Hi there, I have three wonderful female kitties (ages 3,6,14) that I adore. All three have been spayed and all are healthy and negative on diseases. A few years ago I placed an FIV+, neutered, solid white male with an older lady. A few weeks ago she passed away. The kitty is now nine years...

Hi all, My beloved 16 year old female cat was just diagnosed with CRF. Luckily, we think we caught it pretty early. My vet thinks that my feeding her Prescription C/D for the past 10 years contributed to the kidney problems because C/D is too "acidic" for a long term food. So I've switched...

Hi all, I have a 15-1/2 female kitty named "Linda" that was diagnosed 2 months ago with early renal failure. Her creatinine is 2.9 and urine specific gravity is 1.016. It was also revealed that she has high blood pressure and is slightly anemic. And suddenly things have gotten even more...

My Touhey is six months old and has never touched the ground, he has two locations where he can sit or lay and look out the window at a pond with geese and ducks and other birds and a field no other houses. He is a Siberian and they are known for not being very vocal and they don't meow its more...

I may have snuck you guys past the sign in page but its pretty painless if it won't let you take the test without signing in. Plus if you look at the bottom of the page and click on "tests" you will find hundreds of these psychological tests that are pretty amusing to take. My cat came out to be a...

Sorry about the length of this posting but I can't seem to make it any shorter and give all the information of what I tried and so on. I'm at my wits end on this one my kitten is four months old, I realize this is sort of early for training but he does come when I call him. I have been using a...

Trying to figure out the best spot to put the litter box. I live in an apartment with a hallway going to the entrance/exit to the garage it also widens out by the doorway and the washer and dryer sits there. I read one post that said not to have it by a door that gets a lot of use but this door...

I just read a posting that said (out of context) her tail was drooping like she was upset about something .........that brought me to thinking about if there is any universally accepted body language or vocal language that I should know about as a new owner in nine days and counting......such as...

I didn't do a search on this particular topic because I wanted the most up to date information. I will be calling some professionals also but I wanted to hear your comments on what age to fix a male kitten. My breeder is willing to keep him (my Siberian kitten) and have him nuetered for me but it...

Crosspost every single posting and reply......that way we only need to read one newsgroup and will get everything.....I just don't get it.....why do those of you who crosspost feel like you have to do it......??......There are no good reasons for doing it.....I suppose someone will come along and...

I have a 2 YO fixed female calico that I got from the humane society a couple of months ago. She has a strange habit of defecating just outside the litter box on a mat that I put down to minimize the scattered litter. She initially used the box for about a week and then started the new behavior....

Hi there, I have a 13 year old indoor male kitty who I adore. He's in great health. But at a routine annual physical today, my vet (who I also adore) noticed that the very tip of one of his canine (fang) teeth has been chipped off. I'm guessing that only about a 16th of an inch is missing. ...

Hey there, About 5 months ago I trapped a black, female kitty approximately two years old. She was quite feral. I had been feeding her for many months near my office and she never let me pet her. But every day she was waiting for me to show up with food. Before she ate the food she'd make sure...

Hi all, I'm really torn up over my cat, Sali. Here is a little page I did for her awhile back. I rescued her when she was one years old...she is now four. She tested positive for the Feline Leukemia Virus when I first found her, but because she has been such a force of nature (strong...

Hi all,   Last week my cat's oncologist thought my four year old FeLV+ kitty, Sali, had suddenly developed "Erythremic Myelosis Leukemia" but now it has been confirmed as "Acute Myeloid Leukemia".  Sadly, the prognosis is pretty grim - apparently there hasn't been much success in...

Hi there, I have 3 kitties at home and I recently built them an outdoor cat enclosure (with a cat-door leading back inside my house). They love the enclosure, but two of my cats eat the grass growing inside the enclosure - which makes them sick later. So I'm thinking of getting rid of the grass...

Hi there, My beloved 17-to-19 year old male, "Tiger", was recently diagnosed with cardiomyopathy (heart failure). He actually seems pretty fine to me (eating, drinking, playing a little, etc.). I had no idea he even had a heart problem but an X-ray taken for another reason happened to show...

George Orwell wrote: Just curious, up to you whether you answer: No, really? Wow. That's big of you. :) One of you said that this is about "****ing with your friends" and revealing personal information (PI). Which person who was outed is your friend? There was Cheryl, Mary, and Lyn who...

You asked: Does anyone know how to stop this fruitcake? And if he/she can be prosecuted for this? I don't know, but I can tell you that the kind of online harrassing some people in rpca and rph+b (which may be what brought on this attack) is indeed against the law. It is called "stalking."...

Hi there, I have a 12 year old hyperthyroid semi-feral female cat. She loves me, but she's very afraid of everyone else - so I'm trying to minimize the amount of vet trips for her. She weighs 6.5 pounds which is one pound underweight for her. Her creatinine is normal (1.2), but she's drinking &...
