If anyone would like to watch these and tell me what they’re seeing in Clove’s body language especially, I’d really appreciate it. I feel stuck and I’m hoping for some insight on how to move forward with these cat introductions. Sophie, the colorpoint girl, is 13 years old and it’s her house...

Haven’t posted in a long time, but Chilli and Clove are doing well! We’ve recently (2.5 weeks ago) moved in with my aunt and her two cats, and are doing a slow introduction process. Wanted to gain any wisdom from members here. Some notes: -The two resident cats here are older (~13), both...

Hope all are doing well! I miss hanging out on the forums - will try to visit more frequently :) Chilli and Clove are both doing very well. Here are some recent pics (model shots and then silly ones!).

Hi everyone! I haven’t posted in a long time, but here asking for advice. Chilli had 3 teeth extracted today (all upper premolars - the two teeny-tiny ones, and one of the medium sized ones) due to FORLs. She is home with a cone on that’s supposed to stay on for a week… :O My instinct is to...

I was going to wait until the fancy pics the artist took came in, but I’m too impatient! I finally got my memorial tattoo of Chai a few days ago, and wanted to share it with you all. My iphone pictures truly don’t do it justice. It’s so beautiful and I couldn’t be happier. (Artist is...

I feel so bad. I was trimming Chilli’s fluffy butt and pantaloons with pet clippers, as I often do to keep things sanitary, since she’s super good about it. I had the lowest guard on the clippers to do right around the butt, but somehow I think it scratched her little butthole. There is a tiny...

I’ve been trying to put my cats on more of a mealtime schedule rather than free-feeding, for weight maintenance as well as hoping to eventually transition them to raw food. However, Chilli is notorious for vomiting acid/bile if she doesn’t eat for more than a few hours. This seems to be true...

Hi everyone, I am feeling a bit overwhelmed after getting conflicting advice from different vets about this, not to mention from different articles and research I’ve been reading. Last Thursday morning Chilli started showing sudden signs of not feeling well. By the time I got home from work...

I woke up this morning to Chilli vomiting up a hairball - it’s been many months since the last one, so I didn’t think much of it. After that, though, she became immediately sneezy and sniffly, licking her lips and acting clearly sick. She perked up for treats and did eat some breakfast, but...

I recently saw a video of this street kitten and was so curious about its color, so I took some screenshots. Any ideas? I thought it looked like a torbie with the different colored toes, but I’ve never seen one this light before.

I’m becoming convinced that I’ve been cursed by some evil god of feline dental health... I’ve only been a cat owner since 2018, but each of my cats has had unusually severe teeth issues. I’ve spent over $3k in veterinary dental surgeries/treatments alone over the past two years. I’ve been...

My cats are very well-behaved for their daily teeth brushing, but I’m finding it hard to reach the back teeth on the bottom. When their jaws are closed, I can reach the top teeth easily, but then they’re covering the bottom ones completely. Trying to have the cats just slightly open their mouth...

I can’t decide on the right thread to put this in, so I’ll make my own! I just love Chilli’s fluffy coat. It’s such a pretty color and so soft, too. :)

This was in my YouTube recommendations. It made me cry! I live here in Korea and it's a tough life for feral cats... many dangers for them and almost no TNR/shelters/etc or support... but there is a wonderful community of kind people who do their best to care for them. My Chai was rescued from a...

I am planning on taking her to the vet tomorrow... Wondering if anyone else has possibly had this experience. After Chilli’s recent dental cleaning, my vet said I need to start brushing the cats’ teeth every day. I’ve done it a few times this week with the CET Poultry flavor toothpaste. I...

Yesterday Chilli got her dental cleaning, which went fine. She came home really “high” and was just staring into space with giant pupils for most of the day. She seemed happy but a bit wired, strangely, and I don’t know if she slept much. Today she seemed better, purred a bit, and slept a LOT...

She’s such a pretty girl when she actually stands still!

Recently Clove’s favorite toys are these small woolen balls that she bats and chases around. I buy them in bulk because she eventually tears them apart (and leaves the fluff all over the house), but she really loves them and they keep her entertained. I was thrilled to finally find a toy that...

... when this little fluffball crawls on my lap as I’m trying to leave?? I’ll be gone for ten days (visiting home overseas) and it’s my first trip away from my babies in a year and a half. First trip ever away from Clove. I miss them so much already! They have an excellent catsitter who is...

I saw this the other day and thought it was a lovely analogy for animal rescue, especially when caring for strays and ferals in what I’m sure can often feel like an uphill battle. I don’t comment here much these days but I do read posts in this section often, and I will be forever grateful for...
