    Perfect Shelter Cat--But Neutered "Late"?

    Hello, friends! I hope this post finds everyone well. It's been a while. It's been two years since Friend passed, and I've slowly (and very pickily, for better or worse) been looking for another companion. Yesterday I met the perfect cat at the shelter--a real snuggle-bug who just wants to...

    Chronic Health Issues / Quality Of Life / "when?"

    Greetings, friends; I hope everyone is well. I'm writing because there's a lot of external stuff going on in my personal life, which is making this situation all the more difficult, and I'm looking for a bit of guidance. For those who've had cats with chronic illnesses that aren't, ostensibly...

    "bad Trip" On Buprenorphine? :(

    Hi friends! I hope all's well. <3 Friend, unfortunately, has developed urinary issues this past week (extremely acidic urine + crystals). There's a whole long story about us being snuck in to see a vet we've never seen before who proposed lackluster treatment and didn't seem to understand that...

    What To Expect . . . (cat Intro + Anxious Parent)

    Heya friends! Whew, it's been a while. <3 I'm sorry for having been AWOL--people aren't joking when they said that grad school is a full-time job! Anyway, some of you might remember, but maybe not, so if you'll indulge me . . . A while back I was looking to adopt a kitten, to join my...

    Friend On High Alert

    Hello, friends! It's been a while since I was around here . . . I'm sorry to drop off the grid like that! Life's been . . . interesting. I'm returning to ask a question. Is there anything that can be done to help decrease anxiety in a kitty who's constantly on high alert? To recap: I adopted...

    Cysts And Stuff

    Hey everyone, I'm curious to hear anyone's input on the subject of cysts. When I adopted Friend back in October, I noticed a small cyst on his head; the shelter just told me that I'd have to take him to my vet to see what it was about. (They neglected to notice the even larger cyst on his...

    The Bonding Process

    Hey everyone! Recently Friend's been showing a lot of progress in his comfort-level with me, which melts my heart, so I thought it might be a neat idea if anyone wanted to share stories about the bonding process with their cats? Especially if one adopts from a shelter or rescue, the poor kitty...

    Friend, And Friend's Friend

    Hey friends! I did things a wee bit out of order and posted a post, but I wanted to take a few moments to introduce Friend to you all. He's a wonderful boy who's definitely helped get me through what's turned out to be a crappy year. I adopted him from the humane society in October of 2017; a...

    When To Get A Second Kitty

    Hi friends! It's a pleasure to meet you all--this is my first time posting! :) (I also apologize if this is in the wrong spot!) I'm looking for a bit of advice because it's been a rather hard year of my life and I don't want to project my own emotions on to my kitty. In October 2017, I...
