What a weekend I am having, I need advice! Saturday (my cats only get sick on the weekend) my youngest cat, Mini, 1.5 yrs. old, was vomiting all day. He couldn't even keep water down, so I took him to the medvet, which is our Emergency Vet here. Now poor Mini hasn't been to the vet since he had...

I have a really interesting situation here, and would like some input from the experts here at The Cat Site. Years ago I used to allow my cats outside, but we live in an urban neighborhood and I decided to keep my cats inside for their safety. We had one cat, Charlie, who was the last of my...

I have done lots of shlter rescues, but i got the fosters from them. There is a ginger cat coming round my house for the last few months. With all my experience I cant even tell if it is male or female. Today it was waiting for me when i came home, and it looked visibly bigger around the midde...

I swear I am the worst foster mom on earth, I fall in love with everyone! I have been fostering a litter just as a favor to my sister-in-law, she took in a darling little black stray who had 4 kittens. When the kittens were old enough I got them into the shelter on the condition that I foster...

Not sure where this goes, but I currently have this beautiful foster litter and I want to keep them all,LOL. here they are: My friend found their mom and kept her, and she turned out to be pregnant. Of course they called me. I have done tons of fostering, but I think I am going soft, I am...

Last year I posted quite a bit when I found a little kitten in my neighbors woodpile. He was so lost and terrified and hungry and LITTLE. I just wanted to show what he looks like now. Although he is so big I can barely hold him, he is still my baby kitten, and sometimes still crawls under my...

I am so happy and little Princess Gina feels a lot better. The vet put her on Royal Canin Urinary SO, she loves the dry and the wet both. I bought her a running water fountain, and give her other wet food with gravy as a treat sometimes. I can tell the crystals are just about gone because I can...

back to the vet cause poor Gina has so many of those crystals. She also isnt drinking enough water, so she got fluids and now we are on Urinary SO food by Royal Canin, which she seems to love and is drinking more. My vet is way homeopathic so he also gave her some drops to take. Those crystals...

My 6 year old Gina occasionally poops on the living room carpet. Her stool when this happens is very hard and has a hairball in it. She has her own room, yes, really, and her own box and she usually uses it faithfully. She does have some struvite crystals but that doesnt affect poop, does it...

This thread is about a kitten but look how big he has gotten! Thats him with Doodle, our 2 year old, who is the only one who really tolerates him, but not when he get too rough with her. I gave him a stuffed toy, and he likes it, but not as much as he likes our other cats. His...

try to mate with spayed females before they get neutered? Kitto is going to get neutered in 2 weeks. I normally do pediatric s/n but with his initial test results for FIV being positive, we wanted to retest him, and he needed to get healthy, he was so pitiful when I found him. Now he tests...

Today our cat Little Blanca was sleeping on the computer as usual and awoke with a start and flew thru the air, literally, to the floor. She looked really anxious for a minute or 2. I never saw anything like it. Have any of you? She is 13 so I hope it wasn't a health issue, but she isn't acting...

We are due to get new living room stuff and I wonder what is the best material to look for, as far as cats and their scratching. Does anyone have leather, how is that?I have a chair I bought at a yard sale for the cats and it is the strongest fabric I have ever seen. It just doesn't rip. But I...

I think I am making headway with Princess Gina's crystal problem. We have made HUGE changes here and I don't see any crusty crystals (gross, I know) down there today. I threw out the old food (yes, threw it in the trash) and got everyone on Nutro Max. I also experimented with wet food, and got...

I have to say that I have seen results from switching away from grocery store food. I have been doing a lot of reading and the first thing I did was change to a higher quality dry food, as my cats are used to it. I switched to Nutro Max, and my 13 year old who is in good health has become much...

My little black cat Gina has had a UTI, which is gone now, and crystals, which are still in her urine. I have switched her to Nutro Max (I had a free sample of their indoor formula also and she ate it all, she loves it) also I am giving her cranberry extract, she likes that too. When we went for...

Last night Kitto and I went to the vet to plan his neuter, and he was re-tested for FIV and it was Negative. We are sooo happy. So the original weak positive was from the antibodies from his mom when he was tiny. On the down side, the vet could only find one of his little boy parts, so his...

You all would think I never had a cat before, the way I am always showing off my new kitten. But here is little Kitto, making friends with our oldest (14) and largest cat, Charlie. He's getting along with everyone pretty well, there is still growling and hissing but all in the context of...

Here is little Kitto, exhausted from playing hard. He has doubled in size and will need to get neutered very soon. Also, I bought some Nutro Max food for everyone to try, but especially for Princess Gina who is struggling with crystals. She LOVED it, do you all think it is a good food? Here...

that will meet the needs of all my cats! I am going crazy trying to feed them all what they need. One gets insane massive hairballs, one has a sensitive stomach, and now Princess Gina has struvite crystals! plus, they are all used to eating dry food whenever they want. Any suggestions would be...
