    Is Getting A Second Cat For "Company" Really A Good Idea?

    Our female spayed cat Kenna is almost a year and a half. She's sweet and very playful, and we love her dearly. But sometimes we worry we don't give her all the attention she deserves. Especially since we go away most weekends. We've thought off and on about getting her a playmate. But here's...

    Cat Hates Cat Carrier

    Kenna is 8 months old, and generally well-tempered. We have a boat that we tend to visit on weekends, and we've increasingly tried to take her along, reasoning that she'd rather be with us than not. Especially since we'll be taking several trips this summer. Anyway, she doesn't mind the boat...

    Swollen Paw, Possibly From Bee Sting

    My cat was on on the balcony this afternoon, maybe 1-2, and went after a bumblebee. The fat ones, not a honey bee. She swatted it to the ground a few times but the bee escaped and flew off. I didn't think much of it, but now it's 8 at night and I've noticed her whole left-front leg has gotten...

    What Breed Is This?

    I never used to give it much thought, although I referred to my last feline as a Tuxedo cat. Kenna has fur resembling a synthetic rug, and she doesn't seem to shed, so it made me curious. What do you think she is?

    Should I Heed My Kitten's Pleas For More And More Foo

    Kenna was born Sep 3rd, and has been with us 2 weeks now. She bounces off the walls and attacks us in bed like a typical kitten. During that period I started out feeding her around three quarters of a can of Fancy Feast Kitten food split into two meals, along with some cat milk in the morning...

    Two Days And No Poop From Two Month Old Kitten

    Just brought our new kitten home 2 nights ago, and been feeding her a combination of Fancy Feast Kitten wet food and Whiskas Milk. But although she goes to the litter box frequently, I've yet to identify any poop. Was a time when I'd shrug this off, but I just had to put down my old cat because...

    When Did You Realize It Was Time To Put Your Cat Down?

    I've had cats most of my life, but admittedly most of my childhood cats didn't stay with us to a ripe old age. Some ran away, some had accidents, some died of disease, one just died out of the blue. I graduated and moved away years before the oldest one kicked the bucket, so I didn't witness the...

    Is There More Than One Type Of Microlax Enema?

    I posted here recently, wondering if the Miralax powder was safe for my constipated cat long term. I was encouraged by other members to go for it. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to administer that because Rascal largely stopped eating around the same time. I can't tell you how frustrating...

    Need A Long-Term Stool Softener

    My cat Rascal is 15 or 16 at this point, and has suffered from chronic constipation off and on for the last several years. I've tried all manner of things to try and keep her plumbing from locking up, and she's been to the vet for enemas several times. After a recent bout almost killed her, I...
