I took some time off after my sweet Hobie (a 20 year old Maine Coon) had died, and I know it is still very early, but I already feel like I am getting closer to wanting to love another cat... Again, though I do not want just "any" cat. I do not seek a cute kitten, a playful young cat, or a...

My sweet Hobie passed away on November 4, 2019. I had him for nearly 6 months (it would have been 6 months on the 6th). I got him up to nearly 9 lbs, and he made it to nearly 20 years, 4 months old. :redheartpump: He weighted just 3.5 lbs when I adopted him on May 6, 2019 (he was a "vegan"...

Well, I am back for now and as of July 16, 2019 Hobie is 20 years old! YES! I honestly did not think he would make it to 20 years old. He has been diagnosed as hyperthyroid and is slight anemic. On the bright side, he has went from 3.4 lbs (day I got him), and is now 6.9 lbs! With love, hope...

Hey guys, I'm sorry I don't contribute much anymore ( I do read weekly on here! ), I've been crazy busy these past few months\year, but hopefully I'll be posting at least weekly again soon. I've had Hobie, my 19.11 year old Maine Coon, for almost 1 month now. He has gained 3 lbs and some...

Finally, I was ready to adopt again after I lost my Angel on September 5, 2017 to oral squamous cell carcinoma cancer. I still miss my baby girl so very much, but honestly my 22 months with her was priceless. :) And, she sent me Hobie, or at least I think so. Hobie is a 19 year old male Maine...

Some of you may remember my sweet Persian Mobile (Angel) who passed away from oral squamous cell carcinoma cancer on September 5, 2017. I adopted Angel on October 17, 2015 at 12 years old, she was very matted and blind. Her owners were tragically killed in a car wreck. While I only had 22...

It's been a while since I was on here. A little over 3 weeks ago, a major category 5 hurricane (Michael) came and destroyed my property, leaving me homeless. :( I have 3 cats that are 12 years old, 12 years old, and 10 years old. I leave for MA next month and they cannot go. :bawling...

As most of you know (and I have posted here when it happened), I lost my little Persian Mobile (Angel) to oral squamous cell carcinoma on September 5, 2017. I adopted Angel as a 12 year old, blind, neglected cat on October 17, 2015. Angel's original owners died in a car accident, Angel was left...

On August 31, 2014 I purchased Renato. He was a seal mitted Ragdoll cat. He had beautiful sky blue eyes, soft fur, and stunning seal points. He quickly became leash trained and I took him to the beach and many parks. On October 13, 2014 I put Renato to sleep. Renato was born with HCM (I did...

It's taken me awhile to write this, some of you may of read my thread on the health forum " My Cat is Dying of Cancer ". I lost my Angel to an uncommon but very aggressive terminal cancer which had already advanced quicker than we thought. Oral squamous cell carcinoma is what took her 5 days...

First I am sad to say that I dropped off this website after some time and now I am back in seeking some information maybe? on my cat. So this won't be a happy reintroduction. I've had Angel for almost 2 years. She is 14 years old and I adopted her October 17, 2015. Angel is a Persian cat (no...

My 13 year old (spayed) cat has been lately pissing on certain things...I've had it. She has been to the vet. We did the whole medical stuff (urinalysis, bloodwork, organ function screen, etc). It all came back normal and she is healthy. Today she pissed on my favorite pair of sneakers...

I have a near 9 month old purebred Ragdoll kitten. I bought her when she was 8 weeks old. I absolutely love this cat so much but I'm in deep financial stress now. I paid hundreds for her as a show quality Ragdoll. She has fleas from a relative's dog, she doesn't have shots UTD and is not spayed...

I would like to start up a nice food storage 'pantry' for the cats. Ideas? I use canned and kibble.

Is it true that canned pate is better than shreds, cuts, bits, etc? Someone told me pate is (usually) the lowest in carbs. True or false? I'm a fairly new canned food feeder and all of my cats seem to prefer pate.

My 13.11 month old blind in both eyes cat (Angel). Urinates OVER the litter box sides?! I don't think she is aware that her back end hangs over the box. It is gross and is starting to develop a smell (even though I clean it up immediately but some times I can not, like when I'm at work). I am...

I have 5 cats, they're all females, ages 13 years - 8 months old. They eat 4 cans a day. The cans are 5.5 ounces each. Is that too much? That is about 1/3 of a cup each I guess. They're fed twice a day (2 cans in AM and 2 at PM). The 1/3 cup guess is total food intake per cat (as in at the end...

I have 5 cats. All females. The adults are spayed but my kitten is not. They are 13 yrs, 10 yrs, 10 yrs, 8 yrs, and 7 months old. I've been using just 2 litter boxes for 2-3 years now and no problems. I use (usually) a clumping litter and scoop 2-4 times a day and change the whole boxes once a...

I know this is a cat forum, but I don't really have any where else to ask this question so here goes... I have a iPod Nano 3rd generation from (2007). It has all its original hard drive and battery. It is pushing 10 YEARS old. It no longer knows what time it is or the calendar year (thinks its...

Where is the evidence that fish is bad for cats? Well, obviously a JUST fish diet is bad, but why are fish based foods bad? I've been seeing it everywhere that people say don't feed fish, etc but they have nothing to back it up. I've been a cat owner for 12, going on 13 years now and I've never...
