: My sister does animal rescue and transport, and also owns and operates a pet sitting business which has been nominated for Fox Philly's Hot List!

: If you have time, please vote for Sniffles and Friends on the Fox Philly Hot List on this link.

: If she wins, it's a great free advertisement for her pet sitting service that networks with rescue, fostering, and transport services for abandoned and neglected animals all over the East Coast.

: Thanks so much for your help!

My mother has a cat that sprays horribly bad. (yes it's fixed and it's a female). It was a stray that adopted my mom. She has a couple other cats, one of which would fight with but that cat has since passed. We hoped that since that stress was gone it would stop. it hasn't.  Been to the vet, no infection. He suggested it could just be a behavioral problem.  How do you figure out if it actually is behavioral? Can't find a direct link between a particular action and her spraying and it's not usually in the same spot. She's not a big 'lover' and when she's through with you, she let's you know so we don't think it's an attention thing. any advice or websites would be greatly appreciated. any web sites I've found haven't told me how to figure out what would be causing this 'behavioral' problem or natural remedies.

HELP

Thanks for your help and advice.

Take a break from working:

Thinking about getting a parrot, either Amazon or African Grey.  Anyone have experience with either?  Any pros or cons you can share?     

I have had smaller birds in the past, i.e. cockatiels, so have some experience, but never have owned a larger bird.     

Benchwarmers?  Good one!  Liked that one, too!  Napoleon Dynamite is a must see in our house at least once a month!  What a hoot!    HAPPY SPRING EVERYONE, and no I haven't gotten into the wine/cheese, YET!!!!  But, I'm hearin' ya', Hayseed!!!!!    LOL, LOL, LOL       

any doxie lovers out there, i would live to hear from you.  I have a 3 year old who is going to be a mommy at the end of Feb.  She is my best friend.

boycott Iams pet food - they have been charged of horrible animal cruelty in testing their food, see web site below.

When I get like this, the only cure is to push the keyboard aside and pretend the tray is a piano and then listen to a fast piano piece and try to "play" it on the keyboard tray.  (Obviously, I don't own a piano--yet.)  This warms up my fingers and wrists, relaxes me, brings me joy if it is a favorite piece of music, and then when I type again it is usually more accurate and my speed is up.  Sounds crazy but it works for me!  Only takes about 3 minutes. 

Another trick my piano teacher taught me when I was a kid was to practice the difficult parts with gloves on (yeh, that long ago).  Then when I took off the gloves, I could play it better.  This might work for the computer keyboard as well.  You could use Playtex gloves perhaps. 

We have a show on Sunday nights here, a call-in show that deals with all sorts of issues.  A while back there was a huge ruckus when the Oreck plant relocated to Tennessee, they said they "couldn't find qualified workers" after Katrina.  Before I moved here I guess there was a jeans plant of some sort, Levis or whatever, and it went to Mexico.  So I e-mailed the host of the show and told him he should consider doing a show on outsourcing and detailed my experience at having been outsourced, and the whole health care info going to India thing, and I did not hear back from him!  I was shocked because I interpret no response as not giving a rat's behind about where his info goes.  Maybe he didn't want to "get involved" because the hospital that ditched us is a big advertiser on the station, I don't know, but I sure thought something positive would happen, the topic would come out in the open, but as of this point it doesn't look like it will.  We all need to keep knocking on doors and rattling windows, though, or we'll be sunk.  My opinion and I'm sticking with it.

LET'S ALL MAKE SURE "KAT"ERINE DOES NOT WIN...VOTE FOR TAYLOR...EVEN IFYOU DON'T CARE FOR HIM, STILL VOTE FOR HIM.

I've liked Taylor from the beginning, although as I stated earlier, this whole season has been a bit of a disappointment. 

 VOTE FOR TAYLOR!!!
