I went shopping earlier today; was gone from home about 4 hours. Came home and realized the door hadn't shut behind me when I left. Egads! What if the cat's got out? Lexi and Zac were waiting for me just inside the door where they normally are, no problem there. I left the groceries on the...

Okay, so I brought a new cat, TC, into the house 2 days ago. She's been fully vet checked, and has a clean bill of health. She is also separated from the other cats while we slowly work on introductions, but they know she is there; can smell her, and of course hear her. My question involves...

She's turning out to be the sweetest little thing. I've had her for a little over 48 hours now. I thought I'd try and find her a home with someone else, but I think I'll just keep her. Now I'm wondering how all you people who work in rescue manage to give up those wonderful babies? Tiger...

He found her on his doorstep. Was trying to ignore her, but my nephews became very worried about the kitty crying outside. So, he called me. I don't know what to do with her. :P Aside from getting her to the vet tomorrow, I need some suggestions. She's currently locked in my bathroom with...

Okay, my four cats are all indoor kitties. But with the weather being so nice, and with how much they all like sitting by the open window or screen door, I had this bright idea that I'd take one of them out, on a lead, while carrying them around. So, three of four didn't much care for this...

It's time for one of my cats yearly vet visits, and since he is so difficult, I thought I might try picking up some of the feliway spray to try and calm him down a bit. I've seen it at several of the area pet stores in the past, and didn't think I'd have a problem finding it. I was wrong...

One of my four cats is peeing outside the litterbox. The problem is, I don't know which one it is. It's been about two weeks now, and I keep hoping to catch the culprit in the act, but no such luck. In the mean time, they've all now been bared from half the house to keep them off the beds and...

I have had difficulty trimming my cat Zac's claws ever since I got him as a six week old kitten. (He is now almost 2 years old). I generally try to do it when he is calm or sleepy, but even then, I am lucky if I can get one paw done. His usual behavior is to attack and bite at the clippers...

Because 2 of my 3 cats need to lose weight, I've been feeding meals to all three for the past couple of months. Usually each cat has cleaned their plate at each meal, and the younger two both usually want more. Over last weekend I was ill, so I was just leaving food out for them all day, as I...

I feed my cats three times a day. The first feeding is dry food, the second a mixture of dry and wet, and the third is wet. Yesterday, Lexi threw up her first feeding, then refused to eat anything more. Her second and third feedings weren't a problem. Today, again, she has thrown up after...

Over the past few weeks I've developed this desire to find another cat to bring into my family. As research into this possibility, I went over my financial records for the past year to find out how much I've been spending on my cats, and whether I could afford another. I was pretty shocked...

This is my newest, Tady. He's actually been part of the family since January, but I just got some pictures back of him that I really liked, and I'm just too proud of him not to share. This is him his first day home. This is him a week or so after he first came home. This is him with Zac...

This hasnâ€8482t to do with cats, but I know a lot of you are involved with rescue, and Iâ€8482m hoping for some good advise, as I find myself unsure of what to do. Hereâ€8482s the situation: I live in a rural area, where a lot of people allow their dogs to roam during the day. Thereâ€8482s...

Dearest Toby, \tIt is almost 1 month ago today that you left me. I have been slowly putting my life together since that day, learning to live in this world that so suddenly seemed to be so lonely, so empty. I am again finding reasons to smile, to laugh, and most days now I make it through...

My Toby was diagnosed with CRF back in November. All told, it hasn't been a bad month. He took well to a switch to the K/D diet, and actually became more active than he had been in a while. He started to act poorly again about two weeks ago, and I took him in again. They redid his blook work...

I caught my Lexi and Zac laying together twice today! Amazing, considering Lexi has done nothing but hiss at Zac since his arrival. I almost cried, I was so happy. Now if I can only get Toby to start hanging around with them, too. Anyway, just wanted to share my happiness.

I've decided to make canned food a more regular part of my cat Toby's life, so today I went out and bought one can each of 5 different brands. I thought it might be nice to give him the choice, you know, since he'd be the one who had to eat it. I did a little research, and picked out Innova...

I have two cats, and 1 kitten. Zac, my kitten, has been with the household for about 6 weeks now. The 1st 4 were rather tough on him, because he was in poor health, and I kept him seperated from the rest of the family. He gets very lonely without company. He has been free to roam the house...

Hello all! First off, I want to thank those that answered my earlier post in the health and nutrition section. I said it there, but I'll say it again. This place is the greatest! I couldn't be happier to have found all you guys! Okay, now that the gushing is over, here's to an introduction...

Hi all, I'm new here, and I wanted my first post to be a little more upbeat, but now one of my babies is worrying me, so I guess I won't have that oppertunity til later. Toby is a seven year old neutered male. He started out life in bad shape healthwise, but aside from his size, he has shown...
