    Panicking - Garlic

    Took the smallest guy to the vet today as he was the one who through the process of elimination I determined consumed probably the most. She confirmed the presence of Heinz bodies and that his rbc was slightly lower than his last blood work before his neuter, however she said that there isn't...

    Panicking - Garlic

    It has been approximately 48 hours since the ingestion of garlic. So far, so good. However most articles I've read 3-5 days... One of my cats seems a little dopey, but that is not unlike him. They are all wanting to eat, no one's threw up or had any weird poops or anything like that.   I think...

    Panicking - Garlic

    I'll try to relax and keep you guys posted. I'm so concerned though :(

    Panicking - Garlic

    I'm still super worried. They all seem normal. Eating, drinking, travelling around doing their usual cat stuff. The information on the internet is SO conflicting. Some websites RECOMMEND feeding cats 1/4 of a clove per day (***?!) and some say their cats have died from licking a garlic steak. I...

    Panicking - Garlic

    Ok so I did a stupid, stupid thing. I cooked dinner and used a whole garlic glove in the recipe, chopped in half. Long story short, left pan on counter while eating at table (10 feet away) with the garlic and remaining oil left in it. In the time it took me to eat, my 3 cats cleaned the entire...

    Searching for Siamese Breeder (Canada)

    The two kitties I have here at home are shelter cats, and my Siamese Petri was a rescue cat. My other cats are a 9 year old orange tabby named Prince, and an 8 year old grey and white boy named Pickle. My greyhounds have all came from Greyhound rescues, and that generally is the direction I turn...

    Searching for Siamese Breeder (Canada)

    Hi there, Oh of course, I totally understand. This kitty definitely won't be a replacement. While there are certain traits I hope to see in a Siamese (talkative, social) I have no doubt in my mind they will be 100% different than Petri was, as each and every cat is unique. I also have...

    Searching for Siamese Breeder (Canada)

    Hi there, I recently lost my 6 year old male blue point  Siamese (in display picture). He was my heart cat, and I am going to miss him for the rest of my life :( He made me fall in love with the breed, and I've always said I don't think I would ever be without a Siamese. I adore the breed...

    Alternatives to expensive Urinary SO food

    Ok so it's been awhile since I have been around. Still looking for an alternative food, as the food cost just keeps going up and up... Yes, they are still on that blasted Urinary SO food... However, terrified to change because I don't want crystals again. Due to my geographical location, if I...

    Alternatives to expensive Urinary SO food

    If I had the time to feed raw, I could. However due to time constraints and the fact that I spend a lot ..a lot  of time in the hospital (autoimmune disease) I would be a bit scared to make the commitment to feeding raw. I could switch to wet if it's better for my kitties. What sort of...

    Alternatives to expensive Urinary SO food

    I will have a look for some of those brands certainly. I like to feed dry in the morning and wet at suppertime. I guess I am just so nervous of it happening again - one cat in particular has a sensitive little weewee it seems!

    Alternatives to expensive Urinary SO food

    Hi folks, I have had my kitties (all boys) on Urinary SO food as two of them have had crystals. However, at 100$ a bag it's not practical for me to feed three cats this food. I am continuing to feed it - but in all honesty 100$ is a steep price for a bag of cat food that doesn't even have that...

    Hi Folks! Decided to join a kitty cat forum :) ... I figure I'm on forums for everything else including my pet fish, so why not my kitties! I have three beautiful boys - Prince Charming (Orange kitty, will be 7 in April) Pickle (Gray and White, will be 5 in May) Petri the Assassin...
