So for years, Lucy had a habit of meowing at 4 AM every morning because I would get up at 4:30 AM. She didn’t do that today, so of course that was a sign. She didn’t eat much this morning, even after giving her a buffet of choices to pick from. I think I’m finally at peace with my decision to...

Thank you so much everyone. Your heartfelt responses are so appreciated. Woke up at 430am for work and she greeted me at the door ready to eat. She ate well and rubbed her face on the back door. Today is a good day. I got her vaccines yesterday and bloodwork so we will see what the bloodwork...

I don’t understand this response

My Siamese, Lucy, came to me in 2009 as a stray. She had a rough set of teeth at the time, so the vet that I took her to thought she was already an elder kitty. She guessed her to be 10 years old back then. Well that would make her 24 this year so I doubt she is 24, but she is certainly pushing...

I’m sure my vet will be open to anything I ask. I have been with her since the late 90s. Right now I’m just doing what she tells me but I will definitely ask. Thank you thank you thank you!

Hello everyone! My Olivia had a bout of hepatic lipidosis a few months ago. I got her back to Health luckily. They did an ultrasound and a fine needle aspirate and confirmed it was hepatic lipidosis. Her liver enzymes and bilirubin were also very elevated. I took her back for a check up after...

She’s growling so she is certainly not thrilled with me right now.

So Olivia 🐈‍⬛ went on a hunger strike for some reason and now she’s jaundice and not well. Blood work showed elevated liver enzymes - specifically Bili and ALP. Ultrasound showed potential possibilities of hepatic lipidosis, cholangiohepatitos, or hepatic lymphoma. They did a fine needle...

So here is the verdict. They got urine but they said it looks clear although they will send it off anyway to get it checked. Both of her anal glands were impacted, infected, and had the look of cottage cheese I was told. Mystery solved.

She used to scoot her booty some so maybe it IS her anal glands. She's a Siamese too. :) Thanks to you both. Her appt is at 240pm today. I used to have a kitty with anal gland issues. One of his anal glands actually absessed. The emergency vet lanced it and asked if anyone had any...

So I've noticed my girl Bonnie (5 years old) grooming her genital area more than normal over the past few days. Monday evening, she started walking backward a bit and then was fine. Tuesday evening, I noticed her walking in a couple of circles and then was fine. She's still licking herself...

I hope it is something simple too. If it comes back, my first change will be the food. My vet said the food should be fine but who knows? I buy PurinaOne Grain Free Chicken. It is store-bought so maybe I need to think about a higher end food. Curious about opinions from others on food. I can’t...

Who could resist them? I just love them so much.

There were three. I trapped all three and one of my coworkers took the third one. She is living the life in the Virgin Islands now. My poor husband knew when I put food out, that they were to be mine soon.

This memory showed up on my Facebook from 4 years ago. This is Olivia with her “sister from another Mister” Bonnie.
