I got my cat Susie Q (you see her in my avatar) from a shelter,  the board of health have since closed down due to health issues in the cats, about 2 years ago. The cats there were known to have respiratory illnesses, among other illnesses, but I felt sorry for my little sniffling cat. She has...

Both times by the way, my cats got the bugs I believe from the shelter - they were entirely indoor, and the two different groups of cats showed no symptoms beforehand - just wanted to add that. 

Sorry to hear they were feeling under the weather. I do believe (having volunteered in many animal shelters) that you can bring things home from them. There are some common bugs going around a few of them, one starts with a c, it's a common shelter cat stomach bug - and my cats got it when I...

The shelter said she might have been a little siamese - what do you guys think? My mom says she's your regular outside ally cat lol but she's indoors only now. Her eyes...

It's in my avatar - except you can't see her grey nose (so cute) She's a DSH 1/4 siamese mix, with maybe some russian blue mixed in. I love her so much, she's such a cutie.
