    Fiv, Gingivitis, Steroids, Buprenex, Extraction

    My 3 year old Lulu tested positive for FIV last week. She was probably infected due to the fact that her mom had it, which is evidently extremely rare as this disease is usually spread by blood/bite wounds and not very often simply from birth. You can read my previous post for more...

    Buprenex / Buprenorphine Tips

    Hi. My 3-year-old, Lulu, is currently dealing with a lot of mouth/dental pain. Her gums are very red and inflamed, and she thus was prescribed Buprenex (buprenorphine drops) on Friday due to the inflammation on her gums/gingivits, which she developed shortly after her first teeth cleaning...

    Possible Stomatitis...worried

    Hi, My Lulu is 3 and she's been having problems with her mouth. She went in for her first dental cleaning about a month ago, and all was fine for the first few weeks. About two weeks ago she stopped eating her hard food and I noticed her gums were really red and she just seemed a bit "off". I...

    Cats and apartments

    I just moved into an apartment in July and my complex had OUTRAGEOUS fees, similar to yours, totally unnecessary and completely DISGUSTING, in my opinion. They have a $300 deposit, and then a $250 non-refundable "pet fee" ...(what?!)??? And a $25 a month fee for having a CAT. I totally lied and...

    Grain-free wet food diet- who else?

    Hi! About a month ago I switched my 2-year-old Lulu to a 100% wet, grain-free diet. Through a combination from advice from pet store employees and my own research, I've been made aware of some of the benefits of using a wet food, grain-free regimen (improved coat, energy, good for teeth and...

    Dealing with a 'teenage' kitten?!

    My Lulu is just about 7 months, and we got her spayed a few weeks ago. She is very small and was the runt of her litter, if that means anything. The past month or two she’s been super ‘bratty’ , as we describe it. She doesn’t like to be held or cuddled, bites us (my boyfriend and I, we have a...

    My girl SMILES!

    Thanks you two! She does pant sometimes...but only briefly when she's been running at full speed, up/down stairs, etc. Is this not normal?

    My girl SMILES!

    One of the cutest things my Lulu does is 'smile' when she gets over-excited while playing. It's so funny. Whenever she gets really into chasing a toy or the teaser toy we play with, she runs around with this big 'smile' on her face and it's priceless.  Does anyone else's cat do this too??

    7 month old kitten SHEDDING!

    FYI -- I just started feeding her raw a few weeks ago. Not sure if it has anything to do with it but I know that it's supposed to prevent shedding, if anything.

    Kitten suddenly shedding a TON

    Hi! So, my (almost, officially on Feb. 6th) 7-month-old girl Lulu never really shed at all from the moment I brought her home at 6 weeks old. But, I have noticed the past week that she has been shedding a TON all of a sudden. She sleeps with us in our bed- usually on one of our pillows, and...

    I'm scared to have my Lucy Spayed

    Hey @Kesura! I recently went through this exact same thing. My Lulu is 6 months, but is SUPER small for her age and she's basically my entire world. I, too, was worried about the spay surgery, mostly the fact that she would have to be put under anesthesia. I had all of these ridiculous...

    Raw Food Diet - need opinions/info!

    Hi everyone, I recently started my 6 month old girl on a raw diet (Rad Cat brand) and am currently feeding her about 50% raw, plan to go 80-ish% eventually. Do I need to add any supplements or additional nutrients to her raw food? I give her probiotics once a day (she's had tummy issues in the...

    Raw Food Diet - need opinions/info!

    Thanks guys!! I wouldn't have known about raw if it weren't for the woman I usually talk who works at my pet store, she definitely knows her stuff and has given me such great advice with Lulu and recommended some great products- I definitely trust her or I would have brushed off the idea. I'm...

    Raw Food Diet - need opinions/info!

    Hiiii Cat People! I was recently introduced to raw food by my local pet supply store (Mud Bay) that supplies healthy food for cats & dogs, which I love, as I would not be caught dead feeding my little one Friskies-type, cheap, preservative-loaded crap food (hope I don't offend anyone!). My Lulu...
