That looks amazing! You've done such a great job. Glad you hear you (and they) are sorta settling in. :D

That's a good call about the height. I have two cat trees but neither are super tall and one is at my parents' place because I'm studying in US right now and during breaks we go back there. That way I don't have to lug a tree each trip along with the boys. I'll have to save up (maybe xmas...

They had their yearly checkup a month ago and I paid for baseline bloodwork and urinalysis, so it's all good. =) I just worry about mental health for them.

Oh yes of course both neutered! Sorry I didn't even think of it because it just seems natural to me. I can redirect him sometimes. He doesn't really have a favourite toy per say. He likes the mice toys he recently destroyed and I have to replace, and he likes his angry bird (he liked it better...

Good luck with your move! Update us after! I feel like a lot of people can benefit from moving advice. Also if you really can, that bach flower stuff is awesome and can be added to their water at the new house too. It was a really noticeable effect on my one boy where he wasn't afraid at all...

I've moved a few times with my kitty and once with both kitties but not with 8 cats! If they've never lived somewhere new before and aren't used to moves, I'd do the towel thing for sure... grab a towel and rub it all over each of them and take that with you to the house. Rub the towel all over...

I have two little kitties. Benji: 7 years in July. I've had him since he was 4 weeks old or so and he lived in my arms since I was recently graduated from undergrad at the time and home a lot. We did everything together with him in my arms. This has resulted in a very loving, and trusting but...

What a cute cat!! I trained my cats that the only way they're "allowed" outside is with the leash on and then we go on the balcony or out the front. The problem is that didn't seem to discourage the sneaky behaviour of trying to get past me when I open the door. However, they would have done...

I'm so sorry Donutte... my heart is breaking for you and then I go hug my two. We're so lucky to have these little ones in our lives and Sara was so lucky to have you. You did so much for her. She will always be part of you and while that means you hurt... it also means you love.

The second urinanalysis was only USG. It was done at no cost. I'll give a call to ask about it. Thank you. =)

When I decided to keep Tyson I looked into pet insurance for both kitties. It was going to be $15 CDN/mo/cat (not sure if that's good or bad). Then I looked at what that would cover and I did the math... it wasn't going to cover many "what if"s and I would be overpaying each year (the annual...

Any other vet visits are going to be to the one I initially researched when I moved here near my campus with excellent reviews. I went to this one instead because I discovered it was in my small town and I like to support small towns when possible... but it's not working out. I do believe he has...

I'm so sorry to hear this.... thinking of you. It's so heartbreaking...

I really appreciate all your responses. You guys have made me go from feeling like I'm the worst ever for thinking something different from the vet, to feeling like I am indeed doing ok! I'll go in tomorrow morning to ask for vet records and let them know I'm going over my options, but that I...

There are some cats that drool then they're happy and that's completely fine and there are some cats that drool and it's a health concern. Since you just got him I would ask the shelter if they know that this is a normal behaviour for him, new drooling could be a sign of health problems. Are...

Thank you so very much for your reply. I've continued to read through that website (much to the dismay of the neurological HUMAN readings I should be doing =P) and it both relieves me and confuses me since everything was normal (so I was told) except the USG (and abumin upper limits and calcium...

Sorry I guess I should add that if there was strong evidence to suspect a specific condition of course I'd find the money for that test and follow up. So I guess I'm kinda here for advice and see if there's anything someone says that could push the evidence in a certain direction. Shouln't my...

I guess the saddest thing about this is that I thought I was doing the right thing by getting baseline work done for the boys but now I'm all conflicted about it because it's just making me feel like I don't deserve them rather than making me feel better. My partner feels I never should have...
