I'm not new to owning cats, I've owned them my whole life and have had at least 12 that I can remember and lost many to cancer and old age from ages 14 to 20. Most I had from kittenhood on but I've also taken in a few feral kittens, a couple of adult strays who were abused and even one adult...

I have 2 cats and a large dog who all get along well together. They're all pretty bonded to me. Both cats were feral street kittens. The older cat I found at 3 months old on the street in Aruba. I literally picked him up took him to the vet and flew him home to the US and he's almost 10 now...

I've had a new kitten since April. He's almost a year old so then I'll stop giving him kitten food in a few weeks and let him eat what my adult cat eats. My adult cat is allergic to everything and I only give him anything after I read the labels and see there's nothing in the food that he's...

I adopted a nine month old kitten from a rescue a few days ago. I've never had a gray cat before. He's very affectionate and sweet. But not yet a fan of laps or being picked up. He was trapped with his brother and sister on the street in early April, neutered and vaccinated and they cut the...

My beautiful Lovey died two days ago. He was sick with cancer since October but acting healthy until the past week or two so I had to have him euthanized. My other cat, Ruby, is allergic to basically everything. I've had him tested and he had tons of environmental allergies and food allergies...

In October 2018, my cat Lovey who'd just turned 14 started peeing on the bathroom rugs. Then on the futon in the living room. I took him in for a check-up and it's cancer. Managed it with chemotherapy and pain meds. He stopped peeing. I had to have a large open kitty litter and clean it daily...

This is my sixth cat to get cancer since 2015!!! I think, one died from a massive infection that they thought was indicative of cancer somewhere but I spent $8000 from five days on the hospital trying to save her from the infection before I had to euthanize her and didn't see the point of...

In my real professional life, it's my job to help people and advocate for them to get the best possible medical care. This means often I have to be polite yet firm and assertive and overcome discrimination and all kinds of adversity to help people from all kinds of backgrounds and all kinds of...

I have to take my cat to the hospital and have all kinds of tests done on him in a few hours. He went to the vet Saturday and had blood work and stomach x rays and urine tests. Today the vet called and said he needs an ultrasound. He just turned 14 last month and has been overall pretty...

My beloved cat Skye who I call Lovey since that's what my mom called him when she was still alive because he's such a Velcro cat, had laser surgery from a dermatologist yesterday to remove benign cysts on his ears. They were blue and had been gradually growing for years until they started...

Ridiculous!!! I neutered this cat at six months old, he never sprayed or acted sexually mature at all. He's seven years old. When I took him in as a starving three month old kitten literally off the streets, I had seven cats and a large dog. Now five of the cats have since died of age and...

This may sound silly or strange, but I'm left with 2 cats and a dog since my beloved Inky died in June. Both of the cats I have left I've had since they were kittens and they're used to having more cats in the house than just them. Skye just turned 13 and I got him from a shelter at 5 months...

My little cat Ruby has had allergy tests and is basically allergic to everything. I found him as a 3 month old starving kitten I'm Aruba and brought him home with me. He's 6 now. Clearly his system was not adapted to live in New England as he's allergic to pine, there's pine tress everywhere...
