Hello everyone. My sweet girl Cassie has been acting a bit strangely lately. We've witnessed her running up and down her cat trees and playing with my other cat as recently as last night, and she was rolling around on one of her trees this morning. However, I've also noticed that she's just...

Hello everyone. My most beautifulest and lovedest Cassiopeia has a bit of a chewing problem. She's chewed through my poor mom's wired earbuds at least twice, chewed through the cable for my Wii bar twice, chews on writing utensils (usually while I'm trying to use them, though she's outright...

Hello, everyone. I took my most loveliest and bestest Cassiopeia into the vet earlier today (9/18) for what I thought was a UTI. She was a bit lethargic, and was also drinking and urinating quite a bit more than usual. The urine also smelled a bit strange. They ran bloodwork and did a...

Hello everyone, I decided to upgrade my bettas' tanks from 3.5 to 5 gallons to give them more room to swim around, so I bought a couple Top Fin 5 gallon starter kits. One of them is working out really well and the noise from the filter is nothing more than a pleasant, quiet hum. The other one...

Hello, everyone. I was just wondering what everyone's opinions of Royal Canin cat food (canned and dry) are. I remember having good experiences with my last cat when he started to develop kidney disease, but I recently heard some stuff that may or may not be cause for concern. Specifically, I've...

Hello, everyone. One of my sweet girls, Cassiopeia, has been scratching herself to the point of bleeding. About 2-2.5 months ago, our vet tested her for things like mites, bacterial infection, and ringworm and determined that it's most likely an allergy. I had her on steroids for a couple of...

Hello, everyone. I have a kitten who has a tendency to eat too fast and gorge herself, which unfortunately means that she throws up from time to time. I was looking into slow feeder bowl inserts for her and was wondering if anyone had tried something like that, and if they worked well.

Hello everyone. One of my cats recently came into contact with a bit of peppermint oil-based rodent repellent. I don't think it was a lot, but it was enough that her fur smelled fairly minty. I used some cat wipes to wipe her down as best I could, and I don't smell it on anymore. However, I was...

Hello everyone. I recently took my five month old kitten to the vet and he told me that her adult upper canines are growing in alongside her baby canines. Apparently, this can resolve on it's own, but there is a chance that she could lose both the adult and baby teeth. Obviously, this is...

Hello everyone. Last year, I fostered two extremely beautiful little girls for the shelter I work with. Unfortunately, the orange tabby, Andromeda, passed away very unexpectedly during her spay leaving her sister, Cassiopeia, alone. I ended up adopting Cassie, and I have to say, she's been an...

Hello everyone, I'm fostering a little family of four: one mama and three beautiful kittens. Overall, everyone is doing very well, but one of them has started having accidents. Starting yesterday (6/4), I have found her back end covered in her own feces three times. Does anyone know why this...

Hi, everyone. I was thinking of giving my little girl some intellectual stimulation with a puzzle feeder, but most of them are plastic. Unfortunately, Cassie has a history of developing rather nasty rodent ulcers if we feed her using plastic bowls, so those are out. I'm currently borrowing one...

Hi everyone. So I was just wondering if anyone has had any experience with anything like this. I was doing a water change in our large koi tank and was finishing up when I noticed one of our guys had passed. I'm not sure exactly when it happened. He was swimming around yesterday and I didn't...

Hi, everyone, One of my bettas unfortunately passed away recently. He was older and hadn't been doing well for a while. I've been thinking of using his tank for another one, but I'd like to sterilize it just in case so the new one doesn't get sick. Does anyone have any suggestions for what I...

Hi, everyone. I noticed recently that Cassie's third eyelid in her left eye has been showing and I'm wondering what it could mean. I'm planning on possibly calling up the vet on Monday if it isn't better. I'm worried she may have hurt her eye somehow or have an infection. Has anyone seen...

I put up our Christmas tree the other day, and Cassie was FASCINATED. This is her first Christmas and everything's just so new to her. I can't wait to see how she reacts to her kitty toy advent calendar and the presents and stocking stuffers I've got for her. (And yes, the bell ornament did get...

I went to PetSmart today to pick up some things and hoped to get some Royal Canin canned kitten food for my girl (literally the only canned food she'll touch) and they were completely out. There were actually stickers up on the shelf saying that it was currently unavailable from the...

So we just had our first snowfall of the year and I thought I'd take Cassiopeia out (leashed, of course) to see what she thought. She wasn't quite sure what to think at first, but then she decided she was FASCINATED. I ended up having to bring her in because she was getting cold, but she had a...

Hi, everyone. I've been trying to come up with a name for my male half-moon for weeks and I've still got nothing. Does anyone have any ideas? I'd prefer something somewhat ethereal and mystical (my other betta's name is Oberon, for example). I've attached a couple pictures of him as well. He's a...

Hi, everyone. There's something I've been wondering about for a while now. My little girl was spayed on August 23rd and has overall healed up nicely However, a couple weeks ago, I noticed she still has a scab-like thing on her tummy. When I feel it, it feels like it goes maybe an eight of an...
