Hello. I am the benevolent guardian of 3 cats, 2 dogs, 2 guinea pigs and 1 human girlchild. The human girlchild, who I did actually give birth to, is 13 and is largely responsible for the fact we do have the companion animal menagerie we care for.
Although I've found great cat info all over the 'net about topics such as feeding, vaccinating (or not) how to introduce dogs to cats and how to introduce another cat to cats, I'd not found a cat forum I really loved. I do have gp and dog forums I like and respect and a local general pet one, but only stumbled on this huge and wonderful CatSite a couple of days ago when searching for info on Hills s/d, seeing as two days ago we had to take one of our 2.5 yr old cat boys to the vet, having noticed blood in his urine. That's a topic for health and nutrition, of course, so will now just describe some of the furbabies.
Cats are; Elrond the elvish, who is 2.5, male, caramel and white and is the ill boy; Chutney, very nearly named Samwise but whose particular shade of ginger tabby and white reminded us of Mango Chutney, 2.5, male; and Chickpea, tabby male, 1 yr who came with the house we moved into last year.
Our kitties are all indoor only cats, which has not been that common in New Zealand outside of breeders of exotics, so we're unusual in making that choice for our three in our provincial town.
Although I've just had a very reassuring conversation with one of the vet nurses at our local clinic about how repulsive the s/d food seems to be so far to the boy who needs it, you may yet see me in health and nutrition, where btw, I've read lots of the very helpful threads about flutd and related issues.
