Thank you for responding. We have already had Taz in with the other cats (somewhat) for about 3 weeks. Will re-setting things and keeping him on his own really help? I think Taz and Connor will still remember each other, and go back to the same behavior. I'm still willing to try though. We have...

Forgot to add (if it matters) Taz spends all of his time under furniture or in the closet, unless I am up on the bed with no other cats in the room, then he likes to snuggle. But he is becoming less and less happy and snuggly, and I am missing my sweet little boy. I don't want my furry bullies...

Ok, please bear with me. We just took a new cat into our home, named Taz. He is sort of a foster I guess, but I'd like to keep him long term if possible. He belongs to my husbands best friend (D) and we took him in when D was kicked out by his crazy ex girlfriend, and she was threatening to kill...

I'm not sure where to post this, but I've been struggling with my baby Murphy's health for a few months now. He was losing weight to the point where he was just over 8 lbs, looking very gaunt, and his coat was dull and oily. You could feel all the ridges of his spine when you petted him. Finally...

Declawing is an awful, cruel procedure. It's equal to cutting off the fingers of a human at the first knuckle. It's not painless or humane. There are definitely other options. Fist are products like SoftClaws (click the link) I've never tried them but I hear good things, plus you can get them in...

Hello all. As a bit of background, I have 3 kitties - Connor, Murphy and Amelia. All 3 have been on a free feed schedule since we got them about 2 years ago. All 3 get dry food with an occational canned food as a treat.  Due to recent medical issues, their diets have had to be changed. First...

Update: Murphy dropped down to 8.2 at his lowest, the beginning of June. He has been diagnosed with Idiopathic Hypercalcemia, which menas his body is absorbing too much calcium. He has crystals in his urine but hasn't developed kidney stones. All 3 cats have been on the k/d Science Diet (kidney...

Thanks for the replies :) I know the vet did the combo test to rule out leukemia. I don't remember if they did a blood panel as well, I tried to find the invoice just now but couldn't locate it. Murphy just turned two, so he's still young. He's always been a skinny boy, I feel like he may have...

I've been a little concerned about my cat Murphy's weight for awhile now. I took him to a vet for a recent issue that turned out to be a herpes flare-up. The vet seemed unconcerned about his weight but I still wonder if I should try to beef him up. He weighs 8.6 lbs and his twin brother Connor...

Thanks Norachan! Connor and Murphy (black longhairs) are brothers. Amelia is not related.

My Amelia withe her beautiful green eyes (I love how they match the quilt perfectly) Murphy's eyes are weird. Sometimes they are clearly a yellow/gold Other times green And his brother Connor has beautiful green eyes too
