Stuck at home because of the virus, thought it would be good to give you a little update!
My parents and my brother have become more hands on with Izzy. My dad playing with her more often and my mom being considerate with the amount of noise she makes. My brother has been doing a lot of the...
A few months ago my vet said we should switch to a higher quality food (he's a big advocate for feeding animals the absolute best). So we did some research and decided Tiki Cat has to be one of the top brands and bought some. Here's the issue:
It is quite expensive for the amount they give you...
Yesterday, we took our 2 year old cat, Izzy, to the vet because she has been throwing up once a week. He said it wasn't serious and told us it might just be hairballs and gave us Laxatone. He also said it might be because of some ingredients like dyes in the food we food her, Friskies wet food...
Thank you for your input. I have much to think about and I will definitely take your comment into consideration as well as all the others. For now, I will try to enjoy all the time I have left with Izzy before I leave for college. I'll also look into possible temporary new owners for her. Like I...
Yeah, convincing my parents and brother to be more engaged is easier said than done. I know it will be difficult but I do want to keep Izzy. And if my family will not change, then I have full intention of giving her up to another family.
The college I am going to does not accept animals to live in the dorm except if they are support animals. Izzy is also a very shy and nervous cat especially around loud noises and new people. I don't think I'll have time to take care of her at college, sadly.
Yeah, I hope to work with them with the few months that I am still home to fix their ways for Izzy. A chore list is a really good idea, thanks! The college I will go to is only an hour away so I will be able to get to visit home every now and then.
I know it is not possible to avoid injuries and sickness but she has been sent to the vet a number of times which makes me feel like I am not being a good pet owner. Izzy is our first pet and I knew it would come with difficulties and the number of times we have had to go to the vet for her has...
Sadly, we have no family that are able to take care of Izzy. I would like to be able to have Izzy after I am done with college because I do not want her out of my life forever, which I know will make finding a new home for her more difficult.
Do you think if I were to able to convince my parents and my brother to change their ways then we would be able to keep her? I plan on having a serious discussion with them and telling them how I really feel. I would rather give her to another family rather than a no-kill shelter because she...
I got my cat, Izzy, about two years ago and she has been such a great addition to my family. However, I do not feel as though I am fit enough to be a cat owner. She has gotten sick several times, one being eating a long piece of string and needing surgery, having a parasite from a tick, and now...
Ah, thank you so much. Yes I keep offering food and she seems interested but it might be the surgery slowing her down. And probably her loss of weight within these few days.
Sorry, I haven't been going on this site often. Izzy and I have been doing amazing. She's such a funny girl and loves to play on her cat tree. She has been leaving the room we kept her in and now enjoys being in our living room. Just a few days ago she went to the vet because she swallowed...
