Thanks for the warm welcome, Mom's actually been lurking at this site for a while. I am in her signature, but I'm the third kitty in. It goes in this order. Mack is first, he's the baby, only 5 months old, and, if you will pardon the expression, a real PIA. I have to constantly let him know...

Hello Everyone, I am Sammi, the eldest member (I'm 18 years old, and proud of it! ) of 2kittymom's fur family. (SSh.. don't tell anyone, but she's actually a 3 kitty mom now!) I just wanted to know if there are any other seniors out there that still play with their toys at all hours of the...

Thank goodness some of you with older kitties have had experiences with this. I have dreaded having to make a decision on a treatment in which his age would be a determining factor on the treatment's success. He goes to vet almost everytime something out of the ordinary presents itself. I...

We have been keeping an eye Sammi's teeth for awhile now, the vet has stated previously that he does have dental disease, but did not believe it was at the point that it needed intervention. But, he has started to swallow his kibble whole and not chew it. I think this is why he is vommiting...

Has any one had a dental cleaning done on a senior kitty? It is looking like my 18 year old kitty is going to be in need of some dental work and I would like to hear from others who have their senior teeth worked on. We have an appointment next week with the vet, for an exam and bloodwork to...

I too have a 7 year old cat that is quite obese, 23lbs. We too have issues with her urinating just out side the boxes. We have 4 boxes (3 cats), 1 automatic littermaid, 1 round automatic box, 1 under the bed rubbermaid storage bins, and one extra extra large litterbox we found at petsmart...

I live very close to Glendale Hts, IL and I know of the Shark City, although I wasn't aware of it being a concert venue. However, yes it's about a 2 1/2 to 3 hour drive from Champaign. Especially, with the construction going on. If you need any other info, please let me know.

I just signed up my 2 younger cats with VPI, and got the vaccination and routine care coverage. Never had Pet Insurance before, so I decided to try it for a year and see if I still felt it was worth it. On 8/3, I submitted my first claim for vaccs and care, and today I received a check for...

My experience with cats and balconies is rather humorous. Years ago, I shared a second floor apartment, with 2 other girls, and five cats. One of the cats favorite pass time would be to sun bathe on the balcony. Young as each of us were, we never thought about the cats falling or jumping off...

Hi Thank you all for the responses. Please be assured that Callie has been eating, just not her food. I feed each cat in different rooms because each cat has a different type of diet. Callie is usually fed first, this usually keeps her from the other cat's food bowls and gives the two other...

I am in need of advice concerning the feeding of my cats. I have 3, Sammi, a 18 year neutered male, Callie, a 5 year old spayed female, and Kiki, a 5 month old female. They are all fed twice a day. Kiki, was switch over to Royal Canin kitten food from Purina kitten chow, shortly after she...

I'm so sorry to hear about your loss. I have a 3 month old Kitten that was diagnosised with coccidia thru a fecal exam two weeks ago. She has been on liquid Albon since then, and has another week to go on the medication. I am concerned after reading these post, I was unaware that coccidia...

I just wanted to let all of you nice people know I appreciated all your advice. Sadly, Mercedes was unjustly(IMO) PTS this afternoon. The vet was able make an appointment for him this morning for a healthcheck and his shots so he could be neutred later on in the week. Since I had to work, my...

Update-- we finally have the cat contained. Btw, his name is Mercedes, I guess I shoud stop referring to him as "the cat". So, I talked to the family's father this morning, and he admitted that Mercedes was not neutered, but did have his kitten shots. (I forgot to ask which vet they used)...

Thanks, for your replies. First the cat is eating and using a litter box. I placed several food bowls and litterboxes around the house, even in the basement. They have been used. He evidently was in the basement during the night because when I checked it in the morning and the litterbox had...
