This is my Sienna when she was just a bit smaller....I am in love with her coloring and her bright blue eyes.

I'm soooo glad you found the cause! What a relief! Weirdly I was thinking tapeworm in the back of my head when you were talking about her symptoms. He probably prescribed Droncit, that is what is usually used for tapeworms. Did the vet mention flea treatment? Because thats how tapeworms are...

Due to the age of the kitten, my first guess as to the cause would be intestinal parasites--like coccidia or giardia. But there are a number of different things it could be--a vet would definitely need to see her. It really sounds like no matter what she is going to need prescription...

I am in pretty close agreement with mrblanche. Definitely at least discuss the declawing issue with them. As posters have already stated, many people just aren't educated about declawing. Is Emile trained to use a scratching post? Is he used to having his nails trimmed? If so, definitely...

Definitely don't give up yet! I'm sure lots of people are going to give you great advice and I can only tell you my experiences and what has worked for me. I have several cats of my own but I also foster kittens. The first time I brought home a pair of kittens to foster (5 wk old ferals lol)...

Haha these are great! My Mischa will knead my face and then bite my nose until I get up or bury my face in the pillow. One of my fosters sits on my head and meows--luckily he is still small...

Haha yes, cats do love to supervise bathroom going-ons! I can't brush my teeth without a cat in the sink, use the restroom without a cat jumping in my lap, and more than once I've had someone accidently join me in the bathtub lol.

I'm sure much of the attraction is in that he is a maine coon mix. And a kitten. Our rescue actually has a lot of "popular" breed cats--himilayans, persians, maine coons, siamese, etc. and surprisingly they don't seem to be adopted at a faster rate than our "average" domestic mixes. I know...

So adoptions from the rescue I volunteer at have actually been picking up in the past couple of weeks (yay!) but now something is happening that I haven't dealt with before. I'm fostering a male maine coon mix kitten that was in the euth room of a local shelter when I pulled him. He hadn't...

Ooops, I meant vaporizer, not humidifier, like everyone else has said. I got a pretty cheap one at the drug store that works really well. Yeah, strays can be very hard to age, I've had several that are actually much older than they look because of poor nutrition, illness, etc.

Awww, poor baby. How old is Emily? A couple of my foster kittens have URIs right now...I've found its almost ineveitable, especially when I take in strays. I have a humidifier that I run for them, especially now that the heat is on and the air is so dry, but when I've had ones that are really...

Thank you. She ended up moving them until the hall closet and seems to be content there for now, or at least not putting them up on the bathroom counter!

I'm sending Petfinder adoption vibes your way! In the past 24 hours I got 2 cats adopted from their pics on Petfinder and just this morning within minutes of another of mine being posted someone emailed asking to start the adoption process. I'm still kinda in shock lol.

I moved the babies into the closet again and so far she hasn't moved them yet, but she is meowing at my bedroom door to get out and go back into the bathroom. I really want her to feel like she has them in a safe place--I've provided boxes, covered crates, large carriers, and covered beds aside...

You know you are a cat person when... ...your cats eat much better quality food than you ...your cats have much better quality furniture than you do lol ...the people at the petstore know you by name, and you know their names too! ...you can't go to the bathroom with at least one cat jumping on...
