So... I'm moving to a country in a few months where commercial pet food is expensive and poor quality. Mia currently eats NVI Chicken Raw Boost (she loves to pick out the raw bites mainly and seems luke warm on the kibble portion) and is obsessed with Hounds and Gatos chicken canned for her meal...

I used to have two littermates, Marble and Mia. They would have been 7 this upcoming March. They weren't terribly close as they got older...they more or less did their own thing. On Dec. 6th, Marble passed away from mouth cancer. I tried to help her as much as I could but eating was getting...

Hello, just wondering if anybody here has gone through this... just got a diagnosis today for Marble (litter-mate to Mia in a prior thread- when it rains, it pours). The vet was very surprised as she thought it looked just like an inflammatory response, esp. given her history of asthma and IBD...

Hello all,  It's been a while since I've posted here but I'm finding it difficult for people IRL to understand what I'm going through with my baby.  Mia has always been a puker. It was always after meals so the vet and I came to the conclusion she just ate too fast. Over the weekend, she...

Hello I am in the middle of moving across the country and  I need some suggestions on foods to try until I can get set up with a good vet in my new area. I have a kind of tricky issue...I believe both of my cats (sisters) have food allergies. They are 5 years old. One used to have severe...

So I was asleep and heard all this swearing and yelling and doors banging downstairs...mom is yelling for me to come so I run down there and he has this possessed look on his face. So after some bickering with him I saved Mia from under the bed and took her to my room for safety. Apparently, she...

I was in my bedroom surfing the net when I heard a strange noise in my bathroom. I went to go investigate and found the water bowl completely knocked over and the carpet saturated. After telling Marble what a bad girl she was, I noticed a big, fat roach scurrying away in the opposite direction...

I feel so bad for my mother. She has been looking to adopt another pure white cat after our old boy died in March. 4 times it has fallen through. 4 times. First time, someone got it before we had a chance to reply to the ad. Second time we were denied because we lived out of town. Third time it...

Some of you may have read my last few posts about a little kitten I attempted to rescue/foster out of a local animal shelter. I'm not an official foster nor do I have any connections to any rescue groups so the tiny little wee one and his/her littermates were pts after I was denied a chance to...

Ever since Monday, my family has been calling a kill shelter in regards to a lost kitten. It's 3 days are up today and we learned it doesn't weigh enough and will be pts. We offered to foster it and they said no. Is there anything I can do to help this poor soul??? We want to love it SO BAD and...

Since our old kitty died in March, we have been looking for a kitty to adopt that looks similar to him... We may have found one except the people caring for it say it's been outside this whole time with mom, who is their barn cat. The kitten is only 7 weeks old but would this prevent it from...

Had a thought after reading another thread but didn't want to hijack it...does anybody else's cat's have one or two REALLY THICK claws? My mom's cat has this huge nail that's totally gross to look at and when we go to clip it, it seems to affect her more so than the other nails. The best way to...

I miss you more than anything already yet I am so glad that your pain and suffering has come to an end. You put up such a fight sweetheart, the vet said you had 1-2 weeks and you fought that stupid cancer for almost 9. I am sorry I was not there when you passed, I didn't want you to be alone. I...

Hello, I have recently begun a full time job and have been away from the house for long periods of time (10-14 hours a day). I am planning on living at home for a few months to save up some money, and my mom cheerfully looks after and feeds my babies their afternoon snack while I am away. Lately...

I'll start... I love how Mia grunts/chirps at everything. I love how she rolls around on the floor when she wants to be pet or picked up. I love how she wakes me up at 3 am just to say "hi!" (ok..sometimes!) I love how easily she will fall asleep on my chest/lap, and stay there for a long time...

I am kinda getting tired of this. Both my cats have mostly normal stools except sometimes the part at the VERY end is loose and will leave a little thing of loose poop on their bum/vagina. Sometimes I am here to wipe it away but sometimes I am not and I'm tired of having to clean up the poop...

Has anybody else's cat ever ate clothing or fabric? I'm seriously at a loss here. A few weeks ago, I noticed someone had eaten all the yarn that comes off the end of a rug, overnight. I thought well, it's yarn... Didn't seem to have any complications. A few days later, I found Mia eating the end...

I took my 5.5 mo. old female sister DSH kittens to get their rabies vaccinations today. They were weighed; the more muscular one was 7.5 lbs and her less muscular sister was 6.3 lb. This number sounds on the large side to me, but...they don't really LOOK overweight. They do have a bit of a pot...

Hello, I have been a lurker for quite a while now and finally decided to join. I have two kitten sisters, Mia and Marble. Mia is a gray/cream tabby and Marble is a brown/black classic tabby. They are both 5 mo. old and absolute sweethearts. I'm looking forward to being able to post things now...
