    Help! new cat attacks old cat

    Hello! I have read all that i can find on here and elsewhere about introducing cats to each other. But after trying everything, nothing is working. We have an older female tortie who i will call cat A, and are trying to adopt a stray that turned up on the porch (cat B). Cat B has been to the...

    cat with severe arthritis, won't eat much, help!

    she was the best cat ever. if you were sad and crying, she would speak (vocally) to you and come over and sit on/with you and even touch your face or tears. she was the sweetest, most intuitive cat i've ever known. it's very hard for me now since i work from home and my husband does not...so...

    cat with severe arthritis, won't eat much, help!

    shadow went to the rainbow bridge yesterday. this is what my husband said about her on facebook: The best cat in the world sleeps. She was my shadow, my daughter, my best friend. She was the baby, the fur daughter, the pea, sweetness and light, a coconut, an owl, a paper bag and Jake. She was...

    cat with severe arthritis, won't eat much, help!

    thanks otto for your input. we are leaving the food out...though it is just in tiny amounts and she's usually not in the room with it. in fact she's chosen my office right now as her favorite spot to sit. i am not sure she's feeling nauseous.... since she hasn't thrown up at all since the...

    cat with severe arthritis, won't eat much, help!

    i have a friend who does reiki and quantum touch and she will be visiting tomorrow. maybe she can get the pain down so that shadow will eat. i know the adequan takes a while to work, which is why i'm scared....if she doesn't eat enough before it finally kicks in, we won't have a kitty left...

    cat with severe arthritis, won't eat much, help!

    that's probably because most people don't do home blood glucose testing. i went to www.felinediabetes.com and those people got me on the testing wagon and thusly, got the cat off the insulin. but yeah....just tried to feed her lunch adn wouldn't eat anything except a little ham......

    cat with severe arthritis, won't eat much, help!

    yeah, we've been down the baby food route, cooked chicken, food that isn't on the low carb list..... all she wants to eat is the cold cut stuff.... which at this point, since she's even eating so little of that, maybe isn't such a bad idea? i got varieties without chemicals or other filler...

    cat with severe arthritis, won't eat much, help!

    and no, having her go diabetic again right now would probably kill her so that's not really something to consider... i just wanted suggestions on how to get her to eat while we wait for the injection meds to kick in....

    cat with severe arthritis, won't eat much, help!

    the injection medication is supposed to have the glucosamine in it. and cats' diabetes can go into remission. she was diabetic and now she's not. no more insulin, no more high blood sugar levels. we still keep her on a low carb diet though. and they don't want the steroids because it could...
