My Dad, who lives an hour from me, has been taking care of a local stray cat for some years. He's about 10 years old and has already had a slew of problems. Just a few months ago he had two enormous, ruptured, basal cell tumors removed from his sides. He had some blunt trauma to his head when he...

O_O eep! Well, I figure that if nothing else good comes out of this, my house is going to cleaner than it ever has before, and it'll be good practice for when I have kids. I would have loved to see that x-ray.

Mutti, how did you find the string in your boyo?

oh no, he's still a financial parasite. I'm just a simple gullible human and he knows that he will always win. Besides, he brainwashed me with his purring.

Long time no see, so since my cat decided to cost me $702.00 today, I thought I should share. My kitten, Burdock, the former cryptorchid, is officially an honorary laborador retriever. He eats anything and everything, and I thought I'd been good about keeping non-edibles out of the way. But no...

They are indeed, though Mallorn was intact until age two. I got him through a local rescue.

I very much have them separated. I was hoping to be able to introduce them to each other, working up through more time together... 5 minutes, ten minutes, a half-hour, etc... but within seconds he'll attack her. He also did that with one of the hospital blood donor cats... took one look and...

Yes.

I had actually thought of that before... but the moment I go to close the harness around him he starts growling and snarling at me.

He's been indoor only for... 2 1/2 months. -_-

I'm starting to seriously wonder actually if it's because he's being kept indoors. With his previous family, he would only come in for visits because he would spray. He pretty much *lived* outside, was a hunter, and doubtless king of his area as he is a superb fighter. Not a visible scar on him...

I'm starting to worry that I will be unable to keep Mallorn. I've had him for a month and a half now, and have been doing all the suggested methods for introductions. Today was my second attempt at them meeting face to face... I had fancy feast on separate plates like before and the plates about...

He does it when he's awake as well, though he did it for about 10 minutes straight before I posted. It's very much a congested sort of gurgle, yet the vet heard nothing wrong with his lungs, and his x-rays were clear. The only things we've discovered are that not as much air is coming out his...

The kitten, Burdock, has very few issues with the harness. Mostly a case of acting like his entire hind end is useless every now and then. Mallorn on the other hand started growling at me the moment I went to do the chest strap. He was having nothing of it, and I'm going to respect that.... I...

Mallorn is trying to make me broke, I swear. He's now taken up, at random times, making a horrible bubbling/gurgling psuedo-purr as if the dry heaves weren't enough. Is this progressing asthma? Allergies? Should I get him scoped to see if he has a growing polyp? I'm definitely taking him into...
