First of all, how long ago did you introduce her into the household? It sounds like you are very experienced with cats, so I am sure that you introduced them correctly, I was just curious what methods you used?

Haha! One of my cats does this, she is a female also. She has always had a wildly expressive tail and sometime, as you have explained, she means different things then most cats when they have the same reactions. But, I always know when she is really happy, b/c her tail will vibrate (for lack of...

^Thank you SO MUCH! That is an awesome article. Thankfully, there hasn't been a carpet cleaner fiasco in the last couple days! lol

I did notice that her whiskers were perked forward and so were her ears. She was in a "sitting" position without her butt on the floor looking up with direct eye contact (I was sitting on a bench). Her tail was low, but not between her legs and was wagging slowly. She definitely had this...

Good point! Thanks!

Hex is our Siamese cross. She adopted us when she was 2 and she is now 5. Our son is 15 months old and Hex has always acted strange when he cries. Today it happened for the first time in a couple months and it got me thinking that I should ask you guys what you think is going on. My son was...

Ugh, this is a heartbreaking thread. I hate to break it to you, but it's likely he went away to die in peace. That is very common with cats and dogs. I would go searching for him, at least then, he may have a proper burial :-( Or he could still be alive and COMPLETELY suffering out there on his...

I figured he was way too young for muscle loss, too. He has cerebellar hypoplasia, but I don't think I have ever heard of muscle mass loss being an issue with that. His stomach doesn't seem to be barreling out, per se, but it does seem a little distended. However, his hair is so long, it could...

Lately, it seems Bill's been getting somewhat bony around his shoulders, spine and hips. He has very long hair, so it's difficult to tell exactly what he looks like under there, but when we adopted him back in March, he had a lion cut and was somewhat bony then too. It almost seems like he is...

Thanks guys :-) I agree about the not understanding feline dental care and that they need it. Like many of us, I grew up in a family where the pets got whatever food was on sale at the grocery store and vet visits were only for EMERGENCIES. So, having cats now and actually taking care of them...

Are the surgeries in the morning? When all my cats were neutered the vet had me bring them in during the morning. He told me not to feed them past 6 p.m. the night before the surgery and no food the morning of the surgery. But, of course, always access to plenty of clean water. The clinic should...

Absolutely ALL my cats have been like this as kittens. It's the reason why my last 3 adopted cats were adopted as adults ;-) I got Hex when she was 2 and she was always a spitfire until she turned 4. Then it was like a totally different cat. Loving, friendly and patient. I got the two boys when...

Wow. How can people afford something like this annually?

I think I decided that I am just going to take Reggie in first (he needs it more), see how it turns out for him and if I really do get out of there spending less than $100, I will just make another apt for Bill soon after. I only have one carrier anyway, so taking in both at the same time might...

Holy crap! I would have rather traveled to another state than pay that much for my kitties dental! Heck you could have taken them on vacation with you, taken them to a cheaper vet AND make it back home for less! I'm kidding of course, but my lord!
