    Uti?

    First of all, I'll be calling the vet tomorrow. I just am hoping for a little advice now if anyone has any. Cat is going to be three this year. He is a neutered indoor male and has no history of urinary issues. He is overweight and has been dieting for a while. But, it's not really working...

    Getting ready for a 3000 mile journey!

    What about going to the bathroom?? That would be my main concern. Jake and I have done the trip in four days before and would like to again if possible. We'll be stopping overnight twice in that case.

    Getting ready for a 3000 mile journey!

    I attempted to do a search on this, but nothing came up but an error message three times, so I guess I am posting instead. My hubby and I are moving. We haven't decided where just yet, but it will either be near my family in Ohio or his in California. We have been looking for houses and jobs...

    Cat Boarding?

    Yep, he's been fully checked. His bloodwork came back normal and he was wormed. He doesn't eat all day, just insists that food is always available. Our best guess is because when he came in the house on that fatefull day (he walked in the house one day uninvited and that was that, he was...

    Cat Boarding?

    We'll be visiting family in the begining of December for four days, most likely. I've left cats alone for two, but never four. The two we have are so needy and crave constant attention, so I really worry about leaving them. Taking them is not an option either. It's a LONG drive for kitties...

    Freshly neutered!

    He really was the easiest cat to bathe, though. Hubby scruffed him and gently pet him and talked to him. I washed. It took all of a couple of minutes and he didn't scratch, howl, bite or anything. He was great the whole time even though he hated it. Then, right after he was cuddling me...

    Freshly neutered!

    Before his surgery, CAT decided to have one last act of MANLINESS... AKA ... stupidity. He decided that jumping 5 feet in the air and landing on sticky fly paper would be cool... not so much. Needless to say, he wasn't fond of the bath that followed. He did great though, all things...

    YAY! They're okay, awake and neutered!!!

    Well the boys are home now. They are acting like it never even happened. I feel so bad. The vet is a great vet, but any surgery looks bad. I see their little butts and feel guilty. I just can't wait till it's completely healed so things can be normal for them again. I know they needed it...

    Smokette was killed by our neighbors dog yesterday

    I do apoligize. I'm not trying to start a debate, just giving another perspective about calling the SPCA. I am truly sorry for what happened to your cat. In my honest opinion though, jumping on the dogs owner isn't fair. Anyone who allows their cats outside is putting them at risk and is...

    What's little, yellow, and has puppy breath?

    He's adorable. I would take him, lol!

    Smokette was killed by our neighbors dog yesterday

    First of all I am VERY sorry for your loss. What a tragedy. However, a Pit Bull is not a killer simply because it is a Pit Bull. And because your cat was loose in the dogs yard, you might be the one that gets hit depending on where you live. If the dog was securely in it's yard then the...

    YAY! They're okay, awake and neutered!!!

    I was so stressed leaving them there. I lost a kitten during a spay when I was growing up and it just crushed me. That kitten was my little sidekick. So, now of course, anytime I have an animal under I get so incredibly nervous. I was near tears when she called to say they were waking up...

    YAY! They're okay, awake and neutered!!!

    Cat and George were neutered today! The vet just called to say that they were just waking up and were doing great!!! YAY!!!!!

    Interesting thought...

    Maybe I'll give it a shot. I don't mind the size, honestly, I'll just empty it more frequently than it appears to need to be. I really would just like to get something, litter locker or otherwise.
