    Vet Appointment tomorrow, Rectal Issues

    Hey Guys! Thanks for the suggestions! The doc found nothing wrong on visual inspection, we are running tests at the moment. He found inflammation in her ear, so we are handling that, and we are also looking at food allergies. We'll know more when the tests come back.

    Vet Appointment tomorrow, Rectal Issues

    I have not had a sample analyzed yet. She had a few issues transitionally, and the shelter said that she sometimes had some problems- usually a little regurgitation post feeding, occasionally some loose stool. I have only seen it transitionally- once when I got her, once when I moved (long...

    Some people just don't care about cats

    When I was looking to adopt a cat, I was looking at Craigslist. My widget is a very spoiled shelter cat. Good people are out there.

    Galileo no longer mine

    She is in the best case, cavalier about cat ownership, and in the worst case manipulative. Keep the cat, ditch the friend.

    touching my face

    Widget does this! She sleeps next to me, all the time, and she kisses me in the morning. She also touches me with her paws a lot! Some cats are just more "loving" than others.

    Litterbox Problem

    My mom decided to buy the "grandcat" a specialized litter box for the litter I have been using (Feline Pine). It will be bigger, slightly higher sided, and if there is still a problem, i'll build a cover with plywood or similar.
