I posted a while back about our cat, Tyran, and her fur loss. It started on her back legs. At first it was a thinning of the fur on the backs and insides of her back legs. We figured it was just stress and didn't pay it any mind. Its been a while now and we just looked her over and she has...

I might be moving soon (just need to get the security deposit together) and I have a few questions about moving the cats. Now, I've moved the cats a few times but never in with a roommate. We will be renting a house and my husband's coworker is joining us as a roommate. She already lives at the...

All of our cats are healthy, happy, playful, and eat/drink normally. The only problem is Tyran. She's 3.5 years old and has been very healthy so far. Recently (over the past few months), we've noticed some fur loss on the inside of her back legs. At first we thought it was a food allergy and...

We feed our cats Iams right now. They used to eat Nutro, but we heard some bad things about it, and switched them over to Iams. About a year ago, we tried raw with our cats as an experiment and fed them raw for 1 month. We were very pleased with the results and would like to switch them over to...

We just noticed that our 3 year old marble tabby, Tyran, is showing signs of fur loss on her back legs, from about mid foot up. My husband said he thought he noticed slight fur loss a while back but didn't give it much thought. Now you can really tell. The fur is thin and almost non-existent in...

Ideally, I would like to switch all my cats to a raw diet, but right now I'm focusing on getting my ferrets on a raw/whole prey diet. But in the mean time I want to make sure my fur kids are getting the nutrition they need. Currently, they are eating Nutro Indoor Formula Dry Kibble. They like...

We got Ramman in December as a two month old kitten. He was the cutest little thing and still is. In January he weighed around 3lbs. He has been growing like a weed ever since. He's definitely a cuddle bug and has to sleep near you at night. (his favorite spot is near your face so he can groom...

There is a cat that roams the neighborhood. He is intact and thin but very very friendly. He comes up to us all the time and hangs outside the door. A few days ago he was wearing a collar but now its gone. There is no identification and he's really thin. (starting to be able to feel individual...

Our youngest, Ramman, is weighing around 10 pounds at 6 months old, surpassing his 2-year and 2.5-year old sisters. He was such a teeny little baby when we brought him home, and now, he's still as cuddly and lovey-dovey as ever, but solid muscle and fur. We've heard he may have Maine Coon in...

I have not been here in a while, so a little update. We have three cats, Tyran, Miki, and Ramman. We also have one ferret named Twitch. The cats and the ferret have been introduced and Ramman (6 month old cat) and Twitch (ferret) are becoming friends. They chase each other and romp around. Its...

Ramman, our youngest, has had quite the playful personality. He wakes me up all the time at night wanting to play and if I don't play with him, then he lays on my face. Now we are not talking about gently laying half his body on me. We are talking actually draping his body across my entire face...

When we adopted Ramman from the SPCA, the told us he was recovering from a URI, which they said is a cat cold. He had a little bit of discharge from his eyes but other than that, he was playful and full of energy. They gave us his meds and instructed us on how to give them and we did up until...

This is Ramman, our newest addition. He is a two month old and has decided fingers are candy.

We went to the SPCA today to just look at the cats and sure enough they had a little 8 week old long haired kitty. He was the youngest they had available for adoption. We looked at some other cats but he kept meowing at us so we asked to see him. He immediatly stole our hearts and we got the...

We are currently attempting to switch our ferret over to a raw meat diet and I've read somewhere online that some people feed their cats raw as well. Would this be a good idea? We will always have meat left over from Twitch's (our ferret) meals. Like tonight. We have half a chicken thigh left...

I haven't been here in a while but I needed some input. My grandmother keeps putting boxes in my room (future holiday presents) and all of them have tape on them. I live in the basement so that is why she chooses to put the boxes in my room. There is one box in particular they have been chewing...

I figured this would be the place to ask since this is a cat site after all. Well, I have two cats, Tyran and Miki and I was thinking of getting two new tattoos, one within the year. My idea was to have a portrait done of each of my cats and have the portraits tattooed on the back of my legs. I...

I found a kitten at my mother's house. Well technically, its going back and forth between my mom's yard and the neighbors yard. I was unable to get near it, but from what I could see, it looked to be about 6-8 weeks old. Very small, but fast. I'm going to see if its still there tomorrow. Any...

I take metformin(sp), a medication normally used with type 2 diabetes. It helps control blood sugar levels. I do not have diabetes but my body doesn't break down sugars as efficiently as it should. This medication helps my body do that. Would it be dangerous if my cats ate some pills? A...

My cats are developing a whole bunch of new habits. Its really weird. Suddenly, Miki, the most timid of the two, loves to sleep in my bed when I go to sleep. She'll come get some pets and then curl up next to me to sleep. At some point last night, she was sleeping on my chest. Tyran has taken...
