On Monday, 7/24/23, I brought home an 8-year-old female dilute tortie that I adopted from a shelter. My problem with her is that she hardly will eat. Her foster mother at the shelter told me that she has been at the shelter for 2 months. Her human mother was elderly and passed away suddenly...
My cat has recently been diagnosed with carcinoma neoplasm, cancer of her mammary glands. She of course is under the care of her vet. My specific purpose for posting this in a forum is that I am having trouble getting her to eat. She thumbs her nose at all of her favorite canned cat foods...
I have a friend who has opened up her home to an 8 -10 week old kitten who has been living on the streets all alone for about four weeks now. There has been no mother or siblings anywhere around. She has been all alone, by herself, with no mother, siblings, no one. The kitten has warmed up...
Would someone please identify the sex of this kitten my friend and I are taking care of until we find a loving for him/her. The age of this kitten is 4-6 weeks, we believe. Thank you.
Chewey, Pet Smart, and Tractor Supply are out of my cat's favorite Fancy Feast and Sheba wet foods. With Covid going on, I now find all my online stores are out of my cat's favorite foods! Does anyone know of an online supplier that is not out of wet food??
I have been feeding a very sweet, loving feral male cat who gets along with Katy with whom I live with. I want to adopt this sweet male but I am concerned about how well this will go over with Katy. Katy goes outside with me when I go out. She has become friends with this male that I feed...
I know this thread has nothing to do with our furry friends, but I do have a dilemma on my hands and would like some advise from those of you who may have some knowledge, experience with this problem. I am a woman in my mid-upper 60's, who has osteoporosis, and was on fosomax for at least 10...
I have been feeding a feral cat on my front porch for a couple of years now. Katy, my cat was not at first happy with me caring for this cat, but in time, she relented and allowed him to come up on the porch and feed. Every now and then she would walk over to the food and eat, even though she...
On Friday, my cat had her annual rabies and FCRP-FELV vaccines. Included was a steroid in the shot because Kay had a re-action last year, fever and lethargic feeling. She goes outside so needs these vaccines. It is now Saturday evening and she still is lethargic, doing not much else other...
On 5/14/17, member Alice79 started a post and posted kitten pictures on her post. I can read her post but the pictures did not go through for me. I know the pictures came through to others because Mrsgreenjeens commented on how cute the kittens looked. Please advise as to why I cannot see...
With the old site, we could add comments to the purraises we give. I have not been able to figure out how to add a comment to a purraise I give if I want to.
From an anatomical standpoint, can someone answer where a cat's "purring" sound comes from in a cat? Also, how do cat's make that noise, does it come from the throat area? Just curious. Thanks
Please someone, tell me if it is normal for a perfectly healthy cat to be negatively reacting to a Rabies or feline leukemia vaccine? It is not 2;30am, and something is wrong with my cat and I cannot go back to bed because I know something is wrong! 17 hours ago, my cat received her annual...
I usually apply Katy's monthly dose of Revolution when she is relaxing, almost asleep relaxing. She would always jump a tiny bit upon application. I never gave that much of a thought until yesterday. Yesterday I applied her monthly dosage when she was very much awake, and she about jumped out...
Myself and a friend have been feeding a colony of feral cats for the past 5 months. The colony is located in the back yard of an elderly neighbor who has passed away and now the house is on the market. She had 9 feral cats. The location is in a small town, no no-kill shelters in the area...
I need to purchase a new collar for my cat. I keep reading over and over the terms, either is a "Tie out" or is not a "Tie Out" collar. Katy does go outside if that makes a difference in the type I need to buy. I know I need a "Break Away" collar, but does the term "Tie out" mean the same as...
Please advise as to the best way to introduce a 15 year old neutered female cat to a family that has 2 adult male boxer dogs. The dogs are neutered as well.
I have recently adoped a shelter cat from an Atlanta SPCA shelter. The cats are fed dry cat food and I am having a hard time getting her to eat wet food. Twice a day a put down "Fancy Feast" canned food for her, that is the type of canned food they feed at that shelter on the rare occasions...
Good morning all, I have a question. I am raising 6 week old kittens (along with mom, of course) They are teething. May I give them human baby teething rings, the type that have the gel in the middle, or are they unsafe to use because of their canine teeth?
