    Herpes and Lysine

    We adopted a rescue about 2 years ago. Teisha was found on the street of a city with a serious eye infection. It took 2 bouts of antibiotics to clear it up. The vet at the time said she felt it was herpes. The vet did no tests of any kind and just announced that I would have to keep Teisha on...

    scratching

    aw, that;'s cute! I wish she would learn to bury her poop like that, lol. We figure she was taken away too early (she was found as a stray) because she doesn't bury her poop. We hoped she would learn from our other cat, but so far no luck.  Thank you so much for your answer

    scratching

    Has anyone every had their cat scratch the table after eating? Tisha scratches the table after eater as if she is burying it. Ninja has never done this, neither have any of my other cats except for one male. Any ideas?

    Herpes Virus

    Wow, I just read thru your thread and I amd so sorry you went through such a scary night. No Teisha has not done any of those things other than not eat, just kinda pick thru her food. I did read that when they are having an outbreak, it can be difficult to "smell" the food which is why they...

    Herpes Virus

    My newly adopted young cat, Teisha, apparently has herpes. I knew this before adopting her and was told it was probably from not being properly vacinated, but it is manageable. I have her on Lysine twice daily. She does not display respiratory symptoms, her only symptom is eye infections. The...

    Well, it has been 5 days now since I brought Teisha into the house and she it now totally integrated. I started letting her out on Saturday for a few hours, put her back when Ninja swatted her, brought her back out later for a few hours, then Sunday morning, she came out, they all eat breakfast...

    Introduction schedule

    So I have read all the info her on introducing a new cat and nothing really gives times limits, just when certain things happen, you can move to the next step, so if I could get some opinions here, it would be very helpful. The last time I introduced a 10 week old kitten to Ninja, it didn't go...

    where do your cats eat ?

    All my animals are fed twice a day. The dogs first, the cats second. Both get their treats before dinner and all four have to sit, sit up and shake a paw before the treats (yes the cats too, lol) Ninja eats on the dishwasher, Teisha will eat on the table beside when she gets out of solitary...

    New cat

    I'm really hoping this is a good sign. Still more of the same today, I bought two used cat beds, in extrememly good condition, didn't wash them cause I wanted the scent and Ninja has been sleeping in them already. She is not shying away from the smell at all. This is Peaches, Ninja is my avatar.

    New cat

    I brought home a new kitten/cat tonight. I have been out of town for three weeks, so I thought if hubby and I brought Peaches home tonight, my other cat Ninja and my two dogs may not notice right away, lol cause they would be so happy to see me It worked! It took Ninja almost an hour to figure...

    Accidental lock in

    My husband locked our 6 month old kitten in the laundry room in the basement overnight. I was out of town, he had been watching the "fights" at our sons down the street, so he was a little, shall we say, "not normal" when he came home? The kitten had been there since he went out about 5 pm...

    cat pooping on carpet daily

    Hi, I am just going to throw this out there as we dealt with this same problem. We moved into a small house we purchase. We had 2 dogs, 2 cats and a 60 gal fish tank. The house was very airtight. We almost never had to use the heat, even in the winter. Like most people, we had furniture against...

    How can you tell?

    HI, thanks for the thoughts. I should mention, that Ninja has always rolled on her back, exposing her tummy, even when Tyco was still with us. She just does it way more now, lol. We lost Tyco just before Christmas. She has also always rubbed, nosed and gently pawed the 2 dogs. She has always...

    How can you tell?

    So, I posted a thread earlier about losing my male cat, still having my female cat and possibly introducing a new kitten/cat. My hubby and I have a difference of opinion as to whether Ninja, our resident female wants company or not. We got Tyco as a kitten, but as he grew, he became very...

    Question about feeding

    I feed all my animals on a schedule, twice a day. I measure everything and with the cats, I have always mixed the wet and dry together. I know everyone looks at me like I'm insane, but it works, They eat everything, no leaving of any food and I am able to monitor the amount they eat, so that if...
