    I'm so stressed and need advice

    Catsknowme, thank you for your kind words. Here is some things that I already do. I do play with Boo hard. I only stop when he uses his nails or bites. I don't want him to think it is okay to bite or not to retract his claws. I do say firmly no Boo when he goes after Suki. I do not yell, I'm not...

    I'm so stressed and need advice

    Thank you Guarua! I did try trimming his nails. He allows me to pet him and he's gentle. But as soon as I start picking up his paws he thinks I'm playing and starts using my hand as a toy. I got one of those dog harness where you hang them and then trim their nails, but he played with the...

    Saying Goodbye and Needing advice

    I would make a terrible Foster. I would fall in love and never be able to let each and everyone go. Also, to me it seems like fostering would be harder than just having another cat because you never know what personality you're going to get when your fostering and you have to keep introducing...

    Saying Goodbye and Needing advice

    I can put Suki on a leash, but not Rat, she would probably bite and scratch me. But again, not sure if it's the right thing to do? You know when you go to adopt a cat and some say must be a only cat, well Rat would be one of those cats or with time and determination can all cats get along or am...

    Saying Goodbye and Needing advice

    Thank you di and bob, your kind words and thoughtful post means so much to me and has really touched me! I do want another male cat. But, I am deciding if I should give Rat and Suki a chance to get along. But the question is, does anyone know if all cats can eventually get along or some cats are...

    Saying Goodbye and Needing advice

    Thank you Kris, but here is the thing, Suki even though is a brat at times to her siblings is grieving Gigolo. She is crying at night a lot and seems to really miss the company of Gigolo. For me, both my girls are not as affectionate as Gigolo. While no cat will ever replace Gigolo, the thought...

    Saying Goodbye and Needing advice

    I first want to thank you all for all of your help over the years with my cat Gigolo. He was 8 years old when I got him from the Denver Animal shelter. He was in really bad shape, had most of his fur shaved off, starving and bleeding through his mouth. I took him to the vet and found he had FIV...

    Does anyone use Theophylline for their cat?

    My doctor gave me Theophylline for my cat, but after doing some research I am concerned. My doctor originally ordered Flovent inhaler, but the cost being close to $200 was very much of a burden, so my doctor recommended trying the Theophylline. Here is my concerns, first the capsules look big...

    Cat Asthma Cheapest Fluticasone Propionate Formally was Flovent Also a CKD question

    My doctor thought Chewy sold it. She has been out for six months and is probably unaware Flovent no longer exists as she wrote Flovent on the prescription. She just told me to call around, but I am not finding any generic options and the cost is around $190.00

    Cat Asthma Cheapest Fluticasone Propionate Formally was Flovent Also a CKD question

    lisahe- Thank you. The research I came up with is that is is illegal to ship me medicine outside of Canada and that any pharmacy that is willing to do so is probably not legit and you may end up with the wrong amount or even the wrong medicine from what you order and that it could be dangerous...

    Cat Asthma Cheapest Fluticasone Propionate Formally was Flovent Also a CKD question

    Thank you Silent Meowlook and lisahe! Do you know a good pharmacy to try in Canada? My doctor was also OK with keeping up with the ear, but it is probably much better to target the lungs and not the whole body with steroids correct? The only thing I worry about is the whole body steroid might...

    Is there anyone else having trouble affording the prescription diets for kidney disease?

    Thanks Indy Jones. I have not tried the bag food. My cat has no teeth. A common problem with FiV and he had to have them pulled. He has ate small dry food without his teeth before, but the vet recommended all soft can. You know, this is not the first time I have dealt with feline kidney disease...

    Is there anyone else having trouble affording the prescription diets for kidney disease?

    I have came in here before about my cat Gigolo that was diagnosed with kidney disease in October. You have all been wonderful with your help!
