Not to worry! They will love you because after all, you're providing them with food, shelter, and love. I adopted 2 bonded siblings about 2 years ago and it's great. They may bond with you at different times but they will love you. The 2 sisters I got, one is very social and confident, the other...

I think the problem is that humans tend to think no other species on the planet (other than humans and their pet dogs) has any feelings or sense of attachment . Yet just this morning I saw an article about a diver and a fish who is attached to him who comes out to greet him and allows the diver...

Maybe she was never taught by mama (or didn't have mama around) to teach her. 2 of my cats (sisters from the same litter) don't cover their poop - they scratch like mad at the litter box walls but don't seem to know that they have to actually cover the poop. It smells but I've just learned to...

This makes me feel a bit guilty. I have 3 cats and I only really play with them for about 20-30 minutes per week. On the other hand they are always playing on their own or with each other so it's not too terrible. I still need to make more of an effort to play with them regularly...

Aww you're not a bad cat parent at all. I can understand how you feel though. Patience is key. Every cat is so different and you just have to let them be themselves and learn to trust you. I have 3 cats and they all moved at different paces. The first two were pretty friendly, one let us pet her...

I find it to be fairly lightweight, or at least a lot more lightweight than the clumping clay litter I used previously. If you use a sifting litter box there shouldn't be any tracking problems. I didn't want to replace the litter boxes we already have so the sawdust is mixed with the pellets...

My cats are really liking the Tiny Tiger Chicken Chunks in Extra Gravy. They're very small chunks, like small cubes (probably the size of my pinky nail). It's only available on Chewy. If you order now it seems like they're doing a promotion for 50% off 1 case of 24 3-oz cans. Regular price is...

I wish I could know more about my cats' histories. 2 are sisters from the ASPCA. I adopted them at 6 months old. There was no background info on them other than their date of birth. I do wonder how they had their exact date of birth but no other information or even information about their...

How funny! I was trying to google something similar because 2 of my cats (they're sisters) have tails that are bent all the way to the back (almost touching their backs) a lot of the time. I don't seem to see it as much in other cats so I was wondering if this was unusual. I've included my own...

I somehow completely missed this reply!!! Sorry about that. We actually didn't start the antibiotics (amoxicillin) in her case. The only antibiotics Sophie received were the ones the vet injected (I don't remember the name off the top of my head but it was a different one). The vet wanted us to...

Thank you!!! Yes we're going to search for a new vet. It's a shame because they're the only vet in the area with both late hours and open 7 days a week. Thanks once again to everyone for having the patience to sit and listen to me through all this. Can't thank you enough! Love that this...

Crazily enough, they didn't. I sat at home and googled everything myself. I don't know if maybe they thought the medications are so common and side effects so unlikely that they didn't think it was important to mention it. They gave us Cerenia, mirtazapine, and amoxicillin. When she was there...

We had requested it and they had put in the invoice quote but in the end they didn't send it in and didn't charge us. They just seemed overall very busy and sometimes it feels like we were being rushed, especially at the end. I had to specifically request full instructions about the medications...

Oops sorry, pressed post too quickly. But I just wanted to leave some pictures of Sophie with her sister and our third cat :) last 2 photos are of sad Sophie with her ecollar and catheter, getting medication.The rest are of her being happy with her family! :biggrin: Because what cat parent...

So sorry for the late update! I've been spending a lot of time with my cats and appreciating them. They seem to be 100% better now. Playing, headbutting me, sleeping with me. I'm so relieved. So far it's still a mystery what happened but I'm going to guess a virus or something. Their bloodwork...
