Happy Birthday my sweet Lola, the sweetest cat ever, happy birthday even if I can't celebrate it with you, but you know you are always in my heart and mind, always!
You would have been 24 years old today, and I know, I am sure that you would have lived to be this old if it weren't for that nasty...
I fully understand you, I really do.
My younger cat had something that looked like a seizure in March 2021. It all began with her laying peacefully on my lap when I was watching the TV, then she slowly moved to the small table next to the sofa, she sat there for a couple of second, then she...
Using something like a container or a stick tied to a long string to prop the trap door open is fine too.
The remote control, though, allows you to be a little farther away from the trap, even inside your home behind the window, or in your car when away from home.
I know the frustration of not catching the last feral in the colony or the most resistant cat in the colony.
I had to face both situations. Years back I couldn't catch a young female cat, and I feared she could give birth to a litter of kittens before I was able to trap her, then, eventually, I...
Surely he hears you coming up the stairs, they can hear much more and better than we can.
The cat in my avatar could hear me coming from far, both when I was driving and when I was walking, and would jump in the window to greet me.
In doubt, can you leave a voice recorder in the apartment when...
This is the most touching poem that I had read ever.
There was a time when I knew it by heart, and I would say it in my mind a couple of times a day.
The very first time I read it was in a graveyard in Killorglin, county Kerry, Ireland, during one of my several trips to the Emerald Isle.
I...
I don't how the weather in your area is like. But if it's cold, and the kitten has stayed out in the cold, give him a warm spot, or put him under a blanket with warmth source, like a bottle with warm water in.
I'm so sorry for your beautiful Autumn, such a beautiful name too.
I hope she didn't suffer much and that her passing was easy. She won't forget you, the love that you gave her, the good times you had together. Now she's with Domino again, away from your eyes, but not from your heart, and surely...
You must be so proud of your Vincie girl, she was a character and a strong figure in your neighborhood. I'm sure that most people around you will remember her, even the pit bull she used to chase off.
She will be on her soft cloud telling others of her great adventures, and they will all listen...
Yesterday was 50 days since my yard cat went missing. No trace of her anywhere. No rescue or shelter has received her. Clinics and practices here around didn't see her. My neighbors didn't see her. I haven't found her, or any hints of her.
Though I still hope she's alive somewhere, I am starting...
Happy birthday my beloved Pallina, you are not forgotten, you are still here in my heart, every single moment, every single day. So many things around me and in my daily life remind me of you constantly. Your name is on my lips everyday, I still dream of you.
I am so proud of you, and I wish to...
If any cat steps on the litter it should leave at least one footprint on it, and you should see it.
Also, most litters track, so if a cat has walked on the litter, you should see some of it right outside the tray.
My cat with Pyoderma was seen by a vet Friday morning (Thursday was a national holiday here, so I had to wait) and the vet told me to do nothing but keep the area clean and sanitized with chlorhexidine and said that I could apply a cream to help skin to regenerate, any OTC cream that any...
I'm deeply sorry for the loss of your beloved Pumpkin, but you know you did what was best for him.
You showed you your love till the end, by standing next to him, speaking sweet words to him, holding his paw till the last second and beyond.
He went to the bridge with these three gifts and this...
I just found out that April 17th is Tortieshell Cats Appreciation Day.
Tortie Cats Appreciation Day
It was created by Ingrid King in 2020, and though the day hasn't been officially recognized yet, Ingrid is encouraging people with tortie cats to spread awareness and appreciation on these...
The rule I knew was
RER = 70 + (30 * kg) kcal
where a 4 kg cat has to eat at least 190 kcal a day (RER stands for Resting Energy Requirement).
My cat had an oral carcinoma too, and I was never able to have her eat the minimum requirement. I was syringe feeding her.
Yes, I edited my post, thank you. I don't know what happened, I never used that link and I struggled at editing the thread. No way I could insert the right URL, it kept using the wrong one. I had to edit it at least a dozen times. Thanks.
In a a previous thread of mine I told how my cat licked obsessively the inner of her hind leg after a blood sampling and this led to pyoderma.
She had to wear the cone for 7 weeks, until 10 days ago. The vets said that her skin was probably disturbed by the clipper blades.
Today I noticed that...
It is possible that his energy, friendliness and good mood were needed up there, to cheer up a place where other cats were so sad and shy. You are the proud parents of good-hearted angel.
