Our cat Lucy is 14 and has had regular healthy checkups. Last summer we noticed she was having trouble holding food in her mouth when she ate, so we brought her to the vet who found she had broken her lower jaw. We think she was running around and ran into something. She plays hard for a cat her...

Our oldest girl, Gertrude (in my photo), is not doing well. She is nearly 18 and has multiple issues. She's been in kidney failure for a few years and we give her subQ nightly. Her levels have slowly creeped up but we haven't checked her blood in about 6 months. She also has chronic allergies...

My darling Maggie (the cat in my profile photo) just turned 17. She's been holding steady with CKD for 2 years. She gets fluids every night and her kidney values have largely stayed the same. She is on prednisolone every other day (low dose) for her allergies-- she's always stuffed up and...

There is a feral cat outside that we feed (we also got her fixed) always hangs around our yard during the day and eats throughout the day. She's probably 8-9 years old and we've been feeding her for 7+ years. She hangs out near us in the yard and "talks" to us but we can't touch her, even after...

We have a bind cat who is a rescue. She showed up in our backyard with kittens 7 years ago. She's probably 9-11 years old and feral and only in the last few years has she let us touch her and spends more time hanging out with us. She had some dental issues a few years back and we had those taken...

Our cat Harry loves eating rubber-- like actually eating it. A few years back we had a couple of those rubber cat balls (the ones that come in assorted toy packs) and he ate one and threw it up in pieces. I had to dig threw the garbage to make sure we had all the pieces and nothing was left...

This is the LAST thing we needed right now-- both in terms of logistics (holiday weekend, massive winter storm coming, vet is closed after today), and financially (we had 2 cats need surgeries this year that tapped us out). Our cat Sam is blocking again (the last time was right before...

Our kooky calico cat, Maggie, was a stray 7 years ago when jumped into our car when we were doing some TNR trapping in her neighborhood and came home with us. She's such a sweetie and so happy to have a home with us. For 5 or so years she's dealt with recurring ear polyps and infections. That...

My cat Fox (Foxy Loxy lol) is 6 and has always been extremely shy and skittish. Like if someone comes to visit, he hides and then remains hidden for HOURS after they're gone. When my Mom visited and stayed for a weekend he did not eat for a whole day bc he was too scared to come out. Then he'd...

We have a very difficult cat. He was feral and still, after years, does not let us touch him, although he is very comfortable and happy living here and is very affectionate with our other cats. 3 years ago he had a penis plug (from debris in his urine) and blocked and had to be catheterized...

I was petting our cat Rose and noticed a small bump on her back. I thought it was some clumped-together hair, so felt it a bit and at first thought it was like a sticker stuck to her skin. About the size of a quarter and lifting off around the edges. I don't want to pull it off bc it looks like...

Our Pumpkin had emergency bladder surgery last Monday-- she had a bladder full of stones! We brought her home on Wednesday with just a soft donut around her neck to keep her from biting her stitches/staples. It took her less than a day to rip out two staples, and the incision began opening. We...

We live on the edge of a wooded area in a suburb and we care for 2 stay cats. Both are fixed and we've been feeding them for years. We have always had a lot of suburban wide life (foxes, raccoons, deer, and even the occasional bear), so we NEVER leave food out at night so as not to attract...

Our Rose (yes, named after the Golden Girls) is 17 and has been in the early stages of kidney failure for over a year. Her kidney numbers are stable (we give her fluids every night) and her appetite has been great. But the last few weeks we noticed her getting pickier about food so we brought...

I have a large jar for my cats' dry food. I just noticed near the bottom of it there is an inch-sized chunk missing, and inside the bottom of the jar (with the crumbs that settle at the bottom) there were some shards of glass! I have NO idea how the break happened. There were a couple of...

Our Gracie was battling upper respiratory infections for a couple of months-- tried a couple of different antibiotics and the infection came back even worse a couple of weeks ago (she's 12). She developed severe congestion and stopped eating. Then she developed Horner's Syndrome. We took her to...

Our cat Grace has had an upper respiratory infection on and off for the past 2 months. She was on 2 rounds of antibiotics for it that seemed to help (coughing cleared up), but then this month it got worse-- 3rd eyelid showing, goopy eyes, sounds congested, and has goopy ears. We took her to the...

Our blind cat was fine this morning, but then when went to walk to her food bowl for breakfast I noticed that she was unsteady on her feet and falling over a bit. No other sign of illness or pain. I scooped her right up and took her to our vet. She was perky in the car and seems fine other than...

Our indoor cat Fozzie got our a broken screen and spent 19 horrible days hiding outside before he came back in. During that time, he got attacked by the one tom cat we have in our neighborhood (it's a pretty rural area, and we've got the other cat who is around fixed, but this guy had been...

Our girl has had bloodwork recently (3 months ago) and for the past month has been dealing with an upper respiratory infection. We had her on orbax for it as she sounded congested and coughing, and the cough went away. She still sounds stuffed up, though. And her eyes have been a bit leaky and...
