I won't even go into the guilt issues, but I do feel guilty.
He threw up one day last week. That was odd. Never saw him do that before. Then on Monday night this week, he threw up about 6 or 7 times after I fed them their dinner. Very odd and so not like him. He still tried to eat though...
I've recently had to make some changes in my kitties diets once again because Oreo is now a diabetic. I've also tried the Stella and Chewy's raw Duck about a week or two ago. They don't like it so far. Will keep trying on my days off. Raw has to be taken up an hour after you put it down...
Am I missing this? Or maybe it's just not there yet and on the to do list? This is helpful when responding to the Song threads where your response might collide with another members and mess things up. I always check to see if anyone else is in the room so I either hurry up or leave and come...
Here's the picture of a 20 year old kitty up for adoption (and scheduled for euthanasia soon sadly). He looks so sweet and kind of sad too :(
Here is the description and the contact info if you have Facebook. Please help this old man kitty if you can!!!

Do you monitor your cat while away? If so what product do you use, and how well does it work for you?
I really would like to get a monitoring system to check on my kitties during the day especially since they've had some recent problems. There are a bunch of products out there like baby...
I'm hoping that starting a thread will magically make him reappear. Again I'm panicking.
Harry had some vomiting after I changed their diet to accommodate Nat's early renal failure. It was the last of October when I noticed not only vomited food but blood. It's like he kept throwing up until...
Gosh now is not a good time to give a detailed history because I'm panicking, but I'll try.
For the past few weeks I've changed my kitties diets a little bit to accommodate Nat who is now at the beginning stages of renal failure. So, adding a little water to their canned foods. They've been...
My kitty Nat just had his labs drawn - a CMP/CBC/Geriatric panel and Phenobarb level. He has had seizures of unknown origin for the past 4 1/2 years now. I know what a lot of the labs mean but I'm afraid I just can't be objective in interpreting the data:
CBC
WBC 10.9 (5.5 - 19.5)

They were born in 2004 and have progressed from Friskies and el cheapo grain-based dry food (Kibbles and bits or something cheap) to grain-free wet and dry (NVI) and the pate only Friskies (which is grain-free as well). They did not like the NVI and would only eat it because they were hungry...
It hurts to remember this day 1 year ago. I had fought so hard to keep you here, to get you well. I took you to one vet after another, yet you only got sicker. I'm so sorry I ran out of money. I'm so sorry those who had money refused to help. May they reap what they sowed. You didn't do...
Two years ago today, July 4, my mom passed away. I haven't been the same since. Not a day goes by I don't miss her terribly. I go through the motions, and most times no one even knows. We were really close.
She was such a good mom. Always supportive no matter what. Always willing to...
There seems to be this lingering myth that men only love dogs. That's so not true! I've found many videos, such as the one below that prove real men do love cats! Share videos or pics here!

Past or present, share your favorite moments of your kitties! I'll start.
Years ago, when I had Sammy and Garfy, who were purebred persians, I took them to get shaved for the first time. It was summer, they had a few matted places and Sammy was a BEAR about me brushing him. So I decided a...
How do I post links? I used to know how to do that on my old computer, but now I have a Mac (I won't even tell you how long I've had it either!) and I have no clue. I believe I have actually posted a link before but it was an accident and I forgot how. Help!
How do I post double quotes...
This is a sensitive subject and a highly personal one. There isn't any right or wrong answer here. The reasons I am asking is because there was a man on one of the grief groups who lost his pets within a period of several years. The last pet passed about a year ago. He is still not coping...
A couple of months ago I was rather distressed that a number of cats on the grief support site I frequent were dying of saddle thrombus. A quick search of this site led me to one thread about it. I asked a question, never got an answer that I know of, and began searching on my own. Of course...
My Dear Sweet Garfy,
It happened 12 years ago yesterday at 3:30 am. I will never forget it. A part of me died with you.
Months before I even knew you were sick, something weird kept happening which I still don't understand. I kept seeing the numbers 111 everywhere - on license tags...
I can't figure out why my kitties do this and wondered, it it just mine or everybody else's too? Sammy used to groom Garfy, until he was all done (which could have been one minute or 5 depending on how Sammy felt that day), then poor Garfy, all relaxed and everything, got a quick bite to the...
