LTS3, Thanks for the link on how to increase a cats water intake. Unfortunately, I have tried almost all of them, with little success. Proper water intake has been my #1 goal since the day I got my cats. So I'm aware of all those techniques. 2 of my cats are getting plenty of water. The one I...

Duckpond yes store bought chicken has sodium. Some brands have upto 200 mg per 4 oz. The lowest I have found is 85 mg per 4 oz. I know that a lot of people make their own homemade food with chicken as well. I have never heard any concern about too much sodium in home food made from store bought...

It actually turned out to be stomach cancer...... It was at an advanced stage. She was eating less because of the pain. The regular vet caught it when we went in for a follow up visit because she still was eating less. We spent $1,700 for a proper prognosis with a very skilled and honest...

One of our 3 cats is a finicky eater. I have been very focused on them getting enough water since they were kittens. Just with their food alone I ensure that they get at least 4.5 oz of water each day. Usually they get around 5 oz of water this way. This is on top of whatever they drink...

Trust me its not odd. You just have a higher level of empathy for non-human creatures then the typical person. And that's a very good thing. Here is a great quote related to that sentiment from Gandhi: “The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way its animals are...

What a sad story. I'm so sorry for your loss. Its people like you that give me hope for humanity. I say this because you had the best of intentions. You did everything right to help Nieve. Its just bad luck that caused things to turn out the way they did. You have a very good heart and I can see...

I'm so sorry to hear that your Loki has left. Its always hard when our little ones have to leave us to continue their journey alone. One day you two will be reunited again. Until then just remember the good times and how happy Loki must have been to have someone who truly cares for him in this life.

Even though you had Renato for a short time in your life I know the bond you had with him was unbreakable. I know how terrible you must feel so I'm sorry that your going through this. I lost my baby on June 10th of this year and there hasn't been a single day since then when I didn't feel as bad...

I'm so sorry that this happened to you. He looks so comfortable in your arms. I wish you could have had him in your life longer. But even though he left you so quick at least he knew true love and care for his short life. And it was all thanks to you. RIP little legacy, you will be missed.

Hi Maggie, thanks for asking. They are all growing up really quickly and without issues. The two boys are already 8 Lb's!! I'm surprised at how quickly they are growing considering that they are only 5.5 months old. Its all healthy weight too, no fat on either of them! Now Luna is another story...

Wow your story was really touching. I can completely relate to what your going through with the nostalgia of missing cakepop, wanting to rest by her grave etc. When you love someone so much its only natural to feel these things. I think you have a wonderful soul and went beyond what most people...

What a beautiful bond you two shared. She looks like such a sweetheart. I'm extremely sorry for your loss and know exactly how you feel. Losing a cat you love is always hard. My Mew Mew was diagnosed with abdominal cancer and taken from us within a span of just two weeks. We would have gotten...

I think what you did for princess is amazing. In no way did you fail her. Although she may have not shown it physically but on an emotional level she definitely cared for you. She saw you as her provider and friend. The cats in feral colonies are different then cats at home as far as their...

What a bittersweet story. Sounds like kitty had a wonderful life, a sudden turn for the worse this year but a death on his own terms. I'm heartbroken for your loss. Its rare that you have a cat that gets a "perfect death" (if you can even use the word "perfect" to describe such a tragic event)...

RIP little Olga. Thanks to you she knew what being loved was like in her short time on earth. I know its terrible that she is gone but know that you made her time on earth that much more special with your kindness. I'm glad you decided to stay on the site. People like you give me hope for...
