Hi - I am super conflicted. My husband got a job where he is required to be in a city about 45 minutes away. We are having a problem finding a house, but should hopefully have something within the next three months. He needs to be there during the week and I WFH. We have a short term rental. I...

My husband is an ex pro athlete and the doctor has suggested he get a zero gravity massage chair. We don’t mind spending a couple thousand dollars plus, my concern is has anybody been able to keep the cats out from under it? I would spend even more money on a chair I knew was safe for...
I just noticed that my boy has short whiskers on one side. I know he’s been under stress the last week because his brother was in the hospital - luckily he’s doing really well and it looks like he will make a full recovery. This is just so odd to me has anybody seen this I’ve search the...
Hi -
We had a very scary experience with our three-year-old boy. I hadn’t felt world so I lay down for a couple hours and when I woke up I asked my husband where’s Jax. We found him, sniffing, sniffing, walking funny, breathing shallow with his head hunched over but constantly moving. First...
We have an 18 month old Maine Coon. He grinds his teeth every couple weeks. We took him to the doctor and had a full work up done including blood and urine and they said he’s completely healthy. He eats fine, he plays, and he can grind one minute and then eat dental crunchies the next. The...
My 18 month old boy has an eye that squint when he is tired or chilling. If I call his name he looks at me with both eyes open. He is completely happy, healthy and playful besides this. I asked our vet and they said they were not concerned as it feels good in the socket but I still worry...
I have two boys about 17 months. They love each other, play, cuddle and the big one watches out for the little one, but almost too much. Jax my smaller one always wants the attn and when Audie is getting attn Jax will lay on top of him to get attn. Audie always just moves. They are both...
Goodbye sweet Darci. You were a fighter, but we had to take your pain away at 3:00 today. We loved you very much. Thank you, for seeing me through rotten dates until I met and married the man who became your cat daddy. Thank you for accepting the kittens we rescued with dignity. Thank you...

My cat had enucleation due to a optic sarcoma. At 5 months she had tests and they said they no metastisation. Today I noticed a big lump on the side of her face. She seems normal othet than that. I have an appt with the vet tomorrow but my question is, if at 5 months the vet said no...
My vet thinks my 11 month old kitten has IBD. I am not convinced it started with loose stool when we went out of town and the stool did not clear up quickly. He threw up hairballs twice in two months. He has not lost any weight as a matter of fact he gained some, he is playful as a kitten...
My girl who just thirteen had her eye removed due to a tumor. The onocologist said it had clean margins but it was a sarcoma and very rare so we should do chemo. The day before her I removal she had had full X-rays and sonograms and they saw no evidence of it spreading. My vet, who I like...
Hi -
I have not seen much on these boards about cats with eye tumors I guess because they are so rare. I noticed a cloudy eye on my girl abut 7 months ago and kept taking her to the doctor.
They kept having me give antibiotics and said she was fine. I would bring her back and say she...
My 12 year old girl is having a rough time. For three months the vet told us she has a scratch on her eye and it was cleared up. I did not believe it so I took her to a ophthalmologist. She has uveitis and was just tested positive for toxoplasmosis. I have her quarantined in the spare...
hi -
I am thinking about getting pet insurance for our new kittens. The one challenge is the Vet said one may have feline herpes. He has not been tested and has only been seen once when he was stuffy. Would this still count as a pre existing condition? Does anyone know.
Thanks,
Erin
We got the cutest little rescues from Kuwait. One has feline herpes but is doing well after a course of medicine but he doesn’t meow. He thinks he meows he opens his mouth and looks right at us and makes a meow action. He purrs a lot really loud. When he and his brother wrestle he makes...
Does anyone know how long it take for prednisolone to kick in?
A little history:
My cat started coughing about a month ago. I took him to the ER and they said all signs were good and if he kept it up take him to a vet. He stopped but started again a couple days later. The vet did full...
Just picked up medicine for my boys cough at the doctor. I went online to see if he should take it with food and found out it was $.12 a pill. I paid $55 for 12 pills from my vets office. I had already paid 500.00 is X-rays and blood work to determine how serious his cough was. I love him...
We moved yesterday and my cat is screaming all night. It is driving me crazy. Am I cruel to put them in a room with food, water and litter so I can get some sleep? I am especially worried as my husband is a cop and while sleep deprivation sucks for me it is life threatening to him.
Thanks...
My parents took in a loved rehomed cat a month ago. They can't find her she eats and uses litter box at night but only a can of food a day. She was social before but not at all now. She came out once but has gone back into hiding it has been a month. Is this going to change? My parents are...
Hi -
I know this has been posted before but i thought it i posted it would alleviate my parents concerns. I got them a beautiful 2 1/2 year old female cat. She was from a loving family who had to take in an in-law in who was allergic to her. They said she was timid with their grandchildren...
