Some of you may remember I lost my kitty Oscar to an errant car a few weeks ago, and today adopted Remy (2yrs, domshrthr) from the local Humane S. folks. He's a total lover boy, and I want to nurse him well, and make him one of our family, but I fear Peritonitis big time now, plus, DAMN, the...

I started a new thread because this is mostly about what you all advise I do in re: getting Francis a new companion. But I found out from a neighbor that Oscar was found with his little head crushed, (thank I didn't see him actually) and someone saw a car speeding out of our sleepy development...

Hi ya'all, I'm new here. I have two mature male kitties, both neutered early on, and neither one has bad habits (well, okay one will shred paper left on the floor and mutilate toilet paper rolls if he can grab one). But they both do something none of my other kitty companions over the years...

These are my live-in boyfriends, Oscar and Francis. Oscar (12, the top pic, grey one) moved in at age 6 weeks when he implored me to get him out of the filthy Sonoma County, CA pound, and Francis (8) was 2 when he escaped from a frat house and chose our place to hang out. The boys get along...
