Just want to say that the IBD Kitties page is really a great place to get lots of info. They are a great group of people who all have kitties with IBD. Many of their cats have also developed other ailments.
I liked and shared. I am certainly a friend of ferals. I totally support TNR . I have several colonies of ferals that I feed . They have all been trapped and been "fixed". If I can't trap a cat, I will use the FeralStat powder that prevents the feals from getting pregnant. The life of a...
There is a site called IBD Kitties that is very helpful for IBD cats. The owner of the site has done extensive research on IBD. Between the other members and the owner, there is a ton of good information.
To all of you who have a cat with mammary gland cancer. Please think long and hard about surgery and chemo, etc. My cat,Arrabella, was 12 when she developed this cancer. We removed two lumps but the cancer had spread to the lymph nodes. She lived another six months before it spread to her...
I have tried just about every litter on the market (clumping kind). My cats will use almost anything, it's me that has the problem. Most of the scented one I seem to be allergic to and all of them are pretty dusty and track a lot. Right now I am using Dr. Elsey Ultra and Cat Attract. They...
By all means take your cat to the vet. He is probably already dehydrated. I agree with another post, try some pedialyte. My prayers are with you and your little one.
Several years ago I brought a new cat home. Everyone acclimated pretty well except for one cat. She started stalking the new cat. She would corner it and beat up up on it. I put her on Prozac (can't remember the dosage) and what a difference. She no longer paid any attention to the new cat...
I live in Las Cruces, NM. A few years back the local paper did an article on my sanctuary. No one volunteered to help. Still it was a blessing as I had two older gentlemen come out. One has now been petting and grooming the cats for about a year. The other gentleman built all kinds of...
I don't think we are trying to make her feel bad. We are trying to help with our suggestions and that's just what they are..suggestions. It is her cat and we should honor her decisions.
I would really recommend kitty prozac. As another reader said, it comes in a liquid form and can be compounded with a flavor. My cat didn't like any of it flavored or not but it sure helped her to calm down. It didn't make her a zombie at all. TammyP gave you some really good suggestions. I...
My apologies, I should not have said that it will probably come back. I don't know that. But what I have read the prognosis for this type of cancer is not good. I pray that your cat will be one of the lucky ones. I will keep her in my prayers/
So sorry for your little cat. I'm glad you had the surgery but please be aware that it will probably come back, usually in the lungs. On 2-22 I put my cat Arrabella to sleep. She started out with the tumors. We had the surgery but the vet said that there were some malignant cells in the...
I have had many toothless cats. The get along just fine. As in humans the gums harden up. Also, cats cannot actually chew so they mostly swallow it whole (dry food).
I have a one eyed cat. You'd never know he is sight impaired. Blind cats are just like any other cat. You have to make some adjustments but is relatively simple. If you need more proof, go to the Blind Cats Rescue page.
I so agree with others. Keep your cat indoors all the time. You already have 2 indoor cats. Why is this one not an indoor only cat? It may take some work for all the cats to coexist peacefully but there are many sites that tell you how to do this. Please, please keep this cat indoors. You...
