Sunny is probably under anethesia for his neuter as I type. Or done. But anyways, how long does it take to know if neutering helped him calm down? I've had and been around countless cats in my life, including volunteering at a cat rescue center. And Sunny takes the prize for being the WILDEST...

Last year, Gizmo weighed 19 pounds. This was after a year of a diet that led her to gain a pound, from 18 to 19. It was making her wheeze when she breathed, and I could hear it from several feet away. My vet was concerned and said I MUST get the weight off her. So between limiting her dry food...

The five babies are doing great! The vet said he thought they were close to 4 weeks due to how active they are. He liked the kitten glop recipe. Everyone got a dose of worm medicine. Been almost 2 days an no worms yet...how long does it take for the worms to show up if they are present? I gave...

Any ideas on age for the kittens I rescued? They are very active. When I saw them I decided that not having formula woudln't kill them today so I softened some dry Felidae in a little bit of Cat Sip and let it set about 10 mins to soften. They are going to town on it, slurping and loving it...

My hubby is on his way to pick up 4 newborn kittens that were found in a box by a garbage can (OMG I'm just fuming there!). Need to find a good tried-and-true recipe for kitten formula for these little guys.... Ok how old do you think these kids are? Here's a couple pics of one. How old do you...

I do a mix of wet and dry food for my cats. They get Felidae for dry and go through about a cup a day between the 3 of them (one is a kitten, Felidae is all life stages). Well I was at the little pet store that I buy pet food at, and he had 14oz cans of Wysong Canine/Feline food for $1.99. It...

A few weeks ago my friend gave me a kitten. He's the cutest little yellow tiger kitten you ever saw! And he's also the craziest cat I've ever met! Unless he's sleeping, it's full speed ahead. If you walk across the floor, Sunny WILL attack you. If you pick him up, he WILL claw your arms and...

I opened a can of Merrick Turducken a few minutes ago, and it looked and smelled weird. It looked like it was full of finely shredded green peppers or green beans, but green peppers and green beans aren't in the ingredient list. I opened another can for comparison, and it didn't look like that...

I acquired two ferrets today. They came to me just like most of my other pets have, the person who had them didn't want them and wanted them gone. *sigh* I hate people who think you can just throw animals away. Anyways, hubby said I could have them until I can find them a good home, since this...

Sasha went in for her annual checkup today, and the Doc found a big hunk of tartar or something on one of her back teeth (he scraped it off with his fingernail) and under that, the tooth and gum are messed up. He said she may have just chewed on something and cut her gum somehow, and to keep an...

My husband says his face gets itchy when Sasha rubs against him, but it doesn't get itchy when Gizmo rubs on him. He said it's happened for as long as we've had her. Any idea why he'd be sensitive to Sasha but not to Gizmo? It doesn't really matter, we'd never be without our Sasha, but it's just...

Gizmo is the cat that got SO mad when I first offered wet food, went on a two day hunger strike and wouldn't even eat her dry food. I've been giving it to Sasha to get more water into her (doesn't drink much), but Gizmo usually ignores it. Sometimes she'll lick up a bit of the gravy, but wont'...

I was cleaning the litter box today, and she came in, squatted on a notebook that was on the floor, and peed. I was about to holler at her, when I saw it running out from underneath her....reddish pink colored. Crap! I called the vet and they could fit me in today, so we went. He said he could...

My vet wants me to put Gizmo on a diet of 75% canned food, 25% dry, to help her lose weight (she needs to lose at least 5 pounds). Gizmo has never eaten anything but dry food, and won't even eat people food, like chicken, steak, etc. So, I bought a bunch of different flavors of Nutro cans, split...

I'm not sure what exactly is going on with her. I had her to the vet when this first started, and he said it was a pulled muscle in her back. Gave her a shot of steriods for the inflammation, and said to keep an eye on her. It's been getting better and then worse since then. Sometimes she walks...

*sigh* I was sitting on the couch, and watched Gizmo very clumsily climb/jump the baby gate to the room where the food is, and then come back. I kinda laughed and said "Wow Gizzie, I'm gonna change your name to Grace!" Then I noticed she was limping on her right hind leg. She's bearing weight...

Wow, this is a really active forum! Seems like everyone is pretty nice too! Anyways, I'm 24, married, mother of one little girl. We have 2 kitties, Gizmo the part Siamese (lilac point) that we rescued from the horse barn at 5 weeks old, and Sasha, a smallish dilute tortie that showed up at my...
