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 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...

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...

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...

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...

Has anyone gone apartment hunting lately? I mean, wow. It is nearly impossible to find crazy-cat-lady-friendly apartments. I've found a few that say it's okay, then they're like "You have how many?! Maybe not...". Or they require an additional deposit of up to $300 PER PET. With 8 cats and a dog...

This morning when I wake up, I hear no pitter-patter of little feet stampeding through the house. No dishes being knocked off the counter. No newpapers rustling on the coffee table. No crunching of food. No digging in the litterbox. I think, "Oh, my goodness there must be a carbon monoxide leak...

Simon and his sisters turned 5 months old on December 30th and Simon got neutered this past Sunday the 3rd. He is active, and eating and drinking normally. Since he got home he has become extremely affectionate. Can't tell if he's in pain or just happy to be home or what. He went from being a...

This post is about Kipper's brother Gary, who resides with my parents and younger siblings. He is 4 years old, a medium-haired tuxedo who weighs a little over 20 punds. He does have a vet appointment for Wednesday, but I am just trying to get some insight until then. For several weeks now Gary...

My eleven year old Missy is an avid sprayer. It just started recently, after I got Armani. Missy went into heat at his arrival and with that came the spraying. I thought it would stop once the heat was over but it hasn't. Armani had sprayed a bit before he got neutered, and I thought maybe she...

I am currently the proud mother of 8 cats and a Chihuahua puppy, but my fiance and I are planning to start trying for a baby in the next month or two. We are going to get married at City Hall, no ceremony as we don't have the time or funds to devote to it, but we are waiting until after tax...

I have included the link to my first post about these 2 kitties for those who don't remember the state they were in when they came to me:http://www.thecatsite.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=203397 Missy is doing great, using the litter box all the time now and not chewing things anymore. But this...

So Mira's babies are a little over 5 months old now and still suckling from her. I would estimate that mommy's milk still makes up 1/4 to 1/3 of their diet. Is this normal? Mira's sister Kiki also had a litter and her kittens transitioned to dry food in half the time it took Mira's, and now at...

Whew! Been busy with this guy! For those who didn't read the previous post or have forgotten, Armani is my newest addition. My fiance found him on the side of the road just moments after he was dumped there by his previous owner, poor thing. He is all white, short-haired, with one blue eye. And...

A week or 2 ago I was trying to adopt a beautiful boy named Mystery. He was white with one blue eye and one yellow. Just gorgeous. I couldn't help myself and immediately applied to adopt him...and was shot down about a hundred different ways. Today my fiance went to visit his father who lives...

She's always been a very thin cat. Just very sleek and small, kind of like a Siamese. After she had the kittens she seemed exceptionally skinny but I figured it just seemed that way to me because I had gotten so used to seeing her round belly. But in the past few weeks since then she has only...

We introduced Callie to Kiki's kittens today. She sniffed them all for a very long time; I was worried she didn't like them and kept a close eye on her. After about 5 minutes though, she started bathing them all one at time. Then when she was done with that she laid down and let them suckle her...

Mira's litter is almost 6 weeks old now, and Kiki (my roomie's cat and also Mira's sister) had hers today. There are 3, 2 female and 1 male, just like Mira's litter. The girls are both orange, the boy is pure white. It's ironic how I've been looking for a white cat, and just applied to adopt...

I know I shouldn't. But I'm in love. I might die if I'm not approved to take him home. This is Mystery. He is 8 years old, neutered and declawed. He is deaf and blind in one eye. And, yes his eyes are 2 different colors. I think he is just GORGEOUS. His last family had him his whole life...
