Now that Othello and Macbeth are both relatively healthy, we thought we had our problems behind us. HA! And HA! again! About a week ago I went to get a clean rag from the bag in the bathroom, only to find that the whole Wal-Mart bag full had been saturated with cat urine. It was kind of...

My Allie used to shower with me all the time--she'd stand in the tub floor and straddle the drain and watch the water fall--but lately she just likes to wait till I get out, lick the faucet, writhe around my legs and feet (so they end up covered in black fur), and stare intently as I brush my...

Hi everyone! I've already posted in the health and nutrition forum, but now that we've solved the crisis at hand I figured I'd saunter over here to introduce myself. A week ago yesterday we adopted two cats from the animal shelter in the area. We'd been looking at various cats and kittens at...

An update for those interested: After a bit of a rocky start on the food (it seemed like he didn't have much of an appetite, despite having not eaten for 6 days), and some gentle persuading at first, Macbeth is eating like any normal cat should! He has is own dish separate from Othello and so...

Wow I never thought I'd be doing this for an animal but... Last night I warmed up a can of turkey baby food (with no salt in the ingredients list) and sprinkled on some parmesan cheese. Macbeth initially didn't want to lick it off my finger, and certianly not eat it from the dish, but after I...

OK we ran to the store and got Turkey baby food, as well as a small pouch of some Friskies wet food. I sprinkled some catnip on the wet food and found Macbeth sitting on our bed. I dipped my finger in the food "juice" and he eagerly licked about 10 fingers-full. I also got him to eat a few...

I suppose baby food will be the next thing to try...as I said, Othello is eating OK but Macbeth isn't, or else is doing it so slyly we don't notice (and with such a tiny place, it'd pretty much have to be the middle of the night that he's eating). I'm beginning to wonder if we should...

Thanks for your reply! And yeah, it's been a lot of learning, really quickly. :-) But we're doing what we can. No, the vet didn't do any blood work. He told us there was a 99% chance that the Hartz was the cause of their difficulties, but we washed it off soon enough that they should both...

OK this is my first post on here, and I have a long and complicated story with some problems I'd love some help with if anyone is able. About a week ago my fiance and I acquired (through shelter adoption) two young male cats: Macbeth, a long-haired orange and white kitty, and Othello, a DSH...
