Yes, they did a urine culture and there were no problems. There have been no changes - we've used the same litter always, same food, plenty of litter boxes that are cleaned twice a day. No changes in who is in the household. We live in an apartment and there are no outdoor cats nearby. Feliway...

So my kitty Lizzy has been peeing on the couch. The first time, we cleaned the crap out of the couch, took her to the vet (she checked out fine), and then had a steam cleaner come and clean the entire sofa. Then she did it again, just days after her doctor's appointment. We cleaned it again and...

Good morning everyone! I hope everyone and their fur babies are doing well. I have two kittens - Darcy is almost 4 months and Lizzy is almost 3 months. Darcy has already had his boy parts removed (by the shelter when we adopted him) and Lizzy is going to get her girl parts out next Friday. We...

Mr. Darcy is no longer at the shelter! Since he is not available for adoption yet, that means he had an owner and was picked up! Solves our problem and his problem!

Thank you to everyone for your advice! We are still thinking about it, and taking everything into consideration. My husband is leaning against him though, because he thinks that another kitten will be a better companion for Lizzy. I think I agree, but it is a tough decision... Given what a...

Thanks everyone! You all confirmed what I think I already knew... we are going to look for another kitten of similar age to be Lizzy's sibling. In case anyone is interested in a beautiful, loving, tom-cat, he is at the NYC ACC in Brooklyn and his name is Mookie.

My husband and I recently lost our baby Hunter and decided to adopt a pair of kittens. When we went to the shelter, only one kitten appealed to us and was available, so we took her home. Her name is Lizzy (after Elizabeth Bennet), she is 2 months old and 2.2 lbs, all black with a white spot on...

Well, here is the final update. Hunter passed away last night. He recovered fine from his surgery, but he got IMHA (immune anemia). We gave him steroids, but they didn't work. By yesterday afternoon, he was mostly gone. We are very sad and miss him very much. I think he is happy to be in...

Thank you everyone for your concern and well wishes!!! Hunter is now home since saturday. The biopsy indicated that he does not have cancer, which is a shocker to everyone. 3/4 of his colon was removed and he had terrible anemia and almost died several times. Now he is on steroids, which seem...

Thanks for asking! I completely forgot that I posted here, amongst all the running around.... Turns out that Hunter had intestinal cancer... he was also anemic and we had a hard time getting him well enough for surgery. He did have the surgery yesterday and they removed 3/4 of his large...

Now that I have read the lower threat about Ginger, who had FIP, this is starting to sound very similar...The vet mentioned FIP as a possible diagnosis and described it as "a terrible disease"... unfortunately, we were too focused on the possibility of cancer to really think about it... the more...

Things I forgot... Throughout this, he has also lost about 15% of his weight. Previous to this, we fed him Wellness food, wet in the evening and dry in the morning. He is an indoor only cat and has been so his entire life (as far as we know). We got him less than two years ago from the pound.

So my almost 6 year old neutered male cat, Hunter, has been sick for about three weeks now. It started with just diarrhea. When it did not go away, we took him to the vet and got a prescription for Metronidozol, which tasted disgusting and we could not really get him to take. After about a week...

Thanks everyone! I'll just try to wait it out... Hopefully the garbage men don't think that I'm dumping entire cats in the trash
