| RE: Building Trust in Abused Cat |
I think you are wonderful for even trying. He is so lucky to have found a loving home. I don't have any suggestions, and have a somewhat similar situation with my cat. He was at a shelter for 6 months when I got him and is very shy, doesn't enjoy being petted or picked up. I've had him almost 2 years now and he is getting a bit better. I don't push him and sorta let him set the pace of our friendship. He does like to sit on my lap.... so we spend a lot of time together that way and he comes onto my bed at night. I really don't enjoy the "clingy needy" type of pets (or people!) so deliberately picked him at the shelter. We kinda suit each other, I guess. I hope your kitty comes to appreciate you and you can both be happier soon.

| RE: Spotted a Rare White Deer |
Yes, I believe you. I live in Oregon and there is one here that was adopted by a family and there was a big to-do about it. I remember reading about one near Minn, I think, too. You could no doubt google it.

And maybe add a sheet of foil on top of the towels or blanket to reflect the heat of the iron. I'm going to try that the next time I change my ironing board cover. I saw several tips regarding that here at TF. ... View related article. |

This is a fine example of why I never eat "home-made" treats. You never know if the cats are wandering on the kitchen counters or if the children are "helping" without washing their hands. ... View related article. |

| RE: Emergency Preparedness |
This is very interesting and I'm wondering if I need more, too. I bought a crank radio and a crank flashlight, thought no batteries sounded good, but am disappointed in them both; they no longer hold charges. I have candles and "space" blankets, can opener, hand warmers, plastic bags, but no TP! I'll add some of that. Also some cash, that sounds like a good idea.
Recently I've bought extra juice and soup, and cat food, in case I get the flu this winter and don't want to go to the store.
I keep frozen containers of water in my freezer to help regulate the temperature and it would be useable for drinking if necessary. Thanks for the ideas, and I'll be checking back for more! ... View related article. |

| RE: Set Up Pup Pool for Summer Heat |
chef4u, you are a nice person! It hurts me too to see pets suffering in the heat, or the cold.
If you have pets, please treat them kindly. If you don't have the time or patience or space for a pet, don't get one. ... View related article. |
