    Black/brown eyes

    Hi Cindy! We just finished our second round of antibiotics and fingers crossed🤞 I think it may have taken care of the URI. His left eye is funny because it has a white film around the edge, but also is the one that you can see his pupil on better when the light hits it. I'm getting more...

    Black/brown eyes

    Thank you. I did exactly as you said and took a deep breath. You're right and your point about medication resistance is very valid.

    Black/brown eyes

    Thanks for that. It helps. My friends tell me he looks evil and creepy. He is the sweetest animal, just wants love and attention at all times. I don't know why I have such a hard time with his eyes. I have this need to fix what's wrong with pets immediately and this isn't like that. Its not like...

    Refinishing cat tree

    I generally use eco friendly soaps in my cleaning, and usually just my favouite combo of water, dish soap and vinegar for most things. We had a bird a long time ago and I ended up tossing everything that was scented. As a result I've gotten really sensitive to the high scents and chemical smells...

    Black/brown eyes

    I know I've mentioned my concerns about Coals eyes a few times recently. Just looking for perspective here. His eyes are brown/almost black, and the vet says it's probably scaring from having a chronic URI/herpes as a kitten. His eyes do not effect him in any way (no pain, no oozing, no sight...

    She sounds like she's feeling a bit better! Not hiding is a great sign. Enjoy your show!

    Refinishing cat tree

    Was actually going to continue a few rounds of plain water in my carpet cleaner and maybe a round of vinegar water before that (or just spray some on and rinse it off with the carpet cleaner). Part of my problem is apparently I hate the smell of the carpet soap, so I thought maybe getting more...

    Refinishing cat tree

    Thanks guys! Unfortunately I live in an apartment and I don't have tools, and my in laws just got rid of theirs with their downsizing. Such great advice! Wish I could follow through. For now I've thrown out the base of the cup where he peed and am going to try to do more carpet cleaning on it...

    Glad she's still eating a bit. Sounds like she probably had a uti, but maybe it wasn't the only thing wrong? Hope the vet gets back to you soon. They sound really frustrating

    Refinishing cat tree

    I can post pictures, however your post got me thinking about a few things. Given the way the tree is built I think it's almost impossible to dismantle. That combined with the cost of lumber right now ($100/ sheet for plywood?!?) Really makes building my own or dismantling and partly building it...

    Refinishing cat tree

    This question is more about building and less about cats. Coal peed in my 16 year old cat tree. Admittedly, I've never properly cleaned it before aside from spot cleaning. He's only done it once and was probably making a comment about something (recent vet visit? 3 other cats worth of smell? A...

    Utis can really mess with your whole self! Some people even become delirious with them. I hope the vet was right too, or at least that she feels comfort from the meds.

    Let us know when you talk to the vet. Hopefully she's in a condition to treat her. I know personally how hard end of life is, especially when you've had the cat your whole life. My thoughts are with you, none of this is easy.

    Durable cat trees in Canada?

    It needs to hold up against a 5 year old child in addition to Coal. I'll have to look into what they're made of :)
