I haven't been here much the past couple of years.  In 2006 Dusty was diagnosed with CRF.  I was advised by the vet that this is generally fatal and she may live a few months or a few years.  I decided that I wasn't going to treat her with expensive and upsetting medicine, and I would allow her...

My 9 yo cat has CRF.  I've posted about her before, but it's been quite awhile.  She is very skinny, and I'm trying to get her appetite up.  The last time I saw the vet he suggested giving her viamin B complex.  He said I can just buy it at the drug store.  So I got some, but I am now concerned...

My 9 yo Dusty girl was diagnosed with CRF several years ago.  Last year we thought she was living on borrowed time.  She was about 5 lbs, had lost lots of fur, had chronic ear infections, wasn't eating much and even the vet suggested we think about putting her down.  My husband would have no...

http://www.pawsforpets.com/ My cats absolutely LOVE this, and won't eat their formerly favorite 9 Lives anymore. They are especially crazy about the chicken and liver and beef and liver flavors. It appears that this is a pretty good quality. I don't see grain among the ingredients. Cost is...

My cats seem to want a change in cat food brand (wet) about every other week, and especially my CRF kitty Dusty. They will eat 9 Lives and act like it is delicious, then the next can they sniff and walk away. I've gone through Friskies, 9 Lives and now they are crazy about Paws, and so far...

Brief background: Dusty is my 9 yo female who adopted us as a stray that hung out in our backyard. That was about 7 yrs. ago. She was quite the hunter, nailing about a bird a day year round, and doing a very nice job of supplementing her cat food supply. About 4 years ago she began losing...

My kitty Dusty is 8 1/2 years old and has CRF. She has been losing weight. She has had regular vet visits and its my decision not to continue to medicate her. I'm now looking for suggestions on what I can feed her to get her to gain a little. She is long-haired, so it's hard to see how...

I can't find general Terms of Service or rules for this forum. Specifically I want to know if it is ok to tell others about a forum devoted to current events and trials in the news. This forum is not in competition with TCS in any way, but I don't want to step on anyones toes here. This forum...

To my knowledge, Dusty has not left the backyard in weeks/months. When I went to get her inside this morning she is not there - no where in the yard. I'm worried because she isn't well and I didn't think she had the strength to climb the fence. Send good vibes please. I'm desperate.

At the risk of boring you, I must share with you how smart my Squeaky is. You might remember that we trained her to roll over on command with Temptations cat treats (which she loves!) So she has taken this concept one step further. When she wants a treat, she will run ahead of us, give 3 short...

I know that there are very good, but expensive odor elimination products on the market that work well. But if you don't have any on hand and have a problem that needs fixing NOW! then this home-made recipe may work for you. http://www.catsofaustralia.com/urinestainremoval.htm I believe I have...

About this time last year I bought a new Belkin wireless N router. At that time I had a worthless Dell laptop. I had constant dropped connections, and wasn't sure if it was the computer or the router or even the cable modem. A few months ago I upgraded my laptop to a MacBook Pro. I still had...

If so, how often? What do you use?

Tried to delete this, but could only edit. Sorry

Would you allow your minor child to get tattoos and/or body piercings?

When Dusty had an ear infection last summer, the vet gave me an ear wash to use every other day as part of her treatment. I don't think her infection has returned, but she appears to have visible ear wax. Should I use this wash? The directions are to "flush each ear once a day every 3 days...

Here it is Christmas Eve and I still haven't purchased anything for my adult 41 yr old daughter who has everything. Problem is she has a well paying job and will buy for herself what she wants and needs. Hubs and I are living on social security and are not so well off. Anyone have suggestions?

Just discovered my son's indoor only 5 yr. old kitty has worms. How did this happen? This is a 2 cat/3 human baby family. Naturally we are concerned for the triplets. He's taking infected kitty to the vet this afternoon.

Anyone have this book? My co-grandmother (maternal side) of my son't triplet baby girls gave me this book as an early Christmas gift. She knows how much I love my kitties! I love it! Filled with short stories all about cats and their owners. I highly recommend this for anyone who loves kitties!

Dusty seems to have visible ear wax in her ears. It is about the color of bourbon. It doesn't seem to be bothering her. She is not scratching. I'm wondering if I can use a Q-tip dipped in peroxide to gently clean the visible area? Right now I can't afford a vet visit, and she doesn't appear...
