My 13 year old cat was just diagnosed with IBD and the vet has me giving her prednisone. I have four cats and they have all eaten Nutro Natural choice dry for some years now. My oldest (the one w/ IBD) also gets Nutro Senior wet food. The vet put her on prednisone, but has not mentioned...

Oh, that's great, it would be just about 12 hours, but I can scoop it now and refrigerate it. Thank so much!

I've been trying to collect a stool sample to bring in for a worm test for my older cat who has become very thin. They've tested for other things and so far nothing unusual shows up. Since I have other cats, I've been locking her in a room with her own litter box during the day, hoping to get a...

I have a 10 week old kitten that sneezes a few times a day. He was with his littermates at the vet last Thursday for a health check and a littermate ended up with an URI (picked up from the vet's office). The sick cat has since gone home to her new family and my guy only sneezes a few times a...

I've posted a few times about a stray pregnant cat that showed up on our doorstep. She had her kittens and they are going to be leaving at the end of this week (9 weeks old) to go to another foster home while they are spayed/neutered, then off to their forever homes (except the one who we are...

We are keeping the black and white guy, Cupid. He just stole our hearts. He comes right over to us as soon as we come in and climbs into our hands to snuggle up and go to sleep. *sigh*. The others are all very sweet as well, but he is just something special.

Hi, I've posted a few times now about a stray mom cat and her litter of kittens that we have here. Misty (mom cat) and all the kittens (six) are doing really well. We have decided to keep one of the kittens, and I'm wondering when we should introduce him to our other three cats, and our dog...

Thanks, guys. He is doing much better and has been gaining between .2 and .5 ounces a day, which seems pretty good. He is still underweight, but seems healthy and is catching up. The others are doing well, though there is another whose weight gain has slowed down. I have tried supplementing, but...

The kittens (stray mom that we took in pregnant at Christmas time) are now 3 weeks old and beginning to wander around their area. Currently there is a litter box for momcat in there with regular (non-clumping) litter. Can I use this kind of litter for the kittens as well, or should I switch mom...

She seems to feel fine, and the other kittens seem to be thriving. It's just this little guy that is worrisome. I have tried giving him a little KMR, but he won't take the bottle. I put a drop on my fingertip and he would lick it off occasionally, but it didn't seem to really get a decent...

I think he's doing better. I weighed him yesterday and he was 6.4 oz. Today he is 6.8 oz, so that seems to be a good weight gain in one day. The others gained between .1 and .6 oz I have a theory as to why he was not doing well. See if you think this could be it. Last Saturday morning I went to...

Ok, I'm officially worried about the little guy now. I weighed them all this morning on a postal scale and here are the results (they are 16 days old today): Because the mom cat found us at Christmas time, the kittens got reindeer names, lol: Dasher - 9.1 oz Dancer - 8.8 oz Prancer - 9.8 oz...

Hi, I'm new here. A little background: On Christmas weekend we were "adopted" by a pregnant stray cat. She showed up and INSISTED that she was supposed to be our cat. LOL We took her in and set her up in a separate room, as we have 3 other cats (all rescues/shelter cats). We began feeding her...
