One more thing - he did seem to get a bit more cranked up after he ate his wet food - I only mixed in about a tbsp with his dry - it was Wellness. I don't know for a fact, but I'll monitor it for awhile. Maybe he was getting too many vitamins? Or, maybe he's just a happy cat!

Thanks! I think this sums it all up pretty well. I did go out and buy him a da bird like toy (they only had a knock-off that attached to the fridge with a suction cup) and one of those round deals with the trapped ball for him to chase around. It's been two nights and he's much easier to have...

We "saved" a stray and, while doing so, investigated alot of different kitty food choices. After being on the higher quality food for a couple of months her coat was completely restored - unbelievable. It was brown, white and almost black with some silvery hairs. It ended up being a beautiful...

Thank you all for your responses - they all seem quite valid. Another thought occurred to me. They stated that he was the quiet one of the bunch and actually had thought to give him to us because of his docile, loving personality (we were originally thinking of getting a ragdoll). They...

Hi all, We just got a two-month old male kitten 1 1/2 weeks ago. He had been living with his 4 brothers and sisters until we brought him home. The first several days his behavior was similar to that reported by his previous home - he was docile, loved to be held, relaxed in your arms, etc...

Took kitty to get spayed today. We had been treating here for almost three months for mites and worms having given her last treatment one week ago. The vet ran blood work prior to the spaying and told us that her ALT was about 374 and she didn't want to risk the surgery. This little girl was...

We had something that sounds similar. We adopted a stray. Everyone in the family got dots or bumps. I got it the worst - chest, tummy, frontal thighs. They were itchy and kinda - I dunno - oozy? Anyhow, they weren't going away and they kept coming. The vet said it sounded like mites...

Hmmm I thought Evo was high in Omega 3s... As we spend a lot of time petting our kitty, I've been looking forward to the time when her coat will be silky and full (she was a malnourished stray only a few weeks back). I'm looking for the "healthiest" food for her and something that would...

Well, it turns out she is now (once again according to the vet) not pregnant. We don't know what 5 lumps were felt previously or if she was pregnant and lost them or ... no signs of any kitties anywhere in the house. So, she's once again exhibiting these behaviors 3 weeks later and we...

Well, even though the vet told us our skinny stray was 5 weeks pregnant, now 6 weeks later she isn't. When I was curious about her odd behaviors about 3 weeks ago - I think now she was in heat. She's exhibiting those behaviors again. We took her to the vet to see if she had mites - we think...

I've been reading and analyzing cat food labels trying to find the best food for my new jr. cat. She was an underweight 1-1 1/2 yr old stray and I'm trying my best to get her to her peak health. I thought I'd share something that I found. I can't attest to the validity of all of the...

This has been a pretty stressful weekend. Nothing happening on the kitten front. Been wondering if she lost them somehow along the way and now she's in heat ?????? Some of these are heat symptoms, right ????? butt up in the air and crouched down in front, tail raised towards the base and...

Any updates???? Just wondering how everything has turned out. Hope all is well....

Nothing new to report - a few repeat behaviors today.... Vet says it's very close. She implied that all signs I described earlier were pointing to birth be imminent. With a low-weight, previously malnourished stray cat (she did gain over a pound in the last 4 weeks!), though, I'm still...

She should be delivering any time now, should I be feeling them move? I'm getting pretty wound up, I guess. My 4 year old is wanting as much attention as the cat. So, son is winning out right now (well, sort of - I guess I'm on my laptop asking questions and worrying about Heidi) because...

I'm so sorry to hear that. Unfortunately, I have no advice - a newbie waiting for our kittens (don't know if they're alive either as she was a malnourished stray) I would call the vet's office and seek some advice... Can you call a friend or family member to watch your kids???? Good luck!

Any news yet? I think we are in the same basket. Our pregnant kitty woke us up at 5:15 am with a lot of meowing. It's 5:38 now - she's licking and eating, cuddling, and that's about it! I was out of town, but I think she just started dripping yesterday. This sure is exciting! Has yours...

Thanks ! I guess I won't plan on pulling an all-nighter then!! Most of the weird behaviors have stopped now She is quietly perching on a towel next to me on the floor. She did eat a good amount and was grooming quite heavily. Now, she's just hanging out! She still doesn't look pregnant...

Yes - she is dripping clear liquid from her bottom. I forgot to mention that she doesn't seem to want to sit down... But, she's liking to be rubbed

So, Heidi (the skin and bones pregnant year old stray that adopted us) is behaving oddly. According to the vet, this 5.25 lb marvel should be going into labor (or not) any time now. I just returned from a business trip tonight and learned from hubby that Heidi has been doing some new things...
