So my little boy Corvo has been sneezy since the first day we got him. We've had him for almost 6 months now and though the sneezing has gone down, it's still an obvious problem. He always sounds congested, and when he sneezs giant, green globs of snot shoot out. It usually takes a few days for...

Hey guys, So my little guy, Corvo, is always sneezing. at least twice a week he has a sneezing fit and he ends up sneezing out a joint, solid mass, of slightly blooded snot. We've taken to the vet three times now. The first visit the vet said other then the sneezing, he seemed fine. Eating...

So I thought Ares, my first kitten,was going to be the one who had the problems - I was obviously too optimistic! My little guy Corvo has had watery eyes since we got him as a kitten 2 months ago. We brought him to the vet, and she said she thought he had a sinus infection or URI and gave me 3...

Hey guys! I was at Whole foods today and saw that they recently came out with their own line of cat food(specifically, it hit shelves Oct. 2). I was skeptical at first, as their 5.5 ounce cans were only 99 cents - but after looking over the ingredients, I think it's an amazing deal! I've been...

Hey everyone, So both of my kittens have been in good health the last few weeks (thank goodness.) but recently Ares, our orange tabby, seems to be loosing hair on his heels. Same spot on both feet. He's had several vet checkups for unrelated things and each time we bring up the spots and most...

Hey guys, So I have two very active, and very loving boys. Corvo is around 6 months old and weighs in about 6 pounds, and Ares turned 7 months yesterday and weighs about 8.5 (he's a big boy, vet says he's not fat though lol.) I normally end up feeding them 3 times a day, 3 ounces each meal, as...

My cat Ares seems to be a never ending trail of illness - It really does figure. When I woke up this morning at 8am both of my kittens seemed fine. I fed them both 3 ounces (Daves wet cat food for Corvo, Bravo raw for Ares. I watched them both finish their meals) My boyfriend came home for...

As some of you may know, my kitten, Ares, has been having breathing problems. The vet took some xrays and said that his heart looked big - indicating that he could have heart disease. The vet sent me to the biggest hospital in RI to get the echocardiogram done, and the cardiologist said his...

So, I adopted a second kitten almost two weeks ago. Followed all the steps about properly introducing them and they more or less get along great. They roll around and play with each other, chirp all the time, and just are both very friendly. Ares, my first kitten, is 6 months old and wopping 7.6...

Welp, I wish I had better news about Ares. I finally broke down and went through the expensive processes of having him tested to see why he was having breathing issues - and the specialist came back to tell me he has a mild heart enlargement, associated with Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy. I was a...

Hey guys, So awhile ago (almost 2 months ago) my boyfriend and I decided to adopt a second kitten. We went to the same shelter we got our first one, fell in love, and took him home a week later. Once we had him home and in our house he started sneezing up a storm. He would run around our...

Hey everyone, So I may just be a worry wort, but I've been recently upset over my kitten, Ares, breathing. Sometimes he breaths just fine - around 35-38 breaths a second (I looked up online that the average cat breaths 20-40 times a minute.) Other times he gets up to around 60 even when he's...

I was in a local pet store a few days ago and say that Instinct came out with a new line of food, Pride. I've always liked their food, but my kitten was never the biggest fan. I brought a can of the chicken home to him and he seemed to like it well enough. Has anyone tried this food before? Any...

I am almost speechless at this point, so I apologies in advance if this comes off ranty. I adopted Ares from this same shelter, and when I brought him home I was faced with a number of issues. URI, coccidia, lung worm, and then 4-6 weeks of medication combined. The vet, at one point, told me to...

Hey folks, I've had Ares on the fortiflora for a little while now, and I've just come to find that it's not so good for him. I'd like to get him on a better one, and I heard that human probiotics can be used for cats as well, though I'm not sure which ones. I was at walmart today and picked up...

When I saw this happen the first time, it didn't freak me out too much, as I had seen my mothers cat do it once or twice. My mother and I both have very, very long hair that sheds all the time. But this is not the 3rd or 4th time in the last few days he's pooped with hair hanging from it keeping...

Hey everyone, Ares has been doing pretty well lately, no major problems - and that kind of the way I want to keep it (obviously.) I started looking into adding a few supplements to his raw in the morning, but found it to be really confusing on the amounts, and I didn't want to end up doing more...

I'm honestly starting to feel like I live on the "health" section of this site. Turns out the kitten we recently adopted and had to send back to the shelter had a ringworm infestation. Now a week later, I'm noticing patches of hair missing on my 5 month old kitten - Great. Best part though...

I'm a little worried, as I have not personally seen my kitten, Ares, drink from his water bowl in almost a month. He's on a wet food/raw diet and I always add a little bit of water to both the wet and raw, just because he likes to lap up juice before eating the meat. Is this enough for him? He...

Hey guys. So as some of you may remember, I was in the process of adopting a second kitten named Corvo. When I brought him home, I noticed his eyes were watering and he was sneezing now and again. As I just got over dealing with my first kittens URI, I brought him back to the shelter to be...
