I would like to add, though, that I sometimes miss out on information when shortened names or initials are used. A search for a term like "Nigerian" might miss "Nigies" and stuff like that. I try to post the term and then switch to shorthand for the following discussion. One of my friends was...

My cat has been losing weight. Took her to the vet; she had a urinary tract infection. They gave her a shot of antibiotic and now she is back to eating well. There may be other reasons she stopped eating- tooth problems, food changes? My cat liked one type of food which purina stopped making...
