I'm so glad I could share on this site.  Not everybody "gets" it.  This is such a comfort. 

Lori's story is so wonderful that I feel comfortable sharing here.  So here goes.  I know I don't have to tell you this is all very true.  My favorite cat on earth was a cat named Dorothy who died in 2002.  I still think of her every day. She was like a child to me.  About 13 months after her...

The medicine can have very serious side effects.  My cat's liver swelled to twice it's size and was the cause of her passing.  My friend's cat began ripping out his fur. The best option is the radioactive iodine shot, which most vets won't tell you about because it takes business away from them...

NO, NO, NO it is not a death sentence.  My older kitty, Bella, was diagnosed with hyperthyroidism in June.  Many years ago I had a cat with the same problem and she was put on Tapazole.  She had to go in for blood tests every month to balance the prescription.  The pill  caused problems...

Cats are so bizarre, aren't they?  I do think it may be the kitty fountain.  If it is plastic, it will have an odd smell. If it's one of those fountains that kind of bubbles, I have one of those and the cats are afraid of it.   I actually bought one which has a stainless steel bowl in it, and I...

Hydrating a cat:  When I first heard I would have to hydrate my Bella I looked through eBay and bought a mesh bag with handles on each side and a zipper in the middle.  The bag evidently is actually used to shampoo a pet.   I pictured her really not wanting a needle to be put into her.  She fit...
