About a month ago my 21 year old cat, Sassy, passed away   I still have my 6 year old male, Joey.  We really haven't been ready to get another cat, but I think Joey is having a hard time being an only child.  He runs around meowing in the night, gets into everything, and seems to be looking for...

Sassy, my perfect 21 year old tabby, crossed over the bridge this morning.  She had been declining, and I knew it was coming, but I guess you just can't prepare yourself enough. A neighbor gave her to my daughter when she was just 6 weeks old.  She was the runt of the litter, and a very mellow...

I have recently had to start giving my 19 year old female tabby, Sassy, some wet food. She has never really liked wet food, but is getting a little thin and the vet recommended it. She still has all of her teeth, and she prefers dry food. She will eat about 1/3 of the can and then I have to...

My dear sweet Alex passed away Saturday night. We have been battling liver problems for a couple of years, so I knew it was coming, but it doesn't make it any easier. He had been meowing more than usual during the day. That evening he threw up and couldn't stand to get away from it. (of...

Two weeks ago my Snowflake passed away very unexpectedly. She was my sweet white 14 year old kitty. I adopted her from the shelter. She was a young mom with 2 kittens--and then someone found 3 kittens under a trailer with no mama, so she took them as her own and fed them until weaned. I felt...

My 3 year old neutered male tabby, Joey, has started eating paper the past couple of days! I was wrapping a gift with tissue paper when he started biting off pieces of it and running off and eating it. Then this morning I had to cover the toilet paper because he was pulling it off and eating...

Yesterday my daughter called my cell while I was on my way to work, saying that Joey had gotten his tail slammed in our back door! Poor Joey!! She said that part of it was chopped off, and it was bleeding quite a bit. I told her to put pressure on it to stop the bleeding, and I called the...

I have a dumb question. Joey is a 3 year old neutered tabby. Lately I have noticed him "spraying", but nothing comes out. Nothing has really changed in the household that would make hime feel stressed, and I'm happy that he's not urinating outside the litter box. Should I take him to the...

Alex had one tooth extracted and a dental cleaning today. He did very well. He is still a little wobbly from the pain med. I am really hoping that this will make him better and he will start gaining some weight. Thanks for your suggestions and support Sierra

I was on the vet's doorstep at 8:00 am when he opened today with Alex. He quickly confirmed the toothache diagnosis, gave him the injection of antibiotics that you mentioned, and scheduled him for surgery tomorrow to remove any bad teeth and clean the rest. Alex has lost a lot of weight, but vet...

I feel so dumb, but I just figured out that my elderly Alex probably has a toothache. He has had random symptoms, including bad breath, drooling, and not wanting scritches on the right side of his face. He also appears to be losing weight. Yesterday he acted like he was fighting with his soft...

Recently, my big Tabby Alex has been very sick. I had to syringe feed him and give him meds twice a day for the last month and a half. He is much better now, but still very thin. Last night, hubby and I were lying in bed side by side, and Alex came up and laid on my chest. He was purring and...

Here are 2 pics of my sweet Alex. He has been very sick, but has almost regained his weight of 16lb. This is my first try at posting pictures. I hope it works ok.

my Alex is very sick. Since I took him to the vet on Fri he has eaten very little, not drinking, and not eliminating. I have faithfully given him the prescribed meds. A little while ago, I diluted and warmed the canned food from the vet, and syringed about 18cc into him. I can't just watch...

I've been worried about Alex, but yesterday was the first the vet could see him. I noticed last weekend that his ears were yellow. He also appeared to be losing weight. The vet took blood and said that he appears to have a clogged bile duct. He gave me antibiotics(amoxicillin) and another med...

Both of my male cats have started rubbing their teeth and gums against my skin???? It feels really weird and I have no idea why they do it. My females have never done this. Thanks.. Sierra

I feel so helpless....she is 4 hours away from me and the cat is vomiting foam! We can't get in touch with emergency vet, it is New Years Eve and I guess they are out partying. Any suggestions on how to comfort him? She says he is bloated and very lethargic. I am scared... Sierra

Hi, My new cat, Dallas, is a big 7ish year old neutered declawed tabby. He is huge, almost 20 pounds! My older girl, Sassy, is a 12 year old tabby also huge. I got Dallas to keep her company when she lost her buddy and her very favorite person within a 2 week period. We've had Dallas about 3...

Spice, my feisty orange Tabby. I love the long hair that comes out of her ears http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b2...o/MVC-677F.jpg Snowflake, my sweet girl. I love her curly ears and her "thumbs" (she's polydactyl ) http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b2...o/MVC-678F.jpg And Dallas, my new...

I would love to get a good picture of my new boy, Dallas. I have looked at your pictures of kitties and need some tips! Dallas won't hold still! He wants to head-butt and love on me all the time, especially if I have a camera in hand Thanks, Sierra
