I have two bonded neutered male cats, age 10 and 12. The 10-year-old cat is definitely an alpha -- and a bully. He gets both redirected aggression when overstimulated by animals outside, and he has had nonrecognition against the 12-year-old cat after the latter has been at the vet. For an...

My cat Eli just had a mast cell tumor removed from his ear. The vet did a beautiful job, once his fur grows back you won't even know anything happened. But the little bastid was able to get the Cone of Shame off of his head IN THE CARRIER (!!!) and he will NOT tolerate me putting it back on...

My house has a screened porch that my cats love to hang out on.  It keeps them occupied and out of trouble watching the birds and snoozing in the sun.  90% of the time it is fine, but there is a neighborhood cat of unknown ownership (he has a home because he looks well-fed and has a collar) who...

My little guy Eli (age 4) has had a rough go of life.  He was a stray, then in a foster home, then came to live with my husband and me.  My husband was undergoing chemo for cancer at the time and had a stroke 2 months after we got Eli.  They took my husband away in an ambulance and he died 2...

I am moving from NJ to NC in less than a month.  It is a very hard move for me because my husband died 2 years ago and this move is starting over.  I am very stressed and juggling a full time job and dealing with 19 years of belongings and doing it all alone. It is an 8-9 hour drive.  I have a...

I've written before about my cat Eli.  I've had him a year and a half, adopted as a 2-year-old.  Eli is a very sensitive soul.  He's shy and insecure.  When he and his brother Sammy (adopted January 2014 after his and my beloved Maggie went to the Bridge) play, he's always the one on his back...

I know it sounds funny, but it's not.  I have a 3-year-old tabby/white bicolor male (Eli) and a 9-month old male Russian Blue mix  (Sam).  They are best buds.  Eli is a timid, sweet, nurturing soul, and Sam is a little rascal. Eli is extremely food-motivated.  He is slightly but not terribly...

My cat Eli is an angel-kitty.  He is so sweet and such a good boy (other than chewing on paper when he wants me to feed him).  He LOVED my 15-year-old cat Maggie who died last month.  2 weeks later I adopted "Sammy", a 5-month old kitten.  I posted about the introductions in another thread.  It...

Last week I lost my beloved Maggie-Cat.  You can read the story of her last illness here: http://www.thecatsite.com/t/271587/difficulty-treating-ill-cat-please-help On Sunday I adopted "Sammy" (still testing out his name) from a local animal shelter.  He is male, neutered, five months old...

Hello, I'm new here and I'm at the end of my rope, so I was happy to find this thread.  My cat Maggie is almost 15.  In early December she started sneezing, which developed into a full upper respiratory infection very quickly.  One morning she was fine when I left for work, and when I got home...
