Hi everyone! Today my girl Schne just vomited a pretty long furball along with some thick dark brown liquid. It didn't have a strong smell or anything, but it did *look* like poo! I've never seen this before. Schne is acting fine, eating and drinking okay both before and after the vomit. She...

Thanks all, I sure hope so! Cats can be such strange lil things sometimes lol :lol2:

Hello! As of late, my lil girl has suddenly decided to be sleeping under the bed, which has, up to this point, never happened before. I usually bring her into the room at night, where she'd sleep on either the desk or chair right next to my bed (before she eventually goes out of the room to...

Thanks everyone for the replies! I wonder what she might be feeling insecure about.. she does it quite frequently too. I'm just glad she's not feeling sick or anything, phew~

Hi everyone! Just noticed my cat was lying down in a weird position, and was wondering if it was normal. Her hind legs are tucked like in a loaf position, but she stretches out her head and rests her chin on the ground. She does this quite often while resting, or like when she's bored - doesn't...

Just got back from the vet today! Doctor said it's just the beginning of a cold, since the AC is usually turned on in the house, and the stress from the shave made her immune system a little lower. No medications, just given some vitamin C to help boost her immunity. Her temp today was 99 F...

Her eating drinking is fine, she's still her usual playful self in the morning. I don't think she's ingested anything toxic, at least not that I can speculate. It's just when she's lying down, in rest mode, that her head will shake/jerk. It's kind of like she's shivering. Her nose seems to have...

My persian cat Schne's fur was matted pretty badly and was also shedding a lot, causing her to eat/lick up her own fur while she was grooming. Because of that, I noticed she had puked a hairball, and a few days later dry heaved (attempted to expel more hairballs, but couldn't?). So we decided to...

Good news! Went to another vet to get the lump checked, and this time they did a needle aspiration. Nothing came out of it when it was punctured, nor found under the microscope. Doctor said it was all fat only, so we just have to keep monitoring the lump. Thank you everyone for the support and...

That is so sad. :( domesticated cats really do require all the extra care and protection :(

That's very true. I was always worried about my cat falling from high places (like the stairs), but never thought it might do much damage at lower heights as well. I'm trying to make sure there's a soft landing near wherever tall areas my cat might climb onto. So worrysome these lil kitties are...

She doesn't seem to be any pain at all, still jumping over everything just fine, with no hiding/cowering behaviors. She's eating well and playing too so I don't think it's a broken bone. We visited the vet and she passed it off as a swollen lymph node. Still not 100% on that (could be hematoma...

I've gone to the vet already, but the doctor doesn't seem to think the high calcium and lump is related. She seems to think it's nothing particularly dangerous, and diagnosed it as just a swollen lymph node due to the fall. She didn't do any thorough checks (no xray, biopsy or needle aspiration)...

Yeah I've been thinking the rash and the lump were likely related. Thank you for the insight on the calcium thing, though it worries me, at least I have some idea. I'm really hoping my girl's okay. Will definitely be asking for a xray asap. :(

Today I noticed a lump about an inch in length (bean/oval shaped) on the thigh of my cat's left leg. I discovered this after she had fallen off the piano (about 3 feet up) while she was rolling in her sleep. As I palpated her, trying to make sure she was okay, I found the lump. It's quite solid...
