Thanks for posting this - my Pixel has been diagnosed with a Grade 4 heart murmur - he is 6 months old now - and just recently he has started coughing and it sounds a lot like the video.  He's also been panting with play - when I notice it - I stop our play or as much as I can...he's a single...

He sure does!  The vet's office love him - said he is a natural social cat...he's a hoot!   Thanks - 

Thank you - great ideas!   I think I will do the food thing since he has been a bit ravenous lately with his growth spurt.  He does go to the places I normally leave him treats (when I leave for some reason I figure it gives him something to "find" while I am gone)...but using it near the desk...

My parents bought me this for him and it has already broken.  He liked it but he would grab the "stick" and hold it in place... the on/off quit working and I couldn't seem to repair it.  I thought about getting him another one but that might get pricey if he keeps breaking them.  Thanks!

Thanks - today he was willing to play with the wand toys a while....but he still wants Me to attack him and I don't want him thinking it's ok to bite or scratch me so I grab something to give him quickly....  - he's a lunatic - he arches his back and comes at me- which makes me laugh but it's...

I am thinking of a second one for him but only after he gets fixed next month.  We (the Vet) put off neutering him because of his heart - we were hoping the Grade 4 murmur would calm down.  It hasn't really but we are going to need to fix him at 6 months (next month) per the animal control...

Hi -  I have posted a bit here with I first brought Pixel home... and he's doing great - even with his heart condition...but he is a "solo" cat... I work from home, so I am home most of the time... my question/plea for ideas is about play. I know he's a kitten and needs to play - but he has a...

Thank you all!  I spoke to his vet (because I had to schedule his next visit) and they said the same thing - feed him what he wants - he's a growing boy and won't over eat...they said he is just a hungry guy! :)

Thanks LauraLove I have given him 3 cans per day (they aren't big) and I think it's our "heavy play days" when he is hungrier.  I do leave the Taste of the Wild dry food down all the time and he does eat that too.  Sometimes he has a few bites of wet then some dry and he's done for a while.  He...

Hi, Pixel is about 4 1/2 months old and I feed him per the instructions on the Fancy Feast can - Kittens - 1 can per 2.5 pounds - once adult, cut back to 1 can.....so I give him 2 a day - one in the morning and one in the afternoon.  I also leave dry food down all the time.  However, recently -...

Thank you for your great reply. He does respond to "Ow" "Argghh" "ouch" and "No Bite" (now If I could get his face out of my coffee cup too LOL) and he really is a good cat - he knows what to do (negative) to get my attention, but he does also stop it when he senses I am really upset.   For...

Hi - I have had Pixel since he was 8 weeks old...and I read prior to adopting that they sleep 14-18 hours a day - well not him! He is a solo cat in my house - and full of energy.  I play with him 3-4 times a day (lately he has been trying to attack my arm and bite but he does stop when I say...

Thank you Mani - we are having a blast!

Hi Yayi, Yes, the vet has my number and I can contact the office to check in on Pixel.  He will be due for his shots while I am gone so I will call to make sure that went well.  We discussed doing an EKG and X-Rays, but the vet also said it would lead down a costly road and may not answer any...

Hi, I haven't had a cat in over 20 years - and the last brother and sister duo I adopted were about 1 1/2 years old...now I have a 14 week old character!  I have had Pixel from 8 weeks old... he's a lot of fun, however I have been told by 2 different vets he has a Grade 4 hear murmur and may...

Hello, I am a newbie to having a kitten - and I planned to get a cat after my vacation, but things happened, and I have Pixel already :)  I adopted him on 18 Oct 2013 - and we have bonded quite well.  My question is, I need to board him and have found my new vet has a great "condo" with a...
