Soaps.com - MESSAGE BOARDS

kaycountrygal, hello! And Congradulations on your engagement!

BaileyBaby, Welcome, welcome! Sounds like we have a bunch of animal lovers on here! Good stuff!

I live in Austin, TX and have all my life! My dad and mom and grandparents and great grandparents and so on! Die hard Texan boarn and raised! As are my children!

I know he's not, housework? I write a check every two weeks and it's a great thing, these little people come in and when I get home the house is clean! Cost me $50.00 every 2 weeks! Good Stuff!

LOL at the cat stories! My BIG Z thinks he's hiding under the sofa...not! His tail sticks out and then we'll step on it (lightly, of course). Z had to have antibiotics a few months ago...he almost died. Cost us 1500 bucks! Anyway, the meds upset his tummy horribly...nasty diarreah all over his backside and along his tail. I just picked his 19 pound self up and stuck him in the bathroom sink for a nice warm bath. He didn't even flinch...he probably was relieved that he didn't have to bath himself!

geez K-bit!

Congratulations Kaycountry

Ever try to get an 18 pound cat in a crate to go to the Vet when he didn't want to??
We always ambush all 3 of our Boyz & take them to the Vet the same day for their annuals. Binks decided he didn't want to go. He put up a struggle but DH got him in. When we got to the Vet's there was blood on the crate door & it wasn't Binks'. It was DH's! Soon after that we purchased a soft sided crate for him that unzips at the top. Now we just put him in, hold him down & zip. Everyone is happy & no blood!!

that carrier sounds like a great idea, and it will hold a full figured cat?[/quote]






We got the carrier at Walmart & it was for a medium sized dog. Binks weighs 18 pounds but he is a big husky cat. See what Walmart has. Their products are just as good as any Pet Store.[/quote]

thank you i will, sounds like it will eliminate a ton of grief

Hi everyone. I think I am one of those people Candace referred to who posted personal information. (I expressed my sympathy with someone else who mentioned having breast cancer & said I was recovering too).Now I may as well go "all out". I am a former flower child, now living with my Russian emigre husband (a relatively new acquisition), my 93 year old Mama (who is still going strong), a Corgi named Fozzie, & have my daughter living in our other house next door with her cats.(She is in training to be a "cat lady") I was a wild child in my prime but now get my kicks growing daylilies & a garden & tracking down my million cousins on Ancestry (have 6,900 of them so far). I enjoy reading the comments & rooting for my favorite characters & even the fights are fun (sometimes) but they don't like us to do that either, do they? I wish everyone a wonderful weekend.

We need one of those bloodless cat carriers too. All Alex's cats love her but one of them was a feral kitten & he grew up at a cat shelter & no one would take him b/c he was ugly & psycho (kind of reminds me of a Y&R character). They sent him home with Alex on tranquilizers. She has tamed him enough that he sleeps with her & will bonk my hand before he runs & hides but he DON'T like to go to the vet.We need something to put him in that he can't snag anything (including us) on his way in. MaGuire would tear a soft one all to pieces.

About adopting & then having a baby: That seems to happen so much. Nurturing a child must cause some sort of shift in your hormones. My grandmother was married 7 years before she had any children. They took a little girl as a foster child and right away Grandmother started to have children and ended up with a houseful. Of course she was very young and very shy when she got married-it is possible that they didn't consummate the marriage until she felt "ready". lol
