    Resident Cat Stressed From Kittens

    Aside from some tumbling between Possy and Pixie, I am amazed at the strides that Possy has made towards accepting these two hooligans. While she will bat and chase Pixie a little when she gets riled up, it’s going really well. Here’s the milestone I’ve been waiting for since day one: (that is...

    Foreign Object In Eye

    So they ended up scraping the first 7 layers of her eye. The vet thought she saw what looked like a really small fiber or piece of glass. My guess? When the kittens first got let out, there’s one way she can get above the finished room in the basement and she likes to go there when she’s really...

    Foreign Object In Eye

    We get to go pick her up in about an hour. She’s still pretty groggy. I’m curious too! Don’t know what she could’ve gotten into. She’s an indoor cat!

    Foreign Object In Eye

    About four weeks ago I ended up taking Possy my 2yo into an emergency vet to get her eye checked out. It was swollen/red and draining. They did a green dye test, didn’t see anything and believed it to be feline herpes caused by the stress of two kittens coming home. The e vet prescribed drops...

    Introducing A New Cat To An Old Kitten, Its Not Going Well.

    For what it’s worth, my kittens learned to scale all of the baby gates blocking the doorway to their room. At this point Possy would still hiss and growl. So I let them loose. She still does a bit of they touch her, and aside from an occasional swat if she wants to be where they are, that’s all...

    Liquid Medication

    I am pretty sure I broke my cat.... This morning, wrapped her up nice and snug in a kitty burrito.... Grabbed the syringe, and she opened her mouth... And quietly took her medicine.... Didn't even have to hold her head still... Fluke right? This evening, she did the same thing..... My cat is...

    Liquid Medication

    Definitely aware of the aspiration risk. I always go slow for this reason too. Took two of us again tonight. She puts up one hell of a fight haha

    How Would You Describe My Cat?

    Yeah it’s white at the base. She’s got stripes on her belly too. Bizarrely colored cat!

    Liquid Medication

    She hates bananas so much too that's why its so ironic.... To stop her from jumping on the counters as a kitten, or my workbench, I just put bananas everywhere....:banana2:

    How Would You Describe My Cat?

    So, Possy is my 2 year old DSH. She is my heart cat, and has a very unique personality. Along with her unique personality, she's got a very strange coat pattern. I was asked by the emergency vet, on the phone, to describe her coat, and I couldn't! A dilute tortie maybe?

    Liquid Medication

    So, while the kittens are dealing with their URI, Possy has developed her own issue. What we thought was a scratch on her eye, turned out to be feline herpes. My vet couldn't get her in last week Wednesday, so we called another local vet who was able to sneak us in and get her checked out...

    This Cat Is The Devil!

    Can you desensitize her to the bag? The blanket I use is my cats absolute favorite blanket to sleep on. If I used something she isn’t used to she’s smart enough that she’d know when that item comes out something bad is going to happen. I had to desensitize her to her cat carrier too. I put her...

    This Cat Is The Devil!

    That’s a bummer! Possy will sit their and growl a bit but she won’t fight.

    This Cat Is The Devil!

    Can you make her into a “cat burrito”? My Possy (dilute tortie) cops an attitude when it comes to nail trimming, brushing, flea meds, anything of that nature. With her I end up wrapping her fairly snug into a fleece blanket. It immobilizes her and she tends to just give up when I do this. I just...

    Resident Cat Stressed From Kittens

    They played tonight. Like all three of them did zoomies and rolled around together tonight. I am amazed. And these two are so zonked from it this is the earliest they’ve passed out. Also getting super big too. Almost surpassed Possy (she’s only a 7 pound cat-smallest cat I’ve ever owned)...

    Resident Cat Stressed From Kittens

    Possy has been making big strides every day, but I guess the stress got to her. Had to take her into the vet this morning due to a swollen eye, a slight herpes outbreak. Poor girl! She was even snuggling with both kittens today but the change must have bothered her enough to start the herpes. So...

    Introduction Question: Resident Cat Doesn't Seem To Realize There's Another Cat

    My cat Possy had the same reaction with my kittens. I ended up just letting them meet. It went so well, they’ve been free running for a while now. She does hiss and growl at them still, but as gotten to the point she will share the bed with them now!

    Resident Cat Stressed From Kittens

    She’s improving daily :). If only Seti would learn she does not approve of him cuddling with her LOL. Or playing with her tail....

    Pumpkin For Cats?

    While cleaning the litter box over the last few days, I notice the kittens' poop is less than optimal. I am sure that the antibiotics they are on for their URI's are causing things to not come out quite so normal. Its not diarrhea, but its not firm like it should be. With my dog who is on a...

    Introduction Question: Resident Cat Doesn't Seem To Realize There's Another Cat

    Possy my resident cat, growled and hissed at the kittens regardless of a closed door or a gate. But when they escaped the one night, aside from hissing and growling, she didn’t change her habits at all. So I never restrained them again. While she will correct them if they chase her tail or get...
