    4.5 month old kitty had FIP

    I wasn't really able to find much info on FIP on the net when I was looking back when Jasper was still around. Nothing that really defined what it was. Again, I've lived with cats my entire life so I know when something is going on and if it's treatable but this was my first (and HOPEFULLY THE...

    My "kids"!

    The funny thing is her original name her previous owners gave her was actually "Lucy Goosey". At least that's what was listed on the adoption papers and her little sign she had on her cage at the shelter. She just didn't fit "Lucy Goosey".

    4.5 month old kitty had FIP

    Eek. Who knows really! The vet didn't give us an indication what type of FIP it was. They just "suspected" that it was FIP (according to two of the vets at our vet clinic). I have lived with cats all of my life and have never heard of FIP or known someone who has had a cat that had FIP until...

    4.5 month old kitty had FIP

    I don't think he had the wet form then. His abdomen wasn't filled out at all - he was skin and bones. He didn't eat much at all (and the kitty we have now just chows down!) only bits and pieces here and there. He was fine for the first two weeks or so and then all of a sudden he just became...

    My "kids"!

    I love them both so much. Ricky loves to cuddle - he won't even eat in his room unless me or my husband are with him and Lucy just wants food altogether. Lucy has been in two different homes before ours and has had a rough life. We adopted her when she was six years old and is an absolute...

    Have been sick three times in three months... odd?

    Unfortunately I cannot get throat swabs done. They tried about a year or two ago when I was sick and lost my voice. I almost threw up on the doctor! Ever since then they refused to take throat swabs. My mom is the same way. I'm just wondering if it's all the stress that's happened last year...

    4.5 month old kitty had FIP

    KittKatt - do you know what the difference between the wet and dry form of FIP are? I tried to find out as much information about it before when Jasper was alive but it was too late to do anything plus I just became sick to my stomach anytime I read anything about FIP before he was put down...

    Have been sick three times in three months... odd?

    Hi all! I'm hoping someone can help me with this. I started feeling almost flu-ish a few months back (November), runny nose, very sore throat, white tonsils, etc. I managed to get over it in about a week or so. A month later, I developed another cold where I completely lost my voice, white...

    4.5 month old kitty had FIP

    Absolutely. A few people criticized us for how much we spent on a cat that was dying (hey he was family plus it was less than $1000 which the shelter reimbursed us on) but it wasn't fair at all to just put him down without doing everything we could in our power. He was only four months old...

    Question of the Day Jan. 10

    I have two cats at home. One who we adopted a few years ago and who has had a rough life before (she was in two homes before ours!). She comes when she wants to cuddle but really she's my girl in the end. All she thinks about is food and then cuddles. Then there's Ricky, who is only 8 months...

    My "kids"!

    My husband and I have two cats.. Lucy and Ricky (we adopted them at different times so we didn't mean to reference the "I Love Lucy" show but it happened anyway). This is Ricky: This is Lucy:
