Just a quick update on the saga of Molly & me... The shaker can is working out fine although she needs a lot of reminding. I'm beginning to think that some of her (our) problem is stress related. I've read that some cats have a low thresshold for stress and suspect Molly is one. A troublesome...

Thanks for the suggestions and the vote(s) of confidence. I know a cat with this much spirit must have a lot of heart ... and I'm desperate to break the behavior pattern without breaking the spirit. We're both crossing our fingers (paws) and hoping that establishing alternative behavior...

It's been over a year since my Frisky died and I have visited the forums. My husband and I brought a two month old kitty (we call her Molly) into our home recently and are experiencing some behavior problems that neither of us can figure out. I've never been without a cat in the home for more...

Saying good-bye is never easy. Tomorrow will be 3 months since I had to say good-bye to my 'baby'. He was a big part of my life for almost 16 years and he left a big empty place when he left us. You will be in my prayers. I can understand the grief that you are going through. It's never...

You are absolutely right that the decision whether or not to confine a cat indoors depends on the location ... and more importantly the cat and its owner. When Frisky first came to live with us sixteen years ago we also lived in a town with a fair amount of traffic. We automatically made the...

Another vote in favor of keeping your furry friends inside or at least in a supervised environment when outside! Having just lost (needlessly) my sixteen year old 'baby' less than two months ago I know that I would take what ever measures needed to ensure he was still with me. Sometimes we...

Thanks for the encouragement. I hope Frisky's story will help someone. I appreciate your good wishes and prayers. They all help. It will probably be a little while before we adopt another kitty ... but if we don't one WILL probably adopt us. We have taken in a few abandoned strays that have...

Thank you for your kind words. It is disheartening to realize how many vets (& doctors) are so willing to quickly jump to the wrong conclusions. There is quite a ministry and need in taking on a sick cat as you did. There are so many alternatives to euthanasia (sp?) today. I have even heard...

I haven't been in touch with the original vet yet. It was enough this past week just trying to get used to Frisky being gone. We had him with us nearly 16 and a half years (since he was 2 months old). I have been telling myself that I should have picked up on the vet's attitude and done...

I just had my 16 year old friend Frisky (domestic long hair) 'put to sleep' needlessly a week ago due to some very poor & out dated advice from the attending vet. I am posting this to urge any of you blessed with a feline friend TO GET A SECOND OPINION if your cat becomes sick. Frisky...

Hurrah for Chester! Having just recently lost my Frisky it is good to hear a success story. Also good to hear that Chester is off the propulsid. Two years ago I almost lost my husband to propulsid. It can be dangerous stuff. Even our pharmacist was releived to know it was being 'pulled'.
