The two cats I'm fostering aren't sick but rather weren't eating because they were depressed at the shelter. So I'm glad I don't have to worry about upper respiratory but now my concern is how my own cats handle it and the little time I am able to interact with the fosters. They will be kept...

I know it's been a while since I last posted on this thread but I wanted to provide an update.  Charlie's limp eventually went away!  I was going to take her in for xrays but decided to give it another week or two of rest.  I separated her from my other cat for about a week and the limp seemed...

I recently found out that the local humane society is overcrowded and has many cats that are depressed and have an upper respiratory infection.  I live in a 3 bedroom house with 2 of the bedrooms unused so I decided I should open my home to these needy cats.  I've heard that fostering cats is a...

Thank you Violet for the insight as to Charlie's behavior issues.  The last checkup was a couple weeks ago and she even snapped at me as I tried to get her out of her crate.  She eventually let me hold her, but as the doctor approached, she started growling.  I just wonder if she autmatically...

Aw yeah I think it'll come with time.  She's just being territorial right now and hasn't completely accepted him into her home.  Charlie still hisses at Boyd a lot.   He is always wanting to play and he is a big boy so I think she just doesn't like getting beat up all the time.  I feel bad for...

I adopted Charlie about a year before I decided to adopt my second cat, Boyd.  Charlie is a cat that loves to be around people and is very curious, so I thought she would accept Boyd right away, but I was wrong!  I kept them separate for only a couple days and decided just to let them get used...

My poor Charlie has been limping for 3-4 weeks and I've finally decided its time for Xrays.  She absolutely hates the vet and will have to be fully sedated for the Xrays.  A few years back I lost a cat under anesthesia so I am a nervous wreck.  Furthermore, I don't know for sure if the xrays...

Hi All!  --  I just joined this site yesterday as I am always looking for advice and similar experiences from other cat lovers!  I have two cats, Charlie (gray female) and Boyd (Brown and white tabby male) who are both around 4 years of age.  I've posted some pictures below :)

Thank you for your input!  I'm now wondering if it could be some arthritis.  She had an accident on the stairs a few years back and I took her to the emergency vet for an exam, but they didn't find anything from just feeling her leg (maybe a minor soft tissue injury?)   I believe it is the same...

Yes, they gave me 4 siringes liquid pain meds.  I gave her 2 of them a couple days after the visit and she seemed to get a little too rowdy afterwards so I decided not to give her the rest in fear of her re-injuring it. 

Hello --  I have a 4 year old female cat that has recently developed a limp on her front leg.  I started noticing it about 3-4 weeks ago and took her to the vet about 2 weeks ago.  She hates the vet and went absoluetely crazy so no one was able to touch her or examine her.  I discussed potential...
