Thanks for the advice, guys. Since last night, there was only that one kitten who didn't make it - That was about 12 hours ago. Momma cat is acting completely normal since, asking for love, roaming around the house, being herself. What are the odds of more kittens after this much time? I know...

I'm kitten-midwifing via text message, and I don't know what to do with this. My sister-in-law's cat started doing the normal about-to-give-birth stuff - Making a little nest of old clothes, etc. She was in the room by herself for about an hour. (The family's too freaked out by the miracle of...

Survey says!

Well, your feet smell like you, so do your socks. If he likes something, he might be hiding it with his valuables - His food. Meeps always puts mouseys in my roomie's shoes. Never in anyone else's, even if there's a pile of shoes - She finds his and leaves him treats.

Hobbie HATES my cats. She tolerated Diesel, 'cause he was runty and would let her smack him upside the head (no claws!) every couple of days. She seems to think Rascal Scooter Libby, my outdoor shared-custody step-cat is invisible, and does not acknowledge him in any way. She DESPISES George...

I figure it's just the dust factor - We use wood heat, and we usually have a window or two cracked open, but I rarely do in my own room, so that's probably why.

I did - She didn't seem like it was a big concern. She was fairly certain that Miku's just got a touch of something, and if she doesn't show any improvements with time and love, to give her a call. I've spent my night staring at Miku (vet said to make sure she eats/drinks, since she got some...

An update... The vet said that since there's no discharge and she's gaining weight (Miku's up to two pounds at eight weeks - that's perfect-ish, I think ) and hasn't seemed off, it may be just be dust or nothing, and that if she's still sneezy at the end of the week, to give her a call for...

Awww Mine fight over the wireless router. It's so cute

I know from my experience, some folks with allergies have lessening symptoms over time. When I first brought Diesel home, my fiance would have to wash his hands every time the cat looked at him, otherwise his eyes would hurt. And now, two years later, my fiance is sleeping with cats on his head...

Diesel never meowed, unless someone stepped on his tail. In his later years, he learned how to meow at feeding time, 'cause the other cats would stand around me and meow like crazy.

What it really comes down to is one thing: Are YOU doing the best that YOU can for YOUR cat? If you KNOW you don't know what "the best" is.. That's when you ask for help.

All I can say to this.. Cats are wired funny. Lots of folks have generic herpes - cold sores - it's just such a yucky word to so much of the population I'll talk to my vet tomorrow.. No worries, I'm not going to start pillpoppin' my kitties As far as a diet change.. She hasn't existed too...

First off, I think Miku reads this forum too. She hasn't been sneezing nearly as much as she was ever since I posted this, but she's still sneezed twice since I came home around dinnertime. Go figure, right? I've been leaning against the URI, since the vet said that if her eyes clear up within a...

Careful with that -- It may leave you with watery poo. Just a smidge is okay, though.
