    Ear Polyps

    Dianee - Simba eats perfectly fine, though he does have IBD which causes him to throw up often. His polyps only seem to cause him some balance issues, mostly because he does shake his head when they are itchy. But other than that, his polyps don't really cause him any issues. I'm very sorry to...

    Senior Cat Weight Issue

    I have written in the past about my senior cat, Simba. I've only had him since March, but it seems like I've had him longer. Shortly after I adopted him, I took him to the vet for the amount of times he would vomit in a day. He was diagnosed with IBD and given a treatment. His puking has...

    Older Cat Change in Behavior

    On March 11 of this year, I adopted a 10 1/2 year old cat named Simba. He had been at the humane society where I adopted him from for over 5 years, so I decided he needed a forever home. I have two other cats that came from the same humane society (Spock and Buffy), though they never crossed...

    Ear Polyps

    I thought I would post an update about Simba. I took him to see a second vet last week. The vet basically said the same thing as the vet the humane society took him to said: because of where his polyps are, it's best to leave them alone, especially since they aren't bleeding when he scratches...

    Ear Polyps

    Isn't he just the sweetest looking boy? He's very needy too, which makes my heart melt even more. I thought his ears were dirty myself, but when I got to have a closer look, they look dusty  if anything. Weird, eh? I've touched the outside of his ear several times, and he shies away from my...

    Ear Polyps

    Here's a picture of Simba...if you look at the ear on the left (his right ear), you can see the polyps (those greyish bumps). He has clusters in each ear. What the first vet was most concerned about was the placement of the polyps. Because of where they are, if surgery were to happen, it would...

    Ear Polyps

    Recently, I adopted my 3rd cat, a 10-year-old boy named Simba. He had been at the humane society I volunteer with for over FIVE years; I adopted him so he could finally have his own home. He's healthy, other than the fact that he has ear polyps in each ear...and has apparently had them for some...

    Crazy Cat Lady (Minus the Crazy)

    Hi there everyone! I decided to join this site as a resource for all things cats. I recently moved out of my parents' house a few months ago and shortly after I got settled in, I adopted my 2 furbabies. They are Spock and Buffy (nerdy, I know).  This wide-eyed cutie is Spock. He's around a...

    Picky Eaters...?

    Thank you for that extensive list of brands to try! I've been feeding them Wellness because of the reviews and ingredients. I used to give them the Temptations cat treats that cats go bonkers over, but after reading reviews about it being horrible for them, I stopped giving them those. I think...

    Picky Eaters...?

    Ok, so here's what's up. I adopted my 2 furbabies, Spock and Buffy, going on 2 months ago now (Spock is around 1 year old and Buffy is 3-4 years old). I have been feeding them Wellness foods, both dry and wet. I leave a small bowl of the Wellness Complete Health Deboned Chicken, Chicken Meal &...

    Multiple Male Cats Peeing

    My family and I have 16 cats total (we live on a 50 acre farm). Of the 16, only 6 stay "outside," meaning they don't come in the house (but stay in either the barn or garage). Of the 10 inside, 6 are allowed outside (2 stay for short periods of time and the other 4 range from short periods to...
