My grief varies far and wide. There are so many factors from situation to situation. I'd imagine this is the case for everyone, including you. And grief never looks the same (in my experience), case-by-case. "Not grieving hard enough"--impossible. You're grieving as hard as you need to. As long...

Thank you, everyone, so much for the warm welcomes! :hearthrob:

Not a veterinarian, but in my experience... If there have been no issues with the healing process, she is eating/drinking/urinating/defecating normally, and she's not displaying any signs of pain or the like, eight days is plenty of time, and she can resume to normal activity. Signed, a cat...

Oh wow! What a handsome boy. :lovecat3:

Road trip is the way to go. 🚙 If they aren't used to and pleasant with/in cars (most aren't), you need to get a sedative (pill) from your veterinarian. Test it on them before the trip, during clinic hours so you can bring them in if they have a reaction. They last 7-12 hours depending on the...

Best of luck with your sweet cat! I hope you find a nice solution for her. :lovecat:

Excellent, thank you so much! I wouldn't ever use a non-breakaway collars (and I'd rather avoid one with constant fragrances or other chemicals rubbing on them all the time), but I do appreciate the heads up there! Yeah, it's sounding like sticking with Multicat may be the way to go. :hearthrob:

Ah, that makes perfect sense. I do understand you have to tread carefully with her sensitive system! Everything I'm finding suggests the same as you're finding—egg yolk is a laxative. However, every cat is different, and while most can eat poultry just fine, some have an intense allergy to it...

The cat you see in my profile picture (rescued at 4 weeks old) looked just like your cat (fur/color/coat wise) in all of these pictures at various ages!! He had a gorgeous, wild fever coat when he was a rambunctious kitten. He was about 1.5 year old in this picture. I'll post it here, as well...

I have a few thoughts! Could the powdered egg yolk be the issue? I have an ongoing note in my phone that I fine tune as time goes on (all things feline nutrition), and the bit I have "For Hairballs" says: Raw egg yolk. Whip up an egg yolk and add 1/4 teaspoon to each meal. It may be worth a...

Thanks for your response, Alldara! :lovecat: Is there a particular reason you prefer the Multicat in your home? Does it seem to be more effective at keeping the peace, lasts longer, etc.? Or is the main thing Magnus being more jumpy on Optimum than on Multicat? I've never heard of the...

Fascinating! What a response they had. You know, your reasoning makes sense. Thanks for sharing, that's definitely something to consider!

Actually, no! :happycat: You'd think so though, huh? The further I've gotten with writing and tutoring, etc., the more appreciative I've come of new linguistic trends, shorthand, and various styles of writing. But I did get a kick out of it regardless. Thank you for the welcome! :catman:

Thank you for the welcome! I'm sure I'll love it, as well. And okay, great! Thank you for the feedback.

Oof. That sounds about as bad as the 2 week old orphaned, half-alive kittens I've rescued. What a mess. The kitten's health is first and foremost here. Is the kitten on medication for treating coccidia such as Toltrazuril or Ponazuril? It's a nasty parasite, so you'll want to have that cleared...

Hi, IndyJones! Thanks for all your comments and research. :dizzycat: I'm definitely going to continue using Feliway in our household-- our vet recommends it, I've gone through well over 100, it makes a huge difference in dominance issues between our cats, and there's always someone home (on...

Thank you for the warm welcome! The second link ("How To Add A Picture To Your Forum Post") yields "Oops! That page can’t be found." Here's a picture of one of my cats. We admire each other equally. :lovecat:

I have used Feliway Multicat for years. I love it, but I'm thinking about switching to Feliway Optimum. I saw it phrased elsewhere that Classic helps with a cat's stress, Multicat helps cats get along, and Optimum does both. For those of you have have used Optimum (and especially those who...

Hello, everyone! :lovecat: I discovered this site a few weeks back. It felt like I had discovered, upon chance, a new planet with a well-established civilization. After the reign and fall of MySpace and Tumblr, I figured all the community platforms worth being on were Facebook (as much as I...

Does he have a cone? I would ensure he doesn't lick at the site and leave it be for now. Keep an eye on it to ensure it's not becoming irritated. I'm sure it will fall off on its own in the next 24ish hours. If it bothers you too much or it seems to be interfering with the healing process...
