Hi All, Just to give an update on how Vanessa (my adopted stray cat) is doing. It's now been 9 or so days since her spay operation, and I am letting her wander around the house freely to explore while I am around. It's time, I think. Yesterday was the first time I let her out since she...

Hi, Yesterday evening my g/f and I brought home our new sweetest kitties, Yoshi (boy) whom is white and black, and Kimber (girl) who is a likkle tabby. They are half brother and sister: http://www.flickr.com/photos/derien/tags/kittens/ Got them home by 18:30 and they settled in a treat! We've...

When my cat and I play "high speed chase" (where I run a toy on a string up and down the hall and she chases it), she seems to tire quickly. She pants when she lays down. I've never heard wheezing although once I could hear her breathing hard. She's a very active cat, seems fine otherwise. ...

Kady is doing wonderfully well..... Her poops have made it to the litter pan..... and some of her pee too!! YIPEEE!! Now , just to get her to realize she does not need to sleep in her pee and poop box.

This cat I have is so weird. Anyway, my husband and I think she could adapt well to going for walks outside, so we're going to get her a harness & leash and try it out. Does she need more vaccines? My vet doesn't like to give too many vaccines because of the risks of sarcoma and autoimmune...

I'd be a big ass black one, with a few tear marks on my ears.hehehe maybe I'd have one white boot. ShAAmone!

There is a tomcat who was fighting my Cinder every time I let her into our backyard. The group consensus was to trap the tomcat and have him neutered. Here's the story to date. Read the diary. http://www.catster.com/pet_page.php?j=t&i=140147 I'm aware of the cat overpopulation problem but I still...

Hi, I'm in a horrible situation - my old boy, who will be 16 in August, is showing signs of deterioration. He's got kidney issues and the vet's given us options that range from thousands of dollars in potential treatments, to switching to Science Diet k/d - we've done the latter. I'm a full time...

My cat loves to eat grass! Is there a limit to how much I should let her have? The neighborhood kids get a big kick out of feeding her grass from our lawn through a grille-covered window. ___________________________________________________ Camilla Cracchiolo Registered Nurse Los Angeles,...

Candace, I'm sorry if you've already posted about this, but my life has been really hectic lately and I haven't read any updates about Abbey. How is she doing? What's the prognosis look like now? Has she had her ultrasound/echocardiogram? -- Hugs, CatNipped

I've been reading the benefits of feeding cats real meat (which makes sense, since they're not as omnivorous as dogs). It occured to me that perhaps a nice treat for our cats would be a little chunk of salmon or tuna bought at our local Sushi bar. Are there any considerations I should use in...

Our vet told us about interstitial cystitis being aggravated by stress. Since Louis continues to be freaked out and occasionally tagging a door, I'm considering trying the antidepressant he suggested. Anyone have experience going down this route? Thanks. BLink

just getting through the hump hour

Good afternoon all, I'm new to the site and am almost at my wits end. I have three furry babies at home, male 6 yrs siamese, femail 5 years siamese and a 2 year old black and white moggie. All are mainly housebound. They have 2 large clean litter trays with litter pearls in them. The trays are...

Hi everybody ... couldn't find an answer to this on the 'net so I thought I'd try you guys. Hope you don't mind a stranger just barging in here with a question! Here's my situation -- my kitty was sick a little while ago (bad reaction to some flea foam) so I took him to a vet in town; she was...

Had to keep the basement door closed while we fixed the plumbing downstairs - that's where the litterboxes are. We brought one upstairs. Fixed the plumbing, basement is open, Louis is acting totally psycho. This just appeared out of nowhere, and its first indication was a couple weeks ago. He is...

The kitty is doing very well, other than the peeing and pooping in the litter box part. She is faithfully eating and drinking, and pottying.... just not in the litter box. She got a better bath this morning, and is now more conscientious about her grooming.
