    Extreme pickiness is driving me insane!

    Juliet has been picky about food pretty much the entire 2 years I've had her but lately her pickiness is off the charts and driving me absolutely insane. There are days where I just want to throw in the towel and exclusively feed her the dry food that I know she'll eat but I'm trying so hard not...

    Cat having diarrhea, Fortiflora helped then made it worse!

    Contessa started has been having soft stool for awhile. I took in a VERY fresh stool sample (like I put it in a bag 2 seconds after she pooped and ran it over the to vet lol) a couple weeks ago and they found no parasites. Our vet can't get us in for weeks so we decided to try Fortiflora. At...

    Cat vomiting undigested food hours after eating

    Juliet last ate today around 12pm and it is currently 9pm. She just vomited and every bit of it was undigested food. I've never in my life seen a cat throw up undigested food this far after eating, any ideas what might be going on? Definitely going to call the vet in the morning. She's...

    Cat refusing to eat suddenly and seems afraid of her bowl?

    My cat Juliet is suddenly refusing to eat from her bowl. It's a raised bowl with a saucer-type top and it's made of ceramic (this one from Chewy). She's eaten from this bowl for months and starting last night, she is acting as though she is afraid of it. She just had a vet visit last Tuesday...

    Catit Gold Fern Air-dried food, any thoughts?

    Hi all! I was in my local pet store this weekend looking for a dry food I could use to supplement Juliet since I think she is slightly underweight. She will eat canned but often doesn't want to finish it but she loves dry treats and will eat them even immediately after she's walked away from her...

    How would you describe Contessa, particularly her coloring?

    I posted about Juliet so now I'd love to hear what you all think of Contessa. The shelter said she's a ragdoll but I don't think she is. She's just a big framed long hair girl (she's 11.5 pounds and she is very strong lol). Her coloring is so interesting, I don't know how to best describe it...

    Does Juliet look like a Turkish Angora?

    My husband and I adopted Juliet (and her not-actually-related sister Contessa) a couple months ago and I can't help but feel she has some Turkish Angora in her (although I know without papers I can't actually call her a Turkish Angora). She's a lanky girl who is very vocal, active and acrobatic...

    Is it normal for cat's whiskers to be cut during dental surgery?

    Both of my kitties went in yesterday for a dental cleaning and they each had teeth that needed to be pulled. Contessa went first and when they came home, she was 100% back to normal. She was eating, playing, and was not wobbly at all. Juliet went second (she woke up from surgery about 2 hours...

    Should I be concerned about these marks/scabs on Juliet's nose?

    My husband and I just adopted Juliet (and her sister Contessa) on November 18th. We took them to the vet on November 24th and the vet mentioned that Juliet's nose was a little red and cautioned us to keep her out of the window since her coloring and skin make skin cancer more likely. We kept her...

    Recently adopted bonded pair doesn't seem too bonded

    I recently adopted two female cats who were listed as a bonded pair who had lived together for 5 years. Their former owners got divorced and surrendered the cats to a rescue. They didn't stay in the shelter long, they went to a foster home for at least a week or two. That's all I know of their...

    Not exactly new but I'm here with new kitties

    Hello all! My name is Jess. I've been a member here for several years and you all have been so wonderful and kind to me. I figured I'd come officially introduce myself! I'm in my 30s, married (since 2008) and I live in Indiana (it's boring here y'all). No kids but I am a proud kitty mama! My...

    Flakes' Story (long and lots of pictures)

    Flakes crossed the rainbow bridge 2 and a half weeks ago after a short battle with cancer. He was a major part of my life for well over a decade and I miss him so very much. Let me tell you his story. He started out at a shelter where my mom's neighbor adopted him. He had been declawed by a...

    Flakes might have cancer - I'm scared and I'm angry

    I just found out today that my cat Flakes might have cancer. The vet seemed quite sure but they took a sample to send out to a pathologist to confirm and we should know within about 2 days. My sweet furbaby is at least 16 years old and he's been a part of my family for over 15 years. He was...

    Back To Back Uris Or Feline Herpes Flaring Up?

    Flakes just had an upper respiratory infection last month and he received a shot of Convenia which worked well and had no side effects that I could tell. A couple days ago I noticed that his eyes were watery but I thought it might be allergies from a new treat I started giving him so I stopped...

    I think my cat hates me

    Flakes has been my cat for about 10 years now. My mom got him from a neighbor and although we had 2 other cats, I bonded mostly with Flakes and when I moved out and moved in with my husband, I took him with me. Flakes took an instant liking to my husband that has only grown through the years and...

    Cat is limping and randomly cried earlier while just laying around

    I'm really stressed out and have no idea what to do. Flakes is ~12 years old and he developed a limp recently. I noticed it yesterday and it's still there today. He was acting normally yesterday - eating, drinking, pooping, etc. Today he seems worse. He ate all of his breakfast but none of his...

    I swear my cat is bulimic!

    Okay so I've had Flakes for 7 years now (he was my mom's cat before I adopted him, her house was way too stressful for him) and he's always been a cat that throws up a lot. It used to just be that he'd find bits of plastic on the floor, chew and eat them, and then throw up. Over the years it has...

    Cat is sneezing a LOT!

    Okay so on Friday, I took my cat Flakes to a new vet (we recently moved away from our old vet who was awesome) and we got him a checkup, bloodwork, urinalysis, and 2 vaccines - rabies and panleuk, both 3 year versions. About an hour after we got home, Flakes started vomiting and looked very...
