Our new adopted kitty, Apult came with a case of herpes. We've barely had him six weeks and he's already gotten an infection a second time. This time I caught it before it got too out of hand. He just has a fever and some discharge. Anyways, the vet suggested viraysis or something? The gel that...

So today I got the bad news of my girl being in renal failure. She's down to about 20% kidney function. The hard part is that this is a major issue because her low white blood cell count caused a problem with her paws, causing them to swell up and blister. Because of her low kidney function, the...

In this past week I have found myself the new parent of this cat. She has been passed through owners a lot recently. First she belonged to my boyfriends friend, who had a baby and could no longer take care of her. Then to my boyfriend, who because of housing situations couldn't have her around...

I'm trying to decide if I should be concerned about my cats eating habits at the moment. He did visit the vet yesterday for some diarrhea issues which have been solved for the most part. The last few days his appetite has been very strange and i don't know if it's something I should try to...

The last few days my cat, Ichi, had been dealing with a case of diarrhea. We took him to the vet yesterday to get it checked out and make sure there wasn't a bigger problem. The vet really didn't give us any answers as to why he was having besides it being a dietary change or something he ate. I...

I would love to have a better picture, but Ichi is off reeking Havoc so this will have to work.  Since his old brush seems to have gone missing I am in the market for a new brush and want to make sure I get the right one. I'd like to see if I can save money and not have to buy multiple...

I never really thought it would be a problem because as a kitten I thought Ichi wold be more of a medium-long haired cat. But as he's coming into his prime I've had to come to the realization that he is a full on long haired cat. He is the first actual long haired cat I have ever owned and I was...

I didn't know if I should post this in nutrition or here, but it seemed to be more about his behavior.  We just started moving into our new apartment yesterday, Ichi being the first thing to move.  The ten minute drive being traumatic enough for him, this new place also has another cat. ...

We are going to be moving in about two weeks and I wanted to surprise Ichi with a new toy to help him warm up to the new place. I was looking around at cat trees on amazon. But I am concerned that most of them would not support Ichis size and weight. And also that he won't be interested in it...

In about a month we are moving in with some one who also has a cat and we are going to have the house open to them both and the problem of feeding recently came to realization. We have cat #1: Our cat Ichi, he is about 1 year old, about 14 pounds and we free feed him dry food (averages about a...

My Ichi is more of a medium haired cat, but his hair is long enough to be considered long haired, especially on his belly/groin/behind. He is a very high energied/playful cat and this makes brushing somewhat hard, considering he tries to bite my hand/the brush when you brush him.  Anyways, my...

So I never really thought anything weird of this until today, when for the first time, my boy Ichi pooped outside of the box. But on top of a piece of toilet paper.   I'm thinking he may have accidentally went on it in the bathroom, then accidentally kicked it out. But my main concern is that he...

Apparently my little man needs to learn some manners. :|  It's nothing I can't clean up, and not really that hard to deal with. I just figured I'd see if there were any simple solutions.  So here is the problem: Ichi treats his litterbox like a mini playground. He scratches the litter box...

I've noticed a growing interest in water with my cat. When we take baths or showers I see him standing over the tub peeking in, and sticking his paw in. When we are out of the shower he jumps in and rolls around, and really likes when we dribble water on him.  I was curious if anyone else has...

Ah, well of course. The day after I told my boyfriends mom that she didn't need to offer to get Ichi declawed because he 'wasn't a scratcher' I catch him starting to scratch and pull at the carpet... So I am planning on investing in a cardboard scratcher but was wondering if there were any...

So it has come time that I realized that I really need to get Ichi neutered. He is nearing the 6 month mark. I am going to call and try to make an appointment somewhere tomorrow but I am really anxious about having the procedure done. I just get really worried he'll be in a lot of pain or be...

I have read a decent amount of forums on this subject, but I keep reading mixed messages and wanted to see if I could get maybe a more collective answer. My Ichi was abandoned by his mother at a really young age, because of this he has a nursing problem. He used to suckle on his brothers and...

So I just found out that when my current living arrangement ends, I am going to be moving in with my boyfriend and his mother again. Her kitty, Kermy is a grumpy old man. He is maybe 16-18 year old, which from the insane amount of human food she feeds him (lean cuisines, chips, basically...

With the first paycheck of the year coming in tomorrow it's about time I allowed myself to go crazy at the pet store for some more toys for Ichi and I was wondering if there were any specific toys anyone has had great success with. Ichi has a big thing for feathers, but there are only so many...

Hello! My name is Katy and my babys name is Ichi, and here is our story: Long story short, about three months ago my mother found four baby kittens abandoned by their mother in the rain behind her house. She brought them in, dried them off, kept them warm and gave me a call, coaxing me and my...
