R.I.P. Baby
Nov 17, 2008 07:30AM in the Cats Community
Sometimes we do everything right, and it still turns out wrong. My wife and I had a little cat, April Dancer, which she rescued from a parking lot on the USAF base where we were stationed in Florida back in the summer of '86. Dancer was just barely weaned at the time. Dancer was always a little feral, never just being a lap kitty, but was affectionate ...

How is your mom doing now, several days after? And, I'm glad the comments about my Papa D gave you some measure of comfort. If he has his way (being a Force of Nature), he'll break the family record for longevity. His grandfather made it to 113, back in Italy,in a village that did not get a modern water supply until the 1970's. So, keep thinking and h...

Does this cat have kitten downs syndrome?

6 weeks is still a little young for kittens to be away from mom in my experience. However, as was written, they do develop at different rates, such was the case with the two my wife and I adopted in Feb, 1983. Cammie was always a little clumsier than her sister Victoria. We found that engaging Cammie with play and gentle brushing helped. good luck -...
Pain: real or phantom

Hey all; I had a pacemaker implanted April 16th to combat sinus arrest while I sleep. Lately, I have been having mild burning or tearing sensations along the incision site, which appears fully healed to me and the doctor. Is this a usual side effect? anks in adavnce - Pip
