My Gracie LOVES to play fetch! She waits every morning at the bottom of the stairs for me, and I toss those squishy golf-looking balls down to her. She sits back on her haunches and catches them with her front feet, then waits for me to throw the next one - it's adorable!!

Thanks so much! I love seeing pictures of everyone's babies

Yes, I am convinced that they "dare" each other to misbehave

I have 5 kitties but Sammy (b/w tuxedo) and Gracie (Tortie) are my youngest. For those of you who read my threads about my sick kitty, Sammy is doing much better! Thanks to all who shared advice and concern!

Thank you all for the websites - they are very helpful!

Thank you for your suggestions; I've been steaming Sammy in the morning and at night, and he comes into the bathroom now and lays down and waits for me to turn on the shower - he knows it's helping! His gagging has slowed down a lot, and he is starting to sneeze stuff out, so I think that is a...

I have 4 adult cats, and my husband and I are looking at getting an 8-week old chocolate lab, but I'm concerned about my cats transitioning. ..they are all indoor; we have a large fenced-in yard, and would crate-train it, but wonder if any of you have positive/negative experiences to share...

I live in Rhode Island and am a happy owner of five cats, Chloe, Raymond, Gracie, Sammy and Stewart. The last four are all adopted from local shelters; two as older kittens and two as adults. I am new to forums - this is my first one, and I cannot believe how wonderfully helpful it is!! It is...

Thanks so much for your well wishes - I will update as things progress! This site is SUCH a wonderful resources; what on earth did we do before the World Wide Web??

He is not a persian - just a petite black and white tuxedo. He's a runt I just spoke with the vet and she wants me to give him a pill called animophylline, to open up his airways. I will try your suggestions as well - thank you!

Hi Blueberrybeth, was Noble fully plugged nasally? I will definitely try that though. He has a pointy nose with small nostrils, so I'm not sure what kind of luck I will have. But I will try anything if it will make my Sammy feel better! Thank you for your advice!

He was actually just at the vet yesterday; spent the day there having a physical exam and x-rays, which all turned out fine. The conjestion is all in the upper-area. He has a lot of gas in his stomach from breathing thru his mouth. On Labor Day I brought him to the ER, and yesterday to his...

I will definitely try that tonight; did Ares have full nasal blockage?

Sammy has a URI and is on Clavamox, for 2 days so far. However, he can only breathe thru his mouth - he has complete nasal blockage and gags/dry-heaves every couple of hours, and/or when eating - sometimes getting up clear mucus, sometimes yellow. Fortunately still eating well. Has anyone...
