I'm a bit depressed because my Tom has been trying to avoid me.
(He's been sick with kidney issues, urine blockage...)
Could it be because he thinks I am going to give him meds again?
I gave him his last pill on Tuesday.
I try to pet him and he walks away. He only likes to play with my mom!
He...
I think that Tom is doing well. He had the urinary blockage and the beginning of kidney disease.
He is running around outside with Mixy, getting on top of the roof and meowing for food.
I had to take him for a check up but right now, I can't afford it.
I still owe $1,200 for his recent treatment...
Since Tom wasn't eating the prescribed KD food, I bought him Friskies Special Diet for cats with urinary tract infection.
Is that safe?
At least he is eating that.
I do mix in some of the dry KD food but he eats around it.
By the way, Mr. Tom gave me a scare today.
I took him outside for a bit...
Some of you may know of my Tom's recent problems with his kindeys.
Unfortunately, I've been suffering from depression and anxiety since 2001, when I lost my first cat Tabby after 16 years.
Right now, I am overwhelmed with Tom's illness
I actually get sick to my stomach worrying about him day...
Is he safe if he goes outside but I only give him his diet food?
I feel terrible that he has to stay in the garage which will get hot pretty soon.
If he were to be left outside, would the chances of surival be the same?
My problem is that I have Cronic Depression and anxiety. I am under...
He was well enough to be sent home today.
He is eating, drinking water and peeing,
The one thing that seems odd to me is that he is lying inside the litter box.
What can cause this? Is it because he got used to sleeping near the litter box inside the cage at the hospital?
Is there anything...
Again, I am worried that because of his kidney problems, Tom will have to be indoors. Would getting a harness be a good idea so he won't leave the backyard so that he can be outside from time to time?
Of course, I'd make sure that no other food, other than his diet food be close enough.
If I do...
I am very nervous and anxious because when My Tom comes home from the urinary blockage and now begining of kidney problems, he will have to be an inside cat.
He's been an outdoor cat all his life.
I don't know how to make him comfortable.
I have a garage where I can keep him but it gets too...
I went to visit him today and she seemed in good spirits.
He recognized us and started meowing and eating.
Then after I left the vet, I got a call because they were doing blood work.
It turns out that his kideys starting to fail.
The Vet did say that between 1-10, Tom is at 3rd or 4th stage...
My Tom is in the hospital because he has Utheral obstruction.
For those who have gone through it, do cats get back to normal if he got catherterizaion?
Will he survie and lead a normal life with a proper diet?
I am worried because I've read that the obstruction can happen again.
If treated...
I am going through the same thing right now.
I took my Tom yesterday because he was lethargic, no appetite and had blood in his urine.
They told me that I had taken him just in time.
He was obstructed and they are putting a catherer(?) to relieve him.
I chose to have him hospitalized for the...
The neighbors recently brought 2 dogs into their home.
They are puppy Bulldogs.
Today I saw that one of the dogs crossed to the other neirbors yard.
If the dogs are still puppies, it is possible that they will not attack my cats, since they are growing and they already know of my cats?
Thanks...
There is this little stray cat that comes by when it's time to feed my cats.
A couple of weeks ago, I noticed that he had a big wound on his cheek. Maybe a dog/cat bite or maybe shot by a bb gun.
It destroyed part of the cheek.
Is there any thing I can do for him without taking him to the...
HI.
Does anyone know of a place where I can find Cat Decals?
I remember that I saw one a long time ago which was adorable.
It was a white fluffy cat who was placed one the smaller window in the backseat. She had her body to the front but was turing her head sideways.
Any ideas?
You may write to...
Hi.
I am worried about my Mixy because she no loger wants to eat dry food.
This started because I began to feed them (Mixy and Tom) cannned food.
Tom still eats the dry one when I give him but Mixy refuses to eat it.
Is there anything I can do for her?
Or is the solution to start giving her...
called me a few nights ago. She was very upset because she had acidentally trapped a cat in her garage while she was unloading groceries.
She closed the garage door and then the other door leading into the kitchen.
Later, she started to hear strange meowing and scratching. Since she is not...
I know that I've posted about my beloved Sassy passing away.
She was the one that I had a special bond with. She'd make me laugh, sometimes a little mad at her, (when she ate a bird) and she would enjoy being with me. She'd sit on my lap and wanted me to carry her like a baby, looking soooo...
It's been my experience that the litters that I've had, both Chachi's, "fly" when they are playing ouside at night.
I would hear them scratching at the very top of the window and hear "bangs" up there.
Just curious.

here I am posting a question again. Sorry.
My problem is that I've seen Tonky choking on his food a couple of times. It doesn't happen often but it happened today.
How can I help him? I tried hitting gently on his neck.
Do you have to act like with a human.
I'd appreciate any advice.
Thanks...
Hi.
I've posted before that Mixy and Tonky are outside cats and they enjoy spending time at the neighbor's house that here.
Would adding catnip in our yard attact them to stay a bit more at home?
Thanks.
Angie
