One of the kittens has a problem. It has no opening to poo. I have called my friend that is a vet but is out of state. He said that a procedure could be tried but if it isn't successful, the kitten would need to be put down. So I called both of the local vets, but neither of them are willing...

Here are a few pictures from my yard. It is blooming with color and I couldn't resist sharing with you. Spring has sprung, finally! Hope these brighten someone's day!

One of my books said that kittens eyes open around 3-4 days, but Milo's kittens are a week old yesterday and still no sign of eye opening. They are quite frisky and crawl all over, but they can't see. Is this normal? when can I expect them to open?

OK, I have never done this before so bear with me. Thursday, Milo had her kittens in a cardboard box on the front porch late in the afternoon. As soon as she was done delivering, I moved her/box/kittens into my bedroom. Next day - Friday, I prepared a better box and moved her and kittens into...

Skipping the long story, I have a queen and 6 kittens in my care. The father is tail-less; possibly a manx mix and mother is a regular tabby with a tail to the best of my knowledge. Three of the kittens have tails and three are tail-less. I am worried about those with no tail because I read...

My neighbors cat had kittens on my front porch over the weekend. The neighbor has not been providing adequate care and is absent frequently for long periods of time. Anyway... I put her and the litter in a box with bedding and am keeping her in my bedroom away from my cats for the time being...

This is my first attempt at designing my very own signature.

Hurray! I have my first three TNR kitties at the vet. I was planning on doing four this first time, but one the females would not cooperate and go in the trap. I will just have to keep trying.

Comet, my little rescue kitty, is progressing nicely. His little mangled paw is healing nicely and he is using it for all kinds of things (some he shouldn't ). I don't believe that he will lose it and maybe not even his claw. He still hops but can drag himself up onto the bed. It is kind of...

Midnight has an embarrassing problem that he doesn't want me to deal with, but I feel is important to take care as soon as possible. He is a manx-ish cat with no tail and long fur. His poo keeps getting caught in his fur, building up and blocking his bodily functions. Midnight is a very...

Rescued a another kitty the day after Christmas (late Christmas present ). He was smushed in the middle of the highway (poor baby) and I won't go into all the awful details. I didn't really think that he would make it, but he is improving day by day. Vic named him Comet. He is a black &...

What is the word on sardines? I saw a recipe for kitty treats made from them, but since tuna isn't a good regular staple, I wondered about sardines.

Sorry, I am very uneducated on cat diseases. What are FIV and FeLv? Are they curable? Can they be transmitted to humans? Where do they get this stuff? How can you prevent it? I would really like to know more just in case I ever have to deal with these issues. And I think that some of...

Midnight, the stray that has taken up residency at my house, was covered in frost this morning! I have numerous places for the outside cats to take shelter (barn, two sheds, two unoccupied dog houses, covered two level deck complete with cat boxes and loads of hay, etc) and bed down but he...

I have seen cooked vegetables and raw meat suggested on these forums for a cat's diet. Sadly, I am ignorant of these healthy ways and have been feeding my kitties moist food from cans or packets and dry food. What are some of the best natural foods for kitties?

What does a ringworm look like and how do you treat it? Leighia has a small place on her neck that I thought was just from her and Angel or Pete rough housing, but it isn't clearing up with antibiotic ointment. Mom suggested that she might have a ringworm. Is that sort of thing prevelant in...

Ok, I finally got around to linking some of my kitty pics and here they are. Please, let me know if my link is working properly. I am still trying to figure all this out.

I found poor Paddie in the garden Friday. We had a birthday party for my daughter on Thursday night and I think someone may have inadvertently hit her with a vehicle in the coming and going. Padma was a lovely little calico kitten from our last feral litter. A fiercely independent little...

One of my cats will occassionally really pig out on dry food and then vomit it up. I normally leave dry food out all the time and he usually behaves, but what could be making him go wild and eat the whole bowl full?
