Thank you for this advice! Poppy was the “only child” ever since she was 7 weeks old and is now 2 years old, so I expected her not to be very pleased with sharing her space. Piper is 11 months old, and will be 1 year old on July 24 (her birthdate according to the rescue) and has been around cats...

When things get to the point where Poppy looks like she’s had enough I typically remove one and put them in the master bedroom for a break. After an hour or so, whoever I put in the room gets to come out and it’s fine for a little while but then the hissing starts back up again. Thankfully, no...

It happened this past Sunday so it hasn’t been too terribly long. I’ve noticed Poppy won’t always hiss at her as soon as she sees Piper like she did the first few days, but she does if Piper dare to approach her. Piper is not acting innocent though, she will purposely run up to Poppy full speed...

Piper and Poppy got along fine after their introduction for about two months, they hung out together, played, ate next to each other, slept in the bed with us, etc. Then one night while we were asleep I heard Poppy yell, the type of yell I’ve only heard once when she accidentally got her tail...

Great news! That ought to get rid of those nasty fleas for good! And so funny about the flea baths, my cat used to yell at me during them (probably cursing at me in cat tongue lol). I’d still keep an eye out for a few weeks just to make sure, those critter love hiding eggs where you least...

I hope he feels better soon and that after treatment & everything being washed he won’t have to worry about being itchy again! (And that you won’t have to worry about it either!)

Poppy doing what she does best: napping!

Poppy (the tortie) and Piper (the tabby): Princesses of the tower

Thank you for your reply. She hasn’t done it again yet, but that does make me feel a bit better about it. And yes, i’ll still show her vet just for 100% clarity. Her vet is very kind and attentive to her (she gets anxious while being there and they do a great job caring for her) so I know they...

Yes, I would wash everything to be sure. If you have carpet that he’s been on I’d get something to clean that as well. I had a cat that ended up with fleas once about 8 years ago and we had carpet, at the time I didn’t think about the fleas being able to go in the carpet and lay eggs which...

Thank you for this, next time I’ll start recording and I’ll post it here as well as showing the vet at her next appointment.

She does it whilst kneading the blanket so she’s up straight and her head is up as well, I assumed it was coughing but it’s almost like she’s clearing her throat also. I’ll be sure to catch it on video the next time she does it, which is usually at night when we are in bed and she’s doing a...

My recently adopted shelter/rescue cat (her name is Piper) coughs only when “making biscuits” (kneading a blanket) while purring. However, when she purrs any other time while not kneading, she doesn’t cough at all. This happens to any blanket she does this on, I at first thought maybe the...

hi everyone! it’s been a while, i apologize! here’s an update on poppy; she’s parasite free now!! the second vet did find coccidia and she was promptly treated for it and now she’s all better! turns out she also had a sensitive tummy so we also had to change her food to better accommodate her...

hello everyone. so sorry for the delay in the update since her last vet visit. honestly, it felt very rushed. i brought a fecal sample, was prepared to be told she would need another dose, only for them to come out with a different medicine and tell us she had round worms, it was charged to...

hello everyone! poppy update! she’s pooping completely NORMAL!!! we are so happy! but we have our follow up appointment from the vet on monday so see where we stand with the coccidia! poppy no longer hides, she no longer has to sleep in the bathroom, she is roaming around the apartment and...

update: this sounds so gross to say and be happy about but we actually had a more solid poop yesterday! they’re still pretty loose/wet but it’s no longer just a gross little puddle, we are getting somewhere! i know it’ll be a while before everything is normal but i can’t believe how happy i was...

photo update 😊 shes a huge cuddle bug now

just an update: still has diarrhea but i notice it doesn’t smell as bad, maybe that’s some progress? it’s day 5 of albon medicine. i took a video for the vet but am unsure how to upload a video to here? the way she walks is just kind of wobbly. i’m unsure how to describe it. but she still...

thank you!! i actually have a quick question! poppy kind of walks a little weird. her back end kind of wobbles a bit. i checked to see if any of her legs or hips were causing her pain but she didn’t cry or anything when i checked them out. is this just how small kittens walk sometimes or should...
