Finding a new hairdresser is the scariest for me but going to the dentist consistently is scarier. Once I have a hair dresser I like it isn't so bad. 

His results and a second opinion both came back IBD!! I'm so relieved it isn't cancer and now I feel like we can move forward. I hope they both calm down now that I'll be a little less of a basket case. Thank you for your help!

My vet actually gave me one (I think I must have sounded really panicked at the thought of giving meds alone) but I've also bought one on amazon. This is like the first one I've had.  I just bought this one. It seems to catch the medicine more so sometimes I have to push twice but I think that...

I went through phases where I had to give my cats medicine when I lived alone. I had one of those pill poppers (or pill gun) where you would place the pill in it and it shoots it further back in their throat. It was a life saver. I also would sit cross legged on the floor and hold the cats...

What a cutie!! We had a siamese growing up who was the sweetest cat. Quite the talker too.

I got my calico cat when she was 6 months old. My neighbor in an apartment complex had an indoor outdoor cat. Twix HATED that cat. She could see us if we even said hi to him and pouted. Luckily we were on the 2nd floor so he couldn't get to outside our window but if she even saw him downstairs...

Lots of good vibes for Sara!! I hope she turns a corner soon. You are a great cat mom.

I wear my winter jacket/sweater when I trim their nails to protect me. I also wrap their back claws in a towel (or their front depending on which side I'm doing). I also give them treats when I'm done. None of that seems to make it any more pleasant for any of us. 

I introduced my male cat to my female cat about 6 years ago. Phantom (the male) is quite the escape artist so the first day, he slipped through the door and they met each other. Both cats made noises that I didn't even know was possible for a live animal to make. I thought one of them had been...

Thank you for your help!! I separated them while I was at work yesterday, and that seemed to help a lot. Twix didn't hiss at Phantom once. We have also been giving her a lot of praise and attention when she sniffs him without hissing. I haven't been doing treats since I'm not sure what kind are...

Hi all! This is my first post. I'm currently waiting on either an IBD or lymphoma diagnoses on my 7 year old momma's boy black and white kitty. :-( He has been at the vet on and off for a week but he's been home since Friday afternoon. My question is about my very sweet but also sometimes very...
