Calypso was the name I signed up under on another board. It was around Christmas and my youngest daughter had just recieved a doll named Calypso and we were playing the John Denver song so it was in my mind. I've never had a "username" before, usually just go by my first name so it was fun to...

1. Sleeping arrangements: Does kitty sleep in your bed or in his/ her own kitty bed? (If kitty sleeps with you, do you have any major problems as a result?) During the day the kitties sleep on our bed, but at night they are way too rambunctious still so we put them in the bathroom with toys and...

Well, I'm not sure about individual charges.. but a "new kitten package" at my vet is $125 and that is considerably cheaper than it would be if everything was paid for separately. That total includes the vet visits, all shots, nail trim, FeLv/FIV test, and some other things. When I took my Sr...

Maybe they would like a fleece jacket with your scent on it? That is what my little Tabby likes. I got her when she was about 5-6 weeks old and she took to my fleece jacket and nurses on it. It is very cute. Here is a how-to for a home made heat pad. You might try wrapping it in the fleece...

Kumbulu, what a clever idea! What do you do to keep the ball from coming out of the big hole that the tissue come out of? valanhb, thanks for sharing the tip about the sparkly balls at Michael's! My kitties love them too (and so do my kids, so they are always disappearing ) I made a couple...

Just had to pop in here and say a great big "Thanks" to all of you for this very interesting discussion. There have been some very good questions and the answers and the links have been very helpful! galensgranny, I just have to say I think you said that very well. I, also, have felt that way...

And a better picture of Sam, enjoying the new tree...

Kim, I've been meaning to comment on your signature picture.. it is so cute! Makes me laugh every time I see it. Patty, thank you so much for the warm welcome! Jeanie, I think you're absolutely right. And I think because we'd all gone through the settling in part with Tabby already, we were...

Sandie, I thought coccidia was one that the vet said wouldn't be picked up in the fecal..? Although we talked about so many possibilites and several things that don't show up in the fecal test so perhaps I am just not remembering correctly. Both Sam and Tabby are on 9 day courses of the Albon...

Hi Everyone, I took Sam and Tabby (she went along for the ride since Sam is still so skittish) in to the vet yesterday. The vet said that even though Sam feels skinny, his weight is good so she's not concerned about that. He had a raging case of ear mites and had passed them to Tabby. Poor...

I called the vet's office first thing yesterday morning about Sam. They were not able to fit him in, but I was able to take in a fecal sample (actually took one in for both of the kittens, Suzie doesn't use their box or "associate" with them). We have an appointment for 4:00 today and they will...

Hissy, I do have syringes, I will try the kaopectate and see if it helps. Jeanie, do you mean cow's milk? If so, no I haven't been giving him any milk. I was still giving Tabby KMR (she's only about 8-9 weeks now and I was just going to finish up the can of powder), but she stopped drinking it...

Hi Everyone, I'm concerned about my kitty, Sam, and hoping you can give me some advice to tide me over until we can get to the vet. First a little history: we got him a week ago yesterday, the day after he'd been neutered. He is about 11 weeks old and we got him from a foster home for a Cat...

Good question. I'm interested in the answers also. Currently my Senior cat is eating Nutro Max Cat Senior dry (left out free feed all day) and a 1/2 can of Nutro Senior wet. The kittens are eating Nutro's Kitten dry food and they share 1 can of Nutro Kitten wet in the AM and 1 in the evening...

Neesey, I am soo sorry
