    Cat vomiting

    This evening, Myri has vomited twice.  The first time was pretty good size, and the second was a few minutes later and probably an aftershock.  Both times, it was pretty watery with good sized chunks of the food I feed her and Rodney (Max Cat Adult). When I got home from Thanksgiving (first...

    Sneezing a lot

    Myri, my new cat has been sneezing a lot again.  I expected it when I first got her and the adoption agency gave me some meds that should have taken care of the typical URI, but it's been about a month and she's started sneezing again.  Are there any other possible causes of sneezing (allergies...

    Older cat over-playing with new cat

    I've had Myri for about a month now, and she and Rodney spend most of the time with both having the run of the house.  The problem is that Rodney (who is at least 6 months older than her and quite a bit bigger) doesn't seem to understand that Myri might not want to wrestle around as much as he...

    Introduction didn't go well

    I've had Myri for two weeks now and am finally starting to try introducing her to Rodney. She snuck out of her room when I was going in and out a few times. The first two times, Rodney hissed at her, but the third, he just sort of followed her warily. I've also noticed that when I'm upstairs...

    Spaying and E-collar

    I just picked up Myri (my new cat) today. She just got spayed this morning, and the shelter gave me an e-collar. They said I need to keep it on her for a week, but she looks so miserable when she's wearing it. I took it off for a little bit while I was in the room with her so she could eat...

    Cat eats everything

    I've known for a long time that Rodney eats shoe strings and have more or less adapted to it now. However, last night, I found something else that I'm a bit worried about. He ate part of one of my blankets. Does anyone have any advice on how to keep him from doing this? It can't be good...

    Loading cats for transport

    Today, I tried taking Rodney to get his claws trimmed. I've never had any particular problems loading him into his carrier before, but today, he's been giving me all kinds of trouble. I think this is the first time I've tried to take him anywhere since he's taken to scratching at the TV...

    Energetic cat

    I've had Rodney for almost a year now and he's about 15 months old. However, he hasn't slowed down a bit. My family got a couple cats back when I was in middle school, but neither was (or is) as energetic as Rodney. I could use some advice on how to handle some of his more irritating...

    Rodney and I say hello

    I registered a while back but never got around to posting. I adopted my current cat Rodney almost a year ago. He's still a bit more energetic than I'd like, but I let him sleep with me most nights now. Of course, once I go back to a lighter blanket instead of my comforter, there's no...
