^ Aweee, yay! So good they are getting along. I just updated my thread yesterday too and mine are acting like besties now as well! I posted some pics if you want to see them http://www.thecatsite.com/t/250364/new-kitten-with-calicivirus-and-resident-cat-help Yay for successful introductions

My kitten who is about 6 months old also does this sometimes, I think it comes with the age and they are just trying to play but unaware of what is "too much" or of what hurts, mostly if they were separated from their siblings and mom young as most are these days. I have found that lightly...

Have you had a realPCR test done to determine exactly what kind of URI virus is causing her to be sick? If the antibiotics she is on now do not clear everything up I would definitely recommend that as the next step. My kitten had very similar symptoms and it turned out she had a whole slew of...

UPDATE: Well, Bentley's blood work and stool sample came back  normal so we were never able to find out what the third eye showing is about. I  am guessing it is just seasonal/allergen related because he is totally fine otherwise and I am hoping it will pass within the next few weeks, if not...

Did he recently hit his head or something? Sounds like it could possibly be a slight case of horner's syndrome... but if it has already disappeared it probably isn't since that usually lasts for a few weeks, but it is not a "dangerous" condition and usually resolves by itself without any sort of...

Well, if she is skinny and uninterested and not too affectionate it is possible that that's not her actual personality because she is either a) not enjoying shelter life or b) sick. It is hard to determine a cats actual personality in the shelter because so many of them act different there than...

^^ Just caught up with this thread, but WOW, what a low-life he is! He no doubt figured out that you knew and were likely about to break-up with him, so he pulled a fast one and did it first to save whatever was left of his ego. Shmehh. Cowardly, pathetic and very annoying for you I'm sure, but...

I have no idea either :( I have been manically trying to get all the hair and dust and stuff off of EVERYTHING here, still not done yet, but just trying to get rid of anything that could possibly be causing any irritation, ect. Just turned the heat way down to see if that has something to do...

My cat Bentley's third eyelid started showing about a week ago. Not a whole lot but definitely noticeable/more than a "normal" amount, so that you can always see the white of it even when he is alert, but not in a way that it is covering a lot of his eye or anything. I took him to the vet and he...

Listen to the vet. The kitten probably has some sort of URI, possibly a virus that causes them, so he needs to be treated/get better before getting the FVRCP shot or else it could just make him much sicker.

Well, if a proper introduction is done you shouldn't have to expect any bloodshed between cats ever, but because he was so scared that's definitely why you got the clawing. Your other cat is one of the "miracle few" then to have never scratched or bitten, but yeah, all of them are different to...

Well, cats who are scared like in your case will scratch or bite whatever or whoever is closest in an attempt to get away. It is their defensive reaction and if they are in a situation where they feel threatened it will happen despite how sweet and loving the cat is otherwise. Even a normally...

She was just scared and that's an normal reaction, definitely not a "vicious" cat at all for doing that... the problem is you introduced them improperly and she freaked out which is to be expected. Sad that you took her back so quickly but I guess you had no idea what to expect. Also, the people...

Just got home from the vet with Bentley (the resident cat) We did some blood tests because the third eyelid showing can be an indicator of just about anything, and I will be taking in a poo sample of his soon. Vet isn't sure if he is actually sick or what and just wants me to keep an eye on...

^Thanks. I actually just spoke to the vet-tech and they want me to bring him in to check it out, so he will be seen by them on Wednesday. Aiya. It's never-ending! Trying to arrange someone to drive me there so I can bring both him and the kitten in at the same time, since I don't have a car I...
