    vomiting hairball - butter or vaseline?

    I dont mean to highjack the thread but anyone use Petromalt? 4 days before Aki died the vet told me to give him a long 3-5 inch strip of it encase it was hairballs. It was enough to clean him out the next day and make stools mushy so I stopped there. Guess I'm asking if it can cause stomach...

    What happens when you can't pay your mortage?

    I know someone since October that could no longer make house payments and I wonder if anyone can walk me through the process. Sounds like working with the lender to greatly lower monthly payments didnt work and some denial letter came. Anyone know how long you have to work with? My concern is...

    Another 'stop feeding the cats' note from my complex

    I had this problem here at my complex back in 2005 and I admit it was my heart not my head that got me into it. I started feeding three, which soon became seven, which before winter came was 14. It was out of control and when I got a good look at them they were clearly very sick and aggressive...

    I would NEVER feed cat food to my cat - personal opinion

    Hmm, good question, I will look into that. thanks sharky. Honestly I dont know how I would go on if I found out my apartment, I was responsible in some way. Aki was once in lifetime.

    Is there a certain breed/color you have a weakness for?

    When my dad found aki burnt inside one of dealership's car hoods he called me. I have to admit I judged him by his looks, even caked with dark debris in both ears and tar and stones stuck to his little burnt paws he was gorgeous. Always a sucker with the orange and white. The white pattern...

    The MOST annoying dreams!

    Oh thank the stars I'm not only one. What's even worse for me living in an apartment is sometimes I dream someone is knocking on my door and I actually get up prepared to yell at someone for waking me up in middle of night but no one is there and I all confused for awhile. Though I will take...

    I would NEVER feed cat food to my cat - personal opinion

    Yeah according to my sister her cat went back to normal when she went home and it was her own kibble. My sister thought I may have been right 12 years is way too long to rehome a cat and she was stress vomiting, the cat surely was majorly depressed without her. Same thing with my first cat I...

    Two 16 year old cats

    While like others I commend you, your going to need alot of room for space. Its like putting your 90 year old grandparents in with your toddlers 24/7, the seniors will need long break periods from young-lings. Completely different worlds and at best they likely have two more years left in them...

    I would NEVER feed cat food to my cat - personal opinion

    My first cat the last few months of her life the vet wanted her on wet food as her weight was dropping so low and no vet could tell me why but then the vomiting started to the point one day she vomited clear shiny white foam, tilted her head and died. My second cat was a never ending nightmare...

    Should I take my sister's 12 year old cat?

    Why did my sister's cat who only ate like 20 of her hard kibble sporadically for 30hrs vomit three times though? The stress? I see a pattern here either alot cats vomit easily or I am kinda cursed with it or there is something wrong. I checked my paint its post lead days, my water is special...

    Should I take my sister's 12 year old cat?

    Wow was this a mistake. She is back with my sister. 48hrs of howling, vomiting her dry kibble and complete sadness. Any longer and I feared I was about to watch a second cat die in less then 40 days. As I thought you just dont do this to a 12 year old cat. I had tears in my eyes watching her...

    Should I take my sister's 12 year old cat?

    The day after aki my 2 and half year old cat died she offered me her senior cat. I was offended in multiple ways and shocked as you just dont do that to a cat of that age. Both her and my dad keep bringing it up, now my dad claims he is going take her as my sister's dogs are just too rough with...

    I'm so frustrated and upset right now.

    Reglan stomach motility pills, they give that to cats? I was on that for two days, had to be the worst drug in the hundreds I been on in my life and most of my gastroparesis group cant tolerate it either. It turned the world bleak, gave me very bad thoughts/outlook on life, uncontrollable body...

    I'm so frustrated and upset right now.

    I wish you and your little one well. Having lost two cats now last two years and mad vet costs with no real answers on either one I can relate to the frustration. I dont think I'd run to the vet so much knowing what I know now, they just seem to guess too much while taking your money and...

    My young cat aki has died

    I look at these other apartment cats, only offered generic dry food, never been to a vet since spay/neuter, some with chain smokers and they are 11-15 years old. Maybe it was overboard all this premium wet food and vet trips. It was my first time doing wet only and not sure I would do that...

    My young cat aki has died

    Why? I just don't understand, its 2010 and everything science can do it could only make guesses for poor Akihiko, one of most amazing animals I ever meet. A cat barely 30 months old, it just isn't right. The apartment is cold, lifeless and empty. I'm past hyperventilating but I so sick to my...

    Vomiting, refusing Z/D food now

    Is it true that the yellow fluid is probably bile which indicates liver function problems? Or do those that had major hairball issues see yellow liquid too?
