    Kitty hissing at women?

    Hello! I have a two year old fixed kitty named Delilah. She's a love bug to our roommate, my husband, me, and any guys that come over to the house. She'll be all over them, flopping in their laps, purring, the works. (Pictures for those who like them!) Here's the issue: When a woman, any...

    Kitten changing fur color?

    Sorry I didn't answer immediately. We ended up taking Delilah to the vet (she had to get some of her vaccinations anyway). The vet looked her over, did a few tests, and pointed out that she was perfectly healthy. He said he's seen a lot of cats with markings on their face like hers turn lighter...

    Kitten changing fur color?

    My little Delilah is a very healthy girl, the vet recently gave her a completely clean bill of health, and she's been eating very well. She's active, sleeps regularly, everything checks out. But I've recently noticed a change in her fur. When we got her, she was dark gray with white splotches...

    Kitten won't eat her prescription food?

    Hahaha I am! He came HIGHLY recommended to me by nearly everyone we know, and he's very sweet, and always puts a pet's health before profits. He's given me the name of a fantastic pet store in town that sells a full range of raw food that he recommends - he even suggested I get her the duck...

    Kitten won't eat her prescription food?

    Yeah, we put about 1/2 of a cup of the food in her dish in the morning to let her graze throughout the day (as the vet recommended, also works at a cat-only clinic), and I've been watching her to see if she eats it, and she's eaten a little over half. It's just hard to tell if she's going to...

    Kitten won't eat her prescription food?

    It's dry food, as the wet variety isn't available yet, and it's special food for her stomach. We took her in and the vet noticed some severe swelling of her stomach, and they did both an exam and bloodwork on her. It was determined to be severe gas, along with an intolerance, but she was pretty...

    Kitten won't eat her prescription food?

    Hey guys. Delilah's been very good about eating since we've gotten her, with a very healthy appetite. However the vet noticed she was having some stomach bloating and gas problems so encouraged us to put her on prescription food for that, just to make sure everything's under control. We were...

    Possible tail issues?

    Our vet fit us in at the last minute today, and they took a good look at her, and confirmed that she does, in fact, have a disability. They said it appears to be from trauma, and based on her history they believe her previous owners struck her with something and injured her when she was very...

    Possible tail issues?

    I've been keeping my eye on our new 9 month old kitty Delilah for the week that we've had her, and from day one I noticed she was very strange - at least compared to the almost dozen of cats I grew up with and took care of. Her biggest thing? Her tail, and her reactions to it. When I take a...

    Cat possibly sensing disability, and being very upset over it?

    This might sound like a strange one, however Delilah has spent all day fussing over me. I have a form of muscular dystrophy, severe enough to be in a wheelchair. It's very severe in one leg. She's been curious about my wheelchair and the bathing aids in the bathroom since we got her, but we...

    new cat and new baby

    I'm in a similar spot - I was thinking of getting a cat before our baby is born (due in January), but an abandoned kitten found us instead. I will say this - it's the best "practice" you can get for a baby. Especially if it's young. Delilah has me up at random points in the night wanting...

    Weird household objects as toys

    Delilah likes plastic. I try to keep it away from her, but she just adores the stuff, particularly plastic that comes from around the top of my gatorade bottles. She's dug in the trash TWICE to retrieve these after I've gotten rid of them, then carries them around the apartment like little...

    Helping an abused cat adjust?

    I don't think so. If she sees me handle any of these items at all she promptly flattens herself on the floor and begins that violent shake again. She doesn't even run, she just freezes in terror until they're removed from her sight completely.

    Hello from Arella and Delilah!

    I totally did this out of order, but now I'll say hello! My name's Arella. I'm a new kitty mom (although I spent my entire life around cats, I never got to have one of my own once I reached adulthood/marriage). So expect to see me around asking questions a lot while I adjust to all of this! My...
