Hey, that’s a pretty well-aged tattoo for being 12 years old! No, I’m not tattooing my kitties. Although I reckon though little fake tattoo sleeves that you slide on would be pretty cute in cat size. His ear was this way when we adopted him. The vet said it was likely caused by hematoma. I...

Ohhh yes sign me up for catacombs and cemeteries and other creepy places! Love the macabre.

Whoops.. November.* Wish I had had a month longer with the stinker.

St. Petersburg, Russia! I have degrees in French and Russian. I have lived in Paris briefly but have never been to Russia and would love to go, of course. Also... Wales! My ancestors are Welsh, my last name is literally Welch, and heritage is so interesting and important to me. Also, it’s a...

There’s likely a thread on this but I cannot find one... just wanted to share my tattoo of my first kitty as an adult who crossed the rainbow bridge in December. This is Hanzee and his likeness! (I love his crazy eyes in this photo of him. Hahaha.) My artist did an awesome job and it has healed...

When the peeing and pooping outside of the box first happened his was my first fear! I got them both tested for UTIs, and they were clean. I also have both of their full medical records from kittenhood to present and neither have ever had a recorded UTI. So I feel fairly confident that t is...

Thank you all so much for your replies and kindness. ❤️ I do feel that this is the right decision, no matter or hard it is. If he lives out his days in the shelter, i know he has kitty friends there, and if he finds a new adopter, i would be over the moon to vouch for this great cat. Whenever...

Hi there. I know exactly how you feel. In February of 2017 my husband and I adopted a 10 year old former stray and he became the light of our lives. He had so many health problems, and we eventually found that at the root of them all was stage 3 kidney disease. We fought it as best we could and...

I hope this doesn’t make anyone grieving more upset. It was comforting to me, so I hoped I might help someone else. When my baby, Hanzee, died of kidney failure in November, I was determined to have his ashes made into something I could keep near me. I chose Golden Grove Jewelry to make my...

Hello all. I’m making this post because I am heartbroken and eaten up with guilt about the decision I have had to make. My husband and I will be returning our second cat, Kokomo, to the shelter from which we adopted him. I will give some backstory. We have a senior (15yo) cat who grew up with...

Update after a few days! Keecha didn’t vomit any more after the last time I reported here. His appetite is back, he’s active, is back to enjoying affection (including belly rubs), and has been pooping regularly so I’m not worried about blockage anymore! Pretty sure he just overate. So I’ve been...

Update again: he’s still sleeping but purrs when I walk by. Also I called my mother-in-law and asked if she’d had this problem with him before and she said “Only when he over-eats on his dry food.” So I’ll still keep an eye on him to make sure he doesn’t have some kind of larger problem but it...

I also wonder if perhaps he is overeating? I try to keep an eye on his portions, but in any case he loves food. He’s not too interested in people food but loves his cat food and goes at it like he is starving 100% of the time so he eats fast and he eats all of the food in his bowl. He’s also...

Thanks so much for your reply! I’m sure there is a 24-hour vet in the area that I can find if things keep it up or worsen. He’s still sleeping, seemingly comfortably, now. He’s stopped smacking his lips also. Those are things I should have included, my bad! Yes, we’ve kept those things all the...

Hello everyone, Excuse the long post! I get long winded in forums, especially about my fur babies. I was going to make a post soon about adopting a new kitty since the death of my Hanzee in November. But I had another question about him first that was a bit more pressing. A little bit of...
