we took in a feral cat that was at the time about 2/3 of a yr old and we've had her for about 6 months. she adorable and very loving but only with me and only on her terms. she's very freindly towards me but will only be an amicable cat when she wants which is usually late at night. My son...

Hi all - Thanks for 'being' with me during the trials of Millie's illness. On the weekend things were great - her appetite returned and she was chowing down on food and apparently her personality was coming back. The vet mentioned that there were some more sores appearing on her back that he was...

I brought Tiger back to the vet today to have her procedures done (ear cleaning, teeth cleaning, removal of tumor). She was not happy to be back at the vet's. While I was in the waiting room I took her out of her carrier. She was shaking, and just curled up in my lap and stayed put. The vet...

Today I opened two cans of Wellness. I noticed one can was gold, the other silver and the consistancy of the food looked different. The silver can looked normal and smoother. I checked the labels on the bottom and neither of them appeared to have a GW. The cats get a half can each and the...

I'm moving from NYC to Oregon in about a month. Background: I'm a single mom with a 15-month-old (and a cat). Can't pay my bills in NYC, so I'm moving west to stay with family. Just to complicate things, my mother's in hospice in Virginia, so I'm probably going to have to leave from NY and go down...

My beautiful boy had advanced lymphoma. They strongly suggested euthanasia not bringing him out and he has been so terribly miserable I ok'd it. Somehow, I really thought maybe that was it. He was so utterly utterly miserable. I can't believe though. You never really believe it. My sweet boy is...

Well, Kitty really went downhill yesterday, Saturday...in the A.M. her left leg gave out..she was limping. Took her to the vet for her quartizone shot.. He watched her walk around, now she was more flat-footed. He said it was all related to the liver tumor, said that it was cancerous because if...

My cat has started peeing in the corner near our front door. She's very old, so I don't exactly know if this is an age thing or what. The simple solution is to take her to the vet, but my budget is super tight and she seems healthy in all other aspects, so I am thinking maybe just move the litter...

What is best for my daughters-kitty-- She is about 10 months old-very nice and smart-but she scratches-she always jumps up on Dini... should I get her from paws declawed? she is an indoor cat and never goes outside.. thanks Michael

Anyone who knows of a breeder, club or humane society where we might find a siamese cat-----please contact me! We have a broken hearted lady here who's been trying to find a kitty similar to her baby who died several months ago. Any infor you guys may offer would be real welcome Thanks, Star E.

I was told after I got my Siamese kitten that he was too young for clumping litter, so here I am, with his birthday in six days, soon making him a year old. Does this mean he'll be okay for clumping litter at around this time? Thanks in advance, - Ruby Tuesday

Finally back online after a rather bad computer crash. Don't you just love machines? Last night at work we had a person drop off a stray kitten found on the side of the road. He's about 12 weeks old and appears very healthy and friendly at first glance. A closer look reveals that the poor...

My cat has been diagnosed with CRF (in June) and I am currently giving her sub Q fluids with a special diet. Any feedback on how long other cats have lived with this condition and treatment? Thanks in advance. Gail

I have a momma and baby kitty living in the brushy area over my back fence. There's a good bit of area back there with lots of birds, lizards, and mice. (I've seen all 3). Problem is tonight I put food out because they looked a little thin and they came and enjoyed. If all I commit to is feeding...

A young woman contacted the rescue league about adopting an older cat. The person who took her call told her about Hushpad, so they arranged to have them meet. The woman was screened by a more senior volunteer and also by the current foster mom. She fell in love with Hushpad and can't wait...

It looks like I lost my beloved little guy to a coyote. The cat and I had bonded to each other, and I'm heartbroken. When I get over this I might like to adopt another cat, not just any cat, but one that appeals to me as much as the little guy did when I first met him. But coyotes will continue...

My two cats, who have lived together for 6 years, started fighting 2 months ago (we don't know why). We kept them separated, tried to re-introduce them, but nothing works. Basically, the male cat is stalking the female and doesn't let her move around the house. (Both are neutered.) 3 weeks ago,...

Hi all, I need some hints on the best way handle the cat while cutting his claws. He is still skiddish and still will not go near my husband - so this will be a one lady job. :O) Thanks Danielle
