    Moved Senior Cat To New Home - She Hasn't Left Our Room

    Oh duh! That’s a great idea, so long as she takes to it. I didn’t even get a new box or switch out the litter because I was so worried about her going on the bed or something. I know how sensitive cats can be to litter changes. The other boxes in the house are modified because the young cat...

    Moved Senior Cat To New Home - She Hasn't Left Our Room

    Hello! I had posted about moving my senior cat (17.5 years, good health) into our new home about a month or so ago. My original plan was to move her in over Christmas break, but that didn't happen. Instead, we moved our 2.5 year old cat in (that was at my BF's house). She acclimated fine...

    Introducing Senior Cat To New Home & New Cat

    Unfortunately we don't have the means of introducing them prior to the move. We each are coming from our parents' house. What makes it more difficult is the lack of time I'd have to be at the house during the adjustments. If I move Cammie in during Christmas when I'm off, I don't know when I'd...

    Introducing Senior Cat To New Home & New Cat

    My BF and I are in the process of moving into our first home together. I have a 17 year old cat & we have a young cat (2 years) at his mom's house. My senior cat, Cammie, has been flying solo for the last 5-6 years. When she did have a cat mate, she was fine with her. But, it's been awhile, so...

    Need Help With Anxious/vocal Senior Cat (no Medical Issues)

    Thank you for the replies!! My sister uses Prozac for her husband’s evil (like, REALLY evil) cat and I was actually wondering if that would be an option. I was concerned about it effecting her personality, so I’m happy to hear that it shouldn’t! I don’t think it’s something I’ll use now (she...

    Need Help With Anxious/vocal Senior Cat (no Medical Issues)

    Hi - Back in Nov, I wrote about my senior cat becoming increasingly vocal in the last couple of years, but it was before I went to the vet. So I went to the vet and there is nothing medically wrong with her that would cause the excessive vocalizing (aside from it just being old age). My vet was...

    Vocal Senior Cat.. Please Help :(

    I had a few quiet nights with her since the post - but have also had some unbearable ones. I’m very sensitive to noise and it immediately heightens my anxiety when she starts crying non-stop. I decided to make an appt with the vet. I’m not sure if it’ll be good or bad if there’s nothing wrong...

    Vocal Senior Cat.. Please Help :(

    I actually thought about that the other day. The house is usually dark, maybe I can try to set up some lights for her

    Vocal Senior Cat.. Please Help :(

    Of course, she’s been quiet all damn night lol - but I was home with her last night and it seems that nights following nights I was home with her, she’s fairly quiet. If it’s a night after a night I came home late, she’s more vocal. It’s like she’s angry at me for leaving her alone, lol. I’ll...

    Vocal Senior Cat.. Please Help :(

    Hi all - I'm glad my "go-to" forums for all my kitty needs is still very active, even though I only seem to pop in every couple of years, lol. My senior cat (16.5 years) Cammie is a LOUD MOUTH. It's not necessarily new, but I think it's gotten a little worse in the last year or so. Nothing...

    thank you both! I have an appointment with a highly recommended vet on Thursday..wish it was sooner, but I am looking forward to seeing someone who will be more interested. The vet tech who recommended him said he helped her with her very ill cat who is now wonderful & healthy..so I am hopeful...

    took in stray kitten - having fecal accidents, possible nerve damage?

    I ended up taking in a kitten (female, maybe 8 weeks?) a week ago because I thought she was hurt. Her walk was unsteady & she looked in bad shape. I went to check on her & she came right to me, crying - I ended up scooping her up & taking her back to my BF's (still not sure if this was a good or...

    may have to put my cat down soon...

    thank you so much for the responses! even beyond the money, like I said, I just don't think she's in the best condition for surgery. And even though she's been eating more, she only gained 2oz - and now that she's throwing up some of her food, she probably lost it..so unfortunately I think her...

    may have to put my cat down soon...

    I feel like it's usually the owner wanting more time out of the cat for their own sake - and that's not even my position. This situation is so stressful and hard to deal with it, I can't stand seeing her sick - but when she's still being affectionate and loving, it makes me feel like if I'm...

    may have to put my cat down soon...

    I had started another thread about my cat's condition to get advice, but now I'm looking for advice on this awful, awful situation.. to sum it up, my cat has a large mass on her intestines. It's not 100% that it's cancer, but the vet said if a biopsy was going to be taken, then the entire mass...

    My Cat May Have Cancer? - seeking some advice!

    From what I understand, when a cat starts marking an area, it's hard to break that habit of their marking because of the smell. She always goes in the same areas/corners - even urinating right outside the box is one of her habits, so I would think it's somewhat behavioral she's had the...

    My Cat May Have Cancer? - seeking some advice!

    thanks for the reply :)  the vet estimated the surgery to be around $1000 - we didn't talk about it in detail, so I'm not sure what it included. I'd lean more towards the surgery if I knew it wasn't cancer, because if it is, I hate the thought of putting her through that, only for the cancer to...

    My Cat May Have Cancer? - seeking some advice!

    thanks so much for the response! it seems I should ask the vet about a biopsy..I'm just being careful with what procedures/tests I decide to do because I can only spend so much money :\  unfortunately, chemo isn't an option..I can't even imagine how much that costs..it's not even like I'm...

    My Cat May Have Cancer? - seeking some advice!

    my cat is a 11 year old female - recently she started urinating basically everywhere and anywhere, so I took her to a new vet to have her examined. The vet discovered a mass on what seems to be her intestine - she describes it as the size of two golf balls (don't know how I never really noticed...
