    Keep my cat happy after being spayed?

    Things are better, I took the cone off today and am going to ask the vet if they can do a quick trim when they look at her stitches tomorrow :) she is much happier without her cone on :)

    should I worry about spay incisions? Pics!

    Think so? I am so scared of her infecting herself by licking her incision after licking her bum or something. I figure it's just part of being a new owner and reading the horror stories online haha. Thank you, I feel a little less anxious now :)

    should I worry about spay incisions? Pics!

    Thank you! So i took off her cone this morning and she licked around for a while, a little nibble here and there but I havent seen her nibble any more for a while. I took a new picture after. Still look okay? I am a first time pet owner so I can be quite paranoid about her health, just feeling...

    should I worry about spay incisions? Pics!

    Hi everyone, My cat recently got spayed and I've never taken care of a cat after surgery. I am not sure her spay is healing correctly or if it looks infected. I am waiting on a call back from my vet to discuss but I can't stop thinking about it and would like to hear any thoughts on her...

    Keep my cat happy after being spayed?

    Hello everyone! My kitten Suki got spayed about five days ago. She is healing up okay, but unfortunately she is a victim to the dreadful cone :( I spoke with my vet about options for her, and we decided she needed to wear the cone for a week at the very least, as she is an excessive groomer and...

    tips and tricks for liquid meds?

    Hello all! My feral kitten is refusing liquid medicine for giardia- I mean spitting it out if I manage to squirt it in her mouth. I've tried hiding it in treats, putting it on wet food and having her take it from my hand, even tried putting a little on her paw so she would lick it off, but she...

    Nervous about a trip to the Vet

    I took her to a petguard as soon as I got her, and they only weighed her and looked at her, but didn't look in her mouth. I got her from an old coworker, who at first just said that his cat had kittens and he didn't want them. Only after I brought her home did he admit she was feral, the only...

    A friend for my shy feral kitten?

    Yes quite the surprise indeed! I am optimistic about the introduction (she ate while his pin was in the doorway, watching him closely-but she still ate which she wouldn't do in his presence the day prior), but yes Suki has an appointment in early november to get spayed! Pabu will be getting...

    A friend for my shy feral kitten?

    well here's the thing- I feed her four times a day and she wolfs down each meal! I was even beginning to think I needed to cut portions a little bit, when she lays down she appears a bit chunky. But when the vet told me how old she was, I asked about her weight, because 3.5 pounds at 6 months...

    A friend for my shy feral kitten?

    So i took Suki to the vet yesterday for a wellness check and first round of vaccinations, so after I just let her chill out all night. But we learned something very interesting about Suki at the vet yesterday... She is actually about 6 months old! She is just TINY for her age (a whopping 3.5...

    Nervous about a trip to the Vet

    An update: Suki finally got into the vet yesterday and wow did she surprise us. The vet told us based on her teeth, Suki is actually about six months old! She has all but one adult teeth. The first vet I took her to told us she looked to be about 8 weeks when we got her mid august, she only...

    A friend for my shy feral kitten?

    Thank you! I do take a lot of pride in having some VERY handsome babies! Yes we will continue with a slow introduction I think. With Suki being so weary, I never want to cause her a great deal of stress. Seeing her so just makes me cry for her! I do think in time they will bond with them being...

    A friend for my shy feral kitten?

    Thank you for these sources! I guess I am just so worried for Suki, I never want to stress her out. She is really starting to come around with me, even lets me pet a couple strokes now. I guess the timing will never be perfect but I'm sure they will end up bonding in time.

    A friend for my shy feral kitten?

    Okay apologies for poor quality pictures of Suki (she's the black and white kitten), I had to take screenshots from videos of her playing because she doesn't like to sit still for pictures haha! I would say she is at least double Pabu's size, though she was smaller than him when we got her! You...

    A friend for my shy feral kitten?

    Alright here's the current update: I have been slowly introducing the two kittens through scent swapping and eating on either sides of the bedroom door. The last two nights I have slid a pin with Pabu in it into the doorway, but not fully in the room. The first time I did this, Suki investigated...

    adopting a playmate for shy kitten?

    Suki is 13 weeks, Pabu is 8 weeks. Last night I had his pin in the room to feed them together and she came out to smell his pin, then ran to her bed and just stayed there and watched him. I guess I know kitten introductions are usually pretty easy but I feel like Suki is pretty fearful, it may...
