...and he is still being fed about 2:00 every morning! You guys are right -- it's time for someone to baby him for once. I'm a mother; it's what I do. I checked out Amy Shojai's book and I'm reading as much as I can. Salty goes back to the vet soon. I can't wait to see how much weight he's...

He stayed at one hospital for five nights last month. They did every kind of blood test. The only thing that appeared abnormal indicated anemia and some kind of infection (which we've been treating aggressively.) He had an EKG and two X-rays. Then, when he came to live with us, I took him to...

It does appear as though he doesn't squat, but I'm not sure of the reason. I wondered if he was arthritic, but it wasn't indicated by either vet he was at recently. Should I ask if this is possible? Salty does seem to be uncomfortable in some positions. He rarely ever just sits. He usually...

"Oh, Salty. (vet thinks he's around 20 or so) I didn't know what I was getting into when I agreed to have you in my home." But here's what I got: He has cataracts; blind in one eye and not too great in the other. Vision will likely be gone in the not-too-distant-future. Both eyes are weepy...

...many health problems. But I have one big problem I'd like to solve soon. I also want to know if this has happened to anyone else. Salty is a very old male, neutered cat. He's probably pushing 20 years old. We just acquired him a few weeks ago and we don't know any specifics about his...

I originally put the bunny in the box as a "furry body" for her to cuddle with (since she had no mother or littermates). However, my boyfriend came up with a really good idea instead. In some of the pics you may notice a ziploc bag with water in it. After each feeding/potty session, I heated...

I'll look at her just as soon as I find her! She doesn't like me to look at or touch her tummy right now, but I'll try. Thanks again.

Also, Winkie loves bananas and pears. If she sees me with one, she RUNS to me and starts licking my food. I break off tiny pieces for her to eat. She also must get inside the freezer. Whenever the door gets opened, there she is, crawling in! Question about spay incision: We took her...

Winkie loves the water! She is obsessed with it. She constantly wants to drink, but only if it is fresh, best straight from the faucet. She will drink from any glass or cup she sees (in our home, they are almost always full of fresh, cold water), the bathroom sink (or a cup we put near it for...

If you were reading/posting about 9 months ago, you might have read about the tiny kitty I acquired. My friend found the little one-day-old baby and gave it to me the next day. I came here for advice on how to take care of her. She did not poop for 5 days, so I took her to the vet for an...

Hey, neighbor. We live in the high desert, but my boyfriend commutes to Fontana. At his shop, he cares for a small colony of feral cats. How many do you have? We have thought of trying to get these guys fixed, but have not found a place to help us out yet. What has your experience been?

I decided that my kitten was only one day old when I got him that Friday, three weeks ago. He's growing slowly but surely and he's eating a bit more now. Last Saturday he started cutting teeth. His eyes are wide open now, still way too big for his face! He enjoys biting stuff (my fingers)...

Little Mr. Kitty Cat has half-opened eyes now. Hopefully by tomorrow they'll be all the way opened. He'll be so surprised to see me! He's really doing well now: eating, pooping, peeing, sleeping, crying. Just like my kids were!!! I put a couple more pictures in my photo album. Any tips...

Everything is just great now! Thursday, he pooped for me once (kind of a lot). Yesterday, he went twice and once so far today. I guess he's on the right track now. So, he's a least a week old now; he ought to be opening his eyes real soon now. I can't wait for that. But I do have two more...
