2 year update on the cat chat: It seems that he just has a lot to say about everything. I have come to really enjoy anticipating him arriving after hearing the distant inquiring meow as he approaches. He brings me joy and a smile and I just respond, "Yes, my love,hello! I am here. What is...

I have had about ENOUGH of being mauled by one of my two cats ...at that point where I am thinking about having only ONE cat instead. That is a very extreme position for me to take, as I would still take care of an animal that I took on that was a pain in my ass anyway. I am of the mind that...

) Oh yes, THAT was quite the polite commentary... But that might have been one of the first days after we adopted him, and he was only about 10 weeks old. Like I said, the grown up voice is a LOT bigger. But he's quite the character and such a loving little bugger, the purring starts the...

The costs of veterinary care seem to have skyrocketed since I was young, and most things that go wrong are still costing a pretty penny even if they are fairly minor issues that antibiotics can deal with. But insurance costs are steep too, especially with four pets to cover. I was thinking it...

Indeed - the EYES on that one! Such a deep blue! Update on the yowler: Maybe kitty has just been a bit gassy? A concerning bout of retching earlier in the week, repeated again the following evening had me worried I'd be looking at another vet bill, but as a hope it might be something easy...

And yes Phantom was a siamese mix - had the bluest blue eyes I had ever seen and fur softer than a rabbit. Oscar is the siamese in this pair, and really one of the only unusually quiet ones I've met. The Burmese breed shares some siamese lineage, and that could mean sharing that chatty quality...

Here's one for theatre!: We had gone to the vet for something very routine, or perhaps it was a follow up for something that was already dealt with, I don't remember why, only that there was nothing at all wrong with him, and as the place was devoid of other customers at the moment, I had...

Pics of my fur family! I am thinking he might actually be a reincarnation of my dearest Phantom, who was more conversational than complaining and usually very clear in his meaning. Once I was reluctant to get up and open a door to the pantry where his food was, quite certain that it had been...

I have a young kitty, some variety of domestic shorthair tabby mix, who has yowled at me almost constantly since he came home with us in November. If I were to go by tone alone, I feel like he is complaining of something, but not sure what it could be. He is SO talkative that even his photo at...

Thanks - all helpful for some much needed perspective. This is probably really solid advice, though I do check ingredients for protein boosters vs actual meat content as well. It's just I've grown so untrusting of corporate shenanigans, I am paranoid of poisoning my pets. They are my kiddos...

not dying, especially if still eating and drinking. Our favorite vet won us over in the early years after we got a shelter kitty with a uri, and besides the antibiotics meds , he also gave the following information: Generally, cats are enticed to eat by the aroma of a food, so a cat that is...

I am at my wits end trying to figure out what to feed my cats. It seems that for every single claim that some ingredient or other is just AWFUL, there is a counter claim that it is just fine. For every ratings site that evaluates some brands as high quality, there is at least one that puts...
