In your situation, definitely not. What happened to Kitten was despicable and nothing that could have been soothed since it was pure negligence that took her away from you early. I don't know if I'd ever be able to.. "forgive and forget" if that happened to one of my cats. I would have taken the...

I agree completely with your explanation of the feeling. It will never, never be easy to lose our cats. I am so sorry for those of you that may be facing this in the near future. I hope us forum members can be here for you in your time of grief. Your local humane societies also may run support...

His paws so far haven't caused any issue like that, thankfully. I'm bringing him into a different vet to get his shots updated, and I will ask for a second opinion. His is indeed the mutation where it's not a complete extra and separate toe, the two pads are sort of conjoined on his thumb pad...

I've only had to face the decision once but it was definitely the right decision for us. It was when I was 13 years old, I'm 20 now. It's been just over 7 years as of March and I still grieve for him. His name was Dave. My baby was diagnosed with kidney disease at age 16 and given a few months...

Hello! I've got a wonderful polydactyl cat named Nico. I've had him for about a year and a half so far. I remember when I first brought him into the vet I asked if there's anything I should know or any extra issues that having that extra toe can cause. The answer was something along the lines...

Wow, that's brilliant! Thank you so much! I think I'm going to get that and pair it with this:  I'll do a few test runs to see if that may work, otherwise I might just get a different carrier that is larger and is open on all sides and see if that helps her too. My first cat Nico is fine with...

Hello cat forum! I have a predicament that I'd love to hear if anyone has a solution to. I have 2 cats, one of which that I rescued just recently. My first cat is a mellow 5 year old boy who takes traveling in stride; I have lost count of how many times he has been on a plane and he is fine...

An update as of last night and today: He peed in the litter box last night, and today when I got home! I'm gone most of the day, so unfortunately I do not know if he peed on the carpet while I was gone. I sprayed calming pheromone spray around the apartment and near the litter box, so I'm hoping...

He is a male neutered cat, 3 and a half years old. The shelter I adopted him from thinks he is a british shorthair, if that is relevant. He was brought in as a stray. Everything was fine for a while. I lived in a very small apartment with nothing low to the ground, and no carpeting. Then I...
