Hi everyone! So it's finally that time, my Jasper's old cat tree has become so shredded that it's in sore need of replacement. He likes to climb so I'd like to find something at least 3 feet tall, preferably taller. He's also a large cat and very active so I need to find something that won't tip...

Thanks! I feel better now. I'm such a worry wort, he's been through a lot considering his age. We tried oral medication and steroid injections before going for surgery which was the last resort. The spots were so itchy for my poor baby, we had had to keep him in an e-collar to keep him from...

Hi there! My 2 year old tuxedo cat had surgery about a month ago to remove some benign tumors from the front of his legs. He's doing just fine now but the incision area is pretty big, about an inch and half long on the front of each leg. The fur around the incisions that was shaved for surgery...

Hello, I'm hoping to find some advice here on how to help a cat with separation anxiety. I have a 1 year old cat who is attached to me at the hip. He gets very upset when I leave him and the second I return he's right at my heels begging for attention. This usually isn't an issue when I'm just...

I had a cat that I lost last year to crf and he was on fluids too. Unfortunately in his case, it progressed more rapidly than the vet thought or expected and we had to make that hard decision to let him go. However, I would never have considered stopping the sub-Q fluids even at the end. I...

I do try to pick up everything I can but in the case of the bracelet, I had set it on my dresser when I went to take a shower. I had every intention of putting it back on afterwards like always but this one time I forgot and he took advantage

Just here to update! I got home today and it looks like that bracelet finally made its way out. I found the missing pieces in a small pile of throw up on my floor. It's pretty amazing it stayed in his stomach that long but it's a relief that I don't have to worry about it anymore. He seems...

I'm so sorry for your loss. I know how it feels to lose a cat so suddenly like that. Ib went through the same thing last summer with my cat Amber. She seemed fine but I came home o find her lying on the floor barely breathing. She died only 30 minutes after I rushed her to the vet.

I wish that I had found this forum sooner as I'm sure it would've helped me a lot when I really needed it last summer. Although they've been gone for months now, I still find myself accidentally calling my other cat by their names, or expecting Tiger to jump up on the sofa to nap with me. Tiger...

Good luck to you both! I went through a bad sickness with my dog in December and I know how frustrating it can be not knowing all the answers. My dog is much better now but still on the mend and far from his usual self. He has a very promising outlook though! (If only I didn't have such a hard...

A harness is a great idea as long as you're there to supervise. One suggestion about putting it on though is you HAVE to make sure it's tight enough. If you can fit two fingers under the straps, that's fine, even if it looks a little tight, he'll be fine. I know from personal experience that...

My cat Magic is 10 years old and has chewed on plastic bags for as long as I can remember. It's never been a problem, she just seems to like the crinkly sound of it. We've never had to do anything about it but shoo her away when we find her doing it. She hasn't had any health problems because of...

Hi everyone! I'm a college student living with my mom and we have 2 cats, one that is 10 years old (Magic) who belongs to my mom, and one that is 10 months old (Jasper) who belongs to me. This past summer, we had 3 cats and we lost our oldest one Tiger to renal failure. Distraught, we found...

This sounds very similar to what happened to a cat I had when I was little. He had always been overweight his entire life and when he got older he suddenly started losing weight and wanted to eat everything in sight. We found out it was hyperthyroid disease and unfortunately there was nothing...

Hi there! I'm writing because I'm looking into getting an out of state internship this summer and I'm thinking I might have to take my 10 month old kitten Jasper with me. During December, I went to visit my dad for a week, leaving Jasper in the care of my mom because my stepmom is very allergic...

Thanks for all the feed back. I've had dogs injest things before and the vet has always just said to keep an eye on them for signs of lethargy, not eating/drinking, and not going to the bathroom normally so I think that's what I'm going to do. I hate the thought of rushing him to the vet for...

Hi everyone I'm posting because my 10 month old kitten Jasper seems to have a penchant for eating non-edible things. A few months ago, he got into my clothes hamper and ate the straps off of two of my tank tops including the small metal piece that was on one. I looked all over the room but...
