    Adopting A 7 Year Old

    Romeo is adjusting slowly. We had to give him calming treats last night. He needs to be given a few days and then let’s see what happens.

    Any uusual Stories or signs that gave you comfort?

    I teach at colleges and one of my former adult students (ten years ago), a level headed talented student, told the class he and his family occasionally see a cat in spirit form. I contacted him last week and he told me he and his family have since moved, but still see the cat. Our loved pets do...

    Adopting A 7 Year Old

    Romeo is now in our home. He spent his first night with us last night. He meowed throughout the night as he wonders around his new home. Today he is meowing a lot too. He was at the vet before we brought him home and he’s being well fed and has water, so is this normal? Maybe he’s under stress...

    Adopting A 7 Year Old

    I would never declaw an adult cat. That’s not an option. Many have had luck with them, so I will keep them clipped and try the covers.

    Adopting A 7 Year Old

    My only concern is our 92 year old mom. She has such thin skin that she can’t afford a cat scratch.

    Adopting A 7 Year Old

    Thanks much. It seems many have good luck with them, based on Amazon reviews, but I never heard of the CLS (Cleat Lock System) type.

    Adopting A 7 Year Old

    We had to let Chappie pass over on Tuesday night after battling stage four kidney failure. It has been a crying time around here. Last night my wife and I decided to adopt a 7 year old cat we saw at PetSmart, named Romeo. They are doing the paperwork now and we may get him in several days. I...

    Let this thread be a comfort to all of us who have lost a fur baby. We will see our kitties again, but until that day, they are happy and not in any discomfort whatsoever.

    Absolutely. There are horses, for example, in heaven. Christ, the Bible says, will ride on the back of one when he returns!

    Chaplin passed over Tuesday night. The fact that I know he’s frolicking around in a far better place, free from his kidney failure suffering, helps me a lot. These true events depicted in this thread....let them comfort you as well. I’m sure some of you can add newer ones. :)

    Cat Extremely Thirsty, Sick In Stomach.

    Update after Chappie’s second night in ER for IV fluids.... The weekend vet said Chappie is doing good. He was brutally honest with me, though. When Chappie was brought in his creatinine was. 9.0. After one night in came down to an 8. Now the vet tells me it’s only at a 7. The vet said I think...

    Cat Extremely Thirsty, Sick In Stomach.

    Update: The vet phoned and said Chappie has improved since the IV fluids. He had an appetite, ate a lot and didn’t throw up. She did say, though, that he has bad kidney disease :( . When he came in his creatinine was 9.0 but since fluids he is at 7.5, and they want to see if one more night in...

    Cat Extremely Thirsty, Sick In Stomach.

    Thank you much. Should I ask for 20 gage needles? The smaller the better? I see where B vitamins, B-12 is important. Do any of you get the liquid kind and just put a few drops in the cat’s water dish? Chappie spent the night at the ER facility, getting IV fluids. I’m waiting for a 10 a.m...

    Cat Extremely Thirsty, Sick In Stomach.

    Do you use prescription food or over the counter? Did your vet give your cat meds? And how many times do you have to give your cat fluids at home? I guess I’ll find out those answers today when I speak with the local vet, after he’s done at the hospital.
