Hi, Welcome to the cat site. This is an awesome place for cat lovers. I've learned a great deal about cat care and more. I hope to see around, even though I might not come to forums as often as I'd like (hectic life!). I have two 11 year-old tabby cats, Max and Mia. They're a handful but I...

I enjoyed the article very much. Thank you for sharing. When I was little our family cats were named Capullo (flower bud/cocoon in Spanish) and Trapito (Spanish for little rag). Now my two kitties have "boring" names: Max and Mia. Oh well, maybe if I have more kitties in the future I'll get...

Zeus is in my thoughts and prayers. I went through a similar ordeal with my cat Mia (she had a thymoma removed) and I know how stressful it is. It's a good that you're seeking a second opinion. I hope everything goes well.

Thanks Nance, I'm very happy with the results. Claudia

Hi all, I just wanted to give you an update on Max's constipation. It's been now three months since I asked for advice to help relieve Max's constipation. I tried several of the suggestions and they all worked to some degree, but what worked best was changing the type of food I was feeding my...

I don't have a special room for my two cats, though I wish I could. However, they pretty much like ruling the entire apartment.

My cat has not tried to drink my soda (yet), but did ate from my ice cream (which I had left on top of the kitchen table). Now every time he sees me eating yogurt or ice cream he starts meowing and asking me for some. Of course, I never give him any, but I find it amusing. I thought cats...

Absolutely! My cats appear at the oddest places, even when just a second ago those places were empty.

I've enjoyed reading this thread very much. Even though, like most of you, I'd rather have my kitties stay furry, it's fun to think about how they'd be if they were human. Max would be such a flirt, he loves human girls as it is. He'd be very spoiled too. Mia, on the other hand would be very...

Max loves a big fat mouse toy my sister bought for him. He doesn't like the small mice toys. He also loves cardboard boxes, the less he fits in them the more he likes them. I just get a kick every time he tries to fit into those too-small-for-him boxes. My other cat, Mia, loves small mice...

Max sleeps next to me. It's so comforting to feel that little furball by my side.

I've read that cats respond better to short names than to longer names. But I guess it all depends on your personal preferences. You can choose cat names based on their appearance or personality. My cat's name is Max (he's a tabby). I like Socks, too. Other names off the top of my head: Leo...

Both my cats will jump into my lap but never into my arms. Well, actually Max jumped into my sister's arms once. He'd gotten out of our apartment and got lost so my sister and mom went looking for him and I guess he was so happy to see them when they found him that he just flew into her arms.

Max wakes me up too early in the morning and he also wants to eat from my food. I've never given him human food so I don't know why he keeps trying. He also gets upset when I don't give him his food in time. He starts running around my apartment, jumps on top of my furniture and starts toppling...

I understand perfectly. I too keep a chair next to the window for my cats. It's so funny how they manage to make their preferences known.

I made an appointment with the vet for this Saturday. I'll keep you posted.

My max only had the blood test done. He does pee normally (big puddles), and drinks lots of water. His stool is usually small. However, I'll ask the vet for a urinalisys as suggested just to be on the safe side. Thank you furbum for the heads up.

My prayers go out to you and your baby. I hope he continues to feel better. Big hug Claudia

Hi all, Thank you for all the great advice. I'll try one thing at a time for a few days (or weeks), starting with the pumpkin and see how that goes. I wasn't too sure about the prescription food that's why I decided to ask you guys. And I'm glad I did. Blaise, thank you for the links, I've...

The vet ran a blood test back in August and she said he's healthy. Max used to be chubby so we cut down on the food. But the problem persisted. The vet said to change the diet since he's over 10 years old now, so we tried adult cat food (Iams) and Friskies Senior. That didn't solve the problem...
