    Eye Injury Emergency

    The male she attacked is, another local male is not. I *think* she's been spayed if only because if she hadn't been there'd have been kittens by now - she's a little shaggy in the back and I just thought she was another neutered male for a while.

    Eye Injury Emergency

    Thank you very much for responding. She's hiding in the laundry room right now and she has the eye open, which makes me feel somewhat better. She's still really really upset, so I'm trying to give her a little time before I try to get the terramycin in there. She did eat some food and drank...

    I just found a tube of terramycin, may have to see if that helps

    Eye Injury Emergency

    Hey folks, I just had two of the cats I feed at my apartment complex get into a fight. One of them has blood in her eye; she let me gently pull the lid open enough to at least make sure the eye was still in there, but I don't know what else to do. I'm extra afraid because this cat already has...

    Seeking tips and advice for winter cat shelters!

    Hey all!  It's supposed to get down into the 20s tonight, pretty cold for Georgia, I know I'm not happy.  I've been very worried about the outdoor strays I feed - I've wanted to build some shelters for them, but I live on disability and make very little at the part time job I hold down. ...

    Very sick Kitten #2

    I am so very sorry to hear this. You and your wife tried your hardest for these babies, and like you said, at least they spent their last days being loved and cared for. Thanks to both of you for your compassion.

    Cat with possible URI/Feline Herpes?

    Had kind of a disheartening evening - I got some terramycin for goopy eyed cat and unsuccessfully tried to get some of it into her eyes which made her VERY upset. She growled at me and went and hid under a car for a while afterward, and she's never done that since she starting hanging around...

    Cat with possible URI/Feline Herpes?

    Hey, thank you so much for the help and the encouraging words : )  I'm about to go order some of those lysine chews.  They should be perfect since Kitty2 has turned out to be one of those rare animals that completely ignores canned food over dry.  She actually scared the bejeezus out of me the...

    Cat with possible URI/Feline Herpes?

    Unfortunately, there's very little I *can* do right now.  I live on limited income and I don't have a pet deposit.  The last time I wound up taking in a stray, I had him for about 2-3 weeks before I could find him a home, and I was absolutely terrified the whole time that I'd get evicted for...

    Cat with possible URI/Feline Herpes?

    Um, second problem - the other super affectionate, possibly-owned cat that I feed regularly just showed up.  I literally have two cats fighting over me, and I'm not sure what to do about keeping them from making each other sick  : |

    Cat with possible URI/Feline Herpes?

    So there's a cat that's been coming around my door that I've been putting food out for.  He/she is SUPER affectionate and seems decently fed, coat in decent shape, etc, but lately she's got super goopy eyes and drools everywhere.  I live in an apartment complex and I have no idea if someone owns...

    Stray Cat + Freezing Weather

    Thank you very much for the advice Ondine and Di and Bob!  I actually managed to catch the kitty when he came back last night.  One of my many (usually) useless talents is being a decent hand at making fairly convincing cat and dog noises, and although it sounds ridiculous, it's actually been...

    Stray Cat + Freezing Weather

    Hey folks - got some questions for you.  A couple of months ago I pulled into my parking lot in 30 something degree weather to find two cats, an orange tabby boy and a tuxedo.  Tux, unfortunately, scarpered before I could get too close, but I was able to get the tabby (known from hereon out as...

    Senior cat with heart condition

    Thank you so much to everyone that's replied.  I cannot tell you how much I appreciate your advice and your compassion.  I am going to try a round of Vetmedin and diuretics on the Bit tonight, and if they don't help her, I'll at least know that we tried.  Again, thank you all so much for your...

    Senior cat with heart condition

    Hi everyone, I'm not sure if anyone has any advice for this, but I wanted to ask somewhere.  I have a 15/16 year old female cat named Little Bit; she's been with me for literally half my life.  She's been having some health problems since back in April, and about a week and a half ago, they got...

    Sick Cat Part II

    Hi Devlyn, Thanks for sharing your story with me. I'm truly sorry that your Merry passed away and I sympathize with your situation as it sounds almost identical to what's going on with my cat. I've tried Shido on Iams before, so I may try him again. Thanks for the tip! Amy

    Sick Cat Part II

    Hi all, I posted here some months ago about a kitty of mine named Shido. This is what I wrote: >>>>Hello everyone, I have a young, unneutered male cat named Shido, just a little over a year old. Since he was probably about three to four months old, he's had a problem with persistent vomiting...

    Sorry, forgot to add: when he urinated in the apartment he never actually sprayed, and it actually took me a little while to notice because - oddly enough - his urine never had that distinctive hit-your-nostrils-with-a-train tom cat smell, so it was often a day or two before I'd find a pee spot...

    Hello everyone, I have a young, unneutered male cat named Shido, just a little over a year old. Since he was probably about three to four months old, he's had a problem with persistent vomiting. We've played with his diet, taken him to the vet on more than one occasion, and put him on...
