I think everyone scared him away. I volunteer at an animal shelter and it is really sad to see so many wonderful cats being surrendered for the reason of having a new baby. If I ever have children one day, the ONLY way I would EVER consider re-homing any of my pets is if my child were deathly...

Thank you again everyone for such great advice! Today was Cuddles' vet appointment, and it actually went very well. The vet listened to her lungs and said that they sound great, her temperature was good, and since Cuddles is still eating and drinking, she didn't think that she had any sort of...

Oh wow, thank you everyone! I looked up some stuff on feline herpes and that does sound like it could possibly be it. Everything seemed to match it exactly. But, my aunt has a vet appointment now set up for Friday at 2:40, so I suppose we'll find out then. And thank you for the L-Lysine advice...

Thank you! We'll have to give that a try. And she will be going back to the vets on Friday, and I'm sure they'll put her on another round of antibiotics. But, why isn't the eye clearing up after almost a month on the eye medication? May this not be conjunctivitis? And I'm not blaming my aunt...

Well, if she can't afford the vet care for the cat, and the cat is living in constant illness, is that really any way to live? She doesn't have the money to take the cat to the vet yet, so the cat is going to be sitting sick all week long. And if this next vet visit doesn't get results, it will...

Hello TCS! I am in some real need of advice. About 5 weeks ago, my aunt adopted a cat from the animal shelter I volunteer at. The cat is female, 7 years old, declawed, is incredibly overweight, and all black. She figured the odds were against her for adoption, and she appeared healthy, so she...

Thanks, everyone! Their names are Ellie, Arnold, and 'Green Frog'. In the picture focused on them, Ellie is all the way in the back, 'Green Frog' is obvious in the center, and Arnold is camflaged by the water bowl. Thanks! I'll have to take the time this week to get some updated pictures of...

She really is! She only stopped because I put the tank back up on the stand. Thanks! I'm glad you like the pictures! The FBTs are pretty cool. They don't do much, lol, but they're interesting to look at and feed. I've had them almost a year now, and Mittens has always loved to watch and stalk...

OMG, she's so precious! If I could, I'd snatch her up!

Aww, that was too cute!

So, last night I was taking care of my fire belly toads and Mittens got curious as always. They started to hop around in the tank, and that REALLY got her attention! She wanted to catch them so badly. She has absolutely no concept of glass and kept trying to reach for them, haha. Also, neither...

Oh wow, she's beautiful! It's great that you still get to see her!

Aww, he's very handsome! His kitten picture melts my heart, too! Hope you have a great Gotcha Dat Tumbles!

hehe, that's awesome! And you can't help but laugh at them! I'm glad Mittens isn't the only one that does it! Every other cat owner I've talked to has looked at me like I'm crazy when I try to explain it to them!

Haha, thanks guys! Good to know that it's normal! I swear, she looks so possessed when she does it! lol. Sometimes, she'll REALLY get into it, and that head will flail around for 5-8 times as she's clinging to the arm of the couch! We all can't help but to crack up at her! We just figured she...
