I understand we have a cat who's over 20 and is doing okay, but we know any day now could be her last day. She's not suffering horribly at this time, so we've adjusted things to make things easier for her and give her love and make sure she's doing well each day fully prepared to awaken or come...

I will. Thank you. I've been trying to remind myself of that. Yes, I have a text document already with notes and concerns. Right now, I'm most concerned that he's pretty much stopped eating entirely. He'll drink the gravy or broth from me adding water to kibble, some canned tuna or some tuna...

She looks ok for her age. She wont be for long if she's not being fed an actual cat food. The things mentioned as her food arent great for cats to eat all day everyday and should only be used if they're sick and wont eat anything else. There's all kinds of foods at all price ranges. So if...

I've had to threaten to take people to court and force them to pay for anything that happened to my cat because of their inattention. I also threatened to press animal cruelty charges. They decided to pay better attention thankfully. Sometimes you have to be pretty extream to get someone to...

This may not be possible due to finances especially not for a disabled person in a wheelchair. Which is why we've been trying to suggest things that can be done from a seated position and possibly a few feet away from the door. A water gun is something else that could work, actually. I've...

Thank you. I'm sorry to hear that. I'm glad she recovered well from that. My boy isn't dragging his leg, but he's limping pretty good still, around a week later. He's put himself on bed rest, and I've helped as much as I can by putting food and water close by. The litter box is a little farther...

I've used a cage on the past for kitty time out. It did work to redirect a cat that nothing else worked on.

Yes. Though honestly he did it himself. I got him comfy and he's taken it from there cosing to stay put for the most part. Also I dont know if the vet here even has an x ray. The only good things I really have is my boy seems to have good movement in his hip so it may not be broken or...

Nope bathroom wont work as we only have one. It would also be UNSAFE due to the possibility of him falling trying to get on the sink or toilet and I am not going to eat and sleep in a bathroom to watch him. I have a cage that I can put him in while sleeping or if I need to run an errand but...

The plants could cause it I would think if the cat brushes against them or you do. If flowering plants pollen could also cause itching I would think.

So I called the vet's office. Got a bit of reasurance but nothing else. They also have no openings sooner than our already scheduled appointment. Anyway the vet said that he's not going to poop if he's not eating that much, which he's not. His food intake has dropped off since he got hurt...

Okay, that sounds similar to what I did for my boy though he refuses to eat canned food, so I did it with kibble soaked in water. I'm sorry you're having to deal with this. It's rough having a sick kitty and no answers.

His ears do look good. The itching could be as simple as dry skin or mild irritation. If you have a follow-up from his injuries coming up any time soon, perhaps mention the itchy ears then. You could also call your vet and ask about the itching to see if there's anything you could try to relive...

If your feeding dry kibble try adding some hot water and letting it sit to soften.

Venting is understood, and it's scary when a normally sweet and loving cat becomes aggressive. The best thing you can do is take her to the vet to get the pain resolved as once that happens your cat should get back to normal. Have a good discussion with your vet as well, if they leave you with...

I'm not sure what happened. But my boys hip is more swollen than it was. I'm concerned he's doing more damage and I dont have a cage large enough to do cage rest in nor can I go buy one. Hopefully no harm was done. He seems fine with me touching his hip still and he's really warm again but...

Yes, Still got the appointment. The only thing that will happen with it is me trying to move it up if he seems to get worse. Right now he's the same or slightly better. He seems to be walking a bit better. I can touch his hip with light pressure and he isn't growling at me. He does get up and...

I'm sorry I can't for certain answer your question. To me it looks like a bit of the incision has opened and a possible infection has taken hold. It's good that you'll be getting your cat in to see the vet as that doesn't look normal or really good at all. In the mean time try to keep that area...

Do you offer tap water or a bottled/filtered. My cats don't like the tap water in my city at all and won't drink it. I have to boil/filter it first or give them bottled water or well water from a family member with a well to get them to drink more than a few kitty sips. Another idea to get...

I understand. A cell phone with a voice/sound recording app on it could work if you wanted to see if it's noises related. But I also understand just leaving things be when you have no clue and exams come back as normal for your cat.
