There's also cat food specifically for urinary tract health. It's the only thing that keeps our cat from getting urinary crystals. This is what we use.

We use the Purina Indoor formula.  It does a good job at avoiding the crystals (especially for a Purina product...)

Sure; ferrets are such a part of this group I should know a little more. I assume pap is the food and shoosh is the sound of peeing sans crystals. Right? Never mind answering. I know I'm right.

I miss my cat so much, I've not been home in Norway since Christmas, and I won't be there until late May, even though I got plenty of time with my boyfriend's cat recently I'm still feeling pet deprived. Can't wait to go home and sit on the steps with a cup of coffee, a newspaper and this little fella:

Sooooooo cute.

We (ex-boyfriend, Unicorn, me) took Jaxom to the vet this morning. His belly is full of fluid - they don't know what it is. It could be blood or something else. Basically he's on his last days. My poor little bean.

Your Lillie reminds me strongly of my old Lucy.  This photo is the last one before she died, and shows her under the desk I'm sitting at now (where both my present dogs are at this minute squashed in together).

These are pictures of my wonderful cat, Thomas O'Malley.
He died two days ago, and I'm still kind of in grief. He was my best friend, brother. We grew up together. He was a wonderful creature.

It's hard even when you've lived through 5 or 6 cats, but I can't imagine losing a cat you grew up with. My response when we weren't downsizing the family was to get a kitten quite quickly. Can you do that?

not really, I live in Munich in a student dorm, wheras he used to be with my dad back in Ankara. I was literally on the plane back to Germany when he passed away.
It's just so surreal, I got off the plane, and my dad tells me he died. I should have known he was feeling bad, he wasn't lying in his usual spots, our house is pretty big, but I always managed to find him. But this time he kept hiding in my sisters old room, on top of her bunk bed, which hasn't been used in years... He was hiding because he knew something was wrong and I should have known and done something...

Cats like to leave and go elsewhere to die.  When they can't (in a house) they'll try to find a hiding place or a remote area. 

pwhodges, Lillie also likes to curl up at my feet under the pictured table when I'm working.  Was Lucy a spaniel?  Lillie's half black lab, half springer spaniel, and in looks it's obvious the spaniel won out.

There are a couple of pics making the rounds of FB: One establishes that Lucy was clearly a branch manager. One of the pictures was of a second dog on an outboard end of the stick: an assistant branch manager.

I knew that beforehand, which is making me angry that I didn't notice it with O'Malley.

Do you plan to keep them, or scatter somewhere appropriate?

Planning on keeping them. She lived in several different locales, and most of them are down in the southern part of the state. Barmymoo can attest to how far away that is from my location (roughly the same distance/time as Leeds/Manchester to London).

I can't remember if I've said this before, but my mom made a little shrine for the cat I'd had during childhood (he died three years ago this month) and honestly every time I see it, I miss him like crazy, but it does make me happy to see his face. She has his ashes in a box on a shelf with pictures of him and us and a few cat knicknacks that people gave us over the years because of him. I don't know if it was something you were thinking of doing, but for me personally, it makes me feel like he's still around, watching us lazily from some unseen place.

In other kitty news, my bff (also next door neighbor) adopted Kisa's brother, Loki, a while back and he's finally gotten comfortable in her house and is now social. (He looks almost exactly like Kisa, except he's all brown tabby, no white.) The other night we were visiting and he was playing and meowing up a storm, so I started meowing back. I can do a decent impression of what Kisa sounded like while she was in heat and it was confusing the crap out of poor little Loki. This is the first time I've actually confused a cat into thinking it was talking to another cat. I've had conversations with cats, but I actually almost scared this one. It was hilarious. I think Kisa got all of the brains and Loki got all of the cuddliness. Part of me wishes it was the other way around, though. :-P

It's kinda weird, but both the wife and I have felt immensely better since we got her ashes back.

We plan on just keeping them in the columbarium, with some of the fur she had on her.

So I had suspected my dad of just throwing my cat away in the trash (he really never was much of an animal person), but when I asked him he said "I could never have done that." Apparently he buried him close to his workplace and put a huge boulder on top of the grave so strays won't dig him out.
My dad says he suspects him having a stroke. I wish I could have been there in his last minutes to be with him.

My dog died literally three days before I got home last December.

I had a dream about him last night.

I miss that stupid fucker.

So I just went through all my old pictures of him, cried a bit, and now you get the photo-dump.

dem baby-blue deer-brown eyes.





dat alfred hitchcock face





see, petey was a rescue dog.



a purebred dalmation - and his mother was less than a year old.



and when he was born, he came out legs first.



...at which point his mother chewed them off.



It's not like he was unhappy. He never knew any different.



If anything, all the doting on him for his condition turned him into the biggest snugglebug of all time.


(That would be Snickerdoodle, my former neighbour's dog.)

He loved my cat, Awwdabooboo.











He got along with every animal we've ever had and traveled so very well.





That would be Woody, my Jack Russell/Beagle mix, who is still alive and still a pain in the ass.







And that's Simba, a dog both me and Petey grew up with. He was still a puppy, even after he had been shot, even after he had been hit by a car, right up until he died a few years ago at 14. Petey and Simba played together all the time as puppies, and I miss them both terribly.

At least they're together now.

The name of this thread is now (temporarily) changed to "annoyed with our pets"

Daisy (our puggle) is throwing up. and then eating the barf. and then throwing up again. then eating the barf. and so on and so forth.

if we keep her away from it she stops barfing, but she REALLY wants to eat that puke.  :psyduck:

Socks snapped at three people last night. Didn't get anyone. I didn't see two of the times but I'll take my friends' words for it. Scares me, don't like it. My friends who were snapped at say they don't think she really wanted to bite them but more wanted to be left alone. Feel really bad, one friend was very shaken. Thinking it was because there were so many people coming in and out of the house and about six people arrived at once which freaked her out.
She's much more like herself today, but extra lazy and sleepy so hopefully she was just cranky and had an off day.

So here is our doggie after getting home from the vet 2 weeks ago. the cancer in his sinus has been confirmed and it is in his bone. One doc tried to sell us on some serious radiation treatment that would cost about 6-7 K, make him feel even worse while going through the treatment, and the cancer would likely come back within a year to 18 months and be more resistant to the radiation. We are not going to do that.

We are going to go with a less intensive radiation that will clear up his sinuses and possibly slow down the cancer. Even with this he only has about 6 months left but they will be a more comfortable 6 months than without the treatment. Eventually the cancer will make its way into his brain.
