If age permits, our next cat(s) will likely be ones being given away for free in an ad that has been sitting with no reply. They will most likely be older cats and maybe with health issues. The ones few people want. Greg and Arnold were "found" on the internet and were in need of a home...

That was an absolutely beautiful tribute!! Raprap was lucky to have you. Thank goodness you kept him. While your experience and memories are different to mine, like you and most here, I have also had loved cat family members pass. Some thoughts. Put away the syringe, slowly move his bowl...

So, WHAT keeps a cat alive and healthy for so long? We know what the factors are for humans. Netflix is doing a series on human longevity. The term "blue zone" is now being used to describe the location and conditions centenarians (persons living to 100) live in. So how can we help out pets?

Your new kitten needed a loving home. The sooner she got it, the better for her. Perhaps think of it this way. The final gift your foster kitten gave you was opening the door for your new kitten.

Throwing up on the bed is usually the worst. Lots of laundry to do then. The other day Arnold threw up on my shorts. Often he runs when he barfs, so I have to track the trail though out the home.

Sadly I can't download a pic for you. It's called ....great choice, 4 in 1 performance clumping multi cat clay cat litter. You can buy it scented. I find the litter box has virtually no odor....and I am sensitive to the smell.

Unfortunately I can't post any pics, keep getting message that file is too big. I use a generic store brand. It is clay, clumping and very low dust....nothing fancy. You might have to try a few. I'm in Canada and buy it from "PetSmart". That may not be of much use to you.

Try changing the kitty litter. It should not be sticking to their paws.

I agree. You can't hear it but she can. I have heard cats have better sense of hearing than dogs. It may be a sound, it might be a vibration. The valve shouldn't hiss. Valve might need repair or replacement, piping to valve might have a pinhole (look for rust water mark) or pressure in the...

That's a "hunting tail". She is doing what cats do...it's the predator instinct. She is looking for motion. Don't touch her at this moment. Our cat's do this outside. When they get really excited, their nails vibrate....then they pounce.

Looks to me it looks like that's a "hunting" tail. She is watching the screen and looking for motion. Our cat's do this frequently in the yard. When they get really excited, their tail almost vibrates....just before they pounce. She is just absorbed in the moment and being a cat. Don't...

You say another cat at this time is not an option because your living situation might change in a year or so. How about fostering another cat for a short time? This will give the opportunity to see if it will improve your current cats health and mood. If it doesn't work, then you can return...

If your cat's water is getting grungy, you could change it daily and use multiple bowls. A filtered fountain won't clear the water. Our cat's fountain is filtered and it would not clean water with kitty litter in it. You might try putting filtered water in to your fountain (that already has a...

She is beautiful. I can see why the foster mom was willing to keep her. I wouldn't bother with the DNA test. I hear they aren't reliable and as most cats, she is likely a domestic cat anyways.

Beautiful cat. My condolences.
