    Pet Insurance

    Some vets recommend it, some don't. Don't know why. My cats don't have pet insurance and sometimes I wonder if I should buy insurance for them. They are relatively healthy, but you never know. Not sure how it works and maybe that's what had stopped me from buying it.

    Fleas

    Since I haven't been in a while, I don't know if there's a post with my dilemma. Before I start, I'm glad to see that familiar names are still posting and helping others less knowledgable like me. My Matilde has a flea problem and with monthly Frontline treatments for her, Monty and Maxi, the...

    How can I know my kittens age?

    It is sad that vets are expensive in your country. I totally understand. Where I am from, vets are expensive and some of them are just bad doctors. I had an outdoors cat that got in a fight and we took him to the vet. He gave him a medicine for horses. The following week the cat was doing...

    I don't know what to do...

    Unofrtunately people some people don't understand the importance of taking care of a kitty. Andria, you did the right thing with the phone call and email. Probably, they are thinking you're making a big fuss for an "animal". It is sad to see people adding pets to the household, just to have a...

    Babies!

    Julia~ The babies are gorgeous.... This is so good. I'm not and expert in kitten care, even though I rescued Matilde when she was less than a week old (after Hurricane Katrina). There's a website www.kitten-rescue.com, where I got all the pointers on how to care for the little one. I'm sure...

    I don't know what to do...

    Whoa! Wait a minute.... I don't think this is a reconsider-your-realtionship-issue. The boyfriend, perhaps is not familiar with kitten care and thought it was ok, as it seemed to him and the family that the kitty was adapting fine away from mommy and kitties. I got my Matilde and she was...

    x mas gifts for my cats

    I created a post (somewhere else in the site) that pertains to this issue. Last year, I only had Montgomery who was 4 months old at that time. I put up a 4' artificial tree. After coming home every afternoon to find the tree in the floor, I decided to hang the tree from the ceiling upside...

    Cocoa is lethal to cats?

    It's amazing how they love what they can't eat... well at least that the case with Montgomery. He loves chocolate, wine and beer. Of course, we won't give him anything like that, but everytime we open a bottle of wine he tries to french kiss me after I take a sip. With chocolate, forget it...

    Christmas is around the corner....

    All, thanks for the great ideas. I think I'll go with the plastic balls and definitely the ribbon. Matilde, the baby is always watching Montgomery and taking notes of all the crazy things he does. Montgomery happens to be an extremely curious cat. I will start my ornament shopping and will...

    Christmas is around the corner....

    Parasites & Tapeworms - Advice

    My three cats are indoor cats. People that have lived in my apartment previous to me never had pets. I have been in this building for 5 years and I'm the only tenant allowed to have pets. There's a couple that have been in the building for 25 years and were surprised that the landlord allowed...

    Parasites & Tapeworms - Advice

    Absolutely, Hissy! I am taking the sample and Montgomery altogether, so the vet takes care of everything. Now, how contagious are the worms? And is it possible for Maximo to have them already? Should I also treat Matilde (the little one) even though she tested nehagtive a week ago?

    Parasites & Tapeworms - Advice

    Ok, I have heard about parasites and worms prevention and medications and the whole nine yards. Is it possible that an adult cat that has had all the preventive care for this condition can develop it? I noticed some white thingies that look like seeds and for what I've read in the forums they...

    my cat is due with a foul discharge,what can I do tonight?

    Hello, I have never had a pregnant cat, so I really don't know what to tell you in this case. I truly hope someone more knowledgable is online and can help me. In the meantime, good luck and hopefully this is normal.
