Oh my nearly 8 years ago I posted this plea for help and lost track of all your wonderful efforts to help! Ned is alive and well after surgery for a liver shunt (rarer in cats) that he was born with. It meant that each time he ate (especially protein heavy food like his first canned food...

Well, Seems that the problem is recurrent and the regular vet thinks it's internally based (versus external influences). Ned has just had his third episode or seizure or attack in three weeks. This one was much more mild, but I'm attempting to talk to the referral vet, animal neurology in...

don't know if your state mandates a seller's disclosure statement, but they are helpful if you suspect some sort of misrepresentation or silent fraud. if you relied on the seller's statement that there were no flooding issues (i.e. your inspections gave the ok but you later find evidence of...

Shoot, my 8 mo. kitten is a fiend for the trash too. I have had to learn to be a lot more tidy with him around, as our 4 year old dog has always been so good about leaving things alone. Even though we have a small bin that fits under the sink cabinet, I had to tie a mega rubberband around...

I agree! Very beautiful. I guess I can see how they can fade into the background though. I will remember to give any black cat or dog I see extra attention when I see them at the stores/adoption centers!

i'm definitely new to cats, but if a persian is high maintenance groom-wise, maybe chosing a kitten that doesn't require as much combing and bathing would lessen the burden of having a second cat?

guess I'm straying here, but a quick question based on an earlier response about Nuit being a black cat (among other things) and having a hard time to placing her...is there a general dislike of black cats amongst alot of people? I am surprised to discover this might be the case just...

wow. cat's have some interesting issues. random dizzy spells. i would never have imagined such a problem. i'll keep that one in mind. his drooling might rule it out, but it could be his own special icky way of dealing with feeling dizzy. yes, MSU and actually Purdue in Indiana too were both...

I'm not building a tree right now, and I don't have any glue or new carpet around. I do have a cardboard tube form, but I think I bought it after the first episode (can't quite remember), and it seems not to be treated with anything. It was listed by others for building cat trees. He actually...

Shorty, Ned gets Revolution, but hasn't had a dose since last month. He's actually due for his next dose but we're not going to give it since he's had this problem and we don't want to stress his system further. He's indoors now, and everything is frozen outside, so I think we'll skip the...

Thanks for the responses from all. KittKatt, I don't have any poinsettias, but i do have the winterberry (I believe) bouquet, no leaves just red berries on branches (it's in the holly family), but it is out of reach. The symptoms listed that i could find include vomiting, anorexia, excess...

Hi all. I'm new to the site, having signed up recently after finding a great post on building a cat tree...but my reason for coming today is much more serious. My 7-8 month old kitten Ned (a farm stray found 4 months ago) recently got sick around 2 weeks ago in the middle of the night. He...

Very Impressive project. I'm trying to do something much easier, and was wondering if you could reveal the source of your 700+ feet of sisal for 30 bucks? What a deal!
