I am not too worried about the heat pad. It is the same one I used for Leah. I have a thick towel doubled over on top of it and the pad set on low so even where the little guy is laying when I pick him up is just barely warm. I have him with me at work today so I can feed him all throughout...

ok. It has been a while since I have visited the sight and you guys were wonderful helping me with Princess Leah. She is as ornery as every by the way. A friend of mine found a kitten on thier doorstep tuesday night. They new I had raised Leah from birth so they brought the kitten to me the...

I used to breed Shelties. They are a very sweet breed of dog. I had our bitch in the house with our cats and never once had a problem with them even when she had a litter. When she died I just did not have the heart to get another one and quit breeding. I now have a Min Pin that I rescued...

Thank you

Call me blonde (which I am), call me ignorant (most likely) but I have no idea what a 6 is. Can you tell me? I have seen this reference a couple of times.

Not familiar with kitties and URI but I am familiar with kities and ringworm. My kitty still has it. My vet said it can take 6 weeks to get rid of. He put her on amoxicilan and cream. She was doing great so he said take her off the amox and just do the cream. She broke out worse than...

I was really hoping to get some insight, help, suggestions from my fellow cat lovers.

Congratulations!!!

We had to put one of the dogs on a low cal food. He hated it and would sneak to the other dogs bowl and grab a huge mouthful and run back to his and dump it in. It was hard to get after him when you are laughing so hard!! Now he keeps steeling the cats food!! Hope your transition with loki...

I have a kitten with the same problem. I found a glove at the pet store in the cat toy section that has really long fingers and balls in the end. When she wants to play with hands I put that on. Plus we are teaching her the word 'no'. My older cat learned 'no' and he knows when he is doing...

Thanks again for the info.

At my cats yearly checkup last year we noticed a growth on my cats side. The vet messed with it and it just peeled off. She said is looked like calcuim deposits??? The expence in our area is just to much for us to send it away for analysis. The vet said not to worry about it unless it comes...

Good luck with your new Kitty!!! Can I assume that Snowman is White? Maybe not a safe assumption. Your post reminded me of when my mom and I rescued a white cat one time that was filthy when we found her. She was very agreeable to being bathed so Mom and I bathed and bathed her to get her...

Yes it does make sense and Thank you. To be honest though Luke has never been an active cat. His favorite past time is finding a better hiding place to take a nap. I have always been concerned about him getting overweight because of his inactivity but the vet always says that he is a...

Luke has been my only cat for years and he can only eat the dry food. The canned food gives him a tummy ache but he LOVES it. So like on his birthday and at Christmas he gets a tiny can. I marked free feed only because of how rarely he gets canned food added.
