Hi, Oh my gosh, I am so sorry about your kitty!! I hope that your search for her is still ongoing, though I am sure it is. I was reading your thread, trying to think of something, anything, that might help, and I thought of this: have you tried calling private rescues as well as the shelter...

Hello all...sorry it took me a while to get back to you with the final update. So, I did indeed have my meeting with the head vet at the clinic (I think I left off last by saying that he had returned my phone call, etc.). My thoughts on the meeting: above all, he was a good business man...

Angelz00 - i totally agree with you, and it has been my past experience that every vet I have been to has also done those things. My cat also is like your cat - never bites or anything, ever - has had procedures like a fecal done with no problems whatsoever. I can't believe they labeled him...

Hi all, Thank you for all your replies! I am much more calm this morning, though still angry, but at least I am calm enough to think clearly! Everything everyone said is true, particularly Shell, who said Aidan is my baby, family, everything. It was interesting to read that, since I was...

Hello everyone, I haven't really posted much, but you are all so helpful when I do have questions that I thought I would come on and ask yet again another question.... It's not really behaviour, but I thought this was an OK place for this question. I have just come back from a trip to the vet...

I have had a small experience with dental food. I was concerned about my cat's teeth as well, and simultaneously, my vet at the time had told me that Mina also needed to lose a little weight. So, I decided to play with her a little more (for the weight problem), and give her some dental...

Hi domino, I'm definitely not an expert, but I can tell you my experience with my 2 cats. I got Mina who was 7 weeks old when my older cat Aidan was 1 year. I know the age difference is different with your cats, but Aidan did NOT like Mina AT ALL for about 3 or 4 months. Mina was her happy...

Everyone, thank you for all your suggestions. Fortunately, I didn't have to do anything last night with the 2 kitties because when I returned from school after speaking with all of you, they were back to their normal behaviours! YAY. No more hissing from Mina. She apparently was either A)...

also good suggestions...I am trying all of this tonight. Thanks so much!

Hey, Thanks for the responses! I will try the vanilla drop tonight. I am concerned for them, but also sad, since I must say that I am very lucky to have these two cats (my babies ) that get along so great! I will keep you guys posted as to how Aidan and Mina are doing. And I would love to...

Hi, I had a small problem that started last night with my two kitties that I thought I would approach you guys for... I have 2 cats, one male and one female (both fixed), whom I've had for 5 and 4 years. They've always been friendly since the beginning. Last night, my male, Aidan, had to go...

Hi...Thanks for the welcomes! To Jeanie, yes I'm in science! Oops..forgot to mention that. My thesis project is on fatty liver or more scientifically "hepatic steatosis". There is a large problem with people and their livers becoming fatty (actually, I just found out in can happen in cats...

Hi everyone, I'm new to the cat forums, though I've already posted a question I had about one of my kitties in Behavior! Well, I guess to introduce myself, I have two cats - Aidan, an orange male who everyone says is a Momma's Boy, and Mina, a calico who is the biggest lap cat ever. I...

thank you both for your suggestions! I had just thought about wet food last night, and I am trying to figure out how high Mina can't go. Also the water bowl idea is great - I'll have to go check it out. Thanks!

Hi everyone, I'm new to the forums (hello!), and I am glad I stumbled upon you, because I could use some advice right now! I have 2 cats, Aidan (male neutered, 5 yrs) and Mina (female spayed, 4 yrs). Mina is my plump girl. She was spayed at 6 months, and since then, has gained weight. At...
