Thank you for the link! We're waging she's between 1 1/2 to 2 right now, she's only had one round of all shots right after we found her last halloween. I called to check b/c of the rabies and the vet nurse went into her needing Everything she had for annuals, thats what raised a flag. I had a...

I have my clippers and I'm really nervous! Tiffini needs a sedative for her vet visits and with her bring 16 he suggested I clip her nails at home. Perhaps to lessen her anxiety but heighten mine?! I'm all read up and have the instructions imbedded on my brain but I'm not exactly looking...

Were you doing anything in particular when it happened? Ally does this when she gets scared, goes outside, when the vet handles her or anyone else she doesn't trust and of course when my boyfriend feels the need to pick her up and swing her in the air. She's a bit high anxiety. Vet said its just...

Brady is set to go in for her yearly round of shots this month, mainly rabies, FIP and I believe either her FIV or giardia. My vet nurse was busy to get me all the info and I'm just going by everything she received last year so I may be wrong about the giardia needing annuals. I've been reading...

She's 4/12 and weighed in at 13.6 beginning of Jan. Her last blood workup was over a year ago which was fine, the vet said last month he didn't see a need this year. His main concern was her weight which she's now on a new diet for. But the clucking has been going on for a while now, he said it...

Yep just last month and the doc said she had a bit of tarter but nothing that requires a professional cleaning. She usually lets me brush them which helps. Could that be contributing?

I thought applesauce was weird at first until I got a cat that goes completely insane over saltines. You break a little piece off and she loves them even tho I know its for the salt. She also will knock you down for a McD's french fry. I once had a cat who flipped open a pizza box, threw a slice...

Just had to post the doc ruled out worms and fleas and said it's just pigment though even he thought it was odd. As long as its not something serious I'm great with it I've just never seen pigment like that before.

Ally has been making these noises, I hate to say since she's gained weight, I never noticed it when she was little. Her tongue makes a clucking sound like we can with our tongues and the roof of our mouth. She does this when she eats, drinks and bathes, its getting a little annoying b/c its so...

I use Banfield Clinics pet insurance program for my kitten. They're usually in Petsmart stores i believe and at banfield.net We weren't prepared when we found her and it was Halloween, she needed to be spayed immediately b/c of severe pyometra. I paid 69.95 first fee and $20 a month for the year...

I'm having the same problem and its been 3 months, 2 months since we made first intros. My kitten Brady cowers like she's afraid and doesn't defend herself either when 14 yr old Tiffani sometimes growls or swats at her. Then Tiffani goes to run away to a spot alone, I feel bad for both of them...

I don't know if its true but my moms eyes water right away when she's holding or really close to Tiffani who's all black. She has a very thick coat though unlike our others and I know different kind of coats can make a difference rather than colors. And please don't say black cats are bad luck...

Tiffani is 11.1lbs at 14 yrs, she's managed to mantain her weight the past 3 years even losing a couple ounces! She's my weight management personal hero Ally (the amazon) is 13.6 at 4 yrs, my moms "she's muscular, like Vin Diesel" theory just isn't flying anymore lol She seems a little lighter...

I'm not sure if I should take my kitten to the vet or not. She has tiny black dots all around one nipple and a little on it and on two more the dots are fainter and smaller but not bumpy. When I first found her she did have flea dirt and was treated and I thought that was possibly it. She's been...

Thank you all for your info and replies, she's doing much better. I called her vet again yesterday and he said exactly what you did that she'll have to get the meds before any more vaccinations. And she shocked me last night by jumping over my head to the top of the recliner, her fave chair, but...
