    Cats grieving for other cats thread

    Thank you for all the kind thoughts. 🥰 While we are still reeling and my concern is for the other cats here I’ve fried for me never to take care of myself too because it’s hard on us humans too. We went from guilt (mostly irrational based on what vet told us) to wishing we could talk our...

    Cats grieving for other cats thread

    Thank you! I will definitely do that a bit later when I can be more coherent about it 🥲 And will check the article out. Much appreciated. a friend also just recommended this remedy for both people and pets called Alaskan Essences (kind of like rescue remedy but better apparently) that I will...

    Cats grieving for other cats thread

    We sadly lost my Finn yesterday. He had a kidney blockage as it turned out and surgery was risky and wouldn’t have given him much more time at best and he was suffering. Just a few days before he seemed to be normal and happy and frisky. It hit us hard because it was unexpected; my partner and I...

    After Cat Barf-a-thon and vet visit, how long til recovery?

    PS the food we gave him - that our other cat didn’t want — was a new shipment of weruva canned chicken and pumpkin, usually fine but wondering if something else was off this time or maybe it was something else he ate but usually he’s very good about not eating random crap off the floor. Also...

    After Cat Barf-a-thon and vet visit, how long til recovery?

    Our Finn went from happy and frisky to literally a day later not keeping anything down. We have a wonderful home vet who came and checked him out, said it seemed like a pancreatitis flare up brought on by something he ate (tainted food? We’re not sure). We gave him Gabapentin for the vet as...

    Male cat doesn’t pee often

    Yay glad to hear it 😺😻 Sounds good and you are welcome. our biggest male cat would be most susceptible to UTIs fortunately LOVES to drink water. Aside from dishes of water and the CatIt fountain we also occasionally turn on the shower drip for him. 😂 Also gets wet food. But yeah for male cats...

    Male cat doesn’t pee often

    Lots of great suggestions here but can I make a couple more? Glad he's doing a little better too. Obviously it's great you're on top of it as far as monitoring this a lot and knowing male cats are susceptible to UTIs, which can be dangerous, so it's great that you are vigilant. I always...

    allergies to vaccines?

    Oh no, so sorry to hear your kitty had this reaction too, sounds even worse than my Harmony! I'm sure he will be fine eventually, but it's not fun. IMHO sometimes it's the combination of stuff they get that all together can add to the discomfort especially if they have a sensitive system. We had...

    allergies to vaccines?

    Good to know. Yeah we’re tempted to not have her get these again even tho this was the one they said she should have. She only rarely and briefly goes in our yard —under supervision—because she’s deaf and has allergies. The other two cats are indoor too other than also going in our yard under...

    allergies to vaccines?

    Thank you for asking! I should have updated here anyway. She's doing much better. :) What we think is, yes she has a vaccine allergy, and next time, if it's an absolutely necessary shot, we'd ask them to give her benadryl first. But what we also discovered is instead of making her really sleepy...

    allergies to vaccines?

    Our cat had the requisite FVRCP vaccine shot today and then came home with severe vomiting soon after. After quick consult with vet they rightly said we should bring her back to monitor her. They gave her (Harmony) Benadryl which seemed to help and she didn’t have any other symptoms (no temp...

    Grinding noise for otherwise healthy allergy prone cat

    Thanks much! Will check out the other thread. She hasn't shown a loss of appetite, still eating away. The grinding happens around eating mind you but she's still eating the normal amount. No drooling other than one purr and drool moment while on me ;) But I'm gonna try brushing wth the gel...

    Grinding noise for otherwise healthy allergy prone cat

    Thanks! Good advice. We did recently get an oral/tooth gel for all the cats which they don’t mind if I put it on a finger. So I’ll keep using that on her and see if it starts to provide relief. The vet in January did scan her teeth and gums and didn’t see anything stand out as worrisome, but can...

    Grinding noise for otherwise healthy allergy prone cat

    Hello! Our 5 year old deaf cat has food allergies that we’ve gotten under control with hypoallergenic RX food that’s worked well (she’s now on royal canin venison). Last year she started making grinding noises while eating to the point where we took her to the vet, they did a battery of tests...
