Some cats are smaller than others, T-Roy is the smallest cat I own, even among the Orientals, he is very small and probably doesn't even weigh 8 lbs. That is just him though, he eats like a cow (loves people food, and I mean LOVES, he needs to be locked up at meal time), but he is just a very...

I don't know that those pounce hairball treats help get rid of the hairball once it is formed, I think they are more to keep it moving and not get stuck in the stomach. I would try to find a hairball paste, it comes in a tube like toothpaste, or you could use cod liver oil. Cats can usually...

The night stay depends on the vet, some vets will want to keep them overnight, but usually they go home the same day. Girls usually have to stay overnight, but their surgery is a lot more invasive. You have to take their food away the night before which they probably won't like, then you take...

Is it under his chin or around his mouth/lips. If its under his chin it may be feline acne. If its more around his lips it might be drool. One of my cats has stomatitis (dental disease) and needs injections every month or so, if he doesn't get his injections he gets black matter around his...

My cats range from 2 1/2 lbs (a very small 7 month old kitten who has a heart defect) to 18 lbs. Some cats can carry 16 lbs well, others not so much. We had a 22 lb cat at work that was there because the owners wouldn't diet her, she has a very small frame, you could tell by the size of her...

Call the vet and ask for a stronger antibiotic, you might not even have to take her in again since he has already seen her with this problem. Amoxi works for a lot of things but it certainly isn't the strongest of meds. How long are you planning to be gone? If its only a couple of days you...

Vets can abort up until the day of delivery, not the best idea, and some vets won't do it that close, but it can be done. Maybe you could take her in and see what they can tell without putting her out.

This weekend it was really nice out, but next week we will probably have snow Meh, thats what I get for living in Nebraska.

Thank you for your kind, comforting words during this very hard time. I'm sorry I didn't reply sooner, I just haven't felt up to posting, I've taken this particularly hard. I'm feeling somewhat better but it's still really hard to think about. We took him yesterday to be creamated, I normally...

Thank you all for your prayers, unfortunatly they weren't enough, I don't think all the prayers in the world would have saved him, even if I had taken him to KState. My mom took him to work today (I had the day off because I am recovering from surgery and a really bad accident). He was really...

I don't know where this belongs but my cat is very sick and I just need to rant. Scooter came to me as a feral kitten 6 years ago, he was probably 6 months old and the cutest little fur ball ever. Later he developed a very bad upper respirtory infection, we took him to the doctor and he had a...

Everyone with a three legged cat names it tripod, I've always wanted to name a cat quadpod just to be smart. As for pictures, I don't know how to post them, I'm not very computer literate.

Keep the one that has the most to offer your breeding program and/or has the most show potential. And P.S. you might want to wait until they are 12+ weeks old, a lot can change between now and then.

Well the stray that has been hanging around my house is mine. Last Thursday I put a collar on him with a note that said "Does he have an owner, I have been feeding him and he has been hanging around at my house a lot, if he has an owner please call 555-5555." Except I put my real phone number...
