My old cat never did this so I have no idea what it means... Maki shakes her tail like a rattlesnake pretty often. She does it often when we pet her but she does it as she's exploring the house too. Does seem to be a hunting thing... any ideas?
For those who haven't been following Maki's story...
I adopted her on Jan. 6th from a shelter. She's 8yo (and no, the shelter did not give any health garantee because of her age). She developped an URI because of the stress and I'll leave out the details but I visited the vet 3 times in the...
Me again!
Long story short, we started antibiotics and "Ensilyn" (I think that was it) vitamins for my cat on Friday night. She also had 4 pills of anti-inflammatory to take every 24hr for 4 days to break the fever. The fever has not returned since then but she gradually stopped eating.

I'm just back from the vet with Maki. Long story short: I ended up going back to the first vet and well, I must've hit her on a bad day the first time because she was VERY nice. lol

While I took my newly adopted 8yo female to the vet to have a general exam, I asked the vet to check out a little bump/lump she has on the underside of the neck. It's about the size of a pea. The vet thought it might be a pellet (I'm disgusted that this actually happens!!!), but she did a...
Hi!
Found this site while looking for information on the cat flu...
I just picked up an 8yo female cat from the shelter last Saturday. She's a total darling, although a little shy still. Now if I can just get her over that cold so that we can get to know her better...
Looking forward to using...
I'm new to the boards!
Please bear with me, I'll try to make it as short as possible!
We just picked up the sweetest 8yo female from the local Humane Society on Saturday. From what we know, she had been with the same family all her life until their kid started having bad allergies.
She...
