I’m so wildly stressed about my beloved cat behaving aggressively toward potential future children, it’s honestly starting to take a toll on my mental health. My husband and I are beginning the process of foster parent training, with the eventual goal of adoption. Even if we don’t wind up...

Thank you for this! It's so nice to hear a firsthand account that an FIV positive cat can live a normal life. I am glad your kitty is doing well. :) Now that I'm reading more about it, I'm hoping that his risk of actually having FIV is pretty low, since he's indoor-only. I adopted him from a...

Thank you so much for the link! I did happen across it in my initial Googling, but it was good to look through again. My current vet hasn't recommended any dietary changes, though I've just switched over to her, so I will ask what she thinks on Saturday. His previous vet did recommend bland...

So hopefully this is all just me blowing things out of proportion, but I'm super worried that my cat has FIV. This Saturday, my 3-year-old kitty, Robin Hood, is scheduled to be tested for FIV by the vet. I was shocked to hear that he had never been tested. He's definitely had tons of bloodwork...

On Friday (03/30), I dropped my (almost) 3-year-old kitty at the vet for what was supposed to be a routine dental cleaning (he was starting to develop some gingivitis, but nothing too crazy). Throughout the procedure, the vet called twice, first to say that bloodwork showed Robin Hood's...

Mine is tough to entertain (he only plays with about 3 of his roughly 5 million toys) and is not a fan of boxes. A consistent favorite, though, is his mini tunnel system (this is the one). He loves to lunge at his select favorite toys inside-- sometimes I've seen him purposely sticking a toy...

My kitty was so much like this for probably the first six months I had him! I adopted him when he was a little over a year old and he had tons of energy-- whenever he wanted attention and/or entertainment during the night, he would claw at my hair. Plus for some really dumb reason I chose to...

Okay, you guys are officially awesome. Thank you so much for all this advice, I really appreciate it and feel so much better. Usually I have a spare-no-expense approach to Robin Hood's care (I'm even getting allergy shots so snuggling doesn't give me bizarro rashes), but even I thought this was...

(Sorry for the long post-- the short version is, I'm not sure if I can afford long-term pills for my cat's relatively mild feline hyperesthesia, and am interested to know anyone's experience treating this without medication and/or without going broke. I feel terrible for thinking twice about...

So I have never posted anything here before, but I seriously need some advice. A little under two weeks ago, I adopted an amazing cat (Robin Hood), whom I adore, and am now having severe skin allergic reactions. I have no idea what my options are in terms of controlling all this, or even if I...
