Thanks for the advice! I hadn't posted on one of those, so I joined it :) My fear right now is that he will either end up dead on the side of the road, or that someone will steal him. If he ends up at a shelter, he has a chip, and I've notified every place in the area of him, so I'm hoping...

One of my boys, Oliver, went missing three days ago. He escaped out of a window some EMTs carelessly left open, thinking we had called them, when really, the call had come from a neighbor. I've posted on every lost pet website I can find, passed out flyers, went out looking for him every...

I've struggled with depression in my life -- I still have bad days, and when I do, I have something to get out of bed for. I have to get up, to take care of them. If I come home from work and I've had a rough day, seeing them rush to the door when I come in lifts my spirits instantly. They...

Hawkeye has clawed me pretty deep a few times, early on after adopting him. He was part feral, so it took some time to gain his trust. He also bit one of his vets, though in his defense, they were holding him down, and she had her arm in front of his face, so.... I did try to warn her...

Oliver is super distrustful of most people - he'll stick around, but he typically doesn't let anyone but me touch him. Occasionally, even for me, if I go for his head too fast, he shies away. He hid probably for the first few months I had him. Ironically, he LOVES attention. Can't get enough...

Neji is laying on the towels in the linen closet. Oliver is in one of the cat beds, and I don't actually know where Hawke is. He's usually in my closet this time of night *shrugs*

Best thing in the world <3

Oh, yes - without question. Anyone can feed a cat. It takes something special to cherish one, and they can feel that. And, give it back in return. I do think they have a different understanding of love, but ultimately, it adds up to the same thing. That bond -- one that transcends words -- is...

Cats are very prone to stones and obstructions because of the lack of moisture in their diet. One of my boys had similar symptoms to what you described, and he also was diagnosed with a UTI. The antibiotics they gave him improved symptoms for a few days, but then I happened to notice him still...

My boy had some trouble the first night after his bladder stones surgery - he peed a small amount a few times, just on the blankets with me, but I was told that can be normal.

My oldest boy, Hawkeye, has always had breathing that is quite loud. I've had him for three years, and I've had him checked out by a few different vets, and they all say he's fine. His lungs are clear, there's nothing wrong with his heart. They said it could be any number of things, but that he...

My Neji was lethargic, and his balance was very off - he kept bumping into things. Your baby probably just experienced more severe side affects. Every medication has an inherant risk, so as long as it isn't something she takes regularly, I wouldn't worry about it.

Cats are so good at hiding it, too... It certainly wouldn't hurt to take her again. I could be wrong, but it looks inflamed to me. I find it a little odd they didn't prescribe any antibiotics.

I'd get a second opinion. I'm no expert, but I don't like the look of that wound. Does it seem to pain her at all?

Some cats are just like that. They have different likes and dislikes, much like humans. Like others said above, part of it may be just that she's still adjusting, but some cats just aren't very touchy. My cats love to be with me. Two of them like to cuddle sometimes, but definitely let them come...

Sounds like this is something you should get a second opinion on. I had a cat with an eye problem that one vet just threw antibiotics at, and the moment I took her to someone else, the diagnosis was radically different.

I'm so horrified, reading this. How could anyone who knows what it does even consider doing this to a cat? Has your sister tried soft paws? They're rubber caps that fit over their nails. It's a safe, easy alternative. Anyone I've ever educated about declawing had no idea what it really was...

Some cats take longer than others to adjust, so he probably just needs time and patience. I adopted a cat who was very aggressive and distrustful - he was partially feral, and lived on the street most of his life. He took months to truly warm up, but once he understood this was his life now, and...

I know this is gross, but do you see any worms, in or around his anus? If he still has worms, you will find them there, or even on surfaces where he has been laying. That is, if you're sure he had worms in the first place. If he did, you should have seen dead ones at some point.

Please, please take him in. Something is definitely wrong.
