So, my adventure with Poppy has been long, starting from the moment she showed up on my front porch, emaciated and weak. She is now a bright, playful adult cat. Unfortunately, she very much craves the outdoors, and her territory has been taken over by other, more aggressive cats. I play with her...
Their introductoin was very slow to begin with. She was separated from the other for five weeks while we fought against giardia and, malnutrition, and the worst part of her IBD. I started her off with an introduction with my friendly, laid back kitty, Mycroft. He was hissy at first, but reached...
Thanks for the advice! She really is the sweetest kitty. Honestly, the IBD isn’t a problem to me. She just has too much energy for my other two cats, and I think she's probably a little too territorial for them. One of my cats hisses at her any time she gets close and yowls whenever she tries to...
So, I have taken in a stray that has been diagnosed with traumatic Inflammatory Bowel Disease. Basically, any time something big happens in her life, she gets bad diarrhea that requires medication to get rid of. She’s lived in my house for coming up four months, but she doesn’t get along with...
So I free feed my kitties via slow-feeders. The ones i use are round and ceramic with openings on each side, and I have them stationed in three different rooms for easy access and to discourage competition. Then at nine every night, they all get a can of wet food in separate bowls.
I appreciate the advice! Poppy had a month-long introduction due to some persistent Giardia trophozoites, and Josiah didn't really mind her until she started acting like a kitten again and including herself in the play environment. Now, he will hiss and chase way any of the cats that even look...
Meet Josiah. Josiah is shelter cat that I adopted while working at the Humane Society fo North Texas. He was on the EU list for an upper respiratory infection that turned out to be chronic allergies. I decided to stay his execution by fostering him until he got over his "URI." Of course, since...
This sweet boy is Mycroft. He was the first kitty I ever brought home, and he easily charmed his way into the hearts of my anti-cat family. I adopted him during a dark period of time in my life, and he brought me joy when I couldn't find happiness, and he's been there through the stress and...
Meet Josiah.Josiah is the sweetest little #cuddlebug you would ever see. He was adopted at the age of 6 last year from the shelter I worked at. I had fostered him for almost two months, and by that point, I couldn't give him up. So he became a permanent fixture in my house. He got long well with...
Thanks for the advice! I'll definitely keep y'all up-to-date, seeing as I'll probably need more help with her, especially if she doesn't figure out this playing thing! Here's a picture of her, if it uploads right. :)
