Hi everyone! Long time no see! it's been a busy and crazy several months! Long story short, the boyfriend I was seeing broke up with me, and the boys and I moved. We lived with a roommate for a short time, then to an apartment that we lived in for 8 months. During this time, the boys seemed to...

A friend from work kinda has an emergency and needed a place for her dog and cat to stay for a couple days. I told her I could take the dog, but Trevor is way bigger than her cat and would probably beat him up. So the cat went to her boyfriend's aunt and uncle, and the dog is here. Wow. You'd...

About a month ago, my wonderful boyfriend turned out to not be quite as wonderful as I thought, and he broke up with me. He said I could stay there, but really, I was only living there for him, I didn't like the area that much, I didn't know anyone, and it cost a fortune to drive back and forth...

Over the past couple of days, I've noticed Trevor scratching his ears a lot.  I've thoroughly inspected him for any signs of fleas, and there are none. His ears are pink, clean, and healthy looking, although they might look a little "wet" if that makes sense. But I don't see even a speck of...

I have a Drinkwell Zen (the stainless steel one) for my boys. I'm trying to find replacement filters for it, but everything keeps coming up with Drinkwell Platinum. It looks to be the same filter....does anyone know if it actually is the same? I'm finding a dozen on Amazon for $28, which seems...

We raise beef, and Boyfriend cooked prime rib for his work dinner today. So this morning I took the bits and pieces that were left and put it in a bowl for the boys. Would you believe Burlington STILL stood there and whined and complained at me?? Ungrateful little butthead! LOL! He finally did...

Quick recap, he was declawed before I adopted him (some time in the past, don't know when as he was a stray), and he had two claws growing back that were causing him pain and we had to have them removed, about 2 weeks ago. He's not limping at all now, and doesn't hold a front paw up while he's...

We live out in the country, and the neighbor across the street feeds a lot of cats (no idea how many but it is a lot), so it's not unusual for there to be a cat or two in our yard. But most of them are feral and take off if you speak to them.  Well I was leaving for work the other day, and it...

ok to make sure it's clear, I did not have Burlington declawed, I hate declawing and am against it. He was declawed when I adopted him.  He's understandably very protective of his feet and doesn't like them touched. When we got him, there was a clicking sound when he walked, but he had some cat...

Not sure if I put this in the right spot, feel free to move if need be :) My boyfriend has mild to moderate allergies to the cats. We knew this prior to me moving in, when I only had Trevor, and actually moved Trevor in first so he could be sure he could live with a cat in the house. He was...

My boyfriend started a new job and I am off work the rest of this week to finish recovering from surgery last week (I tried to go back too soon, and it was a bad idea). So he's getting up at 6am, and he gives the boys their canned food before he leaves. I get up a few hours later, and they are...

He's just had an occasional sneeze, but no nasty gross discharge. His appetite is good, he demands food all the time (he wants more canned but my wallet says he's getting enough!). He's been drinking from the fountain, too. So we went in today for his calicivirus booster and he's gained a whole...

I've noticed that the good canned cat foods don't come in larger than a 5.5 oz can. I was at Tractor Supply today and very hopefully read the ingredients on the 4 Health brand as I saw it came in a large can, but it wasn't really all that great, plus I'm not a fan of anything made by Diamond...

I was looking at cat fountains and my boyfriend, sweetie that he is, bought a really nice stainless steel fountain with BPA-free plastic one for them. He set it up, and they have nothing to do with it! Trevor's never been a big drinker, which is why I make sure he gets canned food every day, but...

This is a quick post as I have to be out the door in a minute but I just got home a bit ago from picking Burlington up from the vet. A quick rundown of what I can remember, he may possibly have a chronic nasal discharge, time will tell. He's on an oral liquid (thank goodness, I hate pilling...

He's eaten MAYBE a tablespoon of wet food since yesterday when I brought him home. I thought maybe he wasn't eating because his nose is stuffy from the URI, so I mixed some canned (Monterrey Catch from Earthborn Holisitc- figured the fish would smell the strongest) with a bit of water and warmed...

These are my boys, Trevor and Burlington. I posted here long, long ago when I rescued Trevor's litter from the garbage, but it was so long ago I couldn't remember any of my login info. Trevor is 7 years old, a big, happy, healthy boy at 18 pounds. He's not really fat (just a little, he's kinda...

I just adopted Burlington, an adult (not sure, they said 4-5 years possible) male Maine Coon, from an animal shelter. I'm attaching a picture of his right eye. It is not irritated or weepy, and he doesn't close it or rub at it. It doesn't appear to bother him at all. When I shine a light in his...
