Thank you all so much, guys! Now I have a clearer understanding of what we could do. Reading articles and info is very, very helpful and essential, but hearing people share their experiences makes it more real and specific - how people adapt and/or adjust the info one reads to real life. :)

Thank you very much. When you say seaweed for plaque control, do you mean that it is sold as such (as in, it says on the box/container that it is a seaweed supplement for plaque control)? What brand? Where do you buy it? Is it available online? And do you find it effective for plaque control...

I've been reading and reading all the links available on the forum regarding diets and nutrition, and to be honest, lots of info to digest and process. As I read, this is what I understand so far - I am going to put it succinctly in bullet type of form: 1. Raw is better than cooked, but even...

Mizzely, Tabbytom and LTS3 - thank you very much for taking the time to answer my questions and in such detail at that. I am going to read the links you suggested, but even your replies/suggestions and experienced you've shared here already answer a lot. Thank you!

stefanz and abyeb - thank you for your replies. Here are some more photos. Stefanz - regarding my nick. No, it's not because of her, it's because of real squirrels. But nice catch :) - I didn't even think that it could sound related to her (talk about synchronicities ;) ). I think she is a...

My relatives got a 3month old kitten and would like to provide the best care they can, but don't know much. So here are some questions: 1. Should a 2-3 month old kitten be allowed to eat however much she wants? And only once she reaches adulthood, will her menu be rationed to prevent extra...

My relatives got this sweet kitten. The person who had the kitten said she was some kind of British breed. I am not good at nuances in cat breeds, but I always thought that the British short haired is the cute chubby faces looking type. But maybe there are some other British breeds I don't know...

You said that you clean his box every day. Is it once a day? Because some cats need their box cleaned more than once a day. Even if in the past he was ok with just daily cleaning, it can easily change. I found myself cleaning it several times a day when I observed how the cat would try and look...

What Columbine said. Little children, especially toddlers, are not aware yet and have little contort over how gently or how rough they are with things. It may not be very noticeable for human adults, but for animals even the subtle nuances are meaningful. 1) animals are very, very sensitive to...

Sorry - I am in a rush right now, so will be brief and hopefully someone else will elaborate and add. Cats should not be introduced like that - just putting them together. Generally the procedure for introducing cats is very specific and gradual. First, the new cat is usually kept in a...

Poor Belit and yet, lucky Belit...

;) very relatable

What a hopeful update. Praying and keeping fingers crossed it will all work out for her.

I've been lurking, following Angel's story, because I really have no words of wisdom to give, but just wanted to say what an angel you are for this little lost furry Angel... You are doing everything that can be done in this situation, and you seem to know intuitively how to connect with her...

What everyone said. Just like people, each cat has a personality of its own, personal likes, dislikes and quirks. :) some are cuddly, others - not do much, and there are those who aren't into cuddling at all. But they still express their affection for you, just in their own unique way. E.g...
