    Tiger who is an approximate 10 year old neutered male has thinning fur on his tail. Is this normal as cats age??? We believe him to be a maine coon mix and he always had that big fluffy tail.

    Shalimars Neuter

    Yesterday was Shalimars neuter. I dropped him off on my way into work (the vet is 5 mins from my work). Luckily I was very very busy at work so it helped keep my mind occupied.

    Early Morning Puking!!

    I have four kitties. All are indoor cats and eat a mix of dry/wet wellness food except for one that is on CD wet. Because of the one cat that has to be on a different food they are not free fed.
