    How long does it take for a cat to crash after spay?

    Otter got fixed today (finally!) and her surgery was normal, no complications. She's been home for 4 hours now, and she is not crashing! She is freaking high as a kite! Constantly looking for her food, pacing all over. I thought she might be in pain, but the vet gave her an extended release pain...

    Roommate's Cat Agression

    Everyone knows my babies by now (or I think most of you do lol), but this is about my roommates cat. Rogue, she is five years, was my foster baby until she was three. She was my little cuddle buddy. Well I had to recently move in with my current friend, and I did the usual introduction, but I...

    ER Vet Wont Answer - Need Advice!

    Background: Otter is an 8 month old DHS. She is also not fixed (we had to delay her surgery because she developed a nasty fever, which she recovered just fine from). Yesterday morning, Otter puked a little, and seemed to be a little grumpy, but no worse for wear. She stayed in my room most of...

    Otter Getting Fixed Next Week - TIPS!

    Not sure where this goes... ...anyways. Kaylee got fixed and, besides her being a little too hyper and having fluid buildup, she was easy. However, Otter (her sister) will not be. She had a fascination with trying to take out Kaylee's sutures, so I know she will try to take out hers. She's a...

    At My Wits End With Kaylee

    Kaylee is eight months old, and about two months ago she started peeing on my clothes...clean or dirty, it did not matter. I have been using the same laundry detergent since I got them.  Vet found nothing wrong after extensive tests, but suggested I get her fixed. I did. A few days later, it...

    Spay "Bump" - Need Second Opinion. *pictures*

    Kaylee got spayed Friday (as most of you might know). Well when I came home from work she was laying on her back, and the area around her sutures was swollen I guess? More like a lump than anything. Its not hard on one side, and sort of hard on the other. She is still eating, drinking, playing...

    Lets play 'lets scare mommy!'

    So I couldnt find Otter (it was way too quiet). Its on top of a queen sized mattress and you could not see her at all without actually going up to it.

    Kaylee hyper after spay - afraid she'll break stitches.

    Kaylee just got spayed today, and oh my god is she hyper. I really dont have a room she can not jump on anything in, and I was forced to put a baby shirt on her so she would stop licking her stitches (though she still tries). Any advice? And can you wrap it? Like I have gauze pads and no chew...

    Kitten Looks

    Im not very good with genetics, but I have a question, or well, a few. Is it possible to have a cat that is in between a short hair and a medium hair? I live with four cats, and three are short haired. Kaylee has a very thick coat, like a winter kitty, but it looks short. Also, is it possible to...

    Using litterbox, but randomly peeing in different places.

    Vets closed today, otherwise I would ask. Kaylee is going on six months, and is perfectly healthy, well she was anyways. I've noticed lately that she will pee in random spots. On the other hand, 98 percent of the time she will still use the litterbox (which I clean out 2x daily). Is she going...

    Lunch meat in a pinch?

    My pet store is closed on Sundays, and the cats ran out of food. I went out to grab a can of different stuff real quick (they are on an all moist diet) and came back to find my roomie feeding them deli meat (turkey). Is it going to make them sick?

    Quick question about body posturing.

    Kaylee and Otter are sisters, roughly the same age, but grew up together since birth. Earlier I noticed when they were playing Kaylee's hind end would come up, her ears would lay flat, and her tail got all puffy. She also kind of 'tapped' Otter. It looked defensive, but there was no hissing or...

    I Want to Switch Food Brands

    Kaylee and Otter (who are now 5 months, and 5.04 pounds and 4.10 pounds!) are the loves of my life, so I fed them the best. I had a decent paying job, so I bought Nature's Variety, which they of course adore. Well, I recently broke my leg, and while there is no 'light work' in a warehouse (and I...

    Something odd with Otter
