    Moving an Old Cat into a New Home with a New Cat?

    I’m not sure if this is where I should ask this, and apologize if it’s not, but here’s my dilemma: I have a senior cat (Jasmine, age 12) and have had her since a kitten, she’s been in the same home around the same people (my parents and I).  She’s territorial and doesn’t like other animals...

    What Remains...

    I appologize if this is the wrong place for this or if this is sensitive subject for some, but I would like some advice from anyone willing to reply. Jasmine, my cat, is still living but is getting up there in age.  I've realized a lot lately that, eventually I'm going to loose my friend.  I...

    Senior Kitty

    He did not say what caused it, she is eating some wet food and the medicine is to help with her appetite her canned food is fairly high in protein.

    Senior Kitty

    So, we got into the vet today.  Good news is there's nothing serious.  The hair pulling was her trying to get some matted patches of fur pulled out and was pulling out other fur instead, that and a bit of dermatitis.  She is a bit under weight (7.5 lbs) , but nothing wrong.  He gave her a shot...

    Question of the day: Tuesday, July 2

    My dog, Blue, will bark at the neighbor's fireworks but doesn't really bother him (we fire our fireworks at my aunt's when we have our family BBQ).  Thunderstorms, however, he doesn't do.  It starts to rumble and he wants in (he's an outside dog), and if it is a bad storm we do let him in.  Just...

    Senior Kitty

    Hi guys thanks for the advice.  I guess you could say that this is a mini update.  We did get Jasmine some can food and some treats, she will currently eat both.  We've not seen much weight gain yet, but she really just started eating it last night.  We're planing to take her to the vet at the...

    Does dry cat food formulated for indoor cats really help with hairballs?

    I have used a dry indoor hairball formula (Special Kitty) and I think that it has helped.  She did still have hairballs on occasion, but I don't think it is possible to completely get rid of hairballs.  I have recently bought a hairball control shampoo, so if your cat enjoys baths that may be an...

    Senior Kitty

    If anyone has recommendations for my concerns for my cat I would appreciate it. Jasmine, my cat, has always been a lean cat.  Lately, she's been looking exceptionally skinny.  I'm hoping that maybe I can feed her something to help plump her up a bit.  She only eats dry cat feed, she is...

    New Cat on the Site

    Hiya!  I am new to the site, but not to cats.  I have lived in the country my whole life and found my first kitten when I was about 5.  The kitten grew, had couple litters of kittens, and eventually died.  Her kittens had kittens, and those kittens had kittens, and we still have cats running...
