Hi all, I am having issues with a new addition to my home. I called and arranged to meet with the owner of an 8 year old intact male Tom named Brisco, who belonged to an 87 year old lady who could no longer care for him. Unfortunately, after a few weeks, Brisco is forcing me to consider giving...

Hello all. I'm motivated to post this thanks to some articles I saw here about the Furminator! I have a problem with my big boy Plucky here: Plucky's a rescued Maine Coon crossbreed with a very, very, very thick coat. The problem is that it mats like crazy, forming thick "plaques" on his...

I’m hoping someone with a clearer head than mine will help me make the right choice for my little 1 year old guy, Stinker. Stinker frequently “hacks” after he drinks water. He also frequently vomits partially digested food with a small, ½ or ¾ inch piece of a hairball in it…not the whole thing...

I'm sorry if I ramble here. I'm crushed. I don't know how to handle this. In December of last year I took a new stray cat, barely out of his kitten years, into my home. I'd named him L'il Stinker. Some of you may have read a thread I wrote about brining him in. Well, he came into the home, and...

Hello all, I will make this brief; I currently have 4 cats who get along well. All are rescues. There's a 5th kitty now begging to be brought in to my home; he's about 5 months old, alone, and it's -20 degrees outside tonight (that's -4 farenheit for you american folks). I've been feeding him...

Greetings all! I have a serious problem with my 5 year old boy, Plucky. He's a stray I picked up from under a bush outside my house. Strictly an indoor cat. The problem is, he was about 1 year old when I found him. Although he has adjusted quite well to life indoors, there's no way he'll let me...

Hello all, I've been caring for a small family of 3 kittens since I noticed them under my back sundeck porch in May. Over the last 5 months they thrived (the kitties were getting the same Innova Evo/California Naturals diet I fed my own l'il guy, Plucky!) and they have grown to be adorable...

In early spring (late March I believe) I noticed a small family of cats living under part of my back yardâ€8482s deck. A mother and her 3 adorable squirming kittens could be seen plainly. I fed her as often as I could but she would hiss loudly and make it QUITE clear she didnâ€8482t want me...

Greetings everyone. I am trying to get my 2-year old rescued used-to-be-a-feral-now-he's-a-pampered-housecat to try new foods. Problem is I am having no success! This is what Plucky will eat now: Dry kibble: Royal Canin formula 33 (for fussy cats). Canned: Fancy Feast (junk food, given...

Hello all, After an almost year-long delay (caused by health and work problems), my little Plucky went for his neutering operation on Tuesday. At the same time, the vet shaved his tail down to the skin (except for a little tuft at the tip) because Plucky, being very virile and all, had a bad...

Hulloo all, About 6 weeks ago, I found a cat lying behind a bush next to our house. I appraoched him slowly, knelt down and petted him; he huffed but did not raise his head, and I could see some blood in the fur around his neck. I fed him some tuna, then went and bough cat food at the store...
