Thanks! I just feel awful since we are having to move around a lot. But she is purring, rubs up against me and still sleeps with me, so I think she is doing ok. I just hope something goes right soon! Hope everyone has a great week!

Hello everyone! I just need some reassurance here. My life has been a mess since I lost my job back in August. I can't find a job, haven't worked in 3 months. I had to leave my apt and no one in my city would take me & my kitty in since they already had pets. Everyone was afraid that Houdini...

Hello all! I called the vet and suggested to send video/pics and she said that when she examined Houdini, she didn't feel any lumps, but that this was the cat's shoulder blades. She said to weigh the cat and if she had lost weight, I should call her. I took Houdini to the nearest big pet shop...

Need some advice.  I have a 1 yr-old stray who adopted me. I believe she is a Bengal due to her markings, chatting, and other characteristics. She is 10 lbs. Back in Oct. when I took her to the vet due to swollen tummy/aggressivness - she ate part of a gecko - the vet said that she was fat and...

Thanks!  My friends say I worry to much, but unlike a kid, Houdini can't tell me that something is hurting. So, I guess I will try not to worry so much. I did get some regular food and she loves it. So, I will switch out the 3 types of food so she doesn't get bored with her food. When I cook...

Houdini is about 10 lbs. so that is about what she should be eating. I have been giving her the Science Diet Light since she stopped eating the other light cat food (it is a local brand that the vet recommended, called Premier). I feed her Friskies wet food since she stopped eating the other...

Thanks Columbine! I think she is a happy cat, but as a first time solo cat owner, I tend to worry about her. I believe that bengals are one of the most high energy breeds. That could well explain the mad dashes around the house. This is one cat that will particularly benefit from lots of...

I was adopted by a stray cat  9 months ago and have some questions.  My kitty, Houdini, was sitting outside my apt. building last July and she followed me into my building complex (I live in Brazil, where most of the buildings are walled in with courtyards and gardens in the entrance.) I took...

Thanks Detmut! Unfortunately here in Brazil, vets don't let you call them and ask questions. They demand that you go into their office for them to check the animal out. I can't wait til I move back to the US where vets are more accomodating. I talked to some other people who said that I should...

Good info here. I thought I was going to have to take my finicky kitty to the vet. My Houdini normally chows down on the wet food, but does not want to eat any of it but the salmon flavor lately. She still inhales her kibble though. And loves to eat grass and bugs out in the yard. lol

I forgot to add that she has been eating a lot of grass and bugs in the yard. No pesticides here, so that isn't a worry. She loves playing with the water in the faucet, too. Thanks

Hello! My 1-yr-old cat suddenly decided she doesn't want to eat her wet food.  The vet prescribed her to eat 2 pouches (of 85g each) and 1/4 cup of dry food per day since she needs to lose weight. She has been on this diet since Nov. 2014. But she is an active cat, running around the yard, loves...

Thanks everyone!  You were right. She bounced back quickly and is back to her fat, sassy self. I was just worried since it was the first time I had cut her nails and I was a bit stressed out by it.  But I am sure after several more times, both of us will be used to it.

Hello all! Need some advice. My 1-yr-old cat, Houdini, does not like her nails done. I have taken her to three groomers/vets and she goes ballistic when someone tries to cut her nails. She claws, bites, and scared the crap out everyone who has tried to cut her nails. The vet suggested sedating...
