    Your other cats after losing one.

    After losing my George 2 weeks ago, I have found my other two cats seem a lot closer. They are always together and never far from one another. They were together before I added George. Once George came, my two boys would play a lot together, but now my Ollie seems to be playing more with Ellie...

    My beautiful George

    Crossed the rainbow bridge last night. I am so sad. I don't know what we missed. I wish I could have done better for him. My heart is broken.

    Suggestions for cleaning a sick cat

    My George has been ill for 3 weeks now. Long story short, he has been getting feedings from me and yesterday he vomited a lot. His fur around his neck is really a mess. He has extreme vertigo at this time. I saw there was a waterless spray bath by Burt's Bees- but also concerned the smell could...

    Prayers for my Georgie

    He has been sick coming up on 3 weeks now. Multiple trips to the vet, multiple antibiotics, steroids, multiple blood tests, urine test, X-rays. Still no real answer. Vet feels it is a virus of some kind that has now led to vertigo. He spent the entire day at the vets yesterday for tests and...

    Getting a cat to eat

    My George has been ill - has been to the vet and we think it's a virus. He has lost weight and only is eating small amounts at a time. We have tried a lot of foods - he will eat a bit then stop. We have some treats he will eat. Any ideas? I've tried baby food and even got the recovery pate from...

    Worried about my George

    I noticed Friday George was not acting like himself. He was quiet and he's usually happy and purring loudly. I made an appt for him at the vet and sure enough he had a fever. He got an antibiotic shot and the vet said if not improved, bring him back Saturday. He was eating but his behaviour was...

    Introducing a new puppy to the brood!

    I will be getting an 8 week old golden retriever puppy in 1 week. I have 3 cats aged 18 months, 14 months and 11 months. I have introduced cats and dogs before and never really given it as much thought as introducing cats. I have had goldens in the past and they always have gotten along with the...

    Herpes Virus question?

    Good Morning, My Ollie is about 13 months old. He had the herpes viral infection as a kitten and I understand he will always have this. I give him lysine daily. We are experiencing a flare up I guess. He is sneezing a lot and his eyes are a bit runny. I don't see any yellow or green discharge...

    Cool Signatures With The Cat Pics?

    Would someone be kind enough to direct me to where I can make a cool signature with a collage of my cats in it. I've seen really neat ones, but have no idea how to make one!

    Automated Pet Feeder

    We are usually home to feed the kitties, but we may be away over night and I'm thinking this will be a good thing to have when we are not at home. There are definitely more expensive ones, but this one has good reviews.

    Best Wet Food Economically?

    So I now have 3 cats to feed. I prefer to feed them wet food 2x daily with a bit of dry. I've been trying to find the best food at the best price in a larger can. I have been feeding fancy feast (small cans so I need 1.5 per feeding) and some blue buffalo. My pet store often puts food on sale as...

    My third rescue kitten is arriving today. I have 2 others that came at different times (now 11 & 9 months), so I have read lots about keeping them separated, site swapping, feeding on opposite sides of the door etc. and have some experience with this. I know to go as fast as my slowest cat. I...

    3 Cats Too Many?

    I have 7 and 9 month old kittens who are now well bonded and my daughter just sent me the cutest kitten up for adoption. Still a baby - about 8 weeks. Is three too many? Am I going to rock the boat? Too much of a good thing with two that get along? Give me your honest thoughts!

    9 And 7 Month Old Kittens.

    I normally feed my kittens a 3 oz can of canned meat in the morning with 1/2 cup dry and the same in the evening (they share that amount). It appears they may be gaining a bit too much weight, so my question is - would you give the same amount of meat and cut back on the dry? Or vice versa. I...
