    Construction next door. Advice please?

    I live in a 1 bedroom condo in a 4 story brownstone in the city, which I purchased 2 years ago. I have a lovely sweet kitty and a green cheek conure. I found out after purchasing my condo that they are building a 5 story apartment building next door with a garage underneath. Literally 100...

    How moody is your kitty?

    I hate it when Mario gets in one of her moods.  It just breaks my heart because I take everything personally! For the past 3 days Mario has really not wanted to be touched.  I go to rub on her and give her kisses and she gets up and walks away and goes to lie down in another spot.  She doesn't...

    Would like a new kitten - boy or girl??

    I've been thinking about getting a little friend for my 12 year old girl Mario.  She's sweet and even tempered...a pretty mellow girl.  3 years ago she used to live with her sister cat and a female German Shepard, but now she's a solo girl with just me.  (Her sister was the alpha cat) Mario is...

    Diary Of a Stubborn Cat!

    I thought it might be helpful to me and newbies if I start a thread documenting Mario's transition to raw like Carolina did.  Since I've never done this hopefully I'll offer and get offers of some great info here.  If this is successful maybe it will help will some stubborn kitties!  I'm going...

    Due for Rabies Vaccines

    Mario is due in a few months for her e year rabies vaccine.  I do not want to get it and she is an indoor cat.  I live on the 4th floor of a highrise apartment building so there is absolutely no way she will get outside, unless somehow on her way to the vet she escapes.  My vet does the 3 year...

    Oh dear - my problems with my little Mario have started to escalate! ***Now please keep in mind my ultimate goals is to put Mario on a raw food diet but at least get her eating wet food (Mario is a kibble addict with IBD)  I just am having a hard time getting there!*** So I took my little girl...

    Deep Respiratory Cough??

    For the past 3 weeks my Mario has had deep respiratory bronchial cough - it sounds phlemy and a little mucus-y.  So far I've only noticed that she will cough about once a day, maybe twice.  She's not wheezing or breathing with her mouth open.  She doesn't gasp for air.  She's fine after we play...

    Panera salad makes my kitty vomit! :-o

    I just love the Asian Sesame Chicken salad from Panera Bread, but every single time I've brought it home to eat, my kitty sniffs the salad and 5 minutes later she vomits.  The first few times I just thought she was having a vomiting spell (she's IBD and has had a history of vomiting).  The third...

    Chunks & gravy style grain / starch free wet food suggestions?

    For a little over 2 weeks now I've been trying to transition Mario onto wet food.  She's a complete kibble addict! So for about a week and a half I've been using the Soulistic Chicken & pumpkin.  She has gotten to the point where she will eat her kibble right next to the plate of wet food -...

    And it starts! Stinky wet food - looking for light smelling ones.

    Hi! It has been one week since I've undertaken the dry food to wet food journey, and my Mario is just as stubborn as ever!! I've presented her with at least 5 different wet food flavors, and she high tails it out of the room at the sniff of each one (accompanied by a little half sniff / half...

    Hello from me & my Mario!

    Hello everyone.  I'm new to this site and want to introduce myself and my precious 12 year old Mario.  She (yes - she!) is an IBD kitty and I am looking to wean her off of prednisolone and her dry food which she has been on all of her life.  She's one stubborn girl though so I know it's going to...
