I had a overly freindly stray/feral. She alledgedly broke into my neighbors house to mingle with the two male Bengals. The neighbor across the street tried to run her over when she was basking on the blacktop driveway. The neighbor behind me yelled and chased her off. I would have brought her in...
I put my favorite down in Feb.
Since then, I've been following a lymphoma support group. Some cat's have had miracles happen. More endure being poked, tested , force fed and medicated to live another six months. Some crash immediately after the chemo because their bodies can't handle all the...
My best friend Oliver had Lymphoma in his chest and intestines. We elected to put him down while he was still sedated from the needle aspirate. If/when you make the decision to euthanize your cat, have him put to sleep, then euthanized.
I mistakenly thought that Olivers sedation was him...
Well thank you all for the great advice so far. I've never treated my indoor cats with flea medicine, I'm too afraid of a reaction.
Somehow, after taking in strays, caring for ferals, even a orphaned raccoon, I've avoided an infestation. But, I do go crazy worrying about it!
Fortunately the...
I like the diatomaceuous earth idea. I know that Hartz is bad news. Thanks everyone. I think it is just flea season. I parked my white car under a tree yesterday, I must have had 50 fleas on the car.
I've been caring for a TNR'd male feral. He is very cautious. In-fact I have been unable to trap or touch him after three years. Someone else had him fixed. He lives in a heated cat house outside my screen porch. Since my three cat's spend a lot of time on the screen porch, I'd like to minimize...
My wife and I put our cat through the colon shortening operation. It is a decision I regret. The megacolon was pretty well controlled for years with lactulose twice a day. We opted for the operation because Bart was sick of the lactulose being squirted down his throat. Bart went from a healthy...
I spray this on a paper towel and wipe problem areas. Works well.http://www.homedepot.com/p/Hot-Shot-24-oz-Ready-to-Use-Natural-Home-Insect-Control-HG-95846/203572096?cm_mmc=Shopping%7cBase&gclid=CMWn2YripMUCFfRr7AodIlQAZw&gclsrc=aw.ds
IMO, yes they do. Oliver was the little brother that Sammie never wanted. Two days after we put Oliver down, Sammie became concerned. He would look constantly out the windows. Check Olivers favorite spots. Not let the other cats in Olivers bed. He would sleep just outside my knee, Oliver would...
When I was young, there was a bar that would host a meeting for deaf people, once a month. You would think it would be stone silent. Nope, it was the loudest night. They liked the music turned to 11 and feel the vibrations. Your cat may not know he's making all that noise. Maybe he hears just a...
I noticed today that she would "chew air" after marking my bookcase with her cheek. She seems only to do it in positive situations. In my cat, I think it's just a quirk.
