    WHEN TO SAY GOODBYE

    I have a 21 year old kitty and we are struggling with the same things. She got a big mat down her back that we had to shave. She's deaf and very finicky. She has eaten the gravy off of dozens of cans of Fancy Feast, now we buy broth based Rachel Ray and specialty FF. She is eating much...

    Cat mats

    My 20 year old cat has mats on her back. She won't let me brush them out--she bit me. She seems very healthy but I really don't want to take her to the vet. Any ideas?

    Cat Fights

    Here's a pic of the dueling duo after a fight. Once on the bed they are fine. Pali is the calico. She is amazing, no accidents, eats well. We have put some things in place to help her get up on beds, etc. She appeared as a kitten in the summer of 2001 and we took her in.

    Cat Fights

    I have a 20 year old female and a 5 year old male. 20 year old is in great shape except deaf. She has never liked other animals. Two or three times a day (usually late afternoon or later) they meet in the hallway that leads to bedrooms (20 year old spends a lot of time on one of the beds) and...

    New cat

    So far he hasn't eaten or used the litter box. He did pee on my new recliner so I have put him in a spare room so I can better monitor what he is doing. He will come up for pets. I am so worried about no eating or pooping. He is a very large cat (14 pounds). My husband struggled to get him...

    New cat

    My beloved 21 year old cat passed and we decided not to get another cat. We still had 4 pets, 2 3 year old dogs, a 3 year old cat and an 18 year old cat. One dog and the 2 cats were rescues who just moved in and immediately made themselves at home. Our shelter called about a 7 year old cat...

    21 Year Old Cat Is Skin And Bones

    He's a short-haired cat, I didn't even realize they could mat. These are great ideas, my husband is off to buy kitten food. His breath is ok. He has chronic nasal issues and gets a couple of rounds of antibiotics each year when he's bad. He had surgery 2 years ago and almost died from the...

    21 Year Old Cat Is Skin And Bones

    Older Cat Peeing Outside Box- Not Crystals

    My 20 year old cat was peeing on the dog beds. I got a low box and put towels in it and he stopped with the dog beds! Over time we moved to newspaper and he still uses it. It’s in our kitchen which isn’t cool but whatever works!

    Can't Handle Chronically Ill Cat

    I may get blasted for this but please don’t take her to a shelter. If the time comes have her humanely euthanized. You have done more than many people would or could. We just went through this with my sons cat. Rescue, 3 years old, started getting sick in September, diahhrea, vomiting, hair...

    Fip

    My son and his wife adopted a 2 year old cat about 9 months ago. 6 months ago we brought our 1 year old cat to their house for a play date. They really didn’t interact much—my very gregarious cat acted shy. About a month ago his cat started having bloody diarrhea. After multiple vet visits...

    Guilt

    Thanks! Watching him do laps around the house right now. I bought him a ball with cut outs—put a toy mouse inside—he loves it. Has learned to bring to me to throw! I feel bad because when someone comes over he begs for attention!
