scamper, don't run off. i've made my own mistakes with kitties, and sometimes if a cat has a furry bottom and smallish testicles, it's easier to miss than people think--- good luck with bella and maybe or maybe not kittens... melissa and odell

RaKKa- If you can keep the cats separated when you aren't there to observe them, that might help you track down the behavior that is happening. I had a similar situation, but I would see the younger cat have displaced agresssion and attack the older cats. I kept them separated while I was at...

thank you so much, everyone, for your kind words and thoughts. I had no idea about the possibility of heart disease in cats, and I was forced to learn too much, too quickly in a very rough way. If I can ever share any knowledge with anyone i wil lbe happy to. Many kitties are able to live good...

unfortunately, Max died from heart failure this past Monday. Actually, he was suffering from heart failure, and my vet put him to sleep. I am completely heartbroken. Everything went downhill very fast starting Friday - back legs went out, then came back, then lungs started filling with fluid...

catlover, i would never EVER recommend that people stop adopting from shelters! I hope that did not come across. I just would recommend taking major precautions if adopted kitty has any sickly symptoms! KTLynn - actually, the cardiologists theory is that Max did NOT have a bacterial infection -...

Greetings all. I want to share my story because I've learned something and maybe can share it so this can possibly be avoided, or at least watched for with others...and take great care in making sure any sick kitties adopted are completely well before interacting with the already existing...

Long story short. My five year old kitty, Max, and I lost our best kitty friend, Ike, to congestive heart failure in September. I was very worried about Max being lonely, and also getting too used to being an "only", as he'd had issues being introduced as a wild one year old, though he came...

how long has it been since this happened? i am dealing with reIntroducing my older cat who has been sick for a few weeks and thusly separated, and my six month old newbie. they had worked something out nicely, but now older kitty GROWLS. so, i'm taking it slow. anyways, what's the time scale...

Pjohnson, Hissy has some WISE points. I too have dealt with introducing, severAL times, cats, and several REintroductions that included one kitty who had the agressive displacement issue, he would see an outside kitty, and then violently attack one of my innocent inside kitties just sort of...

i've been following the Persil story, and am thrilled to hear things sound good! that is wonderful news. persil looks to be a doll from her photo...i know what it is like to worry about a sick/hurt kitty...doing that myself, and it's always fantastic to get positive news. continued good vibes...

Hi all. I am curious if anyone has thoughts about what could be up with my kitty. (oh, and he HAS been the to vet, and had the full spectrum of bloodwork done to rule out organ failure, urinary tract infections, FIV, Feline Luk, heartworm, etc. it DID show a high white blood cell count...
