    My little Gypsy is my hero!

    This happened to me this past weekend.... I went to bed early one night but was awakened by my little 15 yr old calico Gypsy. She had jumped up on the bed and was nudging me and meowing persistently. Over and over she kept nudging me with her nose and meowing. I didn't know what was going on...

    Newest member of my little cat family..

    Her name is Athena and she is 5 yrs old. Just adopted her yesterday. She was a long time resident at the shelter. She was horribly stressed and it caused her to not be on her best behavior when viewed. So consequently she was passed over again and again. I read her story and saw photos and...

    How to fix dry flaky skin

    My cat looks like she has dandruff. She always has white flakes all over her fur. I asked her vet about it and she told me its natural but that is not good enough for me. Believe me I have owned several cats in my 68 years and not one had flakes on their fur. I want to help her have better...

    My Gypsy was just diagnosed with the cat herpes virus. Vet told me its quite common in cats that have been in the shelter system. Anyway, the virus has caused her to have conjunctivitus in one of her eyes. The vet told me to find some L-Lysine supplements to give her. They help boost the cat's...

    What Is It With Cats And Computers?

    Every cat I ever owned has to sit right in front of the comp screen when I'm working. Then she demands to be petted, back scratched, belly rubbed, all done adoringly. I helped alleviate some of the problem by putting a small cat bed just behind the computer so she can lay and watch or snooze...

    Missing Claws?

The other claws are there but the two middle fingers are clawless. What is up with that? Is that some new fangled partial declaw she got? or maybe she lost them...

    How Long For Fur To Grow Back?

    My cat was shaved for her spay about one month ago today. How long before all her fur grows back in? She does have a little peach fuzz now but no fur yet. It's been a long time since I had a cat that was shaved so can't recall how long it takes.

    Canned Sardines & Anchovies

    I bought a can of sardines packed in water for Gypsy. She loved them! Do cats also like anchovies? Besides protein, what is the nutritional value of each? I think they have Omega 3 fatty acid in them? What should I look for in a can? Is packed in oil better than water? I assume I should also...

    My Gypsy Has Become A Petting Ho

    This shelter kitty went from extreme shyness, hiding all day long 24/7, to a petting addict. She seems to want to be petted all the time while awake, scratched, massaged, kissed, cuddled, etc. She is now a little petting fool! All the time I am petting her her tail is going swish back and...

    My Gypsy is a newly adopted older shelter cat about 8-10 yrs. (Age unknown) She also has chronic dental hygiene that will be taken care of next month.
