Oh, Debbie. I don't have any advice but I just wanted send you some hugs. It's so painful when a relationship ends. I can't even imagine what it would be like with children involved.

I'll be sending positive thoughts your way. I'm sure everything will go just fine. I'd be nervous too. I'm 49 and I've never had surgery, broken a bone or even had stitches! (I hope I didn't just jinx myself):confused:

Thanks everyone. I feel a little better about looking at other cats now. I think I will wait before getting another kitty. We still have Jaffa and Puddle to take care of. If a cat finds me I'll keep it. In a certain way that's what happened with Squirt. As a foster cat she made it very clear to...

It's only been a week since Squirt passed away so suddenly so I know it's normal for me to still be very upset, that's not the problem. But almost immediately after we lost her I started going on line looking at cats up for adoption. I've been to three shelters already. I don't want to adopt...

Yep, Jaffa is a light orange cat and his middle name could be mellow. He's an easy going friendly guy. He's the favorite among our friends because unlike the other cats he will greet anyone who comes to the house. His personality is not as complex as Squirt's was and Slinky had him beat in the...

Believe it or not somebody did not want Squirt. She was rescued from the euthanasia list at the pound. Her previous owners turned her in because they had too many cats. When we first got her she wanted to go out all the time. I think she was used to catching her own food. She was a very skilled...

You've inspired me. I took a buyout three years ago. I was a reservation agent for a major airline for 10 years. I hated it! When I left that job DH's home based business was doing well enough for both of us to make a living from it. Now it's starting to look like one of us will need to get a...

I understand your frustration. I have a cat that will only let me pet her in the morning before I get up. She's a drooler too. She lies on my chest and lets me scratch her chin and ears for about two minutes. Then she's done. She ignores us for the rest of the day until it's time for her evening...

I wash my mushrooms. I know they all say not to but I do it anyway. I read or saw somewhere that even if you soak them for a significant amount of time, much longer than you would to clean them, they only absorb a negligible amount of water. They proved this by weighing them before and after...

Yep, The Cathe Nation is the best. Sure there have been a few spats here and there but no comparison to any other forum I've frequented. My theory is that in the back of everyone's mind is the thought that we might meet in person one day at a road trip. On other forums rude behavior has no real...

Thank you everyone for all your kind words. Yesterday was the worst day of my life. Squirt was a very special cat and she had a great life with us. She was rescued from the euthanasia list at the pound and I always marveled at the fact that anyone could dump such an amazing cat. She was...

We have two other cats and lost another one to cancer in February. so we won't be getting another cat. It's really weird only having two cats, I had four for so long I wasn't even used to saying that we only had three yet.

My darling Squirt didn't make it. Yesterday she was perfectly fine and now she's gone. I'm numb. She was what I call a megacat. I've had many cats in my life and I've loved them all but a few stood out and Squirt was one of them. She demanded and received more attention than any other cat I've...

Squirt's doing a little better. The vet thinks she may have had a seizure. She's not out of the woods yet but she's looking much better. I think we got her there in the nick of time.

I'm thinking that might be it. We have found one in the house a few days ago. The vet said cat's are usually immune but usually doesn't mean always. She's such a picky eater I can't imagine that she ingested something.

Thanks everyone. We have no idea what it is. It could be some kind of toxin or an insect bite. The vet's main concerns were her low body temp. 90º and the fact that her pupils aren't responding to light. They are trying to warm her up. We will be going back to the hospital in about an hour to...

I just had to race my beloved cat Squirt to the vet. We found her under the couch in a pool of vomit. They are doing what the can but it's very touch and go. She might not make it. I'm totally freaking out. I love this cat so much.

Thanks everyone. I had a lot of fun doing it. I don't normally watch morning T.V. so I wasn't familiar with the weather women but she was a real sweetheart. Here's another link for more info on solar ovens: http://www.sunoven.com/ This is the one I use and I really think it's the best...

Yes, I just am no good at housework. My house isn't disgusting or anything but it seems like the kitchen is in constant need of upkeep. I've tried reading various books on how to improve my housekeeping skills but have pretty much resigned myself to living in a less than perfect home. What's...

Here it is. http://www.azfamily.com/video/gmaz-index.html?nvid=390095 I had a lot of fun doing it.
