    got a foster kitty. need advice!

    This is one finicky boy. He doesnt want anything else but dry food. He is eating some Science Diet and Purina Natural. All the tempting canned foods he ignores. But he is getting enough water and eating more than yesterday. He came out of hiding in response to a toy today. Definitely less worrisome.

    got a foster kitty. need advice!

    Mornin' Happy to report that Timmy drank and used his box last night. He left the closet and now behind the linen shelf. I guess I can let him alone for the next few hours. The next challenge is to find a food he likes. He is very skinny and Id like to get a pound or 2 on him.

    antibiotic and vomiting

    I just got Bunny's amoxicillin this morning for a urinary problem. She took the first dose and was fine until an hour ago. Then she vomited several times, like all her dinner. She is now not hungry for her usual nite snack. Very unlike her. Does anybody know if cats have reactions to...

    training/meowing question

    I guess that someone who isn't a morning person will be annoyed by all the meowing. What my two do is more of a cooperative onslaught. First, Princess comes to my ear and meows. I tell her to "go to sleep." I get to sleep for half hour. Then I get both of them just sitting, right next to my...

    Hissy, thanks. It's a fascinating site and an intriguing product but a bit pricy for me. But there are certainly products out there for everything under the sun!
