The cats of SE4G

WATCH THAT LIQUIED STUFF CLOSELY!!!!

Many cats have had adverse reactions to it including mine.

GET IT FROM YOUR VET! And if your cat starts to ack weird TAKE IT TO THE VET!

That shi- Crap is very dangerous and toxic to many cats. Even cats that have had it for a while with no reaction can develop an elurgic response to it. It is fatal if not treated and even then it is iffy.

Since others are posting their "babies"...

Trixie...the calico we belong to:

"Yeah, so I like laying on my back!"

"PLastic bags are sometimes REALLY tricky!"

And finally, found at a drainage gutter on a rainy day, I present Taffey. She weighed 4.5 pounds when we picked her up and took her to the vet. The best the doc could figure, she was between 6 - 9 months old. Grease, blood, and gook of unknown origin coated her long hair. $150 later, she is much happier, has NO desire to go outside, but has her own problems from her "life on the streets". She has continual ear infections that require regular treatement, walks with a limp, and it seems like her head is at a permanent tilt...as if something happened to her neck. Grown and at an age of 5 years, she has never weighed more than 9 pounds. Smallest adult cat I've ever had. But one of the biggest lovers and most friendly to all the kids. (and sometimes, like other cats, she forgets that her tongue is hanging out).

"I look SOoooo kewl in the sunlight!"

I sure wish I had a site to post pictures of our cat. I've got a rather fuzzy picture of her from when I was trying out our new camera.
For all you Cat lovers heres a cartoon I read every day.

Man I am glad to hear you and your wife saved that cat Slynky. We have people dropping off cats and dogs around here all the time. Most of the time we find homes for them, but a few don't make it.

I hate people who drop off animals in the woods and think they will survive. They are city yuppies with no clue as to how the real world works.

I am happy to say that since I gave Tom those pills (Friday) he has returned to his old self; hiding around corners waiting for me and the kids to pass by so he can leap out and attack the back of our legs. I still feel guilty that I did not take him into our regular vet sooner, I just keep telling myself that his lying around was from the surgery and that he would return to his old self soon. I should have followed my instincts and had him checked out.

Tom is our first cat, before this we always had a dog. Now our family is solid cat lovers. I am happy to hear that you saved that cat Slynky, I too have seen far to many cats dropped off by city folk in the middle of parks or out in the country where I grew up. Not just cats but dogs too. It always made me mad but what could you do when they had long since driven off?

Didn�t someone else say they wanted to host a page for pictures of all the cats that belonged to this forum?

When my wife and I were moving back to Canada, we needed to get our cat Spoogy the proper certificate so we could bring him with us. So we went to the vet and he got his check-up and latest shots. Long story short, he ended up picking up an infection there and we had to come back and get anti-biotics for him.

In another cat related story, one of my partents' cats (well, used to be our family cat) Misty, was recently diagnosed with oral cancer (she was almost 16 and still very feisty!). It was really a tough decision to put her down, but it was getting really bad and painful for her, not to mention she couldn't eat very much. She used to hate going to the vet and riding in the car, but the Last journey was really calm and she was really cooperative with the vet right up to the end like she knew it was time to go. It was very sad.
