Well, the vet finally rang me. She'd had a difficult patient before Frank so it took her this long (it's 3 in the afternoon here) to get around to him (guesswho's been on tenterhooks the past 6 hours?). From the new X-rays and the old ones, and examining him while he was lightly sedated, she made...

Something has happened to Hugo Katt while he was outside, I don't know what. My guess is he has been in a fight, though there are no regular aggressive cats around nowadays. He came limping very slowly like he was a hundred years old and did not let me pick him up because something obviously hurt....

I was browsing through my web site and came across this page. I don't know if you still have these pictures so I kept them and you can download any you want... http://www.possibleplaces.com/Tweed/ -- Hugs, CatNipped

After almost a week of Clavamox, Rusty is losing his appetite. He hardly touched his dinner tonight. I tried to spoon feed him to no avail. Tomorrow when I go to pickup more prescription food and next week's antibiotic. I will talk to the vet about it. Previously Rusty lost appetite while on a...

After Nancy and I took Milton in on a fostering basis we decided that we would see if he could be trained to be a leash cat. Nancy made him a custom walking jacket. We took him in to the back yard a couple times with Ranger and he did really well. So when we next had to go to the pet supply...

Weeble was being ultra friendly last night while we were watching TV (my lap most evenings is hogged by either Tennessee or Barney & Bam-Bam), and as I was giving him his proper luvins, pettins & skritchins, I noticed he has a lump on one of his rear legs (no, this is NOT a repeat of the case where...

This is a strange thing I've observed on Frank now and then. As most of you probably know, Frank has a pink nose. Every now and then, a stripe along the top of the pink appears. It's a brownish stripe. Sometimes it's only a pin-stripe, barely perceptible to a worried Meowmie's eyes, but the...

Hi all, I am working late and just went down to open the garage from the outside for a car. Walking along the office building I saw a small black shape very still on the driveway. I knew it was what I wished it not to be, a little sweet black feral kitty. She looked all dead, even if she couldn't...

Purrs please. Molly my kitten is here purring and kneading, but she would like some help if possible. My 2 year old boy Casey has had problems going to the bathroom all day Saturday (yesterday), and I am going to have to take him into the vet as soon as they open at 8am this morning (Sunday). I...

I almost hesitate to post something this personal because of all of the tragedy going on in the aftermath of Katrina, but I know people here understand. I had to let Kona go to the Bridge Tuesday night. Around the beginning of July he developed a swelling in the side of his face, some discharge...

Today, I heard a big commotion and a series of loud distressed squeals coming from the kitchen. I thought that maybe a large bird had gotten trapped in the range hood duct or something. I knew it wasn't another cat, because the resident guard-cat, Buster, was cowering. What I saw was Dot...

I've seen it loose, in bags, and read about fresh catnip here in rpca. So what do you do with it? I can't conceive of just sprinkling it all over the carpet. Jill

This morning an abscess broke open under Rosie's chin. A trip to the vet resulted in the diagnosis of acne with a secondary infection. The problem spots were drained and flushed and we brought her home with some medicated wipes and Clavamox drops. I tried to give her the drops, but she shook...

My real name is Stacy but my daughter's friends have dubbed me the kitty lady. I am currently owned by 1 housecat, but we have 6 feral cats that come by daily to eat. I guess I should introduce them first before I ask my question. My indoor owner is Sassafras she is a DSH, we call her Sassy for...

I'm not being over-sensitive here, I'd like some advice. I know I "OT" a lot - probably twice as much or more as anyone else here. I'd rather not do that because it *does* cause some frustration and I'd just rather not do that to anyone. Some of you may be WWW savvy enough to help me with the...

She died this morning at 6.10am (local time, Western Australia, Monday the 25th of April). Those of you who have followed her story will know how much she is going to be missed. She fought a hard battle against the inevitable for the past two weeks, but ultimately it was just her time to go. She...

I just read CatNipped's farewell post with rather a heavy heart. Such a nice lady; I wish she lived in Buffalo... While I have been a less frequent presence lately due to job constraints, I have been finding certain crosspostings/trollings in recent weeks to be thoroughly obnoxious. (Some little...

Hi everyone! This is truly the happiest day of my life! You may remember I posted asking for "get your furry butt home" purrs for Antonio about a month ago. There had been no sign of him until two days ago, when my neighbors spotted him near our condo's tennis courts. I had to stop setting the...
