I haven't posted for quite some time, and I'm sorry to be back here with such bad news. One of our kitties, Fred, has oral cancer. Although he lives with my parents, I still very much consider him my cat since I was still living at home when we adopted him. I'm devastated. He's about 16 (we're...

FYI to people who feed Evangers. Looks like the owners may be in some legal trouble. Thankfully it doesn't have anything to do with their pet food, but it might not bode well for the company. Saw this link on another forum: http://www.suntimes.com/entertainmen...032410.article

Please keep a good thought for some dear friends of mine who are sending their 15 year old kitty to the bridge today. He's been going downhill for the last several weeks and it appears that he has advanced kidney failure and possible cancer, among other things. They lost their other elderly cat...

Hi! I posted a while back that we were trying to adopt a greyhound. Well, about a month ago we brought our new boy Shadow home! He is 6 years old and SO sweet! The cats are still a little unsure of him, but he doesn't bother them, and everyone seems to be co-existing without any issues. I've...

Hi there, We recently adopted a dog who is being treated monthly with Frontline Plus. So far so good, but I know there is the possibility that a flea or tick could still piggy back its way into the house. Up until this point I haven't treated the cats with any flea products since they are...

DH and I went Petco today and they were having a Meet and Greet for a local greyhound rescue group. We just bought a house a few months ago that has a fenced in back yard and we've been talking about getting a dog for a while. My husband is a dog person and has patiently been waiting for the...

Hi...not sure if this is the right place to post, but I felt the need to vent to other cat lovers. Friends of ours have two 16+ year old cats. They are indoor only and they are much loved by their owners. However, these kitties haven't been to a vet in years. One of the cats has always been...

Hi all, This is a little bit health and little bit nutrition, so I hope I'm posting in the right place. Seamus was diagnosed with his first UTI in early July. Things seemed to clear up after a couple rounds of antibiotics, but yesterday I received the results of his follow-up urinanalysis (he's...

Hello, I haven't posted in quite a while but one of my cats is acting strangely and I'm wondering if anyone has advice. We bought a new house about 2 months ago and overall both cats adjusted well and seem to be enjoying their new digs. However, yesterday morning my female started acting very...

Hi everyone, I haven't posted in a while but I am a frequent visitor to the forums! I have a bit of a dilemma. We recently adopted a sister for Seamus. Her name is Smudge and she is 5 months old. I brought her to the vet clinic that where Seamus had his wellness exam a couple of months ago...

http://www.bluebuff.com/ Here we go again. Apparently they used the same supplier as Natural Balance for one of the batches of their kitten dry food. Grrr...this is awful. I just started feeding Blue Spa dry too. What's next?

Hi all, It's been a while since I've posted. My cat Seamus is approx. 3 y/o indoor male. I have no other animals. On Friday night I noticed he seemed a little "off". He's usually in my face all the time, but instead he was sleeping a lot and keeping to himself. Anyway, on Saturday I noticed he...

Hi, I'm wondering if anyone in the New England area would be able to help out a sweet senior kitty in need. I keep tabs on the shelter that I adopted my boy from last year. It's a no-kill located in Rhode Island. I noticed that they've been posting one of their rescues, a 12 y/o female named...

I wasn't sure where to post this as it doesn't have to do with cats, but it's definitely an animal related SOS. The state of Connecticut is currently sanctioning the killing of wild monk parakeets by the United Illuminating company who claim that the birds' nests on utility poles are a hazard...

Seamus seems to be trying to cough up what I believe is a hairball, but instead of bringing it up, he keeps swallowing it back down. This has been going on off and on since last wknd, although not everyday. The week before he had a couple of incidents of actual vomitting, usually right after...

I've had my cat for about a month and when I got him from the shelter he had been neutered only a couple of days prior to the adoption. They estimated Seamus to be 1 to 2 years old. Anyway, when I first brought him home I noticed that he seemed to be "leaking" a clear odorless discharge from his...

I have been a lurker here for a while, but decided to join. This site has some great information. I just adopted a kitty a few weeks ago. His name is Seamus and he's a handsome orange tabby, approximately 2 yrs old. I've always had cats growing up but he's my first since I've been on my own...
