    Frustrated ballet dancer?

    I have several times. Nothing...but I keep checking because a little voice keeps telling me that there must be something there, but no, clean as a whistle. A little part of me keeps hoping that maybe just one of the cats isn't mentally unbalanced but so far no luck on that either.

    Frustrated ballet dancer?

    I have 6 adult cats total, 4 inside, 2 inside/outside, all rescues as kittens. The tailless Manx mix female has started doing this weird thing the past couple months. She'll be curled up on one of the beds (we have several in the living room) and all of a sudden she sits straight up, does that...

    Anybody have experience with manx syndrome?

    Hi, I have 3 Manx mixes, 1 with a tail and 2 without (a brother and 2 sisters), and my heart goes out to you. I haven't had the problem with the urination, but I agree completely with Lisa. I was getting so frustrated, I felt like I spent half my life cleaning Snow's rear end, and it was...

    Need help with a diet question...

    Sorry for the misunderstanding. I thought you might mean that but decided I must have misunderstood. I considered the Natural Balance but Hill's phosphorus is lower I think. (all the numbers are a blur right now) And again there was the continuity with the k/d for what that's worth. And I...

    Need help with a diet question...

    If you mean mix them, yes I could. Snow's main diet would be the k/d but since I can't feed that to the other cats I want them to be eating a food that won't really upset the apple cart with Snow if he decides to help himself at some point...which happens periodically...and which will become...

    Need help with a diet question...

    I have been trying to sort this out for a week now and my brain is pretty well scrambled. I have 6 cats - 4 indoor, 2 garage/outdoor. The easiest is probably to list them and then list what I'm trying to accomplish. Snow - CRF Whisper - a little chunky Chenille - either has hairball issues or...

    Does anyone else have a feline mechanic???

    I told my friends at work this was why I never had cats but they have cats and tell me there's nothing normal about my little muffinface. My husband tells me he feels terrible we couldn't save his eye...I thank God every day he only has one eye. Can you imagine if he had both?????? I wish we...

    Does anyone else have a feline mechanic???

    Oh yeah, he's a blast alright. I have temporarily put up the water fountain. My nerves needed a break. When I got home last night and found it upside down in the dining room, water everywhere, I told Snow (my CRF cat and the reason for the fountain) he would just have to suck it up until I...

    Does anyone else have a feline mechanic???

    So last night I finally broke down and put packing tape, the kind with the fibers in it, over the top of the fountain cover. NOW we shove it around the kitchen watching the water slosh around (and over the sides) and the air bubbles in the reservoir as the bowl part refills. I'm thinking I...

    What does your cat's name mean?

    We picked the name Muzby because we knew we muzby crazy to take in another cat. Muzby makes 4. The other three are a brother and 2 sisters, 2 tailless and one of the sisters with a regular tail. The brother, Snow, apparently read up on Manx behavior as a kitten because his personality is Manx...

    Does anyone else have a feline mechanic???

    I have a 20 -22 month stray that I took in when he was about 3 months old. One of his eyes had an infection that we couldn't get control of so we had to have one of his eyes removed. He also had a canine that was growing up into the roof of his mouth and, much to the embarassment of my...

    Sub-Qs by yourself?

    Hi all, I'm new to the forum but not so new to SubQs. I have a 3 1/2 year old headstrong stubborn domestic tailless that was diagnosed with CRF. I am not an expert by any stretch but have come up with a few tips I can share. Currently we have a 'skin button' (a fairly new technology) but did...
