Hello everyone. I just adopted a kitty from the pound two weeks ago. He is such a love, but we are off to a rough start. He has a nasty cold so he probably doesn't feel well. But we saw the vet and he is on medicine. I also have a dog who loves the kitty, Oscar, and Oscar folllowes my dog around and has become the boss of the dog! Too cute. I even caught them snuggling. Well this is my first cat, so I will probably ask lots of questions.

Welcome!
You've absolutely come to the right place. There are a lot of opinions here, a lot of solid information, and a lot of good people!

How old is your new family member?

Glad he's been to the vet -- "colds" aren't "fun"!

Good for you for adopting and saving a life!

Gloria

Thanks everyone. Oscar was listed as being between 8-12 weeks old. And that was 2 weeks ago. He wasn't too active, because I suppose he hasn't been feeling well. Well after 4 days of medicine, look out! He must be feeling better. He just zips around and plays with the dog nonstop. Then he wants snuggle time.

Does anyone use Soft Paws? The seem pretty cool and I don't want to declaw. Even after trimming his nails, they hurt! Thanks for any help.

Welcome you and Oscar both to the site

I sure hope little Oscar is feeling better soon


You will find a lot of information on Soft Paws in our Care and Grooming section of the forum. Many members have found them to be very sucessful.

Oscar sounds like a very special boy! And you are so lucky that he and the dog have started out to be such best buddies.
