I am currently hosting 2 cats from my local shelter for a "slumber party". The staff member suggested that option when I told them I was having trouble deciding and moving on from my last cat. I have been to the shelter so many times and have interacted with 50+ cats at this point. I think I've...

That's what I'm hoping, that it's a coincedence. I'm going to see how it goes and maybe see an allergist if it continues.

I had one in my husband's basement office and I've moved it into the bedroom. Luckily the sound doesn't seem to bother them at all!

That is great to hear that it works so well. I will pick up some Flonase tomorrow!

I lost my last kitty back in December. During the 6 years that I had him, I never had any type of allergic reaction. He was a domestic shorthair cat, with lovely white and gray fur. Sometimes I would shove my face into her fur because he smelled so good :). After giving it much thought, I...

Something I've noticed is that many people feel guilty about how the ending was. It is so hard. It happens so quickly. My mom was there when her pug passed and she said watching it happen was horrendous and something that she struggles to have in her mind. Our cat passed yesterday and we didn't...

He had a tough beginning of the year (with the feeding tube) and then right before he passed....but we had such a great summer and fall and I am glad we had more time with him. The house feels so empty right now. He was so very special to us and I felt like I bonded to him more than any other...

It is with a heavy heart that I have to report that we lost Wilbur during the night. His recovery from the surgery had been so slow. Two steps forward, one step back. Things rapidly declined overnight. We immediately left to go be with him but he passed before we made it there to the facility...

Thank you very much. I knew something was up when he laid down in a spot he had never laid down on before. Just had that slight shift into lower energy.

I have a cat with gastric lymphoma. The chemo and steroids put his cancer into remission. He was doing a lot better after treatment and he was eating more. I've seen some cats (online posts) live for years with lymphoma (if treated). Our cat has other issues that have popped up, unfortunately...

Long time since my last post! Wilbur got his feeding tube removed on June 19th 2022. He had a great summer and fall. His energy returned, he was eating well on his own and he was enjoying himself. Felt so grateful and happy to get more good quality time with my guy! Spent a lot of time with him...

This was definitely a stressful time but it was all worth it. My husband and I did the feedings 3 times a day. It would often taken around an hour to do, because Wilbur would sometimes move around. We haven't been able to leave the house too long, lol. But anything for Wilbur! Sometimes he would...

Great news. His liver enzyme results are now completely normal!!!! As of yesterday. His liver healed!!!! We are keeping the tube in for another month (based on vet's advice) and we are decreasing the amount of tube feed he receives. He started eating more on his own as he felt better. We are...

Thank you. You are right, we have made some progress with him. He has seemed a bit more alert yesterday and today, but we try to just let him rest. Very happy he has tolerated the feedings well. We thought it would freak him out, but he usually just relaxes and doesn't notice us using the tube...

Wilbur has tolerated the tube feedings well. We feed him 3 times a day and it takes about an hour. Usually, he falls asleep during the feeding but sometimes he gets a bit squirmy. He has been eating a bit on his own but definitely not as much as he used to. We have been trying new foods to see...

Update: We brought him home today (Monday). The photo is from the vet on Sunday when we were allowed to have a visit with him. His ALT (liver) values had climbed to 1700! So the vet suggested putting in the feeding tube. He has tolerated it well so far. We just did our first feedings with him...

Also, the rest of his bloodwork they took today looked good.

Update: Today he has still been kept at the hospital. They did an aspiration of his liver and bile (I think that's what she said). They are waiting for the results. His ALT was still high today. The internal medicine vets seem to be a bit confused. He was put on 3 antibiotics at the moment and...

Edit: I guess it's ALT instead of ATL
