Thanks SugarMom! Much appreciated and VERY helpful! Yes, he is just a young man. Unfortunately, HCM is usually diagnosed between 2-5 years old. It is a very scary diagnosis. I just want him to be happy for however long he has.

Yesterday my 4 year old kitty Edison was diagnosed with Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy. The prognosis is three months. He has started drugs and yesterday 300(!!!!) cc's of fluid was drained from around his lungs. Needless to say, he is feeling better today. The vet recommended a low sodium diet...

Thanks so much for that! I actually have a gaggle of cats, nine, and finding a great food that ALL of them will eat is rather frustrating.  

Hello! I'm looking on some feedback for Freshpet Cat Food. I've not been able to find a lot about it on the web and hope that some of you may have some experience, good or bad. Thanks So Much!! Liz

Hi Hi! One of my kitties has just been through the ringer with his first bout of IBD/Colitis. He had x-rays, ultrasound and then a full biopsy done. He will be on prednisone for six months. The Vet suggested Z/D for his new diet. He is one of a total of 10 kitty kids so we are looking at...

It is a festival. With doggy costume contests. Lots of vendors etc. One of the feedbacks we have gotten is that there isnt anything (besides the contests) for the owners to do with their dogs. So, I was thinking we could have "games" that the dogs could try that would also make a bit more money...

Hello! My brain is on overload and I need some help! Can we brainstorm on games that can be played by dogs at a charity event? For example: The shell game for dogs! We are going to use 3 kids sand pails and milk bones. One bone under a pail...move them around and see if the dog can find the...

Hi Hi! Thanks for all the great feedback! I did talk to my vet and he gave me the go with proper dosing instructions. I have ten cats so this is going to save me an untold amount of moola while still feeling safe! I guess, in this one instance, this old dog has learned a new trick! Thanks...

Ok...I have had cats FOREVER. And the one rule that I have ALWAYS adhered to is that you NEVER use products labeled for dogs...on cats. That was the first rule I learned and I've never diverged from it. Today, I find that a site is selling kits that essentially make it possible to buy X-Large...

My cats love their Armarkat Tree!! http://www.armarkat.com/1/a7802.htm It wasnt too bad to assemble and was shipped quickly. Sometimes I'll walk through the room and there will be six cats sharing it! It's really great! The only thing I would change about it is that the platforms could be a...

Your English is FANTASTIC!! That made a lot of sense! Thanks so much!

Hi Hi! I am fascinated by the discussions that some of you have about genetics and color. To that end...we have a tuxedo momma cat who just had her kittens last night (in a shelter). She had 3 solid black, 2 tuxedo and one Calico! The calico kind of threw all of us for a loopdie doo! Is the...

Where: Escambia County Animal Shelter, Pensacola Florida What: 50-60 Persians from kittens to adults. Why: Hoarder/Breeder busted in county I've been told these cats/kittens are absolutely gorgeous! Some of them have slight upper respitory which the shelter will deem as unadoptable and they...
