    1 year old kitten has peed laying down since I adopted her

    It's been a little while since I last posted here. But I'm back! I really did figure I'd end up having to come back to ask this question, as my caliby, Keaton, was already doing this when I first got her a year ago. But, she has this tendency to lay down when she pees. She never pees on...

    Freeze dried liver safety? (and other freeze dried advice?)

    I recently started getting my kittens more proteins to try, and recently picked up some freeze dried turkey liver. However, I do know that there's potential for issues concerning the high levels of vitamin A. In that case, is this something that shouldn't be fed on a regular basis? If so...

    11 day post spay surgery question on activity

    I had hoped to have my two kittens spayed at the same vet, but that didn't work out. So I'm back asking additional questions about activity level with my second kitten, Keaton, who went home with physical stitches rather than glue like my first. I have kept her pretty inactive with the help of...

    Huge purple stitch sticking out 15 days after spay?

    It has been quite an adventure dealing with two kittens that both had their spay relatively close together. Especially considering they were both done by different vets and had their incisions closed differently. One was closed with glue and the other one with sutures. The little girl who got...

    Zorbium! How can I stop the effects?

    Why oh why did I not Google this when the vet decided to offer this. Went to yet another spay surgery where I was not given pain meds. Went to the local one that for some reason gave me zorbium over the Buprene that I requested. I didn't check and now my extremely hyper kitten is off the walls...

    Calico tabby?

    As a former horse girl I'm obsessed with knowing correct coat patterns, so I had to make a new post for my girl Keaton too see what her coat is considered. I'm sorry if this is a dumb question, but I've had a few varying opinions. I've even read somewhere that if a cat has Tabby markings at all...

    Returning to normal activity: incision days vs appearance?

    Throwing out yet another spay thread, it seems I'm in similar company of cat parents going through this though! It's about day 8 of the healing for my little girl. And questions on her returning to normal activity is now starting to pop up as she has become increasingly more mobile and hard to...

    What kind of tabby? Cinnamon maybe?

    Everywhere I go I get, "oh my gosh, she's so pretty, what kind of coat is that?" And I never have an answer. I've done enough research now to tentatively say cinnamon agouti tabby, but I'm no expert. She has a real cool mix of darker stripes, tan and even reddish orange, which makes me wonder if...

    Spay site lump?

    My dear Kaiya's been just spayed almost 2 days ago now and I've been watching her wound since. And noticed a worrisome bump on the spay incision site since she came home that I just wanted a few other eyes on since I know so many have experience with spays. Is this normal? She's eating as usual...

    What pain meds should I get for my kitten's spay discomfort?

    Hi again! Totally appreciating all this amazing help so far. The vets have sadly not been the most helpful during all this. So my littlest girl, Kaiya, just got her spay yesterday, I made another post about it yesterday because they had told us she would be sent home with some fentanyl patch...

    Nobivac given without being asked at spay appointment..

    It seems I'm back again. I realize I've been posting so much here lately, and I appreciate the patience over my anxiety. I also really appreciate the helpful answers that I continue to get. I am definitely a little upset about this, but my partner went to pick up our 6-month-old from getting...

    Fentanyl patch for kitten after spay?

    I've heard a lot of negative things about this drug and was surprised when the vet said they would send my 6mo old home with the patch after get spay appointment today. I've never heard of it until now. Just checking how normal this is, and if anyone knows how safe it is. TIA

    3rd vaccine never mentioned by vet, kittens are now late for it. Advice

    I'm so very stressed about this, but I just found out today while trying to arrange spaying for my two female kittens that they require a third vaccine shot, and absolutely no one told me until today. It makes no sense that neither of the vets I went to mentioned it to me, nor did any of them...

    3 mo old with liquid diarrhea and slime?

    I adopted this cutie about two weeks ago now, when she came to me she had normal poops, however I believe a much too fast diet change messed her up as she quickly started getting diarrhea. It got better for a little, but after a long day traveling for her sisters vet visit, it started up again...

    Horribly bloated shelter kitten from neglectful diet. Need all the help I can get.

    Hello there! I just adopted two shelter kittens (my heart kitty passed in 2020 at 17 years of age, took a while to feel ready again). Both are for completely different shelters. One is doing amazing, but unfortunately the other one that we have, seems to be having some issues with bloating...
