    Cat keeps trying to mate with his housemate

    Stark is estimated to be about seven years old. Yes, he is neutered. I don't know when he was neutered, as he's a rescue who came from a feral colony (he is not feral...probably a dumped housecat.) Thor is also around seven and was neutered as a kitten. Stark already has a habit of mating...

    JJ had another stroke- I think this is the end of the line

    JJ (Jonas) is my 15 year old hospice cat. He was being treated for lymphoma, but he recently started having diarrhea and stopped eating and we learned his chemo was no longer working. It was becoming apparent that something neurological was happening as well. We were able to get him eating...

    15 year old cat not responding to chemo- when to stop diagnostics

    At this point, I'm fairly sure there is something progressive happening in his brain. I had to take the bed apart and put the mattress on the floor today because he fell over the side repeatedly last night. That's something he's never done. He's also been eating in a way that gets his food...

    15 year old cat not responding to chemo- when to stop diagnostics

    Just to give you some sense of what a *warrior* this cat has been... As I said, Jonas was brought to my vet hospital after a young woman found him sitting in the middle of the street at night, in the pouring rain. He was grotesquely underweight, almost comatose, and both eyes were so infected...

    15 year old cat not responding to chemo- when to stop diagnostics

    Just a follow up. I had a long conversation with Jonas' primary vet. She's treated him since he was a kitten and I actually used to work with her as a veterinary technician. Her opinion is that anything found on an MRI is not likely to have a good prognosis at this point. Which oddly does...

    15 year old cat not responding to chemo- when to stop diagnostics

    I'm going to try to keep this short, but Jonas has a long, complex medical history. Seriously, he's filled three files at the vet's office (and that's just his primary vet.) Jonas came to me as a half-dead blind feral kitten. No one expected him to make it through the day (the actual plan...
