Fever coat is possible as his mother was exceptionally sick when she was pregnant with with him and his black and black and white brothers both have fever coat.

    Odd little ears

    This little guy is no particular pedigree. He's an orphan from the streets. But he's got some odd little ears. Not quite pointed up and curved on the sides. Are there any breeds that have ears like these? I haven't managed to get like the perfect shot of them, so I've included a lot of shots of...

    Got a new momma! She's super pretty (again). She has really pretty and loooong eye "makeup" and beautiful eyes. She looks to be a tabby on white but her tabby pattern in different than I'm used to. What is it called? Her feet also seem to look a little odd. Almost like mittens versus toes and...

    Can you towel wrap a (very) pregnant cat?

    Picked up a new foster yesterday. She's tiny, very fat, and gorgeous (flame point siamese looking). She's lazy as sin, LOUD when she's awake, and refused to eat much of anything until right this minute. LOL! I actually though it might be a case of immanent labor but she's now snarfing food down...

    Anyone here a bird person and can give me thoughts on the best bird for an 8 year old? He REALLY wants one that will talk. I really want one that won't live 50 years.

    Hi! I know the answer to the question is "as much as they want". ;)😊But, my newest foster mom came from the streets with three 2 week old babies and OBVIOUSLY hadn't had enough food. I gave her a 3 oz can of food when she arrived and then another 3 oz can about 3 hours later. She GOBBLED both...

    Incontinence in kittens

    I know very little about incontinence in cats so my apologies if this is a dumb question. Can the type of food they are fed (kibble, canned, gruel) make the leaking better or worse?

    Here we go again

    Hello! I have gotten in another pregnant foster. She's quite the character so far. She's terrified of people, but LOVES to be pet. So, we are working out way through teaching her that humans are not scary and that kitty mouths are not for biting LOL! Fortunately, she seems to be a fairly quick...

    "Love" bites from a scaredy cat

    I took in a pregnant foster on Saturday. She's pretty well freaked out by humans but oddly LOVES to be pet if she can convince herself to leave her box and come over. Problem is that she "bites". Its a bit too hard to be a nibble, but definitely not a full on bite. Likely cause she's...

    Pick up or leave down dry food

    Hello! I have 2 almost 7 month old kitties. Forever (since they started to eat cat food) they have both greatly preferred their wet food and would either refuse completely (my female) or barely touch (my male) any kibble. I work and travel enough that I need them to at least be willing to eat...
