I currently have two cats in my care. Gus, is my 6 year old neutered male (found as a stray and only neutered about 1 1/2 years ago), and my foster girl Annie, 10 year old spayed female with a number of medical issues.  Gus has always been a playful boy, on the aggressive side if he doesn't...

Penny's Mom: how is your little angel doing now?

Oooh Mister is such a handsome fellow!!! I once had a long-haired orange tabby that looked just like him, until I lost him to cancer last Christmas  Those little lion-king-look-alikes hold a very dear spot in my heart! Treasure those mornings with him... so long as it's the right end that's...

Interesting.... my boyfriend believes that our cat, Gus is merely an opportunist who understands that he is often rewarded with positive reinforcement when he acts in ways that we consider cute and affectionate. In other words, he knows how to milk it when he wants treats, meals, or a scratch...

Khal Drogo! Lol! So cute! You could call him Khalley D for short! I've always liked exotic names for male cats: -Guillermo -Diego -Antonio/ Ricardo/ Eduardo -Filipe -Pierre -Juan My boy is Gustavos, I call him Gus for short. He's a handsome little devil.

Stolen merchandise: Princess Kikipies When my sister was a rebellious teenager, her and her friends stole a precious little calico kitten from a pet store! She snuck her into our house and hid this kitten in her bedroom. Well, she didn't stay a secret for more than two nights because one...

FCV is treatable! and cats with FIV can live long healthy lives under the right conditions! Regardless of what the cause and effects may be, you can always maximize her quality of life to the best of your ability. I understand that vet care is very expensive, but you may be able to negotiate a...

The poor girl. How traumatic for the both of you!  Look up feline calcivirus (FCV) as some of its symptoms are reflected in your poor Penny. The infection can be transmitted via saliva, and the commonly recognized symptoms seem to be mouth ulcers, salivation, and anorexia, among other upper...

It's true. I am always sure to challenge people with their decisions to buy fancy breeds and/or kittens. I personally could never imagine supporting breeders with my money. I would much rather pay an adoption fee at a shelter to adopt a cat in need, and ensure that the money is going back into...

Gus has been hunting this spring too, so far I've had two shrews and a snake left dead on my doorstep. He's got a little jingle collar that he wears which I like to think scare away the birds before he has a chance to try and catch one. I've seen him try to pounce on birds and they usually bolt...

That would be heartbreaking for me! I've always secretly loved how my Gus has an affinity for me over my boyfriend, it is very special and I know I would feel the same if I lost that bond with him. I would just ensure that your interactions with her are always positive and rewarding so she can...

How frustrating for you...I can't believe that there isn't a ban against your sister for adopting out more animals? Perhaps you could get into touch with the local shelters and provide them with a recent picture and information on why they shouldn't adopt to her. I've got a girlfriend whose...

Lol! Funny stories... Good tactic, Minnaloushe! Force them into a cuddle and then they'll gladly leave you alone. If I try to disturb my Gus while he's sleeping, he will only be tolerant for so long before he makes the deliberate/insulting gesture of getting up and moving about two feet away...

I know, that is such a heartbreaking situation for those cats whose lives have been turned upside down by the deaths of their owners. And it would be equally heartbreaking for the former owners to know what has happened to their beloved cats. I can rest easy in knowing that if anything were to...

Writing these letters/poems can be a good outlet for our frustration with these kinds of people...unfortunately, even if they ever do read the letter/poem it would not have any impact on them. For someone to have the ability to either shoot a cat or leave it behind outside when it's sick, I...
