I have neither friends nor family. I will see if calling Capstar is a possibility, but I'm sure they'll tell me to go to a vet.

Hang on! Guys! You're telling me there's a doctor what specializes in medicine for animals?? Seriously, people, I don't need to hear with every single reply that I should take her to a vet. I know I should take her to a vet. But did you know that vet's cost +gasp+ money? I remember going on...

Of course. But given the night before she was in high spirits and ate a ton (into which the pill was mixed), and the next day she's suddenly bad with no warning, seems logical. Just call it my curiosity then. If a cat has one of the LISTED side effects of Capstar including trouble breathing...

Does anyone happen to know WHAT in a bad medication reaction would cause breathing problems? I would think something like that would be so bad it would kill her in a day, or she'd be getting better. 😕

I gave two kitties Capstar 2 days ago, and one has had trouble breathing since. It sounds struggling and wet. And she's lethargic. I've given her Capstar a dozen times before and no reaction, but it's too big a coincidence surely since it happened right after? Assuming this is a side-effect...

I have a 16-year-old cat who's been pooping everywhere for months now. She's been to the vet and had a load of tests done, but $300+ and several treatments later there's been no improvement. It's really quite horrifically awful and I don't know what to do anymore. She's clearly got cramps/pain...

Any reason no one DID go for the Scat Mat under the recliner idea? I'm looking at the product and it seems like it would work...?

He's been self-learning things for a while, and has built us table and a bench, a bed-frame, and some shelves. (Ohhh that reminds me, he almost finished building a booth like in a restaurant for one place we lived, then we had to move to a new place it wouldn't fit and we had to leave it behind...

I sometimes seriously consider just abandoning all normal life and responsibility and becoming a vigilante who murders people who abuse animals. I'd make the antifreezers drink it themselves and watch them die and not feel bad at all! /end crazy A catio, you stupid idiot!! (Talking to...

Well, Lady Fluffington has been returned to me. (Thread about it here, but it's not a necessary read, long story short didn't even give it a full two weeks! Siiiigh.) Anyway I'm having troubles with her. She constantly wants to go out, constantly, all the time always. She paces and meows...

I know! The first thing my husband said when I read her the email she sent, not quite a week in, was: "Oh no, the product isn't performing as expected and she wants to return it!" It was so disappointing because she seemed more cat-savvy. D: It only took me a week or two to win over stray...

I recently adopted out Lady Fluffington (a stray I took in last year who's got a thread here somewhere, maybe probably), and it's only been a week but the adopter is emailing me saying she has a problem. Apparently Fluff is hiding "somewhere" and has only come out a couple times at around 10pm...

Okay I have a lot of replies to make and no time right now, but hopefully later... In the meantime, Jcatbird (or anyone else with experience): HOW do you get so many cats to coexist peacefully! My space is very limited but I've provided everyone with their own little hidey-spots, bed for...

Oh, something in writing is a good idea! I'll take any more of those you have. And obviously take your time, I know you have your hands full. Took this picture just for you: Two street urchins (President Richard Milhous Nixon left, Lady Fluffington right) who complained when I first...

Over SEVENTY adoptions, you just blew my mind! I know you've got your own concerns right now so I'll try to keep my reply short. I completely get your point about being unable to divide our attention. My three house-cats are already getting far less attention than I want to give them now that...
