@catsknowme, Thank you for taking the time to reply, and sending the vibes. It really lifted my spirits to see someone else is pulling for her, too :)

Posting a follow-up, since I know I wandered onto a post on this topic from 2009 looking for info, and an outcome would have helped me make a more informed decision. She disappeared yesterday after the play-pounce from her buddy. After dark, we called off the search for her, with great...

Hey all, I need some of the collective expertise of the Feline Friends. TL;DR: Feral momma cat, separated from kittens for 2 weeks, caught and taken to spay in full health. Advised to wait 24 hours and release if no issues noted. None were, until release when we noticed a pronounced limp in...

I apparently adopted a jock-kitty. Background: I live in an apartment complex, adjacent to some family friends. I gave them my spare key in case they needed to pop over for anything or let me in. Naturally, I introduced them to Hank as soon as he was adopted (all 7.5lbs of him). My neighbor fell...

One year. For a time, I counted the weeks. When they became too many, I just knew that the 12th of the month marked another without her. Now, I can measure the time in years. Today marks the first. I still cry, but not every day as I did once. I still stare at the same fountain and remember...

I hoarded things from Midnight. I kept her scratcher, her toys (except the one I placed with her for her cremation), her collar, walking harness and other relics. Those are kept on a shelf, with her ashes, pawprint and fur. I even kept a section of dryer lint that was chockful of her fur, though...

Antonio, I've been gone for a while from the forums, and am just now catching up. I'm so sorry to hear about Pallina... but I laughed out loud through tears on reading your dreams of Lola and Pallina. Of course Pallina would want to be the only kitty..She was your darling and sole focus for so...

This helped me so much when Midnight died, and when I'm missing her still. It's on my playlist for her. Thank you for posting so others can find it

This is crossing into the weird, but I joke that Midnight wasn't just any black cat, she was my familiar (Superstitious hooey, but we played with it because why not?) I keep waiting and waiting for her to come visit me in a dream, but the only sleep-dream I've had of her was shortly after she...

Figured I'd chime in with my two cents (also in because...heh... new kitty=new problems, so I'm needing tips as well) I've been a renter for the entirety of my cat-owning experience, so these are all renter-friendly (at least, the places I've been). I'm also gone for 10-12 hours each workday...

EmmiTemmi, I'm glad to hear someone else has a kitty that will wear themselves out to the point of panting, and then immediately spring back up! Hank (a little over a year old, we think) will play until he is full-bore dog-panting, at which point I'll stop and hide his toy. He gets really upset...

:yeah: Need the Purraise back to purraise that. I came to check a thread, went to purraise a post, and saw the option was gone... then I saw previous purraises had turned into likes, and thought I'd tripped into the Twilight Zone.

I tried a few things with my Midnight when she was a kitten (I adopted her at 4 months, she was a street kitten, and a scrapper to be sure). She bit HARD, and she liked to go for hands, feet and lower legs. I tried a few things (like the hissing back, withdrawal to another room, etc.) to pretty...

SheriB, I'm sorry to hear :( Thank you for sharing her with us, and for caring for her and giving her such great comfort and care. Run free, sweet Cupcake. May you find a brook to drink from and play by, and a comfy spot to sun in.

Hey Koine, welcome to TCS! Whidbey is lovely, and I'm sorry to hear they don't have any pet friendly housing. (I'm making a mental note of that, since I was thinking about going to grad school near Seattle, and my odds of affording a house in that market are nil). My brother moved up near there...
