So I was at the vet yesterday getting Beau his second round of shots when I overheard a conversation the doctor was having with someone about 1-800-Pet-Meds being terribad. He said a lot of their product comes from France, and France has poo poo laws about generic pet medications and can pretty much reprint brand name boxes and throw whatever they want inside them. Has anyone else heard this? I'm not finding much online. I don't use them but I thought I'd let you all know in case it's true.

I live in Las Vegas and roaches are pretty much everywhere. They get in the house through the front door all the time. My cat Chief likes to sit there, laying in wait for some poor, unfortunate critter to wriggle its way through the weather stripping. Most days I just come downstairs and find only legs on the floor.  (WTB :smugcat:)

NatashaQuick posted:Oh God I hate how roaches can just crawl under the door no problems. I think the cats have saved us from them setting up camp many times in the past. They did the same thing with a mouse. He's chomped on house centipedes and stuff, but the scariest thing was when I caught him chasing a brown recluse. Now I'm on the third floor so we don't have to worry about roaches and just get various spiders, but every single night they're loving everywhere on the sidewalk outside Omg, yes. When Genevieve (my fluffy, fussy, smooshy, gorgeous tortie) was younger she came in from the garage with a black widow in her mouth. The body was entirely inside her mouth, with only the horrible legs wiggling and twitching outside. I never hit my animals, but drat if I didn't slap that thing right out of her face. I had to race her to get to it afterward and squish it with my foot. That bitch was huge, too. loving desert.

The cats will triumphantly kill anything, but they will not eat spiders and cockroaches. Most anything that flies gets chomped, it's pretty great. I can just yell bug and get at least one cat, wide eyed and excited to kill a thing.

My cat Chief sleeps like the dead and he's done it ever since he was a tiny kitten. For the first few months it freaked me out to the point where I'd wake up in the middle of the night and hold a mirror in front of his nose just to see if he was breathing. Nowadays (he's six) I like to mess with him by lifting and dropping his legs and pushing him around the bed.

I have good news, too! Beau's mudbutt cleared up yesterday so no more pom bombs! The GF got a lengthy lecture about giving him peanut butter (which gave him mudbutt a month ago, too) and hopefully when I get the fecal back this afternoon I'll get the all-clear to go ahead with his scheduled neuter tomorrow. I absolutely cannot wait until his hormones peter out. Also, he lifts his leg so high when he pees it rains back down onto him. I have a true boy dog.

See, I get the opposite problem. For some reason my two poms are dude magnets, especially Bridget. Only a couple of months ago this random guy pulled up along side me in his Escalade and said, "drat, that's a pretty dog," and drove off. Little boys go apeshit for her, too. There's even one in my neighborhood who politely asks to pet her every time he sees her. I will admit that guys who have cats turn me into a puddle of goo, though. I absolutely loving loathe those stupid stick figure family decals on cars, but one day I saw one in the back window of a truck that was a guy in a tie and seven cats trailing next to him and I was all .

This reminds me, too...A few days ago I posted in Yappy Rats about how my very ~manly~ construction worker boss wants a "yorkiepoo" because they're Cute and he likes Cute Dogs (he's also a cat lady but can't have them because his wife's crazy allergic). I've been helping him scour shelters for the dog he wants. Also also there's a pet salon here in town called Doggy Styles owned by this huge Samoan dude. He has an adorable little white pom that he routinely dresses up and he even dyes her tail hot pink, and the salon is COVERED in glamour-type framed photos of her in tiny convertibles/wearing biker jackets/dripping in diamonds and it's the BEST THING. Every time he grooms Genevieve for me he makes sure she smells like violets and puts a prissy bow around her neck and la la la la la. The last time I was there I met his wife.

My girlfriend does this all the time when she's away and oddly enough, Genevieve seems to really enjoy it. There's always a little bit of a spring in her step after she gets rub her face on the phone and listen to her mama babble.

Kinda weird, but Rocky looks just like the kitty I adopted, except she had bright green eyes. I named her Pickles and she lived until the ripe old age of 14. Here's the old bastard that Pickles followed.  His name was Charlie (short for some impossibly stupid show cat name like Charlemagne de Something Something de Fantakat). My aunt bred him and used him to stud some gorgeous little kittens that went off to win shows and stuff. To me he was just my Charlie.

Aravenna posted:The PetEdge catalog has a bunch of pet nail polishes, all different colors and shimmer and glitter and everything. For $2.39 a bottle. I keep wondering how, at that price, it compares to Wet N Wild and Sally Hansen and whatever other drug store brands, and if it would make me more of a crazy dog lady or a crazy nail polish lady to buy a few bottles. For me, I mean. Although me and Quaffle having matching green glitter nails would be pretty amazing. The only thing I could imagine being different is they probably use a quick dry formula. But you can get that with Sally Hansen or any other brand, really.

Oh, mickeymickey...I am so, so sorry. I'm always sad whenever anyone makes a post about losing a pet but I literally gasped when I read the first line of your post. It seems like just yesterday you were showing us pics of your little worrywart for the first time.  This probably isn't the urn site you were looking for, but it's the company I used when Rufus passed away earlier this year. They're local to me (Las Vegas) and did everything on-site, but I'm sure they could accommodate you. I even had them put some of his ashes in a heart pendant that I wear. http://www.petcremationnevada.com/default.aspx

wtftastic posted:Pomeranians are sassy and literally don't give a gently caress about you (sometimes), but they also really rely on you and they have their favorite person. If you are that favorite person, then its pretty awesome. I love Pom sass. It makes me laugh every time Bridget gives me the hairy eyeball and goes about her merry little way. If I press the issue she'll do what she's told, but not without heaving a huge, petulant sigh. Beau's way more independent and can be frustrating at times, but he's definitely the sweeter of the two and is madly in love with me. Waking up with a small fuzzy radiator snoring on his back in your armpit is the best thing.

sleeping ariadne posted:I don't want drag down the thread with despair or anything, but I'm really torn about what to do. My boyfriend and I are currently living with his dad while we're both broke students. His dad has two cats, but since we moved in (over a year ago), we've taken over day to day care of them (feeding, brushing, patting and snuggling). The boy cat, Salem, stopped eating a couple of days ago, so we took him to the vet. He's still there, they have no idea what's wrong after an ultrasound, blood test, urine test and monitoring. It's not his kidneys or his liver, or cancer as far as the vet can tell. He is an older cat (12ish), and he's obviously been slowing down, but this was really sudden. They're switching him to a stronger antibiotic tomorrow, but the vet has gently suggested our options might be limited if that doesn't work. Boyfriend's dad is paying all the vet bills (well over $1200 now), so I completely understand him not being ready to keep fruitlessly testing for things that may not be fixable. Please don't feel guilty if you don't think you can handle being there with him. It's a peaceful passing, and any good vet will make it as comfortable for your cat as possible. Mine provided a feather bed, candles, and a sedative to calm my Rufus down. My girlfriend couldn't handle it and had to leave while I held him the whole time (and for about an half our after), and it was the best way for both of us. Rufus went quickly and peacefully. It's okay if you don't want to be there and have those memories. It really is.

Ugh, about seven years ago when I adopted Genevieve as a kitten she was super sick and needed a lot of meds/recovery, so spaying right away wasn't really an option. Time passed in the blink of an eye (as it tends to do) and pretty soon she was a year old and still hadn't had her first heat, so we didn't stress it. She was very small but the vet gave her a clean bill of health and we all just figured she was developing slowly because of her previous illness. Then my roommate found a tiny black and white kitten in the middle of the Mojave Desert and brought her home. She couldn't have been more than two months old and was raggedy as poo poo, so we nursed her to good health and right at the three month mark: BAM. Heat. We couldn't loving believe it. Within six hours of this new kitten going into heat Genevieve's little body suddenly went "wait, what" and HER heat began, too. Two cats, both in heat. Misery. So, yeah. Props to those of you who can responsibly deal with and like intact animals, but it's just not for me and my fuzzballs. Edit: After the heat/spay went down she went into hyperdrive and is now a normal-sized cat. Her fur also grew three inches. It was like a little switch went off in her body, like human puberty.
