Did it look similar to the picture I sent with the red specks? What was the treatment?

Yeah this vet isn’t new and she is the vet for the rescue I foster for so I’m really surprised she hasn’t seen it before. I’ll keep you updated! Thanks

I noticed some clear vomit with red specks in it and since I have 4 cats I isolated them overnight to figure out who was ill. The next morning I saw a reddish brown liquid and a hairball plug in one of the cats rooms. I thought it was vomit but the vet said it had a poop smell. I brought her to...

Cat vaccines causing Chronic Kidney Disease? Has anyone done any research on this topic? Not sure if this is a case of only 1 study showing what he’s saying and how the risk of CKD is relative to panleukopenia

We’ve been fostering for a while but I’ll be forced to take a break now because my partner is allergic so we try to give periods of relief :(

Last year I got my first pregnant foster cat. She was really hesitant at first and would swipe me sometimes when she got overwhelmed. After her giving birth to 7 kittens, having lungworms purged from her body and having a broken tooth removed she is now my little shadow for the past few months...

How on top of litter box cleaning are you? I find that one of my cats expects a pristine box (scoop 2-3 times a day) or she will just do her business on the floor

Hey everyone - just an update. All kittens were healthy and well and all got adopted within a month of posting! Mom has been having some health issues so she’s still not available for adoption but she’s an absolute sweety so I don’t mind at all :)

With no kill shelters I think everyone will have their own process. It’s likely they will be happy to let you foster the cats until they find an adopter. I find that friendly cats are well liked by no kill shelters because an unproblematic cat - with no vet bills - and is friendly will be...

When she attacks it’s more like a bit of a run over, and no fur is puffed up. Since the kittens are way smaller they do just surrender and run away and she doesn’t pursue them.

In another post I mentioned she also tries to attack them if they are wrestling super hard. When I use the cat teaser if they have a collision while trying to chase she will also get mad. I now just make sure to use two teasers at one. Since she seems to attack them when wrestling with the...

I have been keeping them separate unless supervised. What do you mean by cat music?

So one thing I am noticing now is if the kittens are having fun in the distance, like just playing with a ball, she will approach them and attack. Is this an example of not acceptable behaviour? I wonder if it has to do with her not liking the sounds

Thanks so much for the advice! I’m glad this is okay as the rescues are so overrun and I didn’t want to have to try to re foster home mom :)
