    Kitty Still Peeing, Don't Know Why...help?

    So I posted a while ago about a new 'stray' that ended up in our lives. He had a nasty bout of coccidia that he was quarantined for and was treated- he's now healthy and growing like a weed. Well, several days after he arrived one of our other kitties, Ludatsi (british shorthair) started peeing...

    Peeing In Random Places

    Some of you may remember I posted a bit ago about our new kitten that had coccidia and one of our resident cats suddenly peeing outside the box. The coccidia is cleared up, kitten is happy and healthy, but the 'outside the box peeing' has become a problem with our other cat Ludatsi. She is...

    Coccidia

    Good morning! Some advice needed. Long story short, a couple of weeks ago we unexpectedly ended up with a stray kitten, about ten weeks old, in the parking lot of a Domino's pizza (I just wanted dinner, I swear!) We took him immediately to the vet and other then some fleas and being a little...

    Cat Peeing Problem

    Hey guys, it's been a while. We have a slight problem that we need some advice regarding. Our youngest british shorthair, Ludatsi, on rare occasion will pee outside the litter box. Not spraying, full bladder peeing. When she does so, it tends to be on my chair or where I sit on the sofa...

    Need Color Clarification...

    Yesterday my wife and I went to the shelter and adopted a five month old purebred siamese (technically a colorpoint shorthair) we've named Finnegan. After Athena passed away last month we wanted another rescue cat. He's a great big sweetie...very energetic and confident without being...

    Elderly Cat Approaching The Rainbow Bridge

    I'm not entirely sure why I'm posting this other than I feel like I have to get it out and I know fellow cat lovers will understand (and may have some advice). If this is the inappropriate forum please move this post. About a year and a half ago, my oldest kitty Athena started to have a few...

    Convenia Injection, Just Under 48 Hrs Later

    So our year old spayed female brit shorthair started going to the litter box with alarming frequency on tuesday evening. I felt her bladder and it wasn't full, so we were pretty sure it was a UTI making her feel 'urgent.' Took her in to the vet on Wednesday and while they weren't able to get a...

    Respiratory infection?

    So we picked up Bishop from the breeder on Saturday and took him straight to the vet for a check-up. He was wormed and had a set of his vaccines done that day. He had a small ulcer on his tongue that the vet thought might have been due to him biting it- it has since disappeared. He was sneezing...

    Yelling cat now holding a grudge...

    Good afternoon. As some of you know, I have a 16 year old cat named Athena. Her entire life, Athena has been a very, VERY quiet cat. She barely made a peep beyond small little 'murrs' now and again until she was about fourteen. Then suddenly she seemed to discover her voice and start holding...

    Bittersweet...new kitten finally!

    So, as some of you know, I had a 10 month old BSH named Simon who passed away six months ago from FIP. He's the kitty in my avatar. The breeder was incredibly kind, and offered me a 'replacement' (so said because, obviously, nothing can replace a lost kitty) despite the fact she wasn't in any...

    Cat couldn't pee, now having odd relapses...

    About two weeks ago while I was at work my wife noticed our cat Odin was repeatedly going to the litter tray and acting like he was peeing, but nothing was happening.  He was acting lethargic and was getting bloated, so she immediately took him in to the vet.  The vet didn't find any crystals...

    Hyperthyroid and kidney problems...advice please?

    My Athena just turned sixteen. We recently noticed she was losing weight, though she was still eating well and acting normally. We took her into the vet today where it was determined she'd lost just under two pounds in about eight months (from the time of her last old kitty wellness visit). They...

    Simon's gone...

    I'm devastated...I'm still reeling from what's happened. I went to Australia for two weeks to visit my fiancee. My sister was staying and watching the furkids. All went well until right before I left. She told me the last day I was there (Thursday morning) that Simon had a little bit of a...

    Someone mentioned looking through Pawpeds...

    So, I was reading some old threads and someone mentioned looking up pedigree information on Pawpeds. I decided to do so, just out of curiosity, for my young Brit Simon. Holy cow, I was not expecting what I found! Turns out, Simon's 10x great grandfather, direct male line, is the first cat of...

    Anyone do this?

    I currently have three kitties, one elderly and two who are seven months and still growing. In a couple of months, a fourth kitty, also elderly, will be joining our fold. Right now they are all on a diet of a freeze dried kibble mix- I can never remember the name. I keep wanting to call it Into...

    Final kitty size?

    Hello :D As some of you know, I recently brought home a male British Shorthair. Simon is now 7 months old and weighs 11 lbs, and his feet are MASSIVE in comparison to the rest of his body. I went through my paperwork from the breeder but his Sire's weight is not mentioned. I *think* I remember...

    Black kitty and white hair

    So about three or so weeks ago I adopted a four month old little black shorthair named Pipsqueak. When I picked her up, she had several little white hairs on her throat and one or two on her back. What I've noticed the last week or so, she's getting more and more of these individual white hairs...

    Newcomer...!

    So, as some of you might know I recently brought home a little british shorthair kitten named Simon (the kitty in my avatar).  Simon is just over four months old now and no longer what I would call 'little'. I've had a few cats before and he's about the size as most of them were at about six to...

    Cat naming ideas...

    So, I've never had such trouble naming a cat before, but I'm getting a new baby (the kitty in my profile pic) in March and I'm still not able to decide on a name. I'm obsessing! Help!! LOL! I know what's going to happen. I'll go to pick him up the first time and the right name will just pop...

    Difference between fawn and lilac in British Shorthairs!

    Good morning! So, I have a Brit kitten that I'm getting in March, that was just born on 01/07 (the kitten in my profile pic). When I first reserved him, the breeder was pretty sure he was a fawn. Now, she's changed his status to be fawn/lilac. Looking at pictures of fawns and lilacs I can't...
