    New kitty coming home tomorrow!

    A friend of a friend posted on Facebook, desperately looking for a home for her kitty. She's going through a lot right now, her bf has cancer, she's not supposed to have a cat in her apartment and her landlord found out and she's just heartbroken. She doesn't want him to go to a shelter - she's...

    Fat cats

    My vet gives me a hard time every time the kids go in. They're all very healthy and well cared for but they're all about a 6 or 7 on the body score scale.  Right now I feed Purina Indoor dry - yeah, not the best food I know but my budget is kind of full with law school, 2 horses and 3 kitties...

    Oops is missing her Uncle Pikachu

    We lost our beloved Pikachu last October. To the kittens, he was Uncle Pika and Oops especially adored him. She would trill at him, and roll on her back beguiling him into gentle play. She cuddled with him. When he was very ill, all the kittens were sensitive to him and kept watch but she was...

    Rocky likes to hump my bathrobe

    ~sigh~ Rocky is about 18 months old. He was neutered when he was about 5 or 6 months old. He'd just discovered that he was a boy. Every once in a blue moon he'll try to hump Oops (who basically just ignores him until he goes away) but he loves  my bathrobe. Hard to blame him. I love it too...

    Do your cats stick by you when you're sick?

    Mine do. Oops especially but all three of them. I was laid up all day today with a migraine and the entire time I had at least one cat snuggled up next to me. It's amazingly comforting. They don't bug me for dinner or anything either - they wait until my husband is home and ask him. Such little...

    I need to write a tribute to Pikachu

    I only recently joined the site so none of you knew Pikachu. I wish you had. He was an amazing cat, a survivor, a traveler, a diplomat and a sheer joy. He was one of the sweetest, most open cats I've ever met. I miss him every day. Pika was my 34-year-old daughter's cat. He was born in...

    Any experience with early monitoring for HCM?

    Very recently, I lost my daughter's beloved cat Pikachu to HCM (hypertrophic cardiomyopathy). Pika was first diagnosed when he was 2 years old. At that time, he went into heart failure unexpectedly and was rushed to the emergency vet where they were able to save him. His recovery was hard and my...

    Hello from my 3-cat family

    Hi. I'm happy to find a place where I can talk about cats with people who won't just get a glazed look in their eyes and start looking at their watch. I have always loved cats but somehow had never found The Cat - the one that just completely stole my heart - until now. That cat is my little...
