    A new cat - maybe?

    Here is a picture of the cutie. We did say that we did not want a cat that looked like our dear boy Jasper who passed away in March but fate had other ideas. Sometimes I see her out of the corner of my eye and think it is Jasper. It will take some getting used to.

    A new cat - maybe?

    Yah, she is at the vet now as they are trying to get a urine sample. They did test her for Feline Leukemia and it was negative. They also shaved her belly a bit and found a scar so she has been spayed. Yay!!!!

    A new cat - maybe?

    Thanks for the reply. I've been reading up on Feline Leukemia; it's scary stuff. I wish I had known more earlier. The new cat has drank out of Kitty's water dish several times; makes me worry.

    A new cat - maybe?

    We have an appointment Monday morning. I noticed that she goes to the litter box a lot and dribbles pee. It is very similar to when Jasper had crystals. Is this a urinary tract infection? Unlike Jasper, she doesn't seem to be in any pain. I tried to get an appointment today but all the vets in...

    A new cat - maybe?

    Yesterday, a Facebook friend posted about a cat crying on her porch in the rain. Her neighbor's girlfriend recently moved out and left her cats behind. There are two indoor cats and one outdoors. No one was taking care of the outdoor cat. Our cat Jasper passed away in March. I knew that we...

    Two Months Today.

    It was two months today that Jasper passed away. Jasper was only five years old when he died in his sleep on March 22. We don't know what happened to him. He was fine when I went out for a few hours. When I came back, he was gone. Not a day goes by without me thinking and missing him. I see...

    Kitty has a melanocytic tumor in her ear

    Thanks Gingersmom, its good to hear a positive story. It has only been a month since we've spotted the growth but it doesn't seem to have grown. Kitty scratches at it once in awhile, but it doesn't seem to bother her too much. I will keep my fingers crossed. She is my guardian angel and I tell...

    My beloved Isis

    I'm so sorry to hear about Isis. It is hard to lose a little loved one, especially so suddenly. Take comfort in the fact that you were with her and you gave her 2.5 years of love.

    Kitty has a melanocytic tumor in her ear

    No one has had experience with this? It's a black growth on the inside skin of her ear. I find it hard to sit back and wait to see if it gets bigger. We lost our big man, Jasper, two months ago. I couldn't bear to lose Kitty too.

    Kitty has a melanocytic tumor in her ear

    Kitty is about 6 1/2 years old. We recently noticed something weird in her ear so we took her to the vet this week. The vet told us she has a MELANOCYTIC tumor in her ear. She told us to keep a close eye on Kitty and if we see the size increasing, to take her back in. Has anyone dealt with...

    My cat just died and I don't know why

    After speaking with our vet, we have decided not to get the necropsy. They would have to send him away and we would not get him back. They would put him in a mass cremation. I want him back. My husband is away and I think we need to say goodbye together and sprinkle Jasper's ashes somewheres...

    My cat just died and I don't know why

    Thank you for your kind words. When I left him this morning. he was sitting up in his favorite basket in the living room. I came back to find him laying in the same basket. It really sucks. My husband just flew across the country on a business trip for a week. I had to tell him this over the...

    My cat just died and I don't know why

    I was out for about 5 hours today and I returned to find Jasper dead. He is just 5 years old. Two years ago, Jasper had problems with crystals so he had a surgery that removed all his man parts so it was not a blockage. He was fine this morning. I have another cat and I am worried that it will...
