On Friday afternoon my 7 year old male cat, TIger, went in to the vet and he was blocked.  He didn't have stones or crystals or anything I don't think...the vet described it as gritty.  They kept him over the weekend with a catheter in for a couple of days and I got to bring him home this...

I need some advice on whether it would be a good idea to get a dog or not. My husband and I have always wanted a dog but we didn't think an apartment was a good place for one. We've lived in a good sized townhome for six years but it has a very tiny yard so we haven't gotten one and would like...

On Tuesday night I suddenly lost my baby Kirby. He was only eleven months old and hadn't even been sick. I had a short work day and spent the rest of it snuggling with Kirby. I went to bed around 8:30 and had just laid down when I heard a cry from Kirby I'd never heard before. He was laying...

We have been noticing that Kirby's eyes often move side to side when he isn't looking at anything. It's kind of hard to describe so I'm going to try to take a video for the vet but I'm wondering if this sounds familiar to anyone. I try to avoid looking up symptoms on google because it's just...

She has two cats who are probably four or five and are brothers. Over a year ago something surprised my sister and she yelled and jumped off the couch which made one of the cats fall on the other one. No one was hurt but they started fighting and acting afraid of each other after that. She...

A few weeks ago my eight month old Kirby started limping around. The vet took x-rays and said that he has panosteitis (much more common in puppies) and gave him some pain medication. It will go away on it's own eventually but poor Kirby is still struggling with walking. We just got back from...

I finally downloaded the pictures off my cell phone camera. This is the last picture I took of Cookie in August the weekend she got sick.

Kirby just came home from the vet after having some x-rays of his hips and legs. Everything looks good and they didn't see any injuries but the vet did find one very tiny slightly cloudy spot in the bone of his upper left hind leg that she said is panosteitis. Apparently it's more common in...

We recently noticed that our 7 month old male Kirby has gotten very lazy. He was neutered about two months ago so we thought that he was just calming down a bit but we realized that all he really does now is lay around and sleep. He eats and uses the litter box as usual but doesn't have much...

My little sister needs some advice about her two cats. She has had the two boys since they were kittens and they are probably about 4 now (I'm guessing on some of the specifics). Earlier this year my sister got startled and jumped up, knocking one cat off the couch and on top of his brother...

My four year old female Lily has always been on the slightly chunky side. It's never been bad enough where we thought she was overweight but just enough that we kept an eye on her weight. Since sometime in September she has started to lose some weight, nothing drastic but I still worry. We...

Now that there are four kitties in our house we would like to start buying the biggest bag of dry food that wellness makes but it is not resealable so we are looking for a storage container. I have read that plastic dishes can cause acne in cats so I want one that is not plastic and have not...

My kitten Ellie got spayed yesterday and they gave me five days worth of pain medication for her when I picked her up this morning. The last time I had to take a cat for spaying was six years ago and I don't remember giving her any medication after. So, I'm wondering if Ellie seems to be her...

It's been almost exactly a month since I lost Cookie. For a while it did get better but I have been missing her so much the last few days. She was only 6 years old and we had been best friends since the day I found her at the adoption center. My husband could be home all day and she'd spend...

This weekend I adopted two kittens 9 weeks and 14 weeks old. The 9 week old Ellie has had diarrhea almost since we brought her home and it's getting worse. I took her to the vet yesterday and she doesn't have worms or anything and she is still eating and drinking but now she isn't even going...

Hi, I'm new here and could use some advice. My husband and I have been considering adopting two new kittens...a brother and sister that need to be kept together. We have had our cat for two and a half years now and she's the sweetest cat I have ever seen. I don't think she knows how to use...
