Thank you so much, everyone, for your wonderful kindness and sympathy. I am gradually getting used to the idea that my two 'lovies' are not around anymore, but it is still a really 'hard call'. Again, heartfelt thanks! Hugs, Christine

I am so, so sorry for your loss. I just lost two beloved cats within a week which is really difficult to take, so I can relate very well to what you are going through now. Blessings to you and your mum. Christine

Hi dear friends of 'furkids' This has been an awful week! Just lost 'Rusty' a week ago today and this morning I received a phone call from a friend of mine to say that another of my favorite kitties had passed away last night. 'Little Bear' was not owned by me, but was a special sweetheart of...

Know that all of you here will relate to this sad story. I brought 'Rusty' home a few years ago. He had been abandoned by a neighbour in the country and had been out all one winter. He quickly adjusted to our home and the other three cats we had at that time. About two weeks ago, he did not...

Hello Everyone! Two or three weeks ago I wrote about my little cat 'Spunky' having a 'smelly' ear. I did take her to the vets and she definitely had a bad ear infection. She was treated with peroxide and an antibiotic for two weeks. When I took her for her check-up last Friday, the vet...

When I moved into a smaller house a couple of years ago, I almost went mad with fleas. My three cats had them and I was full of flea bites. (They preferred me to the cats To make a long story short, the folks who owned the house before me had both a dog and a cat. I bought a can of...

Wonderful to hear that your kitty is feeling so much better. Was wondering if perhaps the 'Advantage' might have upset him as he was in such poor shape to begin with. I use it on my cats and they are O.K., but think some cats can be allergic to it. Please keep us posted on your kitty's...

Hi everyone! Just a quick update on Spunky. I've been doing the peroxide/antibiotic treatment twice a day and her ear infection seems to be clearing up. No more horrible odor! She also doesn't seem to mind the peroxide anymore, so I take it it no longer stings when applied. She goes for a...

Hello everyone! Took 'Spunky' to the vet's yesterday. Turns out she has a really bad ear infection. She cleaned out Spunky's ear with peroxide and applied some drops called 'Surolan'. I have to clean out her ear with peroxide and apply drops twice a day for two weeks. I have to wait...

Thanks you all so very much for your thoughts and advice. Spunky does not go out although I have two others that do go out for brief periods. I am taking your advice and will be making an appointment with my vet ASAP. Spunky does not seem to be in any distress (thankfully), but as you all...

Hi everyone! My little cat, 'Spunky' was lying beside me on the bed a couple of days ago and I noticed a strong, bad smell coming from her. I looked her over and when I checked her ears, I realized the odor was coming from her right ear. The left ear is perfectly O.K. There doesn't seem to...

Dear cat lovers! My friend has had a lovely stray for about fifteen years. 'Little Bear' has very silky, fine fur. When he first arrived as a stray (15 yrs. ago), it took me a couple of weeks clipping away with a pair of manicure scissors to finally get him free of mats. He must have been...

Hi Kailie! Just read about Arden. Sorry that the adoption did not work out, but if the prospective adopter changed his mind, then he was not the most responsible person for Arden. I am sure that a good home is out there somewhere for her. During the last year I have found good homes for 2...

That is so fantastic! She is such an amazing kitty and also amazing that she knew right where to go to get 'home'. Animals are so much smarter than a lot of humans give them credit for. Best of good luck to you and to 'kitty' in your new home! Christine

Hello again! -- Just read some of the more recent posts and am thrilled that your kitty is O.K. Best of luck and bless you for taking him in! Christine

Hope your kitty will be O.K. My neighbor has an eleven year old cat who has epilepsy. When she has seizures she loses all control. She reacts pretty much the same way as you have described. The vet has prescribed pills for her and with the pills she hasn't had any more seizures. This is...

Hi KRZ! I certainly hope so! I told him on the phone that Felix doesn't like to be outside for more than a few minutes at a time (after having to live outside for who knows how long!). Also, as he is new to Doug's house, he should make sure Felix knows his territory. Think Doug will listen...

Hello all! WONDERFUL NEWS!!!! About a half hour ago I received a call from Doug. It was just getting dusk and he looked out of the window and there was 'Felix' sitting there! He couldn't believe it! I was sure, knowing how Felix doesn't like being out in the daytime, that he would find some...

Thank you so much, Otto, Blueyedgirl and KRZ for the encouragement! I am hoping that once it gets dark, he might show up either at Doug's place or here. He has been around here for five months, so he has his smell in the yard. Jean, my next door neighbour has hens, ducks, a pet Canada goose...

Hi everyone! Last fall I gave a home to a beautiful Maine Coon whom I named 'Felix'. He ran up to me one day and plunged into some cat food I had put out for a stray I was feeding. The next morning I saw he was in the little insulated cat house I had on the veranda. He had obviously been...
