    New Heart Murmur (Senior Cat)

    Timothy had his last annual in October 2022. No signs of a murmur then. He had his first shot of solensia February 1st. I can't remember if they listened to his heart then, I don't think so, we were there to get his eyes looked at - he's got some colour changes that need to be monitored, I...

    Scratcher of wood

    Timothy, our eldest (15 in October), enjoys scratching our couch. Cordelia - who is 5 now - enjoys wood. I DO trim their claws, though perhaps have not always been as on top of it as I should've been. Our IKEA bedframe (actual solid wood) looks like we have a beaver living with us (kind of...

    Solensia

    Timothy will be 15 in October. So not old, but a senior kitty. He's had elbow arthritis (pretty destroyed) for quite some time, probably since we adopted him. He weighed 23.4lbs when we adopted him and is now a pretty healthy weight (we did start feeding Hill's oral care and both cats have...

    Sudden humping

    So sort of weird...I called the vet and talked to the receptionist, they said they could have the vet call me back but I felt silly. Timothy (now around 13 years I'm pretty sure) was neutered around 8-9 years old when he was brought to the shelter. Cordelia (3 years) was fixed by the rescue...

    Cordelia (3ish years) not eating

    Cordelia is fed on our kitchen counter, so that our other cat doesn't eat her food - she's a grazer (and he can't make the jump). She did not finish/eat dinner last night. Sometimes she won't eat a lot, so we chalked it up to that and figured she'd finish her breakfast. She didn't eat any...

    Toxic Flowers?

    Some friends surprised me with flowers today! I THINK they're gladiolus (based on google) and Timothy kept trying to chew them so I stuck them outside as apparently they're toxic. Does anyone know? I would love to have them inside, but not if they're going to kill the cats...

    Pancreatis

    Hi...so I have a lack of appetite thread, started Saturday morning, Timothy (former fat cat who will ALWAYS tell you he's starving) was disinterested in food. We noticed a broken upper canine. Supportive fed Saturday and Sunday, gave metacam. He was scheduled for surgery this Friday, but went...

    Lack of appetite

    Timothy weighed 23.4lbs when we adopted him roughly 3 years ago. He's now, last weighed, around 14.7lbs. We've been working on getting him to lose weight again as he has terrible elbow arthritis. He's on meds for it, and fish oil. We've ordered some joint supplements which should be coming...

    Arthritis at 11...

    So I'm not here much - I had a thread about Timothy's weight loss (he weighed 23.4lbs when we adopted him, down to 15lbs now). We noticed limping when we first adopted him (almost 3 years ago) and the vet couldn't feel any thickening. It went away with his weight loss. He's been limping...

    Timothy's Weight Loss Thread

    I have been reading Mickey's and it's inspirational, but as it is 35 pages long and quite old and I didn't want to distract from Mickey I thought I'd start one for the cat I adopted (last Thursday, so today is day 7) and who weighs 23.4lbs. He gained weight in the shelter. When I weighed him...

    Training Adult Cat To Harness

    New member but not new to cats. Years ago (like over a decade) I successfully trained a foster kitten to walk on a harness. One of my current cats, Esme, I've tried on a harness - she plays dead. I've tried different locations, balcony (she's always wanting to go out there), in the...

    Full House! Jarn From Toronto

    Hi there, I recently adopted a new cat with my husband, and as he is extremely obese (23.4lbs) I thought it would be good to seek out a forum (also of course doing veterinary care...he's been twice in the 6 days we've had him!) to get support. I adopted my first cat, Mitch (a silver tabby)...
