Thanks so much! The vinegar sounds like a great idea. It's been well over 18 months but still, after contracting ringworm myself from the kitty and spending WAY too much money trying to get her well, I wouldn't want to pass it around. I'd be ok if it were my own cat because I really think it's...

Hi everyone, I have a fantastic cat tree that was used by a kitty with ringworm 2+ years ago. I no longer have cats and would love for someone to be able to use it but I certainly wouldn't want to give my friend's cats that dreaded fungus. Any idea if it's safe to use? Thanks, Kelly

So far, so good. She has tried to sit by my head but I move. She seems slightly frustrated by this but keeps me free of scratches and I do pet her a bit. The other girl is in heat and also drving me crazy! Don't worry, she is fixed but apparently poorly, leaving tissue behind that causes this...

Thanks so much for your reply. I know she was at the vet about two weeks ago and there was nothing amiss. I can sit away from her preferred spots and maybe keep a pillow on the top of the sofa behind my head. I didn't think about the distraction though. Maybe I'll pick up a feather wand...

Hi all, I have an extended (3 weeks) pet-sitting job with a friends 4 cats. They are a handful but generally great cats. They are all older, all between 10-14 yrs. I have sat for them many times before, usually shorter visits. They know me well and I've never had any issues with any of them. I...

I am coming in late to this post but haven't seen anyone mention capstar. I had an issue with my kitty years ago where frontline just stopped working and we had a really bad infestation due to an outside stray and the dog bringing them in. Switching to advantage helped alot after we got all the...

Wow, Lesliecat! You are one good cat mama. I want to know your secret.

My kitty Denni, spayed, indoor- only female, lived till 18 and had to be put to sleep only because of an intestinal blockage which may have been preventable :( Long story but I really think she had two more year left in her. I'm writing because I wanted to say, she had slowed down starting at...

I just wanted to update the thread and say Tilly was re-adopted over the weekend. I have been watching the rescue group's page to keep an eye on her. I was getting nervous as it's kitten season and I feared she'd be back with them for too long. Hopefully they have shared all my info with her...

I'm not an expert by any means and your handiwork is AMAZING but I did have one thought when I saw your litterbox set up. Maybe maverick is having a harder time getting "in" the box as he gets older. I know my older girl got very arthritic around 12 and I had to place steps near all the...

I had initially asked about her sister at her first signs of boredom. I was told that she was unadoptable but didn't know what that meant until today when the foster person said that she could be handled at all.

Sorry. If you look at my previous posts you would see the issues. I guess I should have explained. I adopted her 6 months ago. She is 8. The rescue group did not tell me about her issues and she had a few health problems they claimed not to know about. I did not take her back right away because...

The rescue group I went to didn't seem that picky. They let me take Tilly home after talking with me briefly and filling out some paperwork but I'm a crazy animal person who always has cat food and a carrier in her car for strays. I think that shows. I guess I should have expected more...

And I am devastated. I've been in tears since I dropped her off 4 hours ago. I was able to give her directly to her foster mom so she only had to be at the adoption center for twenty minutes before returning to her original foster house and her sister. I asked about her sister again and the...

I am dealing with the exact opposite problem at the moment but I won't go there. So happy to read a happy ending! Just wanted to share as story about a cat I had years ago. Moose was a big fluffy black and white girl who apparently was included with our house sale! The neighbors questioned if...

Red Top Rescue - Thank you so much for your post and kind words. It was great to hear from someone who is dealing with similar cat temperament. It made me feel better when you said you had a female with a "hostility thing". I said to myself, Yes, that's exactly it! She just seems so annoyed...
