I've googled mastitis and I don't think that's an issue. Nothing appears red or swollen and she doesn't seem to be in any kind of pain. She's cheery and welcomes our attention and cuddling.

We took in 2 stray mama cats a few weeks ago. One of the mamas, dubbed Peepers, had 2 babies; a boy we named Toulouse and a girl we named Neytiri. They were born on 4/5 so they're roughly 2.5 weeks old today. I noticed yesterday that Toulouse is whining a lot. It's real raspy and he seems to be...

We are losing the battle wirh fleas in our home and in the yard this year. Inside, we've been sprinkling food grade DE everywhere and vacuuming but no change. We were using Advantage originally for the cats and our dachshund but we stopped because we want to get away from chemicals but aren't...
