I posted a couple of days ago about losing a kitten to FIP.  That was heartbreaking, but I was somewhat consoled by my other sweet cat.  Mia is 5 years old and has always been very healthy. I first noticed her throwing up a few days before Blaze died.  Honestly, I assumed it was a fur ball or...

We just lost our baby boy to FIP.  He had only been with us for 8 months and was barely a year old when he died.  It was heartbreaking to watch him go from being a playful kitten to such a sick cat.  We made the decision to have him euthanized last week. Now, we are full of so many questions. ...

What are your thoughts on cat trees?  I never had one with my previous cats, but I'm thinking of getting one for Mia.  She's outside during the day, but locked on the screen porch at night.  She already has quite a few things to play with out there, but nothing she can climb on.  So, I'm...

I wasn't sure where this post fit, so I thought I would start it here. What are your kitty's favorite toys? Mia is primarily an outdoor kitty, but she stays on our screen porch at night. So far, she seems pretty happy out there and I have some things to help make her comfortable...food and water...

Since Mia's accident, I've decided to keep her inside at night.  As we have allergies, she can't be allowed to run free in the house, but we have a large, covered screen porch that I have set up for her.  She has food and water (of course), a toy house and tunnel, scratching post and scratch...

After much worry, we had our follow-up appt today and the vet thinks Mia's eye will be fine in a few days.  Right now, it looks dark red as there is a lot of blood behind it.  But we have some drops and it should heal up in a few days.  And based on her general behavior, there appears to be...

I'm SO MAD!!!!  I just talked to a friend who is moving TOMORROW and she's decided today that she's not taking her cats with her.  REALLY?  Isn't that something to be considered BEFORE now?  She has asked me to help find her cats a home.  I can't take them.  We just got a new kitty (in part...

We were recently adopted by a local cat that we've known for quite a while.  We are completely in love with this sweet girl and have been planning to keep the name she has carried for 3 years.  But here's the fun part...her name is Mia.  My daughter's name is Mia.  It gets more fun.  My...

I think my kids are driving our new kitty nuts!  LOL!  Seriously, they adore her, but my oldest child is all over her!  Mia (kitty) is currently supposed to be on limited activity (see my other post in cat health), so I have her confined indoors to our screen porch and den until our follow-up...

My sweet girl didn't show up for breakfast a few days ago.  We were worried and searched for her all day, finally finding her that night.  Her right eye and right side of her head were very swollen.  I ran her to the emergency animal hospital and the vet said she'd suffered a head injury.   She...

My kitty didn't come home today.  She was with me last night.  I was outside, watching my kids riding their bikes, and Mia was in my lap getting her usual amount of spoiled.  Then this morning, nothing.  There's no sign of her anywhere!!!!! Info about Mia.  We've only had her for about a...

We have lots of cats in our neighborhood, but most of them are outdoor cats who have homes and just like to wander.  But there's a new girl that's been spending a lot of time around my house.  She rarely lets me get too close to her, but I managed to get close enough to pet her (and get a...

Hello!  I have a new outdoor kitty that I'm trying to make comfortable and I'm wondering about cool mats.  I had a black lab for years and she loved to lie on a cooling mat on hot days so I'm wondering if a cat would feel the same way.  We have attempted to let her inside, but she's very happy...

I'm not new to having cats, but this time is different.  I've always had indoor cats and this little sweetheart is an outdoor cat.  About 3 weeks ago, this sweet little cat decided to adopt our family.  She's been cared for, has had all her shots and whatnot, but her current owners are ready to...
