Personally I would have called the Humane Society on her. A cat that sick shouldn't have been wondering around outside for all that time. You certainly did the right thing! Poor little guy, he's in a better place thanks to you.
Hi Serifini,
It's been a while since I've posted here but couldn't help but reply to you. Back in February we rescued a kitten(7months) that was hanging over a wire fence covered in snow. At first glance we thought she was dead, but when we approached her she lifted her head and meowed softly...
Sorry to hear what you're going thru, been there and done that and it certainly isn't easy. First of all I don't feel that 14 is that old, all of our cats have lived up to 20+ years. If you have the means I would highly recommend that you have your vet refer you to an internal specialist. One...
I'm soooo having second thoughts about giving her away. We brought her out of isolation on Sunday and the change in her is amazing. She hasn't bit or swatted since. Her bahavior is that of a cat who has lived here all her life. She moves freely throughout the house with no fear from anyone...
Yes she will have adjustment time, we've explained the whole process to our friend. We've told him not to expect them to be chums in a day or so, but that the whole process will take a few weeks.
Whitby UPDATE!
Well, well, well, so Whitby is now out of isolation and is mixing well with the gang of 4 cats and 2 dogs. There are still a few hisses and growls but thats to be expected for a couple more days. Hell, our cats still hiss and growl at each other every now and then! We decided...
Hi there,
There's is absolutely nothing wrong with you cat! Don't even think about that. The problem is the demon child! The next time that child is at your house and is harassing any of your pets may I suggest a good swat on the behind, not the cat, the kid! No parent should allow a child...
Hi there,
We always trim the fur around one of ours cats behind. Without the trim I'll be constantly cleaning up her bum. We use electric hair trimmer/clippers and it works just fine! Although she complains about it being done, she does appreciate it because when she does have a cling on...
Hi Jessica,
We called her Whitby, after the town we found her in. She's doing very well now, she's gained some weight and always insists on sitting on my lap when I go to visit with her. Last night we opened her door and she explored the other bedroom and bathroom. All the cats and dogs had a...
I understand what your going thru. We had the same issue with our old lady Sara, may she rest in peace. She was 21 when we lost her. Around age 17 she started peeing on the floor. At first we didn't know which cat was doing it, we have 4, so we set up the cam and let it run all day. Upon...
Sorry about your loss.
Definately check out the shelters, they always seem to have siblings in together. As far as the playful thing is concerned, they're always playful at any age(just like humans!)
My ten year old cat sometimes bites for no apparent reason, usually when she's sittin in my lap. When she does I hiss at her like a mother cat would and she's stop immediately and settles right down. It's not cure but it seems to remind her that what she's doing is wrong. Immediately after...
Yes, it may be cruel, but my partner sure enjoys shining it on my leg! We're all suffering from cabin fever. My cats do the same thing, when I let my dogs out they all come to door, sniff the frigid air, turn and run and swat each other along the way.
Hi Ashleigh, I was told that it's the same type of movement that kittens do to their mother when their nursing. Not sure if it's true or not but that's what I've been told. Sure is cute though when they do it, also a good way to determine when it's time to clip their claws! OUCH.
I understand exactly what you're going thru. It's been an extremely cold winter here in Toronto and my cats haven't been out for several months due to the extreme cold. My cats are only allowed in the backyard that has a high fence. I've noticed lately too that all 4 of my cats are getting a...
