I think something happened to the mother cat. She has a 5 month old male cat who does interact with him sometimes. The older cat seems to be full grown, but could grow a little. He looks so big next to mini cat. The baby cat is so cute, but I even asked my daughter how she knows this cat is...

My daughter has a 7 week old kitten. She thinks it's a male. She says it's anus sticks out about 1/2 inch. She doesn't know if it is just maturing or if something is wrong with intestines. Any ideas?

So sorry to hear about Zippy. I know what you are feeling when you said you felt guilty for not taking her to the vet sooner. Pepper was put to sleep on April 11th. We had taken her to the vet in January with an ear problem. I told the vet she wasn't using her litter box all the time. The...

When you've had an animal that long, it becomes one of the family. To know that the dog had physical challenges in his life makes the passing all the harder. Knowing he lived a long life and longer than it could have been is a comfort. If only pets could live as long as we do. But life isn't...

So sorry to hear about Harriet. She wasn't that old. Pepper just passed over on April 11th. She was 14 1/2. So I know how you feel. We had to have her put to sleep. I was hoping she was going to pass on her own. Making the decision to put a beloved animal to sleep is hard. You had that...

Aww.......poor hugs. What an angel baby. I feel so sorry that this little guy didn't live long. So sorry to hear about him.

I know how you feel about Pebbles. Pepper was put to sleep on April 11th with an inoperable tumor. If you are like me you think to yourself that You are NEVER never going to get that close to an animal again because it hurts too much to lose them. I will probably some day get another cat...

Mom 2 3 Sorry to hear about Zuri. I know your pain firsthand. I just had my 14 1/2 year old cat Pepper put to sleep. She had an inoperable tumor. If you are like me, you just do your everyday normal activities as if Zuri is going to show up. Even opening a can with a can opener made me...

Thanks everyone. I'd like to think Pepper is up in kitty heaven chasing all the chimpmunks that I wouldn't let her chase on Earth.

Tomorrow will be a week since Pepper was put to sleep. I miss her terribly, but I am accepting this. While I am NOT ready to get another cat, I go down to Petco and talk to the cats there and pet them. When we dropped Pepper off it was 2 pm. Sometime between 4 and 5, but closer to 5, I felt...

Pepper looked like **Dino**. Very much like Dino. She was a classic black and white tuxedo cat.

Thanks everyone. I cry every time I've read your responses.

We had to put Pepper to sleep yesterday. She had an inoperable tumor. She was 14 1/2. She was the best Kitty. We originally got her for our kids who were then almost 10 and 6 1/2. She suffered more than we realized towards the end, but we didn't recognize that until it was over. She never...

I didn't see Whiskas (soft in pouch) on the recall list, but I read where it has wheat gluten. I hope my cat is ok. I think she's showing signs of old age and not a reaction to the recalled food. She is only eating about half of her normal amount and only wants the soft foods. She isn't using...

My cat is 14 1/2 and has become frail. She stopped using the litter box and in January I took her to the vet who said this was a "behavior problem". However, in the last month or so she's dropped weight again and is eating only half of her normal food. Not only that she's not eating table...

Deb, I think she knew. Just like dogs who can tell when someone is going to have an asthma attack, or they can smell cancer. Cats are supposed to have even better smellers than dogs do. They would use them to sniff out drugs, etc. if they could be trained. LOL, cats do what they want to, so...

Maybe it's a game to him. Like a new habit every time he eats. Just something he learned to do?

We have an artificial tree, but every 5th year we get a real one (compromise). When we did, good thing we used only water in the base. The cat drank it! Even with an artificial tree she would climb up in it and lay down. But as she became a "fatty catty" she couldn't maneuver up there. Well...

Well she usually eats Purina One and a small amount of the yummy stuff -- Meow mix or similar. I bought playsand and put it in her litter box. No, we haven't had a senior blood panel done. She doesn't seem to have problems getting into her litter box. She was a "wild kitty" the other day...

Thanks Moof! I appreciate your advice. Pepper is our only cat and even shared the house with 7 hamsters at one time. She's been a great cat for the kids, but I think this is some kind of old age thing. When she was much younger she "punished" us for anything she thought she was being left...
