I'm babysitting my mom's two cats and have come to the realization that they're incredibly overweight. I'm talking 20+ pounds. One of them knocked over my cat tree trying to get onto it. Another is out of breath just jumping onto the couch. I'm a bit shocked at how much weight they've put on...
Something attacked Kira in July. I don't know the exact date, but it was likely after the 15th. He's very touchy and doesn't like to be handled, so I've mostly been hands off with it. I've kept an eye on it since it's so obvious and easy to see. The wound closed and fur began growing in so I...

The food I've been feeding my eight furry felines for years has begun to make them sick. Since two of my cats are on a special diet anyway I figure I might as well upgrade the rest of the herd. I free feed since each cat likes to eat at different times. We also have quiet a bit of land so you...
Woof is 3 years old now. Over the winter he put on about 3 pounds. He's now lost that and more. He's very, very active. In order to get out of our back yard he has two options. He can either hike up a ladder and jump down onto an AC, or jump the fence on the other side. Either one involves a lot...
