Well... it doesn't matter now. She's gone. She went into a decline, and we decided to put her to sleep. She died on the way to the vet. I know we did everything we could. I'm so sad. Not for me, but for her. I wanted her to have a much happier life. I hope she understood we loved her...

Does cat milk contain cat colostrum?

Update: They didn't do any tests, just gave us meds, because of the money issue. About seven different meds, don't remember the names, but will post if anyone's interested. Won't know how it works for a few days. About the only new news I have is that she's lost about a pound since the e-vet...

Hi guys, we're taking her to the vet today. Husband wanted to get off work so he could come, too. I'll let you know!

Today I went in to find my poor jaundiced kitty lying in the litter box. Curled up there on purpose. Not much response when I talked to her and petted her. It's so awful. Is she saying, "Okay, I'm ready to be disposed of too?" I've seen her playfully roll around in the litter when it's...

Ok, thanks. I put her in the bathroom (we have two) because it's the only place in the house without any inaccessable hiding spots. I know I'd never find her when it came time to feed her. She hides, when she's sick. The other day, I couldn't find her in the bathroom, even, and discovered...

Kitty seems to be doing better! She's tried to get out of my arms during feeding twice now, instead of just lying there pitifully. Today I scrounged up enough money to buy her some Royal Canin dry food, at the request of my husband, and she licked at it like she was interested! This seemed...

What about cream? Like, say, heavy whipping cream? Does it have lactose in it?

I take some capsule pills I have, pour the stuff out, and stick the other pills in. (It's originally a fiber capsule, so if there's any tiny bit left coating the inside, it's probably good for her!) Then I stick the pill under a faucet for just a second. Makes it nice and slippery. If I...

Hello again! Sorry for the long delay. Our internet has been down. I'm only now getting to read the site again. Kitty is still here! And in fact, she seems to be doing a little better. I've caught her licking at her food a few times, even though she doesn't seem to be ingesting anything to...

While we're on the subject, what about that book "Why Cats Paint"? I've never actually read it, but there's a cat on the cover smearing paint on the walls with a paw. Is that real? I wonder, because one of my friends said she had a cat who would get her feet dirty, and carefully hop up to her...

Oh, there is some good news, though. I figured out that she's losing more hair on one side than the other... the side I've been feeding her on. (She's still not eating anything on her own.) There's also fur loss on the insides of her thighs. Thankfully, I recognize this as an allergic...

Thank you for the prayers! I'm sure it's helping... I didn't think she'd last this long. Awful news. The paycheck we were waiting for hasn't covered all our bills, so the vet's out of the question for the next two weeks, again. sigh. Just gotta keep feeding her and hoping for the best.

I came home today thrilled because I'd picked up some kitty caviar. None of our petstores have it. But it turns out it's used for making asian soup stocks, so I found some at an Asian market for $1! Then I was feeding her... and noticed that she's losing hair around her mouth. Oh no! I...

Awh, Laurie, I'm so sorry! I'm sure you did the right thing, though. My sympathies.
