Don't let me forget he hasn't presented any secondary health issues that normally arise with failing kidneys. It's just one small non-functional kidney and one inflamed one right now. His labs weren't even crazy high like you'd see with cats who's owners are told that it's near the end.

I took him home Wednesday night. His creatinine levels were down tremendously after they were finally able to give him aggressive fluid treatment late Tuesday night thru Wednesday night. Literally down to almost 2pts to 3.7. As nice as the doc was she kept telling me that after three full...

Also his vitals have been good during this situation.

Wanted to include that Prada is around 15 years old. He used to be my ex-gf's cat and I got tired of seeing her shuffle him between places (she was always moving), so I asked her to give him to me.

Hi everyone. Been a long time since I frequented this site. Unfortunately I come at time when things are not so great. My oldest cat Prada has Acute Kidney failure and I'm trying to sort everything out. It's been a whirlwind 72 hours that has tested me in ways I haven't felt in a long...

Well is saddens me to report that my sister's cat was put to sleep at 3am last night.  I'm just kind of in shock right now after what has been a really emotional 10 days or so.  When we originally brought him into the vet about a week and a half ago he was diagnosed stage 4 kidney disease along...

I don't even know if this is the right forum for this, but I'm really struggling with guilt right now.   My sister and her cat have lived with me for the past 3-4 years.  About two weeks ago he suddenly wasn't acting right and dropping weight.  We found out on Monday that he's in the late...

I bought the turkey and chicken pate one for them a couple days ago ..... the older one ate it, but the stubborn one wouldn't touch it.

For the longest time my two cats were free fed Pure Vita grain-free dry cat food.  About 2 months or so ago I decided to switch them to Blue Buffalo Tempting Tuna Grill wet food (the pate). Immediately both cats were all about it, couldn't get enough of it.  I'd feed them early in the morning...

EDIT:  Nevermind guys.  I finally brought it up to my sister and she just texted me back saying it's some drops she puts in his water to aid digestion.   I guess that makes sense ..... I mean the yellow discoloration didn't smell like piss.  False alarm.

OK this is the most bizarre thing I've seen.  I live with my sister and we have 3 cats (2 are mine, 1 is hers).  Their food/water areas are separate.  I have the one for my cats in my room and she has the one for her cat in her room.  Within the past couple of months I've noticed her cat has...

Yes, I'm up at 4am MST .... and guess what? My cat is now urinating in the litter box again. I switched his litter back to the Tidy Cat and removed the cover and it's back to normal now ......

I took him to the vet. No abnormal temperature or anything. I explained the scenario and got them a urine sample, but won't know until tomorrow morning. Regardless, I've been tracing back to when we moved into this new place and it has occurred to me now that he's had been urinating the...

Ya, I'm going today ..... How do they get rid of them?

Isn't it hard for a male to get those? BTW, did you notice any other behavior problems when they had them or differences in how they acted?

I just caught my one caught doing it again on my bathroom rug. Seriously this is not like him. Have never had this issue before.

It's now the 3rd month my sister and I have been at the new place. The cats (all males) have gotten along fine. However, a problem has developed. We had a large rug in the living room. We tried switching up the litter to pine litter when we first moved in, but my cats wouldn't go anywhere...

Interesting. I never knew that. I just always figured male cats would be extremely territorial ones.

Just wanted to update about my move. Well the cats are getting along more quickly than I expected here at the new place. The first couple days though were a headache. My two cats were constantly hissing and growling at each other, which I found odd since they have lived together for almost 3...

As it turns out, I'm going to be moving into the new condo. Deliberated long and how about it (for all kinds of reasons), but now I'm going to have to figure out how to go about this situation. How do we work this? My sister was talking about moving in first and letting her cat get...
