Hi! Yes, much better now. :)

I adopted Margo, a 2.5 year old cat, a month ago. I bought the dry food the shelter had been giving her (Hill's Adult 1-6) but she didn't want to eat much of it. I figured it was just her adjusting to a new environment. I wanted to get her on Iams Sensitive Stomach (my mom did a ton of research...

I adopted Margo just over two weeks ago. She's 2.5 years old. The first week she was a dream. Openly curious (I didn't wean her into my space, which is on me), played from day 1, meowed, purred, rubbed up against me, let me pet her, doesn't hide, litter habits are spot on. She doesn't get in my...

Oh! So if let's say my guy gets the urethral blockage while insured they'll cover it, but if he has a second occurrence that same year then they won't? Maybe I need to call these companies and get the fine print.

Oh that's interesting. What's the point of having insurance if they won't cover ongoing issues? I guess I have to dig a little deeper. I'll look into PetSecure. Thanks.

First time looking into pet insurance. I'm not worried about preventive. These are the 4 I've gotten quotes from. Lemonade and Pets Best are the cheapest, but they don't dover sick visits or dental (Lemonade has add-ons but it's $$$). Fetch and Pumpkin seem to cover the most. I'm guessing once I...

I also wanted to mention that it isn't about one tapeworm and bad breath. The anxiety is around years and years of knowing there's an issue but no vet being able to help until it's too late and I've spent tons of money. That's that happened with my last guy. He suffered and despite me taking him...

I will never keep a cat solely on dry food. I do plan to get him on wet food only eventually. I'm trying to play with him as much as possible but I've had Covid for a week (almost the whole time I've had him) and haven't had energy to do basic functions. So his playtime has been limited to how...

He's 9 months old. What I know about him is that he was found wandering around a vet clinic - assumedly dumped. They trapped him and were planning on putting him in the catch and release program but the vet clinic was convinced he wasn't feral because he's flop over and expose his tummy. So they...

I decided to adopt a new kitty 11 days ago. I'm definitely having remorse and don't feel like I gave myself enough time to heal from losing my soul-kitty. I'm going to give this new guy a couple of weeks trial, but in the meantime I'm a bit concerned about a few things. It could also be PTSD...

Hey there. I thought I'd check in and see how things were going. I brought home a 9 month boy cat from a shelter 10 days ago. I did the slow switch with the dry food, but have continued feeding him the wet food he had at the shelter. His overnight poos are formed. But he'll use the box midday...

Can I ask what size you got? I'm terrible at picking sizes.

Thanks!!!!! This is really cool. I've been looking at play pens too - imaging they would have a similar feel - because I'm not certain she's litter trained yet.

This is amazing! Thank you so much. :)

Soooooo funny thing is ... *I* actually started a thread like that. Haha. Thanks for the reminder. I just re-read the replies.

Awesome! Thank you!

I've considered this. Unfortunately my apartment charges a $400 non-refundable pet fee for each pet. $800 is a lot for me to do as soon as next week otherwise I would adopt the mama too.

I put my soul-kitty, Bert, to sleep this past October after having him for 16 years. I didn't think I would be adopting a new babe this soon but a friend is fostering a mama and 3 kitties. I fell in love with one of them. I haven't committed but have asked my friend to hold her for me. She goes...

I knew someone who would take his cat, Mr. Peterson, everywhere. Like from California to Sweden for month-long dance camps. I'm definitely going to try to condition my next cat to travel.

Great advice. Thank you.
