    Could my cat have had a seizure?

    I already sent an e-mail to my vet asking about this, but I'm very attached to my cat Pi and waiting for my vet's reply is really hard right now, so I was wondering if anyone has had a similar experience and can chime in. For a little background, my cat's a rescue cat from a shelter and his only...

    Cats Living with Herpes, What to Expect??

    My cat was diagnosed with herpes after we brought him home from the shelter in March. At that time, he was really sick and needed fluids and a shot to bring down a high fever and eventually eye ointment. He gets Lysine every day. He got better, but was always stuffy and always sometimes...

    Night Time Crying, Pushing Things Over and Climbing on Stuff

    I am in absolute love with my kitty. He was adopted in March, is believed to be a little over a year old, is an indoor cat and is fixed. We are having a behavioral issue that's impacting our quality of life as we can't sleep through the night and are always tired.  Around a half hour after we...

    My cat responded to a ridiculous name I called him from the first time I ever said it!

    My cat's name is Pi. He was adopted as Joker in March, but never responded to that name. He learned Pi as his name very quickly and responds to that. However, the other day after a thunderstorm I was acting silly as I was petting him and called him Smootauff. He looked right up at me. About an...

    My cat is steadily gaining weight. :(

    I want to keep my cat Pi as healthy as possible. I feed him a varied high protein, grain free almost exclusively wet food diet. I recently started varying the protein we feed him after some advice I received in this forum

    My cat can sense my panic attacks somehow!

    This is very odd and I have no idea how it's even possible.  I suffer from panic attacks sometimes. When it happens and I'm not in public (it's easier to deal with at home), there are no outward symptoms. I just try to sit quiet and still until it passes. I don't breathe fast or make a noise or...

    Fish Allergy?

    My cat loves canned chicken cat food. We try to mix things up for him, but feed him mostly poultry canned food. Sometimes, we'll also feed him canned seafood or fish ones. We feed him Blue Buffalo. I've had my cat since March and I am just now noticing a pattern. He doesn't like the beef food...

    I was told my cat was 11 months in March but his coat is suddenly changing

    I adopted a shelter cat in March and was told he was 11 months old, though I'd assume this was an estimate as they told me he was born a stray.  He's a very big cat. He got sick the day after we brought him home and at his sickest, he weighed 11 lbs and he had a growth spurt since then.  Two...

    New cat with herpes gets worsening symptoms when home alone

    We adopted Pi in March (on Pi Day actually!). He just turned a year old last month. He had a nasty bout with herpes right after we brought him home. He's gotten a lot better except for some lingering effects. We have him on Lysine treats daily to help keep him healthy. I work from home and Pi...

    cat getting over URI, how long can it take?

    I got my beautiful 11 month old black cat from a shelter over a month ago (he turned a year old this month). We had to go to the ER less than two days later because he was sick. He had a fever and was sneezing. Two days later we were back, the fever was the same despite antibiotics and so it was...

    Hello!

    I just adopted a cat last month and our road has been a little rocky as far as kitty colds, etc. go, but it seems that with the help of an amazing vet and lots of TLC, we are finally coming out the other side now!!!  I love this guy! He turns a year old this month and is huge! He was about 11...

    Does my shelter cat appear to be part Oriental?

    I adopted a domestic shorthair cat last month and he just turned one year old. He is very long and shiny and weighs 11 lbs, though maybe more now as he's grown since we took  him home.. Just for fun, I was wondering if he appears to be part Oriental to any of you.

    My new shelter cat won't get over his cold!!!!

    This is so extremely frustrating. On March 13th, we adopted a gorgeous, very big and fit 11 month old black cat who we named Pi.  Within 48 hours, we were at the emergency vet because Pi had sneezed up some yellow stuff and sounded stuffy. We couldn't tell too much from his behavior how he was...
