    Injured Cat (warning pic of injury)

    Sorry for the wait but UPDATE i called the vet and when I described the issue they asked me a few questions - Was there any pus? Are you able to keep it clean? Was there any pus before the scab came off? I told him no pus before or after the scab came off and yes I can keep it clean. They told...

    Injured Cat (warning pic of injury)

    Hey guys, so just recently a stray followed me home. I took him in and noticed that there was a large scab on his testicles looked to be from a fight. It wasnt swollen nor did it have any pus or signs of infection so I left it be. Now though the scab somehow got tore off. Hes not acting like hes...

    Male Calico?

    So is there a specific amount of each color (orange, white and black/brown) a cat should have to be considered a calico? I have a male kitten who's primarily black and white but he has small patches of orange on his head tail and foot.

    Sick kitten

    Well his name is now officially Muffin and I was finally able to talk to a  vet over the phone to get some answers of what I can do til I can take him (and his siblings for that matter just in case) in. Yes the meds I got previously for Garfield for his misdiagnosis were fine for the few days as...

    Sick kitten

    Luckily he's still eating and drinking, and playing when his siblings decide to wake him. Mostly though he's sleeping, but I noticed that kitties with eye problems seem to prefer to just sleep and lay down rather than run around and run into things though. I do however still have some...

    Sick kitten

    Thanks, is there anything I can do at home to ease the symptoms for a day or two until I can get him into a vet? I know how quick a kitten can go once they stop eating and drinking and I'm worried. Even though he's still eating and drinking like a fiend just those couple days could still be to...

    Sick kitten

    My one female cat had her (last thankfully) litter of kittens a month and a half ago. There was a litter of 5 but early on while we were gone something went wrong with one and we came back to find him gone =(. Now though I've noticed that not long after I got my three males fixed one of the...

    Down to One

    Saved a couple of foster kittens and Ryu was nursing them, but something must have upset her because I found out the other day that even though she was letting them lay by her belly she stopped letting them feed. I lost one of them because of this, I'm so upset over it I just couldn't understand...

    Complete the following sentence: I know I'm a cat parent because......

    Because when lose one it's like losing a family member. Because every night I give them kisses and tell them goodnight and that I love them. Because right now I'm doing everything in my power to keep one four week old baby alive, and it's heartbreaking. Because when one of them starts to meow...

    Ryu and foster kitten

    I've been feeding my cats kitten food for a little while now, when Ryu had her last litter (if you didn't see any of my other posts none of them made it due to various reasons that's why she still has milk) and I still have some in the bag. They do seem really advanced even given the bit of...

    Comment by 'fyreflair' in article 'Health Concerns In Aging Cats'

    I just took in two senior cats a few months ago and the only problem they've had so far is litter box problems but that was actually more due to being relocated so suddenly (they're 11 and were with their last family since they were kittens) than any health problems they're dong much better now.

    Ryu and foster kitten

    They're somewhere around three weeks, only reason I know that is I was keeping an eye on the mother. There are some kids around that like to terrorize her if they find her so when she got pregnant I made sure that she found a good place to hide and knew when she had her kittens. Though I'm not...

    Ryu and foster kitten

    After what happened with Ryu's last litter she still had milk and it hasn't dried up, I found a pair of young kittens who was abandoned and needed help. Ryu took to them and is letting them feed (to her relief I bet). I plan on finding them good homes when they are old enough but right now they...
