I will and thank you for your suggestions. Not only is she grieving her other human mom, but I understand that she is also grieving her brother, who recently died himself. I will make that appointment with my vet as well. I need to be assured that there is nothing medically keeping her from...

She is not an overweight cat, she weighed 11.8 lbs on Monday. That is a pretty good size for a female and I am grateful she was not a tiny little girl under these circumstances. I did have her in a closed-off room for the first 3 days and all she would do is stay in her safe place she chose...

On Monday, 7/24/23, I brought home an 8-year-old female dilute tortie that I adopted from a shelter. My problem with her is that she hardly will eat. Her foster mother at the shelter told me that she has been at the shelter for 2 months. Her human mother was elderly and passed away suddenly...

We have to trust our decision. We know we made it in love, and it was made in the best interest of our loved cat. If we don't trust our gut feeling in a time such as this, we will drive ourselves crazy. I very well may be going through this same event this afternoon with my Katy. We both...

I did try using a toppers, I crunched up some temptations and Greenies then sprinkled them on top of some wet, and even dry Kitten Chow. She did go for it, which of course made me happy!!

No, I have not tried toppers, but I will now. That makes a lot of sense, I thank you for another good suggestion.

We're not at that point yet, but I will keep a mental note of your suggestion, thank you.

Thank you for your kind reply. Katy too does seem to respond better to dry food than wet anymore, and as both of our vets have said, let them eat what they want. What I have found interesting is that she really goes for sardines and trout, (both from the can), but not so much salmon in the...

Thank you Neely for your response. I am glad to say I am not at the point where I need to syringe feed her, though I have done some spoon-feeding of baby food. The Hills Prescription Diet Critical/Restoration Care is something I have not known to try. I will be sure and get a can today and...

My cat has recently been diagnosed with carcinoma neoplasm, cancer of her mammary glands. She of course is under the care of her vet. My specific purpose for posting this in a forum is that I am having trouble getting her to eat. She thumbs her nose at all of her favorite canned cat foods...

Thank you so much, for the good advice.:)

Thank you for the advice, I will pass this help on.

I have a friend who has opened up her home to an 8 -10 week old kitten who has been living on the streets all alone for about four weeks now. There has been no mother or siblings anywhere around. She has been all alone, by herself, with no mother, siblings, no one. The kitten has warmed up...

Thank you for your response. So sorry for my long delay. As I mentioned, he has been taken to the vet on this past Friday, and his sex, of course, was confirmed, He's a boy!

Thank you for your quick reply. I apologize for such a delay in answering. My friend did take our little fellow to the vet on Friday, and she confirmed, "It's a Boy" !
