    Finding a claw-proof (!) comforter for my bed

    Since rescuing my little boy, I've had a crash course in learning to meet his special needs. One of the challenges I constantly have is finding surfaces he can't shred, because his claws can't retract very well.

The cat started to lose more weight, however, and began developing many peculiar symptoms, bit by bit, but I think I was the only one who noticed. -randomly dashing around with no destination...

    Considering Food For Elder Cat Who Vomits A Lot

    Thanks to all who replied here. The cat had a vet trip, received a steroid shot, and appeared to experience immediate relief from symptoms. IBS seemed to be an accurate diagnosis. She has gained back some weight, about 1.0-2.0 lbs, which was much needed. She will not switch to other...
