    Hobie, a Red Classic Tabby Maine Coon: July 16, 1999 - November 4, 2019

    So sorry for your loss. The senior kitties can teach us so much...they are so special. What a wonderful thing you did to take Hobie in and care for him in the wintertime of his life!

    The holidays are tough

    Awww....those Blue cats sure are special. My new kitten, Nintu is a purebred Australian Mist cat, like Blue. "Nintu" was Blue's pedigree family name, and I made Nintu's middle name Blue. That way every time I say his name it's a reminder of good old Blue. Thanks for all the support and ideas...

    The holidays are tough

    Thanks so much everyone. It sounds like a lot of us lost our special friends over the summer. So sorry to hear about your losses. I'm trying to think of as many ways possible to make Blue a part of the holidays. Will still hang up his stocking and am ordeing personalized memorial ornaments to...

    The holidays are tough

    I just wanted to reach out and see if anyone has any advice on how to cope with the holidays after losing a kitty. After losing my beloved Blue this year, it is tough for me to hear holiday music, see Christmas trees, or deal with anything about the holidays in general. Seeing these things...

    My Beautiful Baby Winter (jan 1st 2003 - Aug 13 2019)

    Hi, so sorry to hear that you are having a tough time right now-but please know that it is completely normal as you just lost your dear friend less than 3 months ago. I lost my best friend Blue in July and it still hurts so much. Some days are worse than others. One thing that you could try...

    My Beautiful Baby Winter (jan 1st 2003 - Aug 13 2019)

    I'm so sorry to hear about the loss of your friend and companion, Winter. Please know that there are so many of us here that know just how sad and empty you feel right now. I lost my best buddy, Blue, just a month ago and can relate to pretty much everything you are saying. It helps to read...

    Returning Sadness After Almost An Year?

    Yes, this is totally normal. I lost my soul mate kitty just a month ago. I have had some days where I seem to go along fine and am in a denial state, and then some days where I feel like I can barely function--it hits me like a ton of bricks. I know many people who have still struggled after 1...

    The Tale Of Nemo (and My First Weekend Without Him)

    Wow. What a special bond you had with Nemo. I am so sorry for your loss. Your story sounds so much like my bond with my "soul cat" Blue, who I adopted at 17, and who passed away at 19 two weeks ago. Especially the listening to music together, watching Netflix, curling up after a long week at...

    My Max Has Crossed The Bridge

    I am so sorry for your loss. Max was a very handsome and cute cat. I know exactly how you're feeling right now, as I lost my 19 year old cat soulmate Blue less than 2 weeks ago. From your post, it is clear that you did everything you could for him and made him a priority in your life. He was...

    My Dear Sweet Blue

    Thank you everyone, for all of your kind words about my sweet Blue. This site has been so compassionate and many of you have shown more kindness and understanding than a lot of my friends have. It really helps to know that there are those fellow "cat people" out there that know what I'm going...

    My Dear Sweet Blue

    Hello all, I wanted to take a moment and share that on Friday, my sweet Blue passed away at the age of 19 1/2. Unfortunately, the tumor in his lungs became too much and caused him to struggle breathing. It was the hardest decision I have ever had to make, and the hardest day of my life, but...

    Is Lifegold A Legitimate Supplement?

    Thanks, all. I will definitely consider all these options. My main goal is keeping Blue feeling as well as possible and not mixing medications that will cause risks. I understand that many of the herbals mixing with Prednisolone is not a good idea. I have been in a bit of a desperate state...

    Is Lifegold A Legitimate Supplement?

    Thanks so much for the suggestions! My main concern is I don't want any of these supplements to interact negatively with Prednisolone, so I will definitely check in with a vet first. White Shadow, it means so much that you remembered Blue from the last time I posted about his health concerns...

    My Cat Won't Eat

    Sorry, for some reason your previous post did not show up before, so did not see that you'd already tried the stimulant. I'm so happy to hear that Sam is eating some and hopefully his appetite will continue to improve!

    My Cat Won't Eat

    Apologies if someone has already mentioned this, but has your vet tried an appetite stimulant such as Cyproheptadine or Mirtazapine? These are sometimes helpful in getting them to eat and they are not very expensive. Hartz also makes a product called Delectables Squeeze ups which are pureed...
