I fed Kipper. I got him to take about 1.5 tablespoons of the water/canned food mush. He didn't seem to have the strength to fight me on it, normally he would have and probably would have won too. Then he slept for a couple hours and when DH got home, we offered him more food and this time he ate...

I talked to DH and we will take Kipper in the morning, assuming we can get seen on such short notice. I offered him the wet food watered down as you all suggested and he was completely uninterested. After I post this, I will try to force feed him that mixture, and then when DH gets home with the...

Thanks =) I just called every vet in the phone book and all of them are closed. There are 2 that have 24hr emergency services but that is reserved for established clients only, and I am not a client at either one. Although after this I'm thinking I should be so I can use the E-vet services if...

Oh, and if I can find an E-vet nearby I can take him tonight. But I can't drive and DH works all through the weekend. DH is already taking 2 weeks vacation starting Monday so I know he would not take time off even if I asked. The reason being that I am pregnant (I'm due tomorrow actually) and am...

Yes, Kipper and Klein are actual brothers. I've checked and Kipper does not seem jaundiced, which is good. Klein was badly jaundiced by the time I figured out he was was sick. I guess there is nothing more that indicated liver specifically but being that they are brothers I just keep thinking...

Kipper has been acting/looking strange for about a week now. The first sign that anything was wrong was that he stopped jumping (like onto furniture etc.). He injured one of his back legs as a kitten and has a hard time jumping anyway but had been doing alot better then out of nowhere he just...

My cats are going outside the box again. We had been doing so well but now it's worse than ever! We moved about 6 months ago, we are staying with my father-in-law while we wait for a pay out from my father's life insurance to buy a house. We hadn't planned on being here this long but the...

I believe that in New York State it is illegal to take a kitten from their mother before 8 weeks, breeder or not *unless* momma cat cannot or will not nurse the kittens, which was the case with this litter. Though I was the only person to get their kitten before 8 weeks, she was 6 weeks when I...

About the food, I'm not sure. This woman seems to know quite a bit about cats and kittens, and she had mentioned that Xiao Mei was on a supplemented diet because of her age and size prior to this, so I doubt that she would have let the kitten go without food long enough to cause a blood sugar...

I posted about my new siamese kitten, now named Mo, a couple of weeks ago. She has seen the vet since then, he performed a fecal smear and she came back clean, no worms, no nothing. He thinks her tiny size is due to the fact that she was the runt in a litter of 8 and wasn't big or strong enough...

I can handle her some. She will not tolerate being picked up and DOES NOT like having anything but her head and back touched, and the mats are on her side, low down toward her belly, so it's going to be difficult anyway. The position you speak of, I use often with my other cats for clipping...

This post is about Callie, one of my rescues. When I got her and her mother Missy, they were both horribly matted. They had been neglected and abused so after I clipped them out of both kitties with buzzers, I figured I wouldn't have to worry about their coat anymore. Well, here it is late...

I tried the bottle last night. At first she just wanted to play, so I squeezed a dot out and smeared it under her nose. Now that stuff must taste pretty similar to the real thing because as soon as she got a taste she instantly started burrowing into the blankets looking for a nipple. I put the...

A few weeks ago I saw an add on CraigsList for blue-point siamese kittens. I had one growing up, as did my mother, as did my grandmother, so since I am now expecting, I contacted the poster. We went 2 weeks ago to see the kittens and choose one. She said they would not be old enough to take home...

Alot of people have said this, but I also wonder, would they still place her with us, even temporarily, considering that her no good father who walked away from that place and left her there lives under the same roof? We are the only family she has that would be deemed fit and has the financial...

I get so emotional about this situation, it angers me to the point that I can't think or function. I have spoken to my fiance about it several times this week and every time I do I fall apart and start crying. I just spoke to him again, and let him know the feedback I've gotten from all of you...

My fiance and I are planning to seek custody of our niece after we get married. Let me give you some background and hopefully someone can point in the right direction as to where to begin. Katie is 3.5 years old. Her father is my future brother-in-law. When Katie was born, her mother was 16 and...

I love my cats and I take the best care of them that I possibly can, and that's all I can say. Just because I don't have time to scoop litterboxes 5 times a day and don't have room for a dozen boxes doesn't make me a bad mommy. If I'm not being attacked for one thing, I'm being attacked for...

Oh, and more to KatKisses. The LBs are in the bedroom, living room, and dining room. We try to scoop everyday but honestly that usually doesn't happen. The longest we let it go though is 3 days because that's about when I start to worry they will go on the floor because the box is too dirty...

No, my vet turned me away. He seemed to think that the idea of spaying her was laughable. He told me that no vet in his right mind would spay her in that condition. He said it's risky with a cat her age who is healthy and fit, let alone NOT healthy and fit. So I will be going through a low-cost...
