    Sleep question

    I posted last week about my new kitten, Lil Bit, and how my two boys, Sam and King, were not adjusting well. It went from bad to worse, and my boys wouldn't eat or come in the house. So, I ended up giving Lil Bit to my parents. They were not thrilled about getting a kitten, but took up...

    New kitten with my two males

    My husband brought home a sweet little kitten the other night. I have 2 males already that are a little over a year old. They are our children, and sweet happy boys! The new kitten is a male, also. He is about 4 months old (according to the vet) and very sweet and laid back. He is trying to...

    Sam is limping

    Sam had tick fever about a month and a half ago. He recovered, but had a small relapse about 2 weeks ago. Since then, I have noticed him limping on his right front leg on and off. Mostly it's when he has been asleep on the couch for a long time. It's like that leg gets stiff. He doesn't do...

    More questions about Sam

    OK, sorry I am only on here sporadically. I have been crazy busy and just have not had a chance. I posted about Sam having a fever Tuesday night, taking the baby aspirin, feeling great, but I took him to the vet Wednesday anyway. The vet couldn't find anything, but told me it was probably a...

    What is going on with Sam now?

    I think my sweet Sam is sick AGAIN! I don't know if anyone remembers but he was sick about a month ago with what the vet assumed was tick fever and stayed at the vet several days. He has been fine since. However, today, he has stayed on the couch ALL day, and when I put down their food...

    Do steroids cause cats to eat more?

    My kitty, Sam, is still recovering from his tick fever. He was sent home Monday with an antibiotic and a steroid to get every other day. He seems to be feeling GREAT, and is back to himself, but I have noticed that he is eating ALL THE TIME! I keep dry food out for them all day, and they get...

    Sam is coming home!

    I just talked to the vet tech, and she said that Sam was doing great, and he could come home this afternoon. I asked what had been wrong with him, and she said she didn't know. I would have to talk to the vet when I picked him up. She said the vet was going to run another round of labs this...

    Another update on Sam, and advice needed!!

    Well, I called the vet this morning, and talked to the vet for a loooong time. The short of it is is that they don't really know what's wrong with my boy. They know he is not blocked. They put the catheter in and checked the urine. There was no sign of infection, but there was bilirubin in...

    Update on my "sleeping cat"

    Well, when I got home from work today, he was in his same spot. He looked up at me, and I just knew something wasn't right. He jumped down and drank and ate, but it looked like it was kind of hard for him to walk, and he was moving very slow. I called a vet about 30 miles away, and they...

    Question about sleeping cat!

    I'm sure this has been addressed, and I tried looking through old posts, but I was getting nowhere fast.. One of my cats has just started sleeping ALL the time. He is a little over a year old. He is indoor/outdoor, but lately has been in a large part of the day. I leave him in when I go to...

    The battle is on... and they're winning!

    OK, my two 7 month old cats do not sleep in the room with us at night, because they are just too rambunctious! They have the entire rest of the house as their own all night. However, that is not good enough for these two. They start at 5:00 a.m. meowing loudly outside our door. Now, I could...

    collars

    Hi! My 6 month old kittens have just now gotten big enough for a collar. How tight should they be. I can comfortably get a finger between the collar and the neck. is that too loose/tight. They are so funny. Sam acts like the collar has made him unable to walk! He shakes his back legs...

    Question about aids and leukemia

    I posted about the pitiful cat we found. It was in my backyard with my two cats. I don't know that my cats go around him, but if he has aids or leukemia, how is it passed on to other cats? Does it have to be through scratching? I guess I should get them tested. I'm worried sick now.

    Pitiful cat found

    I found a poor pitiful cat at my back door last night. He was very loving, but just so awful looking. He is filthy and seems to have a cold or something. He is coughing, and he can't meow because he is hoarse. His eyes look awful and runny and his nose is runny. He is so matted up and...

    Silly me!

    I had posted about my cat having a small lump on his side a few days ago. I took him to the vet yesterday, and they said it was from him getting a sub q shot when he got neutered! I felt so silly, but so relieved that it was nothing bad!

    Small lump

    My 6 month old kitten has a small lump on his side. It is about the size of a pea, and it is soft. Should I take him to the vet, or could it be the result of an old fight?

    Chewing kitten

    I have a 6 month old kitten who has just started chewing on things. We only noticed it after we had him neutered a couple of weeks ago, but now he chew on everything - hairbrushes, watches, our body parts! It's weird. I've never had a cat to do this. Is there anything I can do to stop him...

    When will my neutered kitties be back to normal??

    I have 2 male cats that are about 6 months old. They were both neutered on Wednesday, with no complications or problems. They are now home and just seem so listless and tired. I know it has only been 2 days, but I miss my feisty little boys. All they want to do is sleep, and one of them...

    ANOTHER question

    OK... I know I'm getting obnoxious with all the questions, but I am just worried about my kittens. King got to come home today, but my other kitten Sam, had to go! I noticed that Sam was not eating much today, and right before I went to get King, I noticed that he had some really bad diarrhea...

    Worried about my kitten

    I posted Sunday about him. He was acting like he didn't feel good, so I took him to the vet. She felt that he had eaten some kind of plant, and that it needed to run it's course, but she kept him and gave him a drip. Yesterday, I called to see when I could get him, and she said he was having...
