Hmm, well, Cataria comes from Nepeta cataria… At least the cats would be happy. XD

Hey all! One of my cats has been having issues with eye infections for awhile. It’s been a problem since I originally took him in as a stray a few years ago, but he has months where there are no problems and others where it won’t go away. It’s mostly the left eye. It gets weepy, covered in...

I haven’t posted an update on Rune in awhile! He’s still doing great. 10.5 lbs, so not as big as I though he’s get, but I’m perfectly happy with his size! He’s been very well-behaved and still gets along well with the cats. He had his first yearly check-up on Friday and got a clean bill of...

I’m pleased to say Treble is doing fantastically! She’s eating and drinking normally, but also been enjoying the kitten food I’ve been giving her just to be sure. Yesterday I was super happy to see her and Camo (her mother) stretched out on the couch grooming each other. 💕 Only drama I have...

Hmm, I have not tried music, but I honestly don't think she'd like it. My house has always been very quiet -- it's just me and the cats, I haven't watched TV in years, and any time I use my computers or listen to music, I use headphones. I bought a TV a few months ago and have slowly been...

Oooh, good suggestion on the kitten food! When Treble and her siblings were still tiny kittens, Treble got into the Royal Canin Baby Cat when she was only three weeks old and was eating it, haha. I bet if I bought her some of that, she'd really enjoy it. I forgot about that!

So far Treble is doing great! She has definitely calmed down, and she has spent most of her time staying near me and even slept in my bed with my last night, something she rarely did before she went to the shelter. I have not seen her cozy up to the other cats yet that she used to be really...

Well, this has been an eventful week! I decided to go visit Treble on Tuesday, and depending on how I perceived she was doing,then ask the shelter if taking her back was possibility. When I got there, Treble found a hiding place up near the ceiling. Unfortunately I couldn't visibly see her at...

Hey all! Sorry I haven't updated, a lot of nonsense going on in my life. So the good news -- both Henna and Shiloh were adopted! Unfortunately I have heard no news about how they are doing, but I hope they are doing okay. I miss them a lot. But Treble... she was in the shelter for weeks and...

All things considered, I hate how the drop-off appointment went, but I get it. They are busy people and they have better things to do with their time than entertain someone who is causing them more work, it was just hard. I finally called them last weekend to ask for a status update and to go...

Symptoms in my cat, Shade, started with coughing and throwing up phlegm. When she was a kitten, she also would sometimes open-mouth breathe after especially wild play sessions. As she's gotten older and she's had worse flare-ups there has sometimes been a whistling note to her breathing. I...

Some updates. My friend that offered to take Peridot unfortunately backed out, so it looks like I am keeping him for now. Henna, Shiloh, and Treble went to the shelter on Friday. It was the hardest thing I've ever done, and I can't stop beating myself up about it. They scheduled two hours for...

Thought I'd provide an update, but not too much to say so far. Peridot is still lined up to go to my friend's, but it hasn't happened yet. I submitted rehoming applications for Henna, Shiloh, Treble, and Mosaic through the shelter I mentioned. I'm on a waiting list, but it sounds like the...

I'll be honest, my house is so bad I'm pretty sure my carpet is unsalvageable and I don't think a regular cleaner can fix it. I'm actually planning on calling Steri Clean since their site says they can fix cat urine odors, but I know it's going to be expensive and I don't want to end up with the...

Yikes, I think I definitely need to figure out something different for next year. The part I did not mention is that I since I was not able to reliably catch her for her other two scheduled appointments, the vet and I decided to schedule her for a drop off appointment today -- that way I could...
