I'm so sorry for your loss. My thoughts are with you

I'm very worried about my kitty Last night Alex spent some time separated by about an hour trying to hack something up. I assumed it was a hairball and didn't think too terribly much of it, being that it was 4 am. I just felt bad for the poor guy. This evening one of them (can't be sure who...

Interesting about the carbs and grains. It certainly wasn't my intention to increase that in their diets, although I don't really know how that plays into the health of my cats - should I choose something else? What I'm looking for is simply the best food I can feed my kitties for their...

Oh my, how scary! This is far more than a clerical error or a mix-up, this is simply the vet not knowing what s/he is doing! That poor kitty

I have been feeding my kitties Nutro Natural Choice food, but they seemed bored so today I did a thorough inspection of everything at the pet store. I decided to buy a small bag of Blue Spa Selects to see how that goes over with the kitties. I debated between Blue Spa Selects, Royal Canin and...

I got my two kittens when they were 6 and 8 weeks. Alex, at 6 weeks, had no fear and was 'normal' almost immediately. Evie, on the other hand, hardly came out for an entire month. No toys even remotely tempted her, and she certainly wouldn't cuddle with anyone except Alex in a safe corner. It...

I just moved my 2 lovely kitties 3.5 hours away from our old home. I spoke with my vet who offered sedatives but (I felt) highly suggested taking them without medication. She said most cats, even the ones who don't like cars, threw a fit for 20 minutes or so and then calmed down. I took her...

After 24 hours, the cats have surprised me very much in their adjustment. Evie, who is normally so much more cautious, reserved and skittish, was fine by the end of last night. She was playing, cuddling, exploring confidently... she wasn't even like this in my old place! Alex, on the other hand...

I think this is mostly to get it out into the universe and off my chest, but I would appreciate any shared experiences, advice or comfort! I recently moved, and the past few days have been stressful for me and my kitties. I moved most things out of my home on Friday and got settled a bit in my...

First, I must say I love the responses here so far and that most everyone sleeps with their kitties! Second, I must give my experiences. I grew up in a household where it was unacceptable to let the cats sleep in bed with us. That being said, they were indoor/outdoor cats, and in that situation...

My childhood cat, who lived with my parents, passed last week. He was almost 19 years old, and he had a wonderful long life. Two days before he passed, it appeared as if his back legs just stopped working; he was dragging himself along. He somehow managed to get up to my youngest sister's bed...

I'm so sorry to hear about your kitty! That's a sad injury. I wish her a speedy recovery and no surgery! I don't have cat experience with this, but my parent's dog (my childhood dog) tore her ACL about a year and a half ago. The poor thing limped around for a little while and she was going to...

Ooooh no! I probably would have cried if my cat dropped a mouse on my face at 4:15 am, and I probably would have been horrified if I smelled dead mouse later! He was probably very proud of his gift to you, though

My kitties are fine alone for a weekend (from early Friday to late Sunday), but any longer than that and I have a pet sitting service that comes once or twice a day to play, feed and clean the litter box. I left it up to my SO (who I live with) to make arrangements for memorial day weekend when...

I recently had the same dilemma with my kittens, with a similar result described above by Golden Kitty. The vet assured us it was okay to leave them together as Alex had been neutered two months before, and at first he expressed some interest in satisfying her condition but quickly lost it. My...

Evie and I just got home from her pre-spay vet visit, and she's a healthy girl! That's great news... the bad news is that I'm so nervous to take her in tomorrow morning As a way to calm my nerves, I'm trying to prepare for bringing her home and coming up with ways to make her as comfortable...

Lol "urge to merge..." Love it. My neutered little man Alex does that to Evie sometimes, too. Kind of odd, I thought.

I'm so glad I saw this! It would've completely slipped my mind. I'll have to make arrangements to get out of the city tomorrow night if it's not too cloudy My family has a cabin in northern Michigan where I've spent many nights watching the stars from the dock; on a calm clear night...

I'm so sorry you and your family are going through this. I'm sending lots of good vibes to you all

Alex is curled up on my chest right now with his head resting against my face, as he does nearly every day in the late morning. I hate to bother him, and I sure am comfy myself, but he'll stay here literally for hours if I let him. Hmmm... cuddle with my sweet kitty or venture out into the...
