    Who needs an alarm clock anyways?

    Awww! Today Rocky woke me up and after I fed them and went back to bed (hey, it's Saturday) he settled down on my arm, laid his head down on my chest and started purring. It was so cute! He almost never does that. I have to get up around 6 (it would be so nice to sleep until 8 or 8:30. )...

    Feeding Routine

    Breakfast is around 6:30 AM (depends on when Rocky wakes me up). They each get a 3 ounce can of food in the morning and they are fed in seperate rooms (though they always take a bite out of each others food before going to their own). Lunch is 12:00 or 12:30 PM. It depends on a few factors. They...

    Does Feliway really work?

    Can you return it if it doesn't work? Or does that depend on the individual store?

    How did you know it was time?

    I don't have experience with older sick cats but I do know when I would say it's time. What is their quality of life? If their not eating well, not feeling very well most of the time, constantly having to take meds and going to the vet, not themselves, seem like their in pain etc. and they...

    Does Feliway really work?

    Does anyone have experience with Feliway working for them? I'm thinking of getting the stuff in the spray bottle for spraying in carriers. Rocky's a trooper and actually kind of likes going to the vet. Penny flat out hates it and thinks it's the worst thing in the world. She stresses out so much...

    Who needs an alarm clock anyways?

    I know, right? After he wakes me up I get out of bed and I'm stumbling around to the food bowls and changing water in water bowls and scooping litter boxes all half asleep. It's a miracle I don't fall down the stairs.

    Bad diarrhea and vomitting...when to take to vet?

    I know quite a bit about FIV as Penny was diagnosed with it last year. She never graded his heart murmur. She said he had a "slight heart murmur." She was listening for about 15 or so seconds so I'm guessing a 1 or 2. We're going to take him back to get further testing once he's feeling 100%...

    Bad diarrhea and vomitting...when to take to vet?

    Okay so....last year the vet we took Penny to the vet when she was sick was just filling in for the regular vets as they were on vacation. We didn't know that at the time and did not like the vet AT ALL. I was searching quickly for a vet that took walk-ins and found that hospital again and...

    Bad diarrhea and vomitting...when to take to vet?

    I can only do that if I take him to the emergency room....my vet doesn't take walk-ins and the next available appointment was tomorrow at 10:30 AM. So I guess a trip to the emergency vet is in order...

    Where do you put your cat's litter box?

    One in the living room on the main floor, two in two seperate bedrooms on the second floor, and one in the basement under the stairs. Spike can only get to the one in the living room and he's only in there when we are and knows he'll get in trouble if he tries eating anything from it. His access...

    Bad diarrhea and vomitting...when to take to vet?

    I have an appointment scheduled for tomorrow at 10:30 AM. Right now I have him isolated in the master bedroom with his food and water bowl, a litter box and some toys. He's been sleeping and wanting out of the room some. I don't think he has any sort of blockage. I have observed him closely and...

    Bad diarrhea and vomitting...when to take to vet?

    Last night I noticed one of the cats had really bad smelling diarrhea. Today I monitored the litter boxes and found out it's Rocky. He's gone at least three times so far today and I'm almost positive it was him who vomited on the carpet (partially undigested food). He isn't acting sick in any...

    Microchipping V Tattooing

    They aren't outside cats. When we first got them almost three years ago (when they were seven weeks old) they were being kept outside. They were on the wild side. We kept them inside for about a month to get them used to our home and then we let them outside as we were in a very rural area with...

    Microchipping V Tattooing

    The chance of cancer was something I was concerned with. I don't really want to tattoo or micrchip. Any ways to train them to wear collars?
