Now what YOU say is funny.

Hi. Interesting what you say, that he might be bored even with a dog. I fear that. He is not neutered because when he was 10 months he was in the hostpital with a severe infection, and any unecessary operation was out of the question in the months after he recovered. It took him another year...

More background: I arrived to the idea of a dog because my cat (1) looks unhappy - or rather bored and (2) does not do the `cat` things that would make me think is content with cat life and (3) I want to give him a good life Now details re (1): he is young and should be banging with energy...

Hi, I have a somewhat similar situation (I am exploring the idea of adding a dog). I have a black, bored persian (2.5 years old) for which I want to get a dog to own, train together and love and have fun with. Clearly the dog is more for the cat than for me. Assuming that cat and I will do all...

I just wanted to thank to all of you who offered suggestions and advice. Shelter or breeder, I realize I have to do a lot of research. I will take on the suggestion to talk with somebody from a shelter, or rather - I will not dismiss the shelter idea, before I talk with them. I have experience...

Hi, thank you for your suggestion. The cat is a persian so he is quite laid back. He is only two years and a half but he and I went through quite hard times already. It is only recently, really, that he is feeling better and is enjoying a more care free lifestyle. He is a very intelligent cat...

Hello to everybody. I have a two year and a half cat and I want to get a new dog. I wish I could save a dog from a shelter but I decided that I will get it from a breeder. Before I start looking for a breeder and a dog, I need to know what breed to look for. I want a (1) medium to large...

Wysong Archetype (www.wysong.net) will do.

Hi, I am very interested in this topic too. I have a now 2 year old cat. He was first vaccinated at the breeder. Then, there has been a mix up with the 1st booster set (we missed the boosters, or maybe not, it is very unclear from the records). When he was 10 months, vets et all thought...

I think it is very admirable that you care so much and indeed do a lot more for these kitties. I whish I could help somehow. My cat had panleukopenia as a baby and recovered after much care and much luck. A year later, I am still trying to fatten him and make him stronger. I have a question...

Yes, he`s been seen by a vet or two. He is under regular observation. He should be a 9+ pound cat, yet he is around 8-.

Hello to everybody. I am looking for suggestions on what to feed a very thin cat. He needs to put on a few pounds asap. I am considering only very good quality, canned, non-kibble foods; price irrelevant. Thank you !!

Just what denomination is your cat?

..for good suggestions, Booktiger and Urbantigers I found both websites and foods you recommended. Almo looks pretty good, I think we are going to give it a try.

Hi to all beautiful cats on the forum. I am looking to buy some VERY HIGH QUALITY WET food for my darling, with human grade ingredients, no byproducts, no preservatives. I need to buy from Europe only - what would such european brands be? Price does not matter. Also, any suggestion of an...

Hi, I feed him Wysong - when he was a little, little baby (not so long ago) I fed him dry Wysong Nurture with Pheasant and he liked it very much. It has little pieces of dried pheasant mixed with the kibble. Now he is 100% off dry food so .. totally different story. We tried the canned Wysong...

There is no othey way to tell if cats have elevated temperature than taking it with a termometer, rectally. All other "sensing" is unreliable at best. Vets use a little lube on the termometer. Also, it is a good ideea to take the temperature two-three times in a few hours, to verify the...

This has been a recent excercise for me. We had to switch from 100% dry to 100% wet and fast. His health has been the only concern. I now rotate only commercial canned foods, from of about 10-15 which he likes. In all he tried around 60. He did not like it at all at the beginning but there was...

Hi, I offered wet food (a tiny bit on my finger) at every turn he took in the house. Also, I enticed him to eat from a smal spoon. When he turned the stiff nose I offered another brand, and another and another, and another. I kept a list of the ones he remotely liked or liked a little. 50- 60...

I do have experience with panleukopenia. My kitty was in the hospital for four days, on IV, antibiotics, fluids, etc. and on antibiotics for two more weeks at home. The onset was very rapid but after a night of hourly vomiting, the next day he was already in intensive care. The recovery seem to...
