So, a few months back we noticed a hot spot by the base of our cat's tail. We took her into the vet and they weren't sure what was causing it, but they tested for a few skin diseases and had us try an anti fungal cream and put her on a flea treatment. Nothing seemed to work and now she seems to...
Thanks for your replies! Update: I gently rinsed the eye with clean water and dug up some l-lysine for her dinner. She is looking much better this morning. The third eyelid is no longer showing and her eye isn’t watery any more. She is still squinting so her pupil isn’t dialating like the other...
Hi all! My girl just woke up with a watery eye and her third eyelid showing. She is acting perfectly normal and asking for food, but of course I’m worried. Is this a need for immediate vet attention or should I wait a day to see if it clears up? Thanks!
Hi all, I do still receive emails when people respond to this post/ inbox me. I'll try to help to the best of my memory, but this is on four years ago now!
@TanCat, both vets I saw said that a polyp was unlikely. We all assumed that there would be nothing and were surprised that there was one...

She sounds so sweet. My girl doesn't even meow. She just murmurs. When she thinks you are going to the kitchen to feed her, but don't she give you this disgruntled mur.
We woke up Monday and our cat was very lethargic, she is usually a total rascal running around and getting into things. It was clear she wasn't feeling well. There was a puddle of diarrhea by the litter box and wasn't interested in eating or drinking. We threw away her can of cat food, but we...
Hello,
I'm so sorry to hear about your cats. I commend you for taking them in even when you knew they were FIV positive. I know we were very worried that would be an issue with our cat.
It sounds like they both had long, happy lives all things considered. The most frustrating thing is not...
What a cutie pie memphisthecat! I love the smudge on the forehead. She does look like my girl. I guess tortico is not an actual term. Cats that have a mottled patterns are torties and any coincidental patterning that includes white would just classify them as tortie and white. It's interesting...
