Hope all goes well. My kitty Cleo has chronic gingivitis so we know what you're going through. If it keeps recurring they may have to do a small biopsy of the gingivitis to make sure they proceed correctly. It's good you had the blood test done because that'll lower her risk of a bad reaction...

Thanks everyone! That makes me feel better. He's a sweety. He's huge (like a Maine coon size) but thinks he's a little kitten. He's never had any health problems before. He's just very shy & nervous, I rescued him from a feral mom after I had her spayed. I worry because he was the only one of 8...

Yesterday I took my clan to the vet for their annual visit. Everyone came out fine except for my big boy Solo. He's three years old medium hair tabby. The vet said she could hear a heart murmur when his heart was racing (he gets really scared at the vet) but as it slowed down she couldn't hear...

Personally I love Natural Balance. I have tried all kinds of foods with my 4 cats & this is the only one that doesn't make them fat, which makes my vet very happy. They seem to like it a lot & it's considered high-quality by the rescue groups that I associate with. I originally chose it because...

She really likes people but if she thinks a cat is around she tries to bolt out of the cage. The bite she gave my boyfriend was more of a reverse aggression I guess because she has never even hissed at us before. Hopefully my cats will be able to forgive her & she'll make friends after the...

Hi everyone. A quick update then my question. Charity, the stray and her 5 babies are doing great. They are about 2 weeks old now & all have opened their eyes & seem to be hearing some sounds. We moved them from the bathroom to their cage & so far other than Charity being annoyed with being...

hey that's a good idea too. I think I may have gotten some when I went to the grocery store last night. I'll give it a try tonight. Thanks!

Pipe Cleaner...That's a good idea! I'll have to go get some & try it out. Luckily she hasn't figured out the bathroom door yet. But she does know what the doorknob does so it could just be a matter of time! Now that one of the little boys has his eyes open he's been trying to reach the top of...

Well, I thought we did ok. I put in some yummy food & then the kittens. She nursed them right away & seemed pretty calm. After awhile I could hear her rattling the cage and figured she was mad about being in there. I'd say sweet things to her, but left the sheet over it so I couldn't see what...

Yeah she's had a general exam & been tested for FIV & FELV, both were negative. Other than being under weight she looked very good the doctor said. She had worms & was treated for them as well as fleas. Since then she has gained some weight & eats very well. So she & the kittens appear to be...

A little over a week ago I was told to visit this board and post some questions about a pregnant stray that I have taken in. Well since then she had her kittens and I have had several follow-up questions & had wonderful responses, suggestions, & support. Thank you all. From me & my whole clan...

The stray Momma cat, Charity & her babies that I'm fostering are doing very well. Thanks for everyone's advice on helping them. They are about a week old and so far all is well. However I have yet another question. We have been keeping her and the kittens in a box under my bathroom sink. It's...

Thank you so much. That site is wonderful. I just wanted to make sure I didn't do more harm than good. So far they are all gaining weight at a regular pace. I have one who's quite a bit smaller... must be the runt, she's smaller than the others but is putting on weight at the same rate as the...

The pregnant 6 mo. old stray that I found had her kittens on Saturday and she & all 5 of the babies are doing very well. We didn't think she could have that many because she wasn't very big. Now that she has had them we can see just how skinny she is, I can't even allow myself to think how...

Thank you both for your input. She hasn't had them yet but I keep thinking that she's got to be close. She is a very sweet little girl (except to the other cats right now) so I figure someone dumped her because she doesn't seem feral at all. She was really skinny when I found her about 3 weeks...
