    Splashing/tipping Water Bowl

    Albus and Sylvia both enjoy splashing their water bowl around a bit, but in the last couple days it's become an actual issue. Albus keeps tipping/digging/splashing every drop out of the gallon size bowl we keep in our room where they stay most the day. He's completely emptied it 3 times in the...

    Comment by 'MsPrudence' in article 'Discover Your Cat's Genetic Makeup With Basepaws'

    ENTRY Albus and Sylvia are 1 year old siblings who both had eyes removed at around 5 months of age due to severe infections. I adopted them 2 weeks later and since they were owner surrender, nothing about their past is known. Fast forward 7 months and they are huge (but not fat), very gangly...

    Is My 12 Pound, 9 Month Old Kitten Overweight? Pics!

    Age is not 100% certain. Albus was not quite 6 pounds when he was surrendered to a shelter 4 months ago, and was not in great shape due to double eye infections. He's now 11.5 lbs, almost 12 lbs and still growing and eating. He and his littermate Sylvia (she's about 9.5 pounds but looks more...

    Bengal Or Tabby??

    I was able to get the link to work after deleting some extra text. She's gorgeous! I don't know too much about cat breeds, but to my untrained eye, I think she has a little bengal in her.

    Do My Large, Rambunctious Kittens Have A Drop Of Savannah In Them? (lots Of Pics!)

    I have a pair of ~9 month old siblings that I adopted almost 4 months ago. Albus is already 11.5 pounds and Sylvia is 9.5, and they're definitely still growing. Sylvia doesn't have eyes and Albus only has one bad eye, but they are clever, energetic, curious, cuddly, and very playful. Albus loves...

    Minor Head Injury?

    There's no swelling around the scab, although the scab itself is raised. It's definitely healed over a bit, and I haven't noticed anything different about her behavior. In fact, she's been going absolutely nuts playing with the little ball of yarn I made her after getting home from the yarn...

    Minor Head Injury?

    The discharge didn't start until her eye stitches came out, which occured during her spay. She had dissolving stitches on her stomach, so she hasn't been back in since. She's consistently had the brown eye boogers with no real fluctutation or changes, I figured it was a normal thing with...

    Minor Head Injury?

    It starts out a little weepy, but is always muddy brownish. It crusts over, and eventually it falls or is groomed off. Both her eye sockets do this, but her right one more so. Both she and her brother had stubborn URIs when I adopted them, but neither have had any symptoms (sneezing, runny nose)...

    Minor Head Injury?

    I noticed it last night. She had her eyes removed 2.5 months ago, I adopted her 2 months ago, and she was last in the vet a little less than two months ago for her spay surgery. She's had crud in her eyes the whole time I've had her.

    Minor Head Injury?

    I noticed what looks and feels like a round, hard scab on Sylvia's forehead. She's blind (no eyes) and is 8 months old and goes crazy at playtime, and it's very possible she bumped her head into something while playing with her brother. She's been eating, playing, sleeping, and acting like...

    Eyeless Cat Scratched Socket? (slightly Graphic Pics)

    I was finally able to wipe away what I thought was an eye booger from Sylvia's right eye hole, and when I did, I noticed what looks like a small scratch or suture rupture on the very edge of her eye where the booger/scab has been sitting for a week+. It looked a little weepy but not noticably...

    Eye Socket Care For Eyeless Cats?

    Sometimes I see Albus lick her eye socket for her, she grooms plenty but not quite as thoroughly and often as her brother. I stopped him the first couple times I saw this since their stitches just came out 3 weeks ago and I was worried about it being a tender area. Maybe it's just a normal thing...

    Eye Socket Care For Eyeless Cats?

    Hello everyone, I have two 6 month old kittens who have had eyes removed. Sylvia had both out and her brother Albus had one out, about 6 weeks ago. While Albus's stitches wouldn't clot properly at first, it's since healed beautifully. I thought Sylvia was in the clear, but in the last couple...

    Kitten Won't Settle Down Hours After Spay

    ~Update~ 3 and a half days later and Sylvia is on the mend. Her incision doesn't even have any redness and she hasn't shown even the smallest sign of any pain or discomfort. I plan to keep her cone on for several more days, but when would it be safe to let her return to normal activities? I...

    Kitten Won't Settle Down Hours After Spay

    Shortly after I posted this I set up the crate with a mini litter box, food, water, and a blanket to sleep on. She still wasn't very happy but slept through the night for the most part. I've been letting her out periodically for supervised playtime and to clean up the crate. I feel so bad...
