Teddy’s breathing became labored in the early hours of the morning and he was so uncomfortable that he still couldn’t sleep. I brought him to the vet and there was nothing more they could do except help him peacefully cross the rainbow bridge. I held his paw and cradled his face as he finally...

I tried everything this morning, but he wouldn’t eat. He still hasn’t slept, he just stares off into the distance. I have a call into the vet to see if there is anything reasonable that they can do. If not, I fear this might be the point. It’s breaking my heart to see him decline this fast.

I’ve been waking up all night to check on Teddy. He’s been going from the foot of my bed to the chair in my room. He’s laying down, but sort of hunched over. He’s been awake all night as far as I can tell and still hasn’t touched the food I have out for him. I’m going to call the vet when they...

I will definitely try the milk. I got him to eat a little chicken yesterday, but nothing today. I’m going to the grocery store tomorrow to get some deli meat, which he was eating but we ran out of today, and the fancy feast he liked as a kitten. Teddy has been purring a lot laying with me in...

I probably haven’t posted in years, but I figured this forum would understand the most about what I’m going through. This is a long one and I hope it’s in the right place.... I rescued Teddy back in February of 2008. I was a 20 year old college student who was heartbroken after putting down my...

Hi All, My husband noticed these bugs on the couch in the “cat room.” I have no idea what they are but our 3 cats are the only ones that go i there. 2 of the 3 have had some recent matting at the base of their tail so I was thinking that maybe it was connected. I’m gonna give the vet a call...

These two are the best of friends! Fun fact: When this picture was taken, my daughter was sleeping through the night but I still had to get up and give Franklin a bottle.

My mean little Alice, who makes me melt with that little face. First family photo.
