From the looks of last years vaccination record, Yuri the siamese had a rabies & distemper shot & then at a later appointment - leukemia.... this year I'm wondering if we can do all three in one appointment. However, Yuri was pretty sensitive to the vaccines last year - they made her very...

We have to leave town for a funeral, and are trying to figure out the best situation for our cats. Yuri is 1 year and Merida is 7 months. we left them at adifferent home last time, and they didnt come out from under the bed most of the days we were gone. We are thinking about leaving them home...

We have a front living room in this new house that allows for a ton of light if the front door is open. This won't work for the indoor cats, however. currently, the door has a magnetic screen, mostly for bugs and we have just installed a fixture/gate that is four wire shelves in an attempt to...

Kitten's got a lump after spay surgery. I've already emailed photos to the vet and am waiting for a response there, but aminterested in hearing from ya'll -- is this looking okay? / is it a normal or abnormal reaction to spay?? Lump is hard to touch, kitten does not mind it being touched or...

... we think the vet had some trouble with the IV and shaved both front legs instead of just one. That, coupled with Merida's perfect extra toes and the post-spay surgery suit is truly a one of a kind look. Perhaps not one to be revisited any time in the future, but surely one-of-kind! :p

We found a new place! Move-in begins soon. There is an old (very old) wood stove in the fireplace which has places for cats to climb into above and below (and potentially on the sides?). Any ideas for cat-proofing around the wood stove? Materials to withstand the stove heat ideal, but there...

We have to go out of town briefly in May, and our two cats (11 mo and 5.5 mo) are going to stay at a house with two male 10 year old siamese cats. Our 11 mo old blue point stayed at this house with them for a month before when she was around 6 mo and loved the older cats - she really bonded with...

Have a siamese who has got weird poops. She's almost 11 months old, and we switched the litter to pine pellets in February and started noticing just how weird -- poops had previously been in clay litter and we wouldn't really notice any oddity other than her occasional stepping in them, which we...

Our four month old Merida is super sneezy. I accidentally touched her on the nose one morning and it prompted like 5 sneezes in a row. she sneezes 2-3x a day. Sometimes single sneezes, sometimes many in a row. Nothing else appears to be a concern for her - no discharge from eyes/nose, still a...

We have to move. :( We found a possible place to move, and the landlord is open to cats IF we can provide her with studies and information on ways to remove cat dander, specifically from carpets. Basically just proof that it is possible, that once she lets cats into the property it can be...

Friday around 5 am, one of two cats threw up -- all I saw was foam on the carpet as aftermath, not sure if it was just foam or if any food along with it was eaten? - around 8 am that same Fri, 4 mo old kitten (Meri) had a loose bm. - then around 2:30 pm she had a second loose bm - this time it...

We've transitioned the 10 month old cat to 3 feedings a day of wet food (she was previously free-fed dry with one can of wet a day split into two feedings), and simultaneously she's stopped drinking water. (We have 3 water dishes around the house and she never had a problem with drinking from...

As my blue point siamese gets older, I'm noticing some reddish fur right by where her tail begins. I'm curious about this, anybody have explanations for why this would be? photos of reddish fur (it was hard to get a good photo of this) and her coloring for reference

9 month old kitten is a pretty regular pooper (1x daily). All her kittenhood she free fed dry, and had 1/2 wet in the am and pm. She's put on some weight, so we have started feeding all wet. It's been about two weeks of her being off dry food. It's been a pate for 1-2 meals, and minced for 1...

I've honestly been wanting to post on this for a while, but have been dreading it because food options for cats seem like such a vast topic. We've been feeding the cats Life's Abundance dry & wet. For a couple of months we used the grain-free dry, but are just switching back to their regular...

So, in recent times (maybe the last 2-3 months?) our 8 month old poops in the litter box, but almost always gets the poop on the inside wall of the box... it's getting pretty bad as we switched to pine pellets and had to downsize to a smaller box.. it occurred in an extra large litter box too...

Alright, well we are past the super excited 8 month old (Yuri) and scared 2.5/almost 3 mo old kitten (Merida) stage. Yuri and Merida play together well with some supervision, and Merida has been observed seeking out Yuri... and her tail. The learning curve now is around Merida "tolerating"...

Oh hi! I've been jumping around this site, getting our brand new kitten introduced to the house and figuring out all things cat. Everyone knows so much - I'm so glad to have found this site! Here are our two babies: Yuri - 8 month old purebred bluepoint siamese (That's Yuri's "play with me"...

I can't figure out how to get rid of two notifications that are always showing in my notifications bar - they say the same thing -- "a post in (X thread) was moved to (new thread name)" and no matter how much I view the notifications or check in my settings, I seem unable to mark those...

New kitten from a litter that half looked like blue point siamese (born white, color points appeared, all had blue eyes) and half had solid blue coats (varying eye colors from light blueish to yellow). The mom is solid blue with light yellow eyes, esp compared to the less yellow of her kittens...
