    Angus, keep running, boy

    One year ago you left me, right around now. If it's time to say goodbye to him can I hold him in my lap? Is it alright if I hold him? I held you and you let go. Thank you for choosing me, boy. And thank you for changing my life. You were so young, so brave. You were the only creature I loved...

    Is Wellness too rich

    for a cat w/ loose stool? My vet told me not to offer Ernie rice and chicken. I gave her a bit of Fancy Feast chicken in gravy after draining out a bit of the gravy.

    Ernie tries to eat my dinner

    My cat gets very excited when I sit down to eat. She climbs on my lap and swats at my hand as I go to put food in my mouth. And she waits for crumbs to fall. She licks the plate. After a few minutes, she calms down and watches me eat. The behavior can be annoying at times, but I am patient. She...

    New cat is under bed

    I brought my new cat home last night and she went under the bed and hasn't come out. I know this is a common behavior, but she hasn't even come out to use the litter box or eat. I placed the food a few feet from the bed so that she knows it's there. I also put a few treats down on the rug. How...

    Cleaning up after FIP

    Hello, I'm wondering if there's anything I should keep in mind while disinfecting my apartment after the passing of my cat that suffered from FIP. The shelter recommends I wait three months so that the virus dies off before adopting again, which I plan to do. It gives me time to keep things as...

    One month

    It's been one month since the passing of my cat, Angus. A year ago this week he came into my life. I adopted him. I remember the day he died so vividly. My mother picked me up and I said, "He always cries when he's in the carrier, it's not because he's in pain." The vet gave me all the options...

    paw wiping after using litter box

    angus has a mat right outside his litter box, but he steps out on the other side to avoid it and walks across the room to his food/wood dish placemat and wipes his feet there instead. i think it's cute and funny, and it doesn't really bother me. i don't really have a question i guess. i'm just...
