Thank you everyone for your thoughtfulness. I had a dream last night, that I came home from work and Peaches was waiting for me at the door. She was all fluffy and beautiful with bright eyes, like she was most of her life. I didn't want to wake up but Maxx jumped up on my bed and stuck his face...
Thank you everyone for your thoughts and support. I'm sure you can understand right now that I'm just drained. It's been a long, emotional 4 days. The guy from the crematorium came to pick Peaches up and I couldn't even cry. I think I cried so much the last few days, I just didn't have anything...
Peaches died peacefully overnight of old age. She passed laying on top of her cat tree, where I left her last night. She was approximately 17 years old.
12 years ago I met Peaches at a humane society adoption center called, Furburbia. She was in a room size cage with a few other cats, laying...
I know I haven't posted in awhile (I do read) and I don't really deserve to be posting. But my 17 year old Peaches (approximate age), is dying of old age. I've been watching her fade away the last 4 days and the time is near. She ate up until Friday or Saturday morning and would drink water up...
Congrats on your new addition! A comb works better on long haired cats and it would be good to get her used to one now. If you plan on bathing your cat this is the time to get her used to that as well. It really does help keep down the shedding and the matts. But it's your choice and certainly...
So darn cute! Coats just take a long time to grow out. The longer the coat the longer it takes (obvious I guess). It can take 6 months to a year for a cats coat to come back in full. There really isn't anything special to do except keep it matt free and clean.
Your cat is gorgeous! I agree with the others though. It's important that the cat is kept away from things such as glue and other craft items. Other then that, if you choose to bathe your cat every once in awhile she will get used to it. Sometimes it takes a few times but in my experience they...
If you get one,you may consider getting one that is a little higher priced that has the carrier as part of the stroller. I love mine. It's kind of like a baby stroller that the car seat fits into.
You can get fish oil supplement at any pet food store and many grocery stores that is just for cats. This would help ensure you're not giving something that could be dangerous to your cat. Humidity was mentioned and that's another good suggestion. I know this is going to sound contradictory, but...
Maxx would love it if Miss Patchwillow would accompany him to the Valentines day ball. He has freshened up his best black and white tuxedo and can't wait to see Miss Patchwillow again!
Miss Peaches would be honored if Severino would attend the Valentines day ball with her again! She thinks her...
You have a bit of a problem because these cats are feral. (I've been told by people here there is no such thing as a semi feral but rather feral and strays.) One of my Persians sometimes get poop hung up in their fur by their butt. It's usually either when they have either the runs or...
Which a cat seems to be able to do in just about anything!
I think a leash and harness for a cat is totally acceptable if the cat doesn't spook easily! You're lucky you have a feline only vet! That's awesome!
I always take my cats to the vet in a carrier. All the vets I've been to require either a carrier or a leash (for dogs). I've seen people carry their pets in and in my opinion, it's not very responsible. Cats can get spooked by just about anything and especially by strange dogs. And they are...
Your cat is beautiful! But I don't understand why she needs her fur cut? I would not recommend you try cutting her fur with scissors. There is too much of a chance of tearing that thin, delicate skin! You really need to know what you're doing when you trim or shave a cat. If you can't find a...
