    goopy eyes

    My cat has had really goopy eyes since we got her. She was 2 months then, now shes 4 months.

    will she be to lonley?

    She has manx syndrome, and believe me if there was some sort of surgery or medication to fix her we would have done it no matter the cost. The good news is that my boyfriends mom called today and said that she was adjusting well. So I'm happy about that. And thank you all for your responses...

    will she be to lonley?

    yeah I was thinking about that, but I'm not sure I can afford it right now...adoption fees and shots get pretty expensive. Plus I'm afraid I'll get a new kitten and they won't become friends. Some cats just don't like each other. Or are they young enough right now that it doesn't matter?

    Who should get fixed first?

    I don't know if you've looked into it or not. But in my area if you are low income the shelters will give you a voucher and you only pay 10 bucks for spay/neuter service at the vet of your choice. I've heard of similar programs elsewhere as well. It's probably worth asking around about, then you...

    Cute things your cat does

    My cat Nola is a Manx so she has these really long hind legs. If you dangle a string or something across the room. She will come running, and jump at least three feet in the air to catch it. I really need to get in on video sometime.

    Purina ONE Healthy Kitten Formula vs. Kitten Chow

    from reading this site I know that food heavy in fish is not good for cats. The regular kitten foods first ingredient is fish, where-as the healthy kitten food has chicken as the main ingredient which is supposedly better for them and easier to digest.

    bloody poop

    She does have worms. the long skinny white kind. I just didn't know that caused bloody poop. she got a de-wormer not too long ago. Is it possible that they are still being flushed out? Also this is her second de-wormer. Does it take a few rounds before they are completely gone?

    I got her from a friend. My friends kitten had kittens. At 6 months she took her to the vet to get spayed and found out she was pregnant. So she was neither a breeder, or a backyard breeder. It was just an accident. We went over to see them one day and fell in love with the little tailless...
