I ordered it from amazon but it seems the manufacturer has a newer version: Window perch

I have this one I use for Lunar. It's only come loose twice in the 2 years we've had it. Every couple of weeks I will walk by it and press on the suction cups to make sure they are firmly attached to the window. She uses it quite a bit, especially when I remember to fill the bird feeder outside...

In addition to Caspers Human post; it may be, at least in the northern hemisphere, daylight is coming earlier. Cats are crepuscular animals. Instinctively they are most active at dawn and dusk, when their 'prey' is waking up or settling down. Our cat Lunar also likes to try to get up in our...

Having spent my 30 year career in EMS, 25 as a medic, my knowledge is based on humans. Being mammals, thankfully the way the heart works in both of our species is similar. I know that a PAC is 'premature atrial contraction' but I had to google APC. It's the same thing. I found this information...

Patience and perseverance. Cats, like people, have their own personalities. Some are introverted, like Tiger, very skittish and cautious where others are very social and friendly. I adjusted our lifestyle and expectectations around his needs and didn't try to force him into ours. Our current...

Me too !!! LOL

LOL, our last cat, Tiger, was like that for almost a year after we brought him home from the Humane Society. Even though the Humane Society didn't know anything about hm other than he was neutered, declawed, and estimated to be 3 - 5 years old, he was someone's pet and not feral. As many others...

You can add the B12 anytime before the fluids finish as long as there is enough fluid left to flush the tubing out. Pinching the line is only important if you are administering a large volume of medication to prevent if flowing up the tubing and being diluted in the fluid bag and thereby...

I would pinch the line while administering the B12, just to ensure it's all delivered. Yes, just flushing the line with the remaining fluid will flush out the line. Nothing further needed.

The 25ga needles should work. Just be careful to push straight into the stopper. It'll help keep the needle from bending, they are smaller than the ones I've used for that purpose. And as was pointed out, the rubber stoppers are tough to get through. The reason to pinch the IV line is to prevent...

Are there rubber stoppers or plastic screw on connectors at the y port? This may help. It's for nursing but the procedure is the same. Med Admin

My carrier is left in the living room all the time, without the door on it, and has one of her favorite blankets in it. She enjoys lounging and even sleeping in it. She doesn't particularly like being 'locked' in it, but she hasn't developed a fear of it.

Having spent 43 years in EMS, 30 as a career and 25 of those as a medic I can say your 'med math' is correct. Excellent job posting this. Just want to add a quick way for determining lb to kg without a calculator; take the weight in lbs, divide by half and subtract 10%. A 12lb cat weighs 5.4kg...

I guess I'm just lucky. There is a pet shop about 5 minutes from my house that trims nails for $10.00. One of the easiest decisions I've made :D

IV setups are the same for cats as humans and I've been starting IVs on people for 43 years. As long as there is some fluid in the drip chamber and the air is purged out of the tubing, you're good to go.

Don't have any advice to reduce the loss. A female cat be impregnated by different male cats in the same litter of kittens. The difference is probably different fathers.

Sorry, I misunderstood about the salami. Drinking water is good, so many cats don't drink enough. So sorry you are going through this. So many people will 'misrepresent' the facts just to get rid of their 'problem'. Hope it's nothing serious. Sending good vibes your way.

You need to feed her cat food. Human food doesn't have the nutrient that a cat NEEDS.

I will give you the same advice I've given others while doing cat introductions. Throw away your clock and calendar, cats can't read either. :lol: :lol:. People will usually run out of patience before cats will. It will take as long as it takes. I know that sounds obvious, but it's easier said...
