    New food based treatment for feline hyperthyroidism

    My vet was excited about this new option for hyperthyroid kitties, and she told me about since we lost 2 of our elderly girls to it. It's made by Hill's, and apparently is quite promising from what she said. I know I'm not here much anymore (life has gotten so busy! and our other 2 girls are...

    We lost Bird

    Our 16 year old calico, Tweety "Bird", had to be put down Monday. We don't know what happened, as all her blood work and her x-ray came back fine- it was like something went wrong in her brain. She couldn't keep her body temp regulated, nor her hydration, despite fluids. Bird was my one cat who...

    Hi! I am on a seemingly perpetual search for a dry, fish (any and everything fish) free, UTI friendly cat food. It's starting to look like price doesn't matter either *sigh*.

    Bye bye, Meggie Moo

    I was just going to let you all know that I had Meggie pts today. She had abdominal cancer, and really, really went downhill this weekend. She was a month shy of 13 years old. I think I'll end this here before I start crying in front of my child. Rest in Peace, my Pretty Kitty (her favorite...

    Kitty walk closet sleeper royale- for your closet or for traveling

    I saw this on our local news (a visit from the Bargainomics Lady, lol) and thought that it was kinda neat, especially if you travel with your cat since it collapses flat for travel. It's on clearance (no, I have no personal interest in Hsn, first time I've been to their site, lol!) for about $18...

    Need a no fish dry cat food- Sharky?

    Since it seems that the pet foods have changed a bit since I last asked, I figured I would just ask this question again . I tried the "only fish oil" dry cat foods and it was a no go (URI, anyone? bah), it's gonna have to be a "no fish at all" food. I am down to 1 1/2 bags of the old formula...

    Meggie has cancer....

    She's lost another pound, and I took her back to the vet today to see if it was her thyroid getting worse or her abdominal tumor had grown. Apparently, both. The vet said that as long as she is eating well (and we will manage her high thyroid so that she stays a bit hungrier than would be...

    My cat called me Mom????

    Lol! Seriously though- I was on the phone with my sister, and my 4 year old daughter was in her room (supposedly napping) when I, in the kitchen (other end of the house) hear "MOM!" but then I am also hearing/suddenly looking at Bird yowling, mrrting and generally hollering at me on the floor on...

    Vet today...*Sigh* Not particularly good news...

    I'm not exactly sure where to put this, so I'll start here (and see where it ends up I guess... ). I took 3 out of 4 cats to the vet today (Smoochie was conveniently missing all morning, and I couldn't find her anywhere ), and got some fairly bad news. All my cats are seniors, and Bird is the...

    Background: I have a cat (Bird, 14 years old) who has been exhibiting bladder infection problems, but no infection (clean cultures), no cancer, only blood, has shown up in all her tests and the vet said that her bladder wall felt a bit thickened. The vet gave me a med-Pentosan Polysulfate 15...

    Meggie is missing...

    I don't know what she is up to, but she has been on a "hunt it down at all costs" tangent, which I thought was over when she finally found the mouse in the basement (ick), but she stayed out all night 3 nights ago (all our cats come in at night, at least, but usually in and out all day), I saw...
