Hi everyone! I've been on this site awhile but have been away for a few months. Long story short, my cat Mia and I moved into our own apartment a couple months ago. I've had cats for 15 years but never had a kitten of my own, so I decided it was time. I had some talks with Mia to make sure...

Hi everyone, I've been away for a few months.  I lost my soul cat Chessy in May and then went through a really bad divorce, which was finally over this month.  My senior kitty Mia and I are in our own apartment now and doing well.  She has IBD and kidney disease.  Her last checkup at the vet...

On Monday 23 May, we put my soul cat Chessy (or Chester as my husband liked to call him) to rest at home.  He was 15 and had kidney disease, liver disease, and diabetes in the end.   I rescued Chessy in 2006, when he was 5, from a local animal shelter and had him for 10 years.  He was really...

Here's my 14 year old soul kitty Chessy. He's the best cat I've ever had and super sweet and cuddly. I love him so much. He was diagnosed with kidney disease in August and liver disease, possibly lymphoma, in January. He has been getting pepcid ac and subqs for the kidney disease and...

Has anyone ever gone to a "paint night"?  It's a new trend in the U.S. where you go to a painting class, sometimes with wine, and everyone makes their own painting.  There's one themed paint night at several places near me called "Paint Your Pet" - it's about $40, you submit a good picture of...

My 14 year old cat Chessy was diagnosed with kidney disease in August.  Ever since, he has vomited a few times a week, usually clear/white foam, which is a symptom of the kidney disease.  He also has frequent diarrhea.  I've tried canned pumpkin and slippery elm bark, and sometimes the pumpkin...

I have a problem.  I have a trip in February with my parents that was planned a long time ago, and my vet refuses to board my cats without their annual distemper vaccinations, even though they both have health problems.  Chessy, 14, has kidney disease, and Mia, 11, has IBD and is recovering from...

My 14 year old cat Chessy has had diabetes but hasn't needed insulin since March (I test his blood sugar) and was diagnosed with kidney disease in August. The past week I've noticed 3 little bumps that look like scabs on the front of his head, top of his head, and back of his neck. They don't...

Mia could really use some TCS vibes and prayers right now, I know they can work!   First, she was at the vet all day yesterday (Monday).  On Saturday I noticed she didn't eat as much as normal, and on Sunday she ate very little.  On Monday morning, she wouldn't eat anything, and when I put a...

Chessy is a Siamese mix, but I have no idea what he's mixed with.  Any ideas?  :)

We've been attempting to give our 14 year old Chessy Subq fluids twice a week since the beginning of August for his chronic kidney disease.  He hated it and would fight us every time, the whole time.  We tried just about everything - warming fluids, using a thin needle, restraining, not...

Has anyone else had to put one of their cats in a separate room at night?  I don't like it, but I can't think of any other option now.  Mia has had night crazies for years (everything is ok at the vet).  She will meow loudly in my face, bat at my head and face, chew on my hair, run around...

I'm looking for a soft carrier that is top-load...Chessy throws a fit when he has to go in a carrier, and I'm thinking it would go much better for both of us if I could find one that I could just place him into from the top.  Any suggestions?

Chessy was just diagnosed with early stage 3 renal disease about 2 weeks ago.  Since just before then, he has had diarrhea almost every day.  Our vet said that's not usually a symptom of CRD and she can't see any explanation for it (he had full bloodwork and tests done). I've been trying adding...

Hi everyone! Not sure if anyone will remember me...I haven't posted since 2008.  I've had a lot of life changes in that time: I got divorced (my ex-husband has my first cat, Emily, who preferred to be an only cat, and I still have Chessy and Mia), moved twice, re-married, new job, lived in...

My cats are still loving their nip mat and toys! Here's what I did with the food bowl you sent me (it's on the bookshelf to dry):

I saw these two articles today. Things are not looking good for cats in my area right now. http://wjz.com/pets/local_story_227171052.html This one is really terrible. I am glad he is back in prison. The poor woman who had those two cats... http://wjz.com/pets/local_story_227154850.html

I've searched the threads but still can't find an answer to my question. We just got new tiles in our bathroom, and since we keep a litter box in there, I'm wondering what the best litter to minimize tracking is? Our old tiles got a little scratched up from the cats tracking litter all over...

I was in Vegas for 4 days last week (hubby was there for work). We stayed at Harrah's right on the strip. I took about 200 pictures but here are some of the highlights! Walking to the Stratosphere (900 ft. funny building in the center)- we gave up and got on a bus! View of the Vegas...
