    What type of cat introduction worked for you?

    I made a post a day or two ago that hasn't gotten any responses, probably because it's too long, so I'm just going to go for the basics. I have an 8 year old resident cat Mila and a 2 year old new cat Zoey. Mila is declawed, Zoey isn't. I've been taking the introductions super slow and they...

    Cat got into fake plant and threw up.

    Before I say what happened I know the first thing people are going to post is "go to the vet." What I'm asking for is opinions based on your own knowledge or experience. All the vets near me are closing before I could make it out so if anything I'd have to either wait until the morning or take...

    Struggling with decision

    I happened to come across this from a link in another thread. This was very beautifully written and it brings me some peace, however I'm really struggling right now.

    Cat aggression after coming home from vet/Okay to hiss back at cats?

    My cat Buddy had 7 teeth and 2 roots extracted on Friday at the vets office, poor thing. He's doing very well now, but starting on Sunday my other cat Mila started hissing and growling at him. She is the sweetest little lovebug that wouldn't hurt a fly so I was really thrown.  I did some...

    My cat Buddy has been diagnosed with IBD for years and last October we had a bad scare where the doctor suspected small cell lymphoma. Whether it was that or not we don't know, his current medication regime and has (thankfully) been managing it. Back in October the vet said she suspected some...

    Best diets for cats with IBD/Small Cell Lymphoma?

    I've read articles that say if you find a food that doesn't cause any symptoms then stick with it, but I've read others that say you should vary the foods and rotate the proteins on different days. My cat Buddy is currently eating canned Nature's Variety Instinct limited Ingredient diet turkey...
