Soooo...it's been a year and a half and now, suddenly, Jinx has started the licking again. The last time this happened she quit doing it on her own after about 3 months. She's been doing it again now for almost 2 months but it's SOO much worse this time! I know I'm going to have to take her...

1. I've been feeding her either Iams for hairball/digestive tract health (one of her previous surgeries involved a stuck hairball in her intestines) or a natural version of the same formula, it just depends on if I can get to Petsmart to get the natural one or if I can only get to Publix. 2...

I've come to yall with all of my previous problems with Jinx, and I guess it's time once again to ask some serious advice: My kitty, Jinx, has always been a little OCD about cleaning (she has really long hair, I figure it's normal) but lately (the past 2 months) she's been licking her bum...

Well so far, Jinx has faired well with just a warm wash cloth cleaning her eyes. I guess my biggest concern is that I do nothing at all because I can't go to my regular vet. I'm definitely going to try petmeds and also the pet insurance route. I had heard of it before, but only from my vet...

Hello! So my kitty, Jinx, has all the classic symptoms of conjunctivitis, swollen, kinda goopy & pink inside. The problem is that I have a large debt already at the vet from earlier this year (she had her *SECOND* life saving surgery in 2 years, completely unrelated to the first...oy! But I...

That's an interesting theory! Maybe the humidity or pollen in the air? Because I noticed Jinx has been doing it more since the pollen started covering my porch in yellow. I mentioned it to the vet before, but they said she looked fine and just to keep an eye out if she actually starts chewing...

So my kitty, Jinx, seems to have the most bizarre habits of any cat I know. She is constantly chewing, or what looks like chewing on gum or something. My boyfriend summed it up well when he said she looks like she's a cow or a bunny grazing on grass. But there's nothing in her mouth! At first...

Well thanks goes to y'all. This board the best resource I've ever found for advice and caring people. Update: She got her stitches out today, and her belly looks perfect! One tiny scar, almost like a little flat belly button (*jealous!*). She's back to normal, hyper and playful as always. And...

SO I got to pick up Jinx last night and she was SOOOO happy to see me, she literally jumped INTO the cat carrier (as opposed to usually jumping out of it). She's been the sweetest most loving cat since I got her. Her stitches are scary looking, but as long as she's healing I dont mind. She also...

OK so before I even read y'alls responses, Jinx got very unhappy and wouldnt drink or anything. So I immediately called the vet back and they let me bring her in. The verdict: Although it is extremely rare for a young cat like Jinx to get, she has a "Pyometra". Apprently it occurs usually in...

So my 8 month old kitty Jinx (female) has had one heat (it ended about 2 1/2 weeks ago) and I'm waiting til my next paycheck to be able to get her spayed. The problem here is that yesterday she started acting a bit weird, the only way I can describe it really is that she just wasn't being her...

I had the same thing happen to my Jinx last week and I immediately went to the vet just in case (I've pnly been a cat owner for about 2 months now, these things make me very nervous!) So the vet gave me anti-histamine type medecine but said it wasnt a respiratory infection so just keep an eye...

That whole situation would freak me out TONS because I saw a story (I think it was here in GA) where a kitty was outside in the freezing cold and her paws froze to the super-cold pavement in a parking lot. She had to be thawed off to save her and she had frostbite on her paws which looked...

Oh wow, you got to watch! I would like to be there when my kitty gets spayed, did you just ask to watch or would that be intrusive of me? I'm glad your kitty is all better now though. That was a good catch.

TNR: Well I dont have a harness for her yet, that's just a leash I put on her to let her on the porch because even though I'm 3 stories up, she's still small enough to get through the wooden porch slats. I plan on getting her a harness soon though so she can have a little more freedom. And as...
