Thank you so much for your reply. His name was Larry and he was about 16 or 17 years old. After caring for a feral colony for many years he was my last to take care of. The Cat Site was there the whole time for me with advice with each one. Athough it's been a while since I've been on, I so...

My cat went over the rainbow bridge on Tuesday but I can't get rid of my guilt. He's always had bad teeth but recently they got worse. He had a slow heart rate so could not go under anesthesia. His blood work showed white blood count up, early kidney disease. He received a shot of covenia but...

Just realized tomorrow's Sunday. I meant Monday. Ugh...more wait. I will definitely keep you posted.

Thank you for all your replies. I did call the vet that prescribed the meds but they would not help over the phone but told me to bring her to hospital if she gets worse. She stayed the same so I will be bringing her to regular vet tomorrow. Just so unnerving to see her breathe faster than...

Hi, My 16-17 year old cat Cammy has been having fainting spells (syncophy) off and on for a while. They recently increased and the vet said her heart rate was low. We took her to the cardiologist and she was given a sonogram and ekg. Tests showed some heart disease but at the time her heart rate...

 I have had to put two cats to sleep recently and the pain and grief is overwhelming.   I know how bad you are feeling. Both of your cats are absolutely beautiful. I hope that Socks is doing okay.... I am so, so sorry for your loss.  

I will be buying an airtight container today!  I buy the big bags so I never really thought about it, but I guess I have seen the big ones at Petsmart.  Thank you!

Oh and right before this problem with the beetles started I purchased a cat tree online from a popular website. I know it was made in a foreign country,  Larder beetles burrow....could it have been from the cat tree?  Just curious to see if anybody else has had a problem with this.  Thank you!

HI, I am sharing your pain. as we are dealing with a larder beetle problem too.  You are not rambling either, this problem is horrible!  We can't figure out how we got them either.  We use Kirkland cat food and Swheat Cat Litter.  Could it be either one of those?  I did notice bugs in the...

Thank you so much for your replies. The vet explained that the fleas can cause an allergy that can cause a swelling?... and that it was an odd spot for one but that maybe it was a swelling from that.  Money is an option for me so if I chose chemotherapy, it would be a great struggle to find the...

Hi everybody. My 14 year old cat has squamous cell carcinoma of the mouth.  I am wondering if there is anything at all that I can do?  It appeared approx. 2 months ago. It was not big when we noticed it and the vet said to wait a month that is might be from fleas.  We waited a month and then we...

My sister's cat has been diagnosed with heart worm as well as severe arthritis in her back.  She is an indoor only cat and is treated most months with Revolution.  We can't understand how this could have happened.   We both never gave heart worm much thought and are devastated that she is sick...

 She has bad teeth and then she got a swelling near the left side of her butt, with chronic diarrhea. That is what I took her to the low cost clinic for. She looked at it but had no idea what it might be.She was a brand new vet. She gave me antibiotics and told me to get I believe an ultrasound...

I have been out of work for about two years now and have not been able to find a job. This has been a burden for the ferals and the five cats I have inside but with some help have managed to feed them and keep them fairly well. I have been trying desperately to get one of my cats to the vet for...

It's never an easy decision. She was very blessed to have you as her mommy. I'm sorry for your loss.
