northwoods What a beauty! Bella! Sorry you have so much trouble. Respectfully, I would have had her spayed before she went into heat - well before 5 months! To wait until she goes into heat is not helpful to kitty. I do hope your vet isn't waiting for that?? Getting her...

What you would do if his daughter fell in love with a former ex-prisoner who says sorry and be regenerated? You allow the marriage??

northwoods It must be very hard for you to watch your daughter make decisions that you find questionable. I do not have children, but twenty years ago, I made decisions that might not have been in my own best interest (and they were usually involved boyfriends). I'll...

How many of us say a Thank You to God everyday of our lives ?

ketybhagat @ketybhagat (4123) • India 2 Jan 08

I learnt in life to say thank you to God everyday of my life and sorry for my sins too. As a youngster I took life for granted and all its benefits bestowed upon me by the Good Lord. It is only when I started having problems and...

northwoods I try to say Thank You to God every morning at least. For me, it is being grateful for simple things, waking up, having enough to eat, a car to drive, etc. Being grateful is the exact opposite of self-pity. You can't have a grateful 'heart' and feel sorry for...

New item for auction... SNOW!!

mrrtomatoe @mrrtomatoe (800) • Canada 31 Dec 07

northwoods REALLY? Paid for snow? Did they check the sanity of the buyer? (I assume the seller was just an opportunist! And where do I sign up? We have lots and lots of snow in Minneapolis (america) right now. I figure all the snow in our front yard would yield about 12...

northwoods We might stay up as late as eleven. I've never been too excited about the ball dropping. (That's all it does? Yawn.) Getting old, I guess. Every year we go to a party on New Year's day, we bring the fudge. And chili. (It's Minnesota; our chili is probably...

villageanne @villageanne (8553) • United States 24 Jun 07

Male cat attacking?

kris182_2000 @kris182_2000 (5469) • Canada 30 Dec 07

Our other male cat, he just turned a year old. He's been fixed, and ever since he was, he attacks me for no reason. He gets into these moods and sometimes I just get close to him and he swipes at me. One time he bit me in the...

northwoods We had ours neutered well before he reached adulthood. It's costly around here, too. So I sympathize. Some time after he was neutered, he started to 'become intimate' with any of the pillows in the house. I asked the Vet, he said it isn't uncommon for a...
