So, my 14.5 year old cat has been having issues the last couple of years. She started vomiting two years ago, and I took her to the vet, and it was her thyroid. She has been pretty good until this summer, and then she started vomiting a lot again. We have changed up her current dosage, and it...

Hello, I have a new foster cat that is super sweet. Right now he is on my lap. He is a year old, and he was an owner surrender to the shelter. I think I gave figured out why. He is very bitey and always playing. If you are on the ground with him, he will attack your hand. He just doesn’t...

Hello I took on two sweet foster kittens back in September, little orange tabby girls I named Pumpkin and Butternut. They were pulled from a rural shelter. When they came to me, Butternut had a cold. It took a couple of weeks, but eventually, it went away. We realized they probably both had...

Hello - I took in an orange tabby mama Autumn and her two little orange girls for my rescue a little over a week ago. One of the kittens, Butternut, had a cold when she came to me. The other one, Pumpkin, was fine. I've been giving Butternut her meds. The other kitten Pumpkin started getting...

Hi there Quick backstory. I have two cats Violet (9) and Ellis (5). They have lived together for 4 years. They don’t love each other. Ellis is a bit dominant. Violet just wants to be left alone. I recently fostered and failed with a cat Finn (2). I’ve introduced Finn to the other two over...

I am having a bit of an issue with my two cats these days. I feed them wet twice a day, early in the morning before I work out and late afternoon when I get home from work. That used to equate to 6 am and 5 pm. Life changed for us a bit, and I moved twice in a span of six weeks. The first...

My older cat developed a bald spot on the back of her neck. I was moving houses at the time. I assumed it was stress related. Two weeks have passed and life has calmed down a bit, but I noticed the bald spot is bigger. Two things: 1 my cat is impossible to get to the vet. To just get...

Hi there My two cats (Violet 7 years old and Ellis 3 years old) have never been best friends. Ellis will pounce on Violet when she is sleeping or not looking. Will sometimes chase her. Violet hisses, but there are no fights. I try to stop him when I can, I know this happens when I am not...

i was at the vet today with my large cat, and they sent me home with this. They want my cat to diet and to be on this. Any thoughts? She was on Wellness dry and Fussy Cat, and the vet just wants her to eat this dry.

Hi there I started fostering a very sweet black cat named Lexi last week. 7 years old and very dainty. From what I can tell, she started having some problems, and her owner took her to the vet. When she was diagnosed with urinary tract problems, her owner dumped her at the shelter. The vet...

Hi there I had my 5 year old Violet eating a pretty good diet of canned Fussy Cat and Newman's Own dry.  She was doing pretty good, but then I brought in my new cat Ellis.  He came with Purina Pro from the shelter.  I kept him on it because I didn't want to change him over too fast.  I...

I have a five year old cat, and in March I took in a one year old foster. I adopted my foster in April. Introductions went pretty well. My five year old hissed a bit. Over time though, I have noticed my new cat stalking and pouncing on my old cat. He does it when we are all asleep on the bed in...

So, I've had my foster for about a month now. He is about one. I have his history now too. He was originally part of a feral colony. My rescue took in him and a few others. He has been living at the rescue for six months. They asked me to foster so that he could experience life on a home. He...

Hi there I took in a new foster yesterday.  The only back history I have is that about 6 months ago he was part of a feral colony.  My rescue took him and two others in.  They have had him in the cat condos at the center for the last couple of months.  They asked if he could come to my house...

My 15 year old cat Penny has gotten tiny.  Back in 2010, she was around 11 pounds.  By 2011, she was down to 9 pounds.  At my 2012 vet visit, she was down to 7.5 pounds.  This year in 2013, she was down to 6.5 pounds.  My old vet has said that she was fine.  She was just old.  That all being...

Hi there. I have two cats: Penny, 13, and Violet, 2. Penny has always been a good eater. She has thrown up in the past, but I found Orijen the other year, and she loved it. So did my other cat Violet. We have been doing really well, but this spring, Penny started to lose weight. I started to...

I admit. I knew she was bigger, but when seen through the eyes of love, it just looked like more of her to love. Anyway, the vet became very stern with me. She is only a year old, and he wants her on the right foot. Right now she is at 15 pounds. My slight delimma is that portly young...

Two months ago, I took my kitten to the vet cuz she was itching her ears. He said she had ear mites and gave me drops. I had to use them on both her and my other cat twice a week for a month. Picture me twice a week wearing oven mits straddling my cats on the kitchen floor trying to get the...

Hi there I have a 11.5 year old cat who has always been in pretty good health. I adopted a kitten around 4 months ago. Things have been going ok, but I have noticed lately that my older cat seems to take a while to jump onto the bed or couch. I thought she was just worn out from playing...

Hi I'm new here. I've been trolling and found that it was finally time to post. I have a 11 year old cat Penny I adore. This summer I rescued a kitten, Violet. I worked very hard to integrate the two. They have now been living together for four months, and things are going "ok". The main...
