Found this blog post today and it slayed me! It could be about one of my cats except I don't free feed as this blogger obviously does so I don't have quite the same problem. It's sarcastic by the way so don't take the post seriously! It's meant to entertain.
There is a stray cat in the neighborhood that meows incessantly on my neighbor's front porch. It sounds like it's in distress but every time I go out to see what's wrong with it, it runs off. I've never seen this cat before and I thought maybe it was trapped or hurt but it's not trapped and...
My cat Friday is 12 years old. We've been treating him for hyperthyroid for about 12 months. We knew that he had kidney disease and started him on KD. 3 months ago, his levels were good enough that our vet didn't want to start him on medication. He hasn't been himself the last couple of...
Seti is a spitter. Not sure why but when he's really wound up and having fun (usually while leaping into a pile of laundry) he spits. It's hysterical and I've never heard a cat spit unless they're frightened. Does anyone else's cat do this?
This blog, Door In Face, is looking for crazy animal stories (and tells a few of its own!) I figured TCS probably has some of the craziest animal stories out there! Even if you don't have a story to tell, the blog post is funny!
Friday has a hyper thyroid. We recently discovered it and started him on meds. Prior to this, he was urinating and defecating outside of his box. His vet theorized that as he's aged, it's more difficult for him to get into and out of his box so I bought him a box with very low sides and added...
Seti makes crystals. This is kind of a relief because sometimes he pees in strange places. He's very emotional and I've always attributed the urine to him being upset with one of our other cats as he's never shown signs of illness. In fact, he still doesn't have an infection but we ran a...
Seti's a weird one, no doubt. If he gets upset he pees on the stove. Very charming. I don't think he can help it. He had a traumatic kittenhood. He seems to do fine if I keep the litter boxes unbelievably clean and if I spend plenty of time reassuring and comforting him. But if he gets...
Some jerk tried to break into my house today in the middle of the day. It was lunchtime and I had left to do my pet sitting when they used items from my FRONT porch to break a window on the back of my house. Thankfully, my deaf 14 year old dog isn't so deaf she can't hear glass breaking and...
I rescued two kittens today. At least I think I did the right thing. Their mom is a neighbor's cat that was never spayed. You know the story. Another neighbor has been trying to trap the mom for quite some time with no success. I came home from the gym and found mom on my porch which was...
My husband is cooking dinner which is probably where things first went wrong. The oil got too hot and the house got smokey. Seti started making the strangest noises. He's scared of the smoke. In all my years working with cats I've never seen one act this way. I spent a long time loving on...
Friday has lost some weight in the past six months. He's still a healthy weight it was just a noticeable change so I had his blood work done this week just to make sure he's healthy. His vet called and said everything looked good but the levels for his kidneys were up slightly from six months...
Seti is a bed hog! He can't just lay by my feet. He fuses with me on a molecular level. I can't roll over or sometimes even get comfortable because he gets so close to me but I found a solution! I gave him his own teddy bear to curl up with at night. I get a break and it's so cute to see...
...I hate people. Found another "stray" (read: neighbor gets cats then sticks them outside) this morning. She's so small she's practically see through and she's pregnant. Once again my neighbor and I will trap her and find her a home. I wish I could figure out who gets these cats and puts...
There's a place that my husband and I would like to buy. It's a town house that's built around a courtyard that has flowerbeds and trees but is totally walled in (inside the townhouse) on all four sides but there's no roof. I think the cats will love the townhouse and getting to go "outside"...
So I've been posting about my cat Hemmy. In case you missed in, Hemmy is about 9 years old. He's a neutered DLH male cat that's had a whole host of medical issues throughout his life the big one being chronic UTI's that resulted in an emergency amputation of his penis to allow crystals to flow...
