Voting Question: Why is my black & white cat turining grey and have a rough looking coat?
Could this just be shedding or what?? I started noticing this a week or two ago. I haven't changed his food (he eats raw & innova EVO & wellness grain-free) and I've been brushing him more often and I get about a golf ball sized hairball off him every day. some parts of his coat is now thinner than in other places.
I have never had a cat before so I don't know if they normally look a little shabby in the winter/while shedding or what. He has a vet appt. next week, but I was just wondering if anyone knew what could be up with him looking so frumpy lately. he is otherwise fine, healthy, playful.
I am giving him fish oil daily to help his coat along.
he is 100% indoor cat, neutered, black and white domestic medium hair (Maine Coon mix)..
thanks!!!!!
his coat is just looking shabby, like it sticks all out and he just looks like a bum --
also, he is four years old!
Tammy, most cats I know are on raw and do fine and my cat has been on raw for almost a year and has never had a problem until just recently when the season started to change (get really cold) and the heater started to come on full force, so I don't know --- also , I feed him Innova EVO 95% and Wellness grain-free which are two of the best commercial diets on the market, so I have no idea what you mean by "the diet I'm feeding him" -- the diet I'm feeding him is one of the best. there's no reason for this to be a nutritional thing.

Resolved Question: Red Speckled thing found on ground?
A couple days ago I found a red and green speckled thing on the ground. it was about the size of a cherry tomato or golf ball. I picked it up and kept it. Today it was red and brown and very shriveled so i cut it open. It had red insides with a yellow-tan ball in the center. The ball was about the size of a ball on a ball point pen. I live in south western Maine, near the border and I found it near my vegitable garden and there are lots of trees near this garden. If anyone knows what it is please tell me.

Ten Dollahs
Stumpy Grinder and his wife Martha were from Portland, Maine. Every year they went to the Portland Fair, and every year Stumpy said " Ya know Mahtha, I'd like ta get a ride in that theah aihplane."
and every year Martha would say "I know Stumpy, but that ihplane ride costs ten dollahs.... and ten dollahs is ten dollahs."
So Stumpy says " By Jeebers Mahtha, I'm 71 yeahs old, if I don't go this time I may nevah go."
Martha replies " Stumpy, that there aihplane ride is ten dollahs...and ten dollahs is ten dollahs."
So the pilot overhears them and says " Folks, I'll make you a deal, I'll take you both up for a ride, if you can stay quiet for the entire ride and not say ONE word, I won't charge you, but just one word and it's ten dollars."
They agree and up they go.... the pilot does all kinds of twists and turns, rolls and dives, but not a word is heard, he does it one more time, still nothing... so he lands.
He turns to Stumpy as they come to a stop and says " By golly, I did everything I could think of to get you to holler out, but you didn't."
And Stumpy replies " Well, I was gonna say something when Mahtha fell out...but ten dollahs is ten dollahs!
Maine Winters
Some engineers from the U.S.G.S. surveyed some property and found that in a area, the New Hampshire and Maine border must be changed. They stopped to inform a farmer that he was no longer in Maine, but in New Hampshire.
After a long pause, he grunted and said, "That's good. I couldn't take another one of these Maine winters."
The Teethbrush
Research had been going on for many years in regard to the invention of the toothbrush. Researchers knew the purpose of the device but wanted to know and acknowledge the originating location. After a very long and exasperating study, the researchers came to their conclusion about the origin of the toothbrush. It was decided that the brush was invented in Maine.
Intrigued by the discovery, the media asked the researchers how they came to this conclusion.
The researchers all agreed that it was simple deduction: "If it was invented anywhere else, it would have been called a teethbrush."

Resolved Question: My cat is showing signs, is she pregnant? -update-?
My cat was once fairly skinny, I think even for her breed and age (grey tabby, 3 years), but after she got out August 4 this year, I've noticed a significant weight gain and she's much more rounded in the midsection, also her nipples are enlarged and very pink. I'm not sure when all this started, but I noticed about two weeks ago.
All the sites I've looked at say that she wouldn't have gained weight noticeably yet if she were pregnant. So is she really pregnant, or do I just have a suddenly lazy cat suffering from pseudo pregnancy?
-update- My partner just reminded me that my cat got out a week to two weeks before August 4, she was out all day, instead of just a couple hours like on the 4th. And the other night I felt a small, round-ish ball, about the size of a golf ball, maybe, but I can't seem to feel it anymore. My cat has a little roommate of her own, a 2 year old Maine Coon, and even though they've always gotten along, last year they started getting into little tats (my cat hisses and smacks her on the head if she gets to close, etc) but in the last few weeks, instead of running off, the Maine Coon has been cleaning and snuggling my cat.
For those criticizing my not spaying my cat, I actually plan on keeping at least one or two of the kittens, and I know I friend of mine recently lost her cat, and she is a good safe home for one if not more if she's pregnant at all. I had my cat vaccinated, at least a month before she got out, in fact.

Whats their personality like?
I have two cats Maine-coons I think that's how you spell it, their brother and sister, Mars is the male and his sister is Angel
Mars... the cool I don't care what you say, I'm going to do it anyways attitude
Angel... she's like most females (of all species)... I'm so pretty, put me on a pedestal and worship me, cater to my every need, attitude.
Both are extremely gentle... as long as your not a mouse or bird, and both love to sit and cuddle and watch TV with me. Mars loves watching hockey and Angel loves watching golf (for some reason, lol)

Resolved Question: Trip to Massachusetts from 10/11 to 10/17? Best places to go?
I posted a question yesterday but wasn't specific as to the dates I was going. I do want to see the fall foliage and was told that a day trip up the coast to Maine would be a waste of time, so I am adjusting my trip. This is my itinerary so far: Day 1: Scenic drive from Boston to Rockport (stay overnight). Day 2: Whale Watching in the morning in Cape Ann, Salem in the late afternoon. Day 3: Salem all day. Day 4: Guided bus tour to Boston, Lexington, Cambridge; Day 5: Plymouth Rock, then to Nantucket Island from 9:00 to 8:00 p.m. Day 6: Ballooning in the morning in the Berkshires (Lenox, MA), golfing in the afternoon, and staying overnight. Day 7: Crane Estate in the morning, Marblehead in the afternoon. Flight leaves at 7:15. Am I missing anything or are there better areas for fall foliage or better tours than Boston. I am flexible as far as the Boston day trip and staying in Rockport. I heard it is really pretty and would like to spend a day there, but not sure if I need a whole day to see the town.

Resolved Question: Does anyone know of any deodorants that are all natural?
For the longest time everytime I put deodorant under my arms I get these bumps under my arm. I think abcess. They can get as big as a golf ball sometimes. After a few days they pop and all this puss comes out. I know it's gross but I am under the impression that this happens cause of deodorants. I tried using Tom's of Maine which is supposed to be aluminum free, and I heard it was good but the I still get those annoying painful bumps. Anyone know what is it in the deodorants that makes this happen?
Is there anything I can use that's aluminum free and /or ascorbic acid free?
