My cat is now 2 years old. I took her to the vet today, and she had a bit of a temperature, and her nose was clogged up. Everything else checked out ok. It will be interesting to see how she reacts to another storm though, because she just hasn't done that before! I still think she got herself...

My cat was left home alone during a bad hail storm that we had recently, because I was at work. She threw up by the window she usually sits at, so I'm sure the lighning and thunder scared her, and has not gotten over throwing up since then. I've read online about cats and phobias with storms...

That's a good idea! I didn't think of using one of those big bottomed covered cups! I need to try that! Thanks! Oh and mine will try and drink everything. I have learned to keep the cup close to me on an end table for a reason. She will try to get up on the end table though and drink from...

I have a funny story to tell. We had some outside cats growing up. And one of them happened to jump on my mom's car when she opened up the garage to go to work one morning. I guess she didn't know that cats did that, and/or didn't pay attention to the cat at all, when she started to drive...

What a great welcome! Thank you everyone! She's an American Shorthair, or to me she really looks more like a Bombay cat. She's got a beautiful black coat with green eyes! I'll post photos as soon as I can. I just have eveything packed up since I'm moving shortly.

Thanks everyone! She is just fine. Back to her normal self. I am going to get pet insurance though. I didn't realize how expensive the visits would cost! I mean, I've been to the vet before, but still. I can see that it's going to be costly! And I'm sure that I'll probably need it as she...

My cat is just over a year old. She loves to sit on laps. It doesn't matter who it is. I did read where cats don't like their stomachs to be touched. Mine doesn't care either way. The only problem with my cat is that she doesn't want to have someone pet her all of the time, or she'll turn...

Thanks everyone! I managed to read a few posts the other day. I just loved reading some of the cute stories that were mentioned on this forum as I can relate to them now lol! I can't wait to read more!

Well, ok not so new. I have owned outside cats before. However, this cat is special. My brother and I went to Pet Smart to look for something for my sister when we decided to look at the cat cages. I wasn't even looking at this particular cat, when all of the sudden, I felt a little arm hit...

Thank you. I read about fractures online too. Either way, it's going to be expensive I bet. I think I'm going to take her in tomorrow. It's on my way to work either way. I'm not sure what to say even at this point since she seems ok, but it's better to be safe than sorry like what you said...

Hi everyone! Well, I'm new here, and I feel horrible. My cat and I were playing. She moved rather quickly, and I noticed that she started to have problems with her back leg. I stopped playing with her, and she wouldn't let me touch he leg for awhile. She would cry even. However, she...
