    Messy Butt

    Hi Alldara! Blue seems to be growing a thicker and darker "winter coat"? I have had to cut some poo matts off & did a little trim back there. As long as her poo is not too soft, all is good. Now that she is back on Blue Buffalo Indoor dry food her poos are more firm. I bought Vets Best...

    Messy Butt

    You guys are always so helpful :cool: iPappy, she is short hair siamese mix barn cat. We found her in our yard, starved, weighed .8 lb, vet said about 5 wks old. She is now a healthy 7.5 lb girl but it definitely shows in her brain damaged way that she had no Mama or sibling contact...

    Messy Butt

    Me again. Our little Blue is doing very well. Her neurological problem of twitching that involves her whole body makes it difficult for her to defecate sometimes without her butt touching the feces. Normally feces is pretty solid but if she bounces on it, some will get on her. And the fact...

    Can you tell your cats apart by the sound of their walk?

    Our Blue now weighs 6.2 and is 14 months old. She has an odd walk due to her neurological problems, back legs don't always know what front legs are doing. Because of this, she stomps. We can hear her walking on carpet and laminate floors and when she's got the zoomies she sounds like a...

    From Kitten food to Cat food

    Blue's spay went fine with no problems. :-) Vet agreed that free feeding her Blue Buffalo Kitten dry kibble is fine for now. Her weight before spay was just 5.5 pounds so weight gain is not a problem now. We think she is getting plenty of water from her fountain because there is absolutely no...

    From Kitten food to Cat food

    Blue has been back on Blue Buffalo Wilderness Kitten Chicken since my last post. No more loose stools. No plans for feeding her anything else. Her spay date is June 16, I'll let vet know my decision and get a refund for Hills Cat food. Thx to everyone

    From Kitten food to Cat food

    Our little 11-12 month old 6 pound Blue has been on Blue Buffalo Wilderness Chicken Kitten dry food since she was 5 months old when she refused any more wet food. I asked our vet which adult cat food she recommends & that was Hills Science Diet. We bought a bag, she really liked it; mixed in a...

    Spay Update

    We made an appointment with a vet hospital 2 hours away from home for a second opinion on whether our Blue could be spayed given that she has brain damage that has caused some neurological problems. The said YES and we are scheduled for surgery on June 16 :-). In fact the surgeon said spaying...

    weight in aprox. 8 month old kitten (photos)

    Vet told us that because she has brain damage, head shaking can indicate a brain tumor. We've noticed more head shaking, ear scratching, more intense twitching. We are considering taking her to University of Minnesota Veterinarian Neurology for a check up and they are the only place that has...

    weight in aprox. 8 month old kitten (photos)

    No, vet had no information for us on meds to prevent heat.........however she has just had the one so far in mid January. Maybe her brain damage has stopped the heat cycle? She has little to no voice; possible injury on her way to us? And she never tried to call for a mate; all she did was...

    Vet won’t spay my cat

    Our vet won't spay Blue. She said Blue most likely has brain damage caused by being abandoned by Mother, out in elements in MN July for about a month. Landed in our yard with full body twitching; went through high fever twice and seizures. Vet said that kittens are put under for surgery with...
