@TripletK- I know how you feel. My heart is still absolutely broken over what happened. Freya and I fought it as long as we absolutely could, but she started letting me know she was tired of struggling with the pain. She stopped being able to jump as much, like you said, and ultimately relied on...

Don't worry, I'm sure it's not FIP but just be aware that it could be an underlying symptom of something that the vet may not be picking up or seeing. I would definitely collect a sample of the stool (it's easier if you use a plastic spoon so you can throw it away, once you have plenty of sample...

Is he going outside the box? Bloody stool is a definite sign that something is up and it's not something that should be easily dismissed. My cat Freya, around six or seven months, started having bloody stool and going outside the box, so I understand what you're going through. I would call your...

Thank you very much! I really appreciate all the links you provided me with, especially the one with Jackson Galaxy. My boyfriend and I love him and frequently refer to him as the "Cat Whisperer". We've learned quite a few fun techniques just by watching him on the TV, so I find his advice very...

Alright, I'm in need of some advice. Let me give you some background knowledge. We rescued Guin (the old cat) last November when we found her as a kitten hiding in a shed, right before a big snowstorm. She's always been extremely shy and likes to hide when she feels overwhelmed. Even my...

Thank you for your advice! I do plan on allowing her to carry and deliver the babies if it does turn out that she's pregnant. I've already had several friends and family members offer to take the kittens, once they are old enough, if she does end up being pregnant. My boyfriend and I were...

Hi everyone, There's been a cat that's been wandering the neighborhood for a week or two. She doesn't look like the usual strays that belong to the area. The first time I saw her she ran up to me without hesitation and purred as she followed me home. A few days later she showed back up, hopped...

I totally understand the concern for the over breeding. I worry about it all the time, too. I don't think I'd be able to legally take them and have them all fixed as they technically "belong" to two families. Also, even at low cost I wouldn't be able to afford to help them out that much, as I've...

Thank you everyone for your support and comments. After Freya had another bad episode yesterday, my boyfriend and I decided that it was time.. We're going to send her to rainbow bridge this month, either the 13th or 28th, depending on how our paychecks fair. I was wanting to do an at home...

I agree. We're almost positive that she has FIP ourselves, but this is the last step our vet has asked us to take to be sure that this isn't some sort of liver disease that could be treated. She's worked very hard trying to diagnose our baby and make her well. She's given us free prescription...

              These are my furry neighbors, aka my stray babies. When I grew up I watched my mother, who always has had an undying love for animals, take in strays and care for them constantly. I guess I've inherited that from her. These cats live outside two houses directly down my street. One...

Thank you very much for your response. It kind of made me reflect and think about what "stage" my baby is in. I think from what you've told me she's not quite there, but she's starting to fall into the #2 category.. She still absolutely loves going outside to nap in the sun and usually seems to...

Thank you very much for your kind words. It's been a hard struggle and I just want to do what's best for her..

Hi everyone, I'm new to this site but I thought it would be a good place to come to advice from fellow cat lovers This is my beautiful baby snowshoe, Freya. She's just a little over a year old and she has a 96% chance of having the fatal FIP disease.                                          ...
