Looks like a beautiful long-haired tabby.

I live in a small town so the cremains are shipped back to our vet where they are picked up. When Tails' cremains arrived, the vet called and I went down to pick up his cremains. Tails cremains were in a nice wooden box, with his name inscribed on top, and the box was wrapped in blue velvet. I...

I'm sorry for your loss. It's amazing how our fur babies enter our lives so completely and when they are gone the void is keenly felt. hugs!

I've already taken appropriate action. Old, retired reporters still have contacts :-) I know someone named Barbara not Barbra. The name can be spelled either way :-) :-)

There are trade-offs between dry food and soft food. Dry food can increase the chances of causing FLUTD, but you can purchase dry food that is designed to be low in ash and other components that help increase the chances for FLUTD. Canned food may contain too much protein and is hard on kidneys...

Margret I am so sorry for misspelling your name. Please forgive my error. As to changing the rules:  A city can not change the rules without public notification and a public hearing. The council members then can approve or deny the change in city code. Changes in city code can not be done by...

I I have clearly stated this is a public animal shelter. The provisions for adopting a cat maybe honorable but were put in place against city municipal code and without public input. Also, the "requirement" of adopting out indoor only cats is against the current city muni code. I also believe...

Augie looks to be a silver tabby probably. A very unusual but lovely color.

I am sorry for the loss of your baby Simon. You did everything you could. I'm sure Simon and Augie are playing together at the Rainbow Bridge.  Here's a brief explanation of the Rainbow Bridge courtesy of Wikipedia: "The story tells of a green meadow located "this side of Heaven" (i.e., before...

Margaret, The problem is our local public animal shelter developed rules outside of the approved city municipal code. If the changes in city code was put to a public vote that means public input was involved. There was no public input. Also, there is nothing in the city muni code about keeping...

I am so sorry for the loss of your sweet Talus. I'm sure he felt all the love you gave him during his last hours and I know you'll be seeing him again at the Rainbow Bridge.

StefanZ I don't know much about this aspect of cat care. I've always had my cats spayed or neutered promptly. The earliest neuter was done at 8 weeks as my kitten needed abdominal surgery and I figured while the vet was at it he could neuter the kitten. My brother was a Yorkie breeder so I could...

I'm broken hearted and need to vent. I'm recovering after my old cat Tails was put down due to intestinal cancer. I'm not quite ready to adopt another cat, that will be awhile, but I thought I'd do some research. I was thinking about adopting a retired show cat as I am currently without any...

Sounds like things are back to normal and that's good. Do TRY to keep mama cat in the house if at all possible at it only takes once to have her pregnant again. I don't know if they make barrier pants for cats but they do for dogs. The barrier pants help prevent pregnancy. You'll have to ask...

When we are gone for the day I make sure our cat had access to the outdoors as he came to us as an indoor/outdoor cat. If we plan to go on vacation, I always made arrangements to have a family member come by and check on our cat (s). Our cats have drop feeders and plenty of water but it never...

The adoptive mama cat will teach the kittens the skills they need. Don't worry :-) The very first cat I adopted when I was a newlywed nursed a puppy and taught him how to use the litter box. Some lucky dog owner has a dog that can dig holes to hide his messes. 

Please get her checked at the vet and inquire about spaying. It's easier for the pet owner and healthier for the cat if the cat is spayed. Unspayed cats are at greater risk of developing cancer than spayed females. There are low cost spay and neuter programs available and I bet your vet would...

A sweet tortoiseshell kitty. She is lovely and her face is so sweet.

I feel guilty as I've always fed my cats Purina Urinary Tract formula. I thought it was good for my kitties. When my cats are sick, I will feed them Gerber chicken baby food or cook up and puree chicken breasts for them to eat.
