I just put in an order with Amazon for about twenty different items ranging from a slow cooker crock pot, Listerine, eyeglass de-fogger, to a wireless flashing light doorbell. NOT ONE ITEM could be shipped directly to Japan... Not one! Every item will have to go to my re-shipper and sent out that way. What a PITA!

We've had her to the vets twice now for her stomach, and the Vet does give some medication stop the activity. But a few weeks later it starts up again. And never with actual hairballs. (She gets brushed twice a day.) Only clear liquid and a strand or two of grass. Her eating habits are normal, she appears healthy, active, and in good condition. But there is something that is making her want to clear her digestive tract... it's quite puzzling...

Nikita also has a very weak stomach and throws up regularly. Most often she throws up when she's upset, but also when she's mad. And she doesn't throw up once, she always throws up 3 times. Lexie occasionally coughs up a hairball and throws up the day after she has anti-flea drops put in her neck but otherwise she hardly throws up.

Felicity is healthy in all respects otherwise, and doesn't throw up constantly. I realize that it's normal cat behavior and I even provide fresh pots of Oat grass for her to eat. The Vet told us not to be too worried about it, but the Vet doesn't have to put on my slippers in the middle of the night...

I read this post this afternoon, then went to the car, switched on the radio and it was the next song on the list. That's happened enough lately to wonder that something's going on. Discuss a song and it plays on the radio or maybe talking about a friend you haven't heard from in a long time and they phone.

So why don't the lotto numbers pay me a visit in advance as well?

There is no such thing as 'coincidence.'

Do some research on 'Jose Silva, Laredo TX.'

It is a cat food. She was asking if you can't get dry chunk cat food, rather than "in gravy" or "in gelatin".

"kibble" is the generic term for dry pet food. Any brand, any flavor.

Right, dry catfood. Thanks. Yes, I guess we could try that too - I just know they really like the gravy food, as we tried them on an adult version when the shop were out of kitten food. They do eat dry buscuits, which are supposed to be a complete food supplement, so that sounds like a kibble?

Rather like a bowl of cereal for cats and dogs. Usually crunchy although there were some brands of kibble that suggested adding water (for dogs there was "Gravy Train,") though I don't remember watered ones for cats. We had been feeding our cat one of the Purina dry mixes, but the Vet suggested another brand as being better for her. Turns out she really preferred the new stuff a lot more than the Purina. So now, every evening at 5PM she get a serving of the wet stuff. The dry kibble is left in a bowl available to her 25/7. And... as a matter of fact... it's now 4:50 and she just walked in, put her paws up on my lap and asked for her dinner... I told her the dinning room doesn't open until 5.

Some cats are chuckers and some aren't. it's just the way they are. We have a brother and sister and while he only chucks if he's not well, she seems to do it as a matter of course.
