    Throwing Up - Can't Figure Out The Cause

    Oh, that is very sad. I hate having a sick animal and feel so bad for him. Fortunately I have a very good new vet that I feel comfortable talking to about this issue. And I like your suggestion about getting a scan or X-ray to see if there is something going on. This is a new problem for...

    Why does my cat avoid my niece?

    Thanks for the responses. Yes, him and I did have quite a bit of alone time...so there is a very strong bond. Luckily he is not skittish, just very disinterested in her. I will continue to let her give him treats, etc...in the hopes of one day he shows her some affection. ;-) Cheers.
