OK guys, I'm getting desperate.  I'd really like some advice from the experienced.  My apologies for the length of this, but I think it's important you know the whole timeline up until now. My old grumpy guy, who is now 13, apparently had a spell of either severe constipation or GI obstruction...

One of my outside dumped kitties that had a litter of kittens last year (she showed up heavily pregnant) finally let me get her and take her in for a spay.  She was spayed yesterday, and the plan was for them to keep her until Monday evening so she has a while to rest and heal.  A few minutes...

I recently purchase a new automatic cat toy that was a huge hit, but it isn't anywhere in the "items" list, could someone add it for me?  It is the Frolicat Flik Interactive Toy.  I see them also shown online as the Petsafe Flik, so I'm not sure which company brand they are actually putting it...

I FINALLY found a better food that my picky-passive-aggressive cat will eat.  He has been really under the weather with allergies, and vomiting and hacking a lot because he is licking and licking, so I bought a bag of the RC dry Special 33.  He loves it.  I also picked up a bag of the Mature 27...

This....has been a sad morning.  One of the feral kittens out of the batch the two dumped pregnant momcats took a ride on the frame of my car this morning (after many precautions taken to keep them out from under our vehicles).  I got about 2 miles down the road, turned right at a red light onto...

Over the weekend Wurp had an extreme exacerbation of his allergies.  It's all my fault, I wasn't on top of the game this fall.  He takes his Zyrtec (been on it forever) for seasonal allergies, Pepcid 1/4 tab when he has GI upset related to all this, and I have a spray for his itchy spots, ear...

I have a sweetheart of a mama and six 3-4 week old kittens that have been dumped at my home.  I have a foster to take them all, BUT...we have only captured 4 of the 6 kittens.  I've never seen anything like it, we have tried for, well, this is the 3rd day.  I can't hand them off to the foster...

Ok, I'm sure you have all seen my struggles over the past 7 months (well, almost 7, will be 7 on 9/5) with trying to introduce Shortstack (former feral, about 2 yrs old) into my household with Wurp, my 12 year old cranky butt.  This is long--please bear with me--I need your opinions at the end...

I had to take my old dude in to the vet yesterday for an ear infection.  While we were there, I once again brought up my concerns about him drinking so much water, and peeing like a cow (volume, not frequency).  As the old saying goes, it sounds like a cow peeing on a flat rock when he gets in...

Ok, I know this is a stinky subject, but.......and no pun intended..... My big baby Shortstack loves nothing better than for me to carry him around (constantly).  As I've said before, if I could find one to fit him I would get a baby Snuggli, cut a hole for his tail, and strap him to me.  I...

My old grumpy stubborn dude is at the point now of only eating the FF classic pates.  I mainly give him the turkey and giblets and the beef, occasionally the cod, sole, and shrimp and the shrimp and salmon varieties because he would sell his body parts for anything fish.  Other than me cooking...

I searched but didn't see anything in the other threads, and I want a water fountain for mine badly because I don't think he gets enough water.  I have one who is a big dry eater that will go passive-aggressive and refuse to eat altogether if he doesn't have some dry.  I give him wet just like...

I took my 12 year old Wurp to our usual vet not long ago--thread on this here (and I hope I put this link in the right way!)  They told me he had not lost weight and couldn't find anything wrong.  http://www.thecatsite.com/t/316451/aging-kitty-question However, this past week he has vomited...

I'm not really familiar with the aging process on cats and was wondering if any of you could give me some ease of mind about Wurp, my 12 year old.  My other two big indoor babies (not our barn cats) passed early in life, one to kidney disease and one passed in our house fire in 1994, so any and...

I decided to start a new thread, since this is getting to be an urgent matter.  Here goes! I'll try to be short and sweet. My newbie cat (you can find my other threads relating to my journey!) Shortstack is getting comfortable living inside.  We are still site swapping, as Wurp still doesn't...

I have a young, very petite feral kitty I call Tina (very young) that I feed along with my other transients, who, if they decide to become regulars, I try to TNR.  Most of the males that lurk around my yard and shed have been neutered over the past few years, and I have only had one female I've...

My newbie to the indoor life kitty Shortstack has been such a snuggle bug and settling in to the good life, when this evening I was sitting with him across my lap (his usual spot) and I was watching a cat video on my phone on facebook (like any of us ever do that!  ) It was a video of a cat...

Hello, I'm a newbie and in need of help.  I am experienced with cats, but this situation has me grasping at straws.  I need serious advice! This may be long-winded, but to help you understand the personality I'm dealing with I have to give you some backstory.  I have an 11 year old neutered...
