    Thoughts on changing a cats name

    Last year we adopted a 4 year old male cat from the SPCA by the name B.W. for black and white. He is a talker. Roaming the house talking to us, at the window talking to the neighbors, you name it he has something to say. So we named him Verizon for the commercial "Can you hear me now? GOOD!" He...

It's very important to know your cat and question the slightest change. The vet said it was that observations that...

    Snuggi the medical mystery

    Snuggi seems a lot better. She is up and moving much more. No more lounging on the bed. She is perching herself on an old trunk to look out the window and watch the world. The vet called today and we scheduled her next appt and labs on the 1st. So hoping that things look good then

    Snuggi the medical mystery

    Snuggi is a girl. Its her blight in life to be forever thought of as a boy. Even her SPCA card said male. Even after I signed the papers and my husband said "So what is with this scar on her stomach?" They said it was from her spay. I jaw dropped and pointed out her paperwork is male. Even her...

    Snuggi the medical mystery

    Verizon gets wet food mixed with dry. It's not anything fancy or expensive. As long as its not fish flavored anything. He hates fish and prefers chicken. I admit its not the healthiest options he has, but picky eater that he is. Plus at 12lbs he looked like a hollow skeleton with a saggy...

    Snuggi the medical mystery

    Just before Snuggi got sick, well a month or two, we took her off the auto feeder of hard kibbles. She was gaining weight in mass. We have been discussing her diet for a while. Since our Verizon gets a special diet due to other health issues (we adopted him at 4 years) We notices issues and our...

    Feline Infectious Peritonitis (Wet)

    I first found this post after admitting my cat Snuggi into the vet clinic for two days. She is still undiagnosed. She is under the thread Snuggi the Medical Mystery. The Vet said FIP is not ruled out yet, so I was following your post. I am sad and sorry to hear of your outcome. Although i was...

    Snuggi the medical mystery

    Also no, I do not believe they looked at any other organs. If the vet did, she didnt mention it to us.

    Snuggi the medical mystery

    This is Snuggi currently. She came down stairs. We had a conversation about the pictures while I took them. I used one as my new avatar too. You can see she is a chucky gal. She hasn't really eaten much. Nibbled on some kitten kibble. It wasnt for her, but if she is going to eat anything I'll...

    Snuggi the medical mystery

    She isnt eating on her own yet. The vet said FIP is not ruled out, but did not give a specific reason. the antibiotic Amoxicillin is what she is taking twice a day. She has been syringe fed twice by me. I mixed the kidney friendly cat food the vet approved with water. She isnt happy, but she is...

    Snuggi the medical mystery

    She isnt better. Still not eating and activity seemed decreased over night. She just stayed in bed snuggling us. She is a lover, but she only got down to pee and then came right back to bed. She will normally find some mischief or play with her toys. Very worried

She took to laying on my older boys bed, but then her play decreased and her sleep increased. Then I noticed her appitite died down. I became...

    Foster kittens

    Turned out my kittens were younger then assessed by the SPCA staff on hand. The vet determined they were only 2ish weeks old and decided to cut the litter in half. Because lets face it, 8 kittens at every 3 hours is way to much for anyone to handle safely. So we have four. We were given some...
