I am so sorry for what you are going through--and to have no support from even your husband must be heart breaking. I am praying that you will heal well--spiritually and physically. Once you are healed, you may want to consider your options with your husband. If he is showing no compassion or...
I'm glad Holland is safe and sound. I hate that panicy feeling!
I've 'trained' my kittens to come when I shake a bottle of Pounce (a cat treat). It seems to be either an easy way to find a kitten that has been hiding all day or a good way to tell me I need to be worried. The one time my tabby...
...i'm not supposed to "catch 'em all". I'm itching to get a 3rd cat/kitten from the shelter to go with the two I already have, but my fiance has told me in no uncertain terms that I am NOT getting another until these two pass on. *sigh* I suppose other people should be allowed to rescue super...
Petfinder isn't bad--It links you to all of the area shelters and shows you whats available from them. That said, I almost got a pair of craigslist kittens, but the owner ended up giving them to her friend instead. I got the kittens that I have now from a shelter I found on petfinder.
My kitten, Faye's favorite place to take a nap during the day time is my computer keyboard, preferably when I am using it. Dora particularly enjoys the use of my neck as a body pillow at night, effectively immobilizing me. Where do your cats like to sleep that might not be as convenient for you?
You need to do the right thing for your cat. Could you imagine trying to heal on your own with a broken femur? The pain? It would be cruel to just 'let the cat heal on her own'. I agree with everyone else. come up with a payment plan and do the surgery, or put her to sleep. Anything else is...
I can assure you they can meow normally. My black cat meows loudly frequently. She's the most 'talkative' cat I've ever met. My tabby on the other hand has a meow that typically sounds like a bicycle squeak or is sometimes voiceless--she can meow 'normally', she just chooses not to. It all...
I completely understand. It's similar to some parents expecting their 2 year old to be miniature adults. I'm really enjoying their babyhood and am looking forward to seeing what they grow into.
Back to the topic, lately one of my kittens has taken to stalking me from one side of a box with me...
No, I don't truly think of them as 'monsters'. I have a tendency to add 'monster' to the end of a lot of nouns, for example 'deer monsters' or 'cow monsters'. I sometimes joke that my kids will grow up thinking that 'deer monster' is the proper term for deer. They are my babies and they are...
The cat I grew up with did that to me all the time. My favorite though (since Sheba and I shared a room) was when she would throw up on my bed while I was still there. Just to let me know who was boss, of course.
What was worse though was my grandparents' poodle that kept pooping right where I...
What is her activity level like? Is she eating and drinking?
My kittens are having some diarrhea issues-I'm taking mine to the vet on Tuesday.
I hope everything goes well with your kitten. She sounds like a sweetie.
I've only had my two new kitten monsters for a week now, so I'm not terribly familiar with their phobias...yet. Although, one REALLY hates baths. When I was younger, our family had a cat that just LOVED climbing into bags and was easily startleable. Sometimes, she'd get a handle stuck around her...
