@lisahe , that's what I was thinking - that the hills food doesn't seem all that much different from some cheap unhealthy food aside from the price. do you have any specific low carb brands to recommend?

I adopted my cat Pretty Boy a few years ago, he's around 12 or so and has FIV, and a few little comorbidities of that, specifically really bad ibs (always diarrhea, can be really forceful and painful) and asthma (episodes of coughing and wheezing, occasionally hacking up phlegm. had no idea what...

Tikka's around a year and a half or two years, I think - so an adult, just a youngish one (especially compared to pretty boy). while she's not using her claws or aiming to hurt or anything, I'm pretty sure it's still some level of aggression, because she yowls and hisses. She'll jump at him when...

we've had Pretty Boy, a sweet mellow older guy, for two years now. Around 6? months or so ago we took in Tikka, who's a very energetic and flighty younger girl. They took a long, long, long time making any progress on getting along. We've been keeping them in separate rooms this whole time...

thank you for the replies and advice, everyone. for the most part it's all stuff i've read before but just felt okay with pushing for some reason... but obviously that isn't working out, so it's good to get the reassurance to go back to basics. I will say I forgot calming products for cats were...

our cat we've had for a couple years (Pretty Boy, ~12?, neutered male) and a cat we've had for a month or two (Tikka, ~3?, spayed female) aren't getting along. Tikka was a stray we found living in a local parking lot with kittens around a year and a half ago. we took her in, got her fixed and...

Hello yall. Sashi's been doing pretty well. I need to get on calling around checking for cancellations. She actually ended up figuring out she could claw her way out of her pen, and while I fixed it, she dislikes it enough (and now knows how to escape)(and also has behaved enough) that I found a...

alright it's been a couple days. she's very conflicted. haven't heard at all from the person who took the kittens, even though I left them my phone number twice for when they wanted to reconnect them with the mom... I'm real miffed about it and a little upset I didn't bring the kittens in early...

got the mom trapped and inside in the pen. she's real stressed out but I'm hoping if we leave her alone (and keep our other cat at a bit of a distance from the pen) she'll calm down. going to make a spay appointment tomorrow, hope I can get one for the next day or something

they didn't leave any way to contact them, though I left my phone number. It's raining today and I didn't see the mom out, but I left her food and if it's gone by a bit later I'm going to set the live trap for her

so far, the mom has stayed in the same place. and she is very distressed. she keeps trying to find them. :( but the person who took the kittens mentioned they plan to bring her in to the vet also and reunite them soon. I'm still going to go out there twice a day to feed her, so I'll keep an eye...

The kittens were taken in by someone else, as I could tell with a carrier left there and the mom in distress. I left them notes and they responded, telling me they're a vet technician and are getting the kittens care & will take in the mom soon too. they also berated me for all the things I...

About a week and a half ago we became aware of a mom cat and two kittens living under a broken down car nearby. I've been bringing them food and water and trying to socialize with them since then. But I'm having some trouble knowing where to go from here. -all nearby shelters are full. -the mom...

she's been obviously having a hard go of things, having trouble walking, stumbling, and very little energy, having to take breaks after small bits of activity. but the diuretics and nutrigel have helped. there was about a week where she just lived in her dark, safe little cardboard castle (and...

Thank you <3 she's already only on wet food, she's never been able to stomach dry, so no issues there As soon as I read this I went out and bought some kitten nutrigel, she LOVES it more than anything else I've ever seen her eat, she was licking it off the plate long after the bit I dolloped...
