    I snapped at my cat.

    I have a cat that was impossible to get to eat. He absolutely refused to eat canned food, tuna, etc., and would eat his kibble for a few days, sometimes up to a week, before going on a hunger strike until I found him a new food he would eat. For a variety of reasons the vet suggested we try him...

    Homeless with a feral kitten that bonded with me.

    @FeralKitten414 if you are still looking here and have your kitten. Normally foot pantries will have some food and connections for vet care. I love the idea of getting a carrier bag for him. You can also start training him on a harness. I'm not sure of the shelters around where you are but...

    Any guesses?

    He is adorable! My boy looked a lot like yours as a kitten. He also went through a shorter haired phase, but now that he is just at a year he is turning into a giant ball of fluff! This was when he was about 6ish months old. And his fantastic self about a month ago.

    Urinary Issues/ Prozac Suggested by Vet

    I just wanted to chime in as I have a cat on Prozac. He came to me after spending about 6 months in a shelter. I was told he was around 8 to 9, according to the vet closer to mid-teens. He was having urinary issues and nothing seemed to help him. He also had a few other issues such as...

    Healing from medically necessary declawing

    Just wanted to update everyone who was kind enough to respond. Cosmo is healing wonderfully and is very comfortable. I can mess with all of his toes now, including his thumbs, with no signs of discomfort from him. He is tearing it up running up and down the stairs and around the house and is...

    Healing from medically necessary declawing

    Cosmo's surgery went very well! He will be in his cone and on limited mobility for 10 to 14 days, and then back to normal. His surgery was done with a laser so he had no bleeding and has minimal swelling. After removing the little nubbin toe on his left the vet determined the thumb's nail worked...

    Healing from medically necessary declawing

    Thank you all! I will get him some different litter for recovery time. He has made it very clear that it is currently causing him pain so I know he needs it done. But oh I just hate doing it! I will post updates on how he is doing. They will be keeping him there all day to make sure he doesn't...

    Healing from medically necessary declawing

    My little Cosmo is going in Tue to get at least one of his thumbs declawed as well as his nubbin toe removed. His right thumb (bonus toe) has two nails growing out of the same nail bed and they are not doing well. Both of those nails will be getting removed as one is unhealthy and he cannot...

    Polydactyly

    I have some questions on the best way to manage spare toes in a cat with polydactyly. Cosmo has dewclaws on both back legs, one extra toe on his right front and basically one and a half extra toes on his left front. Neither of his back dewclaws are problematic, however, both of his front extra...

    Fever coat or? And long or short hair?

    Thank you all! So as far as I understand it a cat cannot be smoke and tabby, is that correct? If it is do the stripes on his tail mean that he is a tabby? Or just ghosting? I find genetics fascinating so thank you for your help! And pictures because he is adorable!

    Fever coat or? And long or short hair?

    Thank you all! He is an absolute love! I will be happy however he turns out, though I will admit that I would love if he keeps the stripey tail. :)
