I feel like I'm running an old folks home for animals. I'm dealing with a blind/deaf 15 year old dog and two 18 year old cats (among others). Here's my problem...my one 18 year old, Samantha, has been losing weight and we noticed her chewing funny. It's hard to describe. She would eat a...

I can't believe this is happening. A feral had kittens in our shed and my son took two of them. We made a critical mistake and didn't have them tested for feline leukemia...just vaccinated. Within the first year one of them came down with leukemia and had to be put to sleep. At that time...

I just wanted to say that I really admire all of you who are out in the trenches every day doing cat rescue. You are certainly a special breed. I could never do it. I know there are thousands and thousands of cats that need help. I love cats, but guess I need to protect myself. I know...

We've been caring for a female feral for four years. We first found MaMa in our backyard shed with kittens four years ago in May. We trapped her with a humane trap and had her fixed after the second litter. For 2 1/2 years she hid under the deck and only came out after we put food in the...

I'm really concerned. I've been taking care of a feral cat for almost three years. She lives in my shed and stays in the yard and shed all day. I suspect she roams at night, but she's always waiting for me at 7:30AM every morning. I also feed her again between 4:00 and 5:00PM. She's always...

I know I really shouldn't let Mikey have chocolate, but he loves it. I know chocolate is very bad for dogs...I believe even poisonous. Does anyone know if chocolate is sort of OK for cats? When I eat a Hershey's Kiss I just pinch off the very top of the tip for Mikey. He likes Godiva too...

I tried posting here the other day, but my post was lost in cyberspace when I tried to add a smilie. Oh well...I'll get the hang of it one of these days. There will be no smilie in this post...I don't want to type and lose it all again. I've already posted in the behavior area. One of my new...

I just thought I'd post an update on Mikey. I haven't bled in two days!! That's some kind of record. He did bite the back of my leg, but I believe it was a "love bite" that was a little out of control. He was purring at the time, stood on his hind legs, and bit. It didn't break the skin...

I look like I've been through a war. Right now I have scratches on both legs, both arms, and my face. Today was a good day. I haven't gotten scratched or bitten yet and it's around 8:00 PM. Yesterday was a nightmare. His name is Mikey. I first saw Mikey in a cage at Petsmart. He was...
