This is interesting to me because we were discussing tonight whether to continue FF or not. Have been giving it to two of our older cats (12 & 13) for years and neither has had health issues. What prompted this is our most recent purchase of a multi box from Chewy.com Now,before I go further I...
Thanks so much to all who replied. Now have tons of fleece throws and warm beds. Not usually this cold in Dec here, so we may be facing some chilly months. Fortunate to have a big fireplace which all the fur kids love. they're protected from igniting like little furry fireballs by screen and...
Thanks so much for quick reply. She actually has 11 buddies inside now and all really love her. Good thing because some of them are big enough to saddle and ride,lol. No, haven't ever clothed one and you are so right, they don't like that. Just sent hubby to get more fleece throws. Since we...
As I've said on here before, we have a very tiny 2 yr old kitty. We keep our home pretty cool during the winter (in the deep south) but worried about her a bit. Wondered if anyone has ever used any kind of clothing on their cats. Have to believe that it would be difficult to keep a kitty in...
We have 12 babies inside and more ferals outside, so buy a huge amount of both dry and moist. I just ordered the 32 Pk variety from Chewy.com for $10.87 and the 24 Pk mariners for $11.52. Cheaper than Walmart and no tax with fast shipping. Good luck with your search. 9786
God bless you for what you're doing. You've certainly provided a great life for your guys. We have a similar situation and are in our late 60s so sure understand how it is. With 12 inside and 13 outside, seems that's all we do, but can't imagine any other life. I really wish we could afford...
We just went through this with our 3 lb Baby, and that's what her normal weight is. Obviously,she can't afford to lose any weight. She was diagnosed with a URI and tested positive for feline leukemia, so this has been a real battle. She's been on a powerful antibiotic, which has really cleared...
Although we feed the adopted ones outside some canned food and a steady supply of dry, almost everyday somebody shows up with a squirrel or bird (and,strangely enough, we have lots of them too). We always praise the hunter for doing such a good job.Feel like they need to be encouraged to fo what...
We have 12 babies inside and 13 outside (almost sll altered). Because of our limited funds, we do use Friskies canned, but they are only fed moist once a day. They have a steady supply of multiple dry foods, including Fancy Feast, Surf and Turf, Purina One and Friskies Indoor. I so wish we could...
We have a tiny 2 yr old cat witj a feline leukemia diagnosis as of this past week. She had always been very healthy, despite her small size. When our entire household of kitties {12} got URIs, she was the last one to catch it. Btw, all are strictly indoor. Rest had healed rapidly, but we decided...
Posted a few days ago about the outbreak of URIs in our 12 cat household. Because our youngest and smallest wasn't recovering well (had already been to vet and taking antibiotic for a week), took her to vet yesterday and had blood test done. As I was afraid of, she was diagnosed with feline...
So very sorry for the loss of your little one. We lost two babies this year, one just a few weeks ago. I truly do understand where you are right now. Seems that there's no real way to ease this pain, but know you're not alone. You gave your baby love and kindness and you'll always have that, and...
Love hearing about your little Apollo. Will be trying this with Baby in a few minutes after everybody gets dinner. I really appreciate your response. Afraid I've been lax in my attention to this grest site. With 27 cats (in and out), I haven't found much time to get online. Trying to improve :)
Have heated food, but she's still not hungry. Will try the steam. She seems a bit perkier today, so maybe on her way to recovery. She might have recovered on her own, but didn't want to take a chance. Really appreciate your input
Thanks so much, DreamerRose. Most of the furkids are doing well, except for our tiny Baby, 3 yrs old but size of a kitten. On antibiotics and all others getting lysine. All sneezing has disappeared and no one ever really had nasal discharge.old babies have taken longer than younger ones. But...
Always send before finished :). Anyway, we think all the big guys and girls are much better. No one coughing or sneezing any longer. As I said before, with this many, we have been so fortunate with no illness. Agin, ty much for responding
Tysm for your response, Mrsgreenjeens. Guess I was a little vague. This am we took our youngest (and smallest) to vet. Did diagnose with URI and sent us home with antibiotics for her and lysine supplements for rest. Everybody, except Baby seems fine tonight. Baby is 2 yrs old, but never grew any...
