I echo Columbine's post.  It is wonderful that you have taken these two beautiful creatures in and given them a home and love.  Columbine hit the nail right on the head.  It takes time and there is no rule book or time line that can be followed.  They have to work it out between them.  Yes, keep...

Firstly, I must say I love the name Professor for a cat.  We must remember that cats, like people, have individual personalities and not all people get along or like everyone they meet.  People tend to be more tolerant but cats tend to be a little more cut and dried in that respect.  I have a...

I am very sorry about the loss of Azreal.   Earth has lost a beautiful creature but Heaven has gained a feline angel.  I know you will miss this kitty and you and your son are very special for opening your hearts to such little friend.  You are all in my thoughts and prayers.

You definitely have a lot going on in your life right now.  By the same token, so does Matty.  Cats, like most animals, are creatures of habit.  When changes come about, it can take them awhile to adjust.  In addition, she has the diabetes to contend with.  I must state that I am not in the...

You are a blessing to have rescued a feral kitten.  Many people will not touch them even though they deserve to be loved and cared for also.  It is so impossible to know what they have been exposed to.  You are doing the very best for her and the vet has not given up.  As others have advised...

I think with one cat, one litter box should do but sometimes, trial and error kicks in.  I believe the rule of thumb is one box per cat although I have heard where there is more than one cat, to have one extra litter box.  Every circumstance is different.  I have two cats but four litter boxes. ...

Cats, particularly kittens, have an uncanny knack of getting under foot.  I find feeding time is bad and when putting shoes on, especially if there are laces involved.  Having said that, you always need to be cognizant of their stealthy movements into the underfoot environment.  I can tell you...

Misty, you take all the time you need to grieve.  There is one more thing I want to say that I hope will bring you some comfort.  I don't know you other than through this site and you don't know me, but it is my firm belief that Darcy now knows my Maggie and Sam and all of the kitties your site...

Misty I just read about Darcy returning to her heavenly home.  I know how hard it is to have to let her go.  I will tell you it is the kindest thing you could have done but I know you know that.  Just remember she is in good hand's now and what is most important is that she has gone from an...

I am so sorry Gabe is having a rough time.  I know the older they get the more concerned we get.  You were very wise to get a second opinion.  My heart goes out to you because tomorrow can seem like five months away.  You and Gabe are in my thoughts and prayers.  Please keep us posted and give...

She looks so beautiful and happy.  I am so very very happy that everything worked out well.  There is nothing so rewarding as such a success story. As for the vet who wants to be paid for their mess up, well, you could write a letter to the counsel or governing body that oversee vets and set...

Been there, done that and had my stress level go up as a result.  One things cats are s-o-o-o-o-o-o good at is disappearing and not being found until they wish to come out.  My Pepper use to do that anytime someone would come to the house.  He is an indoor cat.  He would hide so well, despite my...

It could be anyone of what other folks have suggested.  Process of elimination may be needed here.  Definitely at this point, I would not use the clumping litter.  There are some other really good litters out there.  If the litter you are using is scented, I would eliminate that for now also. ...

I have to echo everyone else.  Try not to worry.  Unfortunately, I think you will find that most people go into a panic the minute the C word is mentioned and everything else the vet says becomes blurred and foggy.  There are several other things it could be.  Let the vet do his/her thing and...

I just read about Darcy and I know how hard it is.  You mention you only knew her for about two months but that is two months of love and care that you gave her.  Just remember, she knew you love her and you have now, in addition to that love, given her peace.  You are in my thoughts.  Let time...
