Hi everyone .. Last year in August/September I posted about my 8 year old male orange tabby Baby Kitty who went through a long bout of vomiting that neither he nor I could get under control. He went for about one week of going to the vet, being given shots to calm his tummy along with several...

I remember about two weeks after I moved in with my then-boyfriend we were talking about something that triggered him to say "I won't tell you how to take care of your pets and you don't tell me how to take care of mine". It caught me totally off guard as we were not even trading commentary on...

I guess in some ways it was meant to be that your sister feels the way she does. Otherwise you wouldn't have Pixie now. Indeed, it is her loss but it is also your gain I let Baby Kitty on my bed and furniture. The fur can be frustrating when he sheds a lot (which is practically year-round) but...

You may indeed say that you are glad My ex has been here for me, I will give him this. Taking me to the vet clinic when he doesn't have to now that we are broken up (but still friends of course). And I do appreciate this from him and have told him as much .. but his ways of justifying things...

So far Baby Kitty is doing wonderful. Thank you and everyone else here who have sent well wishes. It's times like these when the internet can be most valuable. Receiving support when it is much needed. Oh you about made me cry! I long for a partner who would go the extra mile like your husband...

When I grew up my dad was a nightmare towards my cats. He did not believe in vet care whatsoever. When our outdoor cats got out of control in numbers he would round a batch up, put them in the trunk of his car and dump them on a dirt road (usually when I was at school or crying in my bedroom). I...

Thank you for responding And for the well wishes. Baby Kitty is getting better. yAy! And at least Sammy is no longer in pain, that's how I try to manage the loss. It's a small comfort but it's the most important thing. I have always felt bad when I would go out even for the evening leaving my...

It is difficult to be around someone who cannot even understand that bonds with animals are meaningful and important. Thank you for your response. At least I know I am in good company here.

Hi everyone .. I hope I have picked the best place to vent about this. I need to get this off my mind and I know most of you, if not all, will understand where I am coming from. I apologize in advance for the long post. I just got home from the vet's office. Last week my 19 year old cat Sammy...

I had to have my 19 year old *daughter* Sammy put to sleep this morning. Her body was slowly giving out and I could tell she has been struggling to feel well for several months. But feeding time always made her very happy, so I tried to hold out and let her tell me when the right time would...

You know, 3cc's twice a day does seem like a lot for a cat. His backside fur is "wet" in appearance from where he has been grooming himself and got the oil seepage worked into the fur. Apparently the mineral oil has done a real number on him. I am thinking the vet just wanted to get Baby Kitty...

Thank you all so very much for your comments, information, thoughts and prayers. This ordeal, with both of my cats, has drained me of my sanity and peace of mind. I have had Baby Kitty home for about 48 hours now, no vomiting. The mineral oil the vet gave him has at least temporarily helped...

I feel worn out just reading what all you've been going through I once had a cat that gave me quite a few problems. Unpredictable daily vomiting, diarrhea, tracking the poop onto my bed, throwing up on and just enough over the edge of the bed to trickle down the side, behavioral oddities, etc...

Sammy has always been a very gentle cat. The most harm she ever caused me was when she would lick one spot on my arm for so long that it became raw to the (tongue)touch. I tried to get her to play rough with me when she was younger but she never saw the sense in it. Baby Kitty, however, bit me...

I'm not sure why your kitty is moody but one of my cat's is a very moody one. He has more attitude, mood swings and grumpiness than I can keep up with. Almost reminds me of PMS. He uses his tail to express his million and one mood swings more than any cat I have ever come across. Very expressive...

The vet decided to keep Baby Kitty overnight yesterday. She ran an x-ray and found nothing alarming but wanted to try and get his tummy calmed down. I called this morning. He had not vomited since being at the clinic. She says sometimes nerves override nausea when a cat is that scared (and Baby...
