sorry I wasn't clear, I made this post on a whim and I didn't include enough back story but her issues go way beyond just the kitten. that's just the tipping point in putting her on medication to help her anxiety. she is a very anxious cat and always has been, other cats or not. my vet (who I...

My 9 year old cat, Martini, has been a scaredy cat for most of her life. Almost 2 years ago, Martini's sister died suddenly of a heart attack. Martini didn't really seem to grieve and was actually pretty happy. She was overly attached to me though, and I decided to get her a friend. After...

Luckily, they both LOVE me. My other female passed in January very suddenly at the age of 6. Martini (8 yr old female) didn't really care for her & was perfectly content being alone. For selfish reasons I wanted another kitty. Martini hates my male kitten more than she ever hated the other...

I haven't asked the vet yet. I was thinking after they stop smelling from this dip I might let them out. I just can't do it anymore. I'll have to reintroduce them slowly, martini is still NOT happy I got a kitten.

The kitties are now on itraconazole, day 4. They go for another dip tomorrow. At what point can I let them out of seclusion? (They're both in separate bedrooms). Do I have to wait for them to be completely healed first?

Hi Everyone, 8 years ago I dealt with ringworm in my kitten, Martini. I never saw any spots on her, but I got it. When we took her to the vet they were able to confirm it with black light and culture. Looking back I was lucky because I had just moved into a small apartment... much easier to...

Hi all, Today my cat Midori and I had a scary experience. We were laying on the couch with a brand new electric blanket, when all of a sudden she fell on her side. At first I thought she was just getting comfy, but when I went to move her back on my lap (she was hanging off the edge), I...

oh and i also wanted to mention that while she's always had some form or another of loose stools, sometimes its worse than other times. lately it hasn't been formed at all... but other times it comes out a little formed, but still loose. in the past it would seem like she might finally be...

thanks for all your feedback! unfortunately i had to work late today so i couldn't call the vet. I actually do have a probiotic (the purina one, cant think of the name off the top of my head) for Martini, but it had fallen to the bottom of the bag and I forgot I had it. I gave it to her tonight...

The vet was able to get a very fresh fecal sample (Martini got sick in her carrier and then rolled around in it trying to avoid the vet..). I was told they found bacteria, but thats pretty much all i know!

This is more of a vent than anything... My kitty has been dealing with diarrhea pretty much ever since i got her. (she's a little over a year old). I didn't bring her to the vet, because I didn't have the money, and didn't like the vet I was using. I was hoping it was dietary, but after trying a...

my new kitten Midori is about 12 or 13 weeks old. i got her about 3 weeks ago. when i got her, she had a cold and the person i got her from sent her home with some clovamax. well, after being on the medication until it wore out (so definitely over the 10 days it was prescribed) Midori was...

martini eats everything and i mean EVERYTHING. the other day i was having some tostitos with the tostito queso dip.. at one point i looked away and when i looked back martini's head was in the bag (she ran off with a chip)... a few mins later she came back and put her head in the dip and had...

one time i was having a nightmare and i must have been tossing and turning (and disturbing martini) so she plopped her butt down right on my face. at least she woke me up before my nightmare got worse! but.... i'd prefer the feet instead of the butt any day!

Martini is an indoor cat, but the other day it was nice out, and i let her out on my balcony for a little bit (she's never been out there). She was really scared at first but soon she was having a great time watching the birds. I might sit with her out there again today!

No worries. I'm in a building that allows pets if you pay the deposit... and my complex is huge, so i doubt if they saw her in the window they'd try to check if i'm allowed to have her. i've had maintenance over and stuff and they've never said anything about her. thanks for the suggestions. i...

well its getting to be that time of year to have your windows open and let the fresh air in. Problem -- Martini seems to think that screens are just bigger scratching posts. I live in an apartment that allows pets but I never told them I had her (i was planning on it, but when I got her i had to...

My brat (otherwise known as Martini) sure showed me this afternoon! Whenever Martini feels I'm not keeping her litter box up to her standards she creates a mess.... with the litter. I scoop every other day, but she is a brat when she wants fresh litter! Once i came home to find the box of fresh...

cats won't backstab you by convincing the guy you're seeing that you're a bad person and then go behind your back and date the guy while still pretending to be your friend. yeahhhh its been a rough couple of weeks! so happy to cuddle with martini through all this!

martini stands about a foot away from the vacuum cleaner with her back arched. she follows me around like that the entire time i vacuum. then when i turn it off, she attacks it. i've actually seen her trying to bite it.
