    One eye changed color overnight?

    This is my 16 year old guy. His eyes were fine and both green yesterday. I just noticed one is sort of reddish brown now. It sort of looks bloody inside but the eye boogies are normal for him. No injury, he’s acting normal. I will try to get him in the vet tomorrow but have you ever seen this...

    Tell the story of how your cat joined your family!

    I really wanted a second cat, a boy named Gus after the mouse in Cinderella. My husband didn't, but I knew as soon as I found the right kitty, I'd get him anyway. One weekend I was at petsmart when the local rescues were there. All kittens are adorable, but one caught everyone's attention...

    Can a kitten have down syndrome??

    I think he's going to turn out to be the most beautiful blue cat! I'm glad he's got his mom with him, she will teach him well by example. I'm sure you know, but please get Navi spayed soon. Thor is probably too young now, but soon he will mature and they wouldn't be the first mother/son...

    Uh oh, puppy ate a lizard

    My kids were playing outside with our 5 month old boxer/lab and came running in shouting "skylar ate a lizard!" Blech. As far as I can tell, it was one of those little greenish brown guys that are all over the southern US. A skink maybe? This is really gross, but she was running all over the...

    Typical "pet" kitten prices in the US?

    I paid $900 for my abyssinian in NC, which included her first vet checkup and shots. Then...close to $300 I think for her spay and microchip and rest of her shots. I looked at a few other breeders who charged more but covered sterilization, so the prices were comparable. I went with the...

    How Do I Make My Kittens Eat Wet Food?

    You can add some kmr to the canned to make it a soupy consistency and heat it slightly. Cats are attracted to the smell of food before the taste, so heating releases the scent. Test it before you offer, to be sure it's not too hot. Have you tried a few different brands or flavors? Something...

    Varying Flavors/Varieties of Wet Cat Food

    I usually have a few cases going at once, and rarely feed the same brand or flavor more than two meals in a row.

    Post pics of your babies that have passed so everyone can see their cute lil faces

    My first cat, Willow, crossed the bridge at 10 years old. We spent many years just the two of us. I learned so much from her and she was my sole comfort through so many hard times. She was diagnosed with CRF in September 2011 and we spent a few emotional months trying all the options. I made...

    Behavior of very old cat with kidney failure has changed...is it "time"?

    I knew it was time by the look in her eyes. I firmly believe cats understand what we say to them, so through my tears, I asked her if she wanted to keep fighting or if she was ready to stop. Something in her eyes was very different that day. I could tell she'd had enough and any other...
