What a lot of work to become a mother to these kittens--I have heard that sometimes in the animal kingdom, some mothers abandon their cats just like some human mothers do. Never have heard why--I'm sure the reasons are many. Those kittens are sure lucky to have you around.

You should probably contact your vet to get some answers so you can help your cat feel better as soon as possible. Getting some tests done will probably be a good idea--your vet will probably be able to tell you what is causing the problem. Good luck to you both! Lynn

Keep a close eye on your cat. Is your cat licking this area a lot? Maybe the visit to the vet made your cat nervous and licking that area of the tail is a psychological reaction--this would explain a little. But if you don't see your cat working on the area, then maybe you should give your...

Hello Brie, Glad everything is looking up! Such a good thing that you had your gas checked--I have heard that cats are more sensitive to the affects of toxins so it makes sense that your cat felt the affects before you did. Hope the food helps clear up the skin. Thanks for keeping us all...

Check out the post "Kitty Acting Strangely" posted by Brie. Her cat recently received a steroid shot also and she is concerned about appetite loss as well.

I did have a similar problem with my cat last month--at least the not eating, but my cat was also gagging and throwing up. I brought him in to a good cat-only clinic and he was prescribed antibiotics and there were difficulties with the medications and actually 2 more visits including overnight...

Let us know what the vet says--hopefully everything will turn out o.k.

My thoughts are with you and your cat. I wish I was wise enough to know what to say. I hope you find the guidance to help you make a decision. I think if you love your cat--anything that you do will be the right decision.

Ask your vet if it is possible to get the medication in an injectionable form. We had to opt for this with our cat when he became ill last month. He was always difficult to pill, but when prescribed a medication called Metronidazole, he became impossible to pill. This was partially due to...

My cat is now almost better. It has been a long road to recovery for him and included 3 visits to the veterinary clinic. They believe that he may have had a bout of Pancreatitis and/or Inflammatory Bowel Disease. He is getting better now and is still on antibiotics and anti-nausea meds...

Hello, Hope you and your cat feel much better soon! Lynn

Hello Gaye and Hissy, It is 7:00 pm on Monday and the vet just called with news about my cat. She said the tests came back and his health is better than she would have expected. He is now resting in their ICU, hooked up to an IV and "not happy about being there," but otherwise doing pretty...

Gaye, Thank you for your reply. I brought him in this morning along with a page of notes that I had taken all day Sunday. I wanted to make a log of all of his actions and my observations so that I would not forget anything when the vet asked me questions. The visit resulted in the vet...

It is Sunday night and I will be bringing my cat to the vet in the morning for another emergency appt. He began to seem a bit under the weather last week--I did not think he was sick, I thought he was just a bit depressed because I had to work late all week. But early Thursday morning he woke...

I am glad to hear that everything has been fine with Lucy and her pregnancy and cannot wait to hear about the new kitten! It sounds as though you and your family are blessed.

I do hope your cat will be fine and I hope you are not afraid of what may happen if she miscarries. Biology is an amazing thing and all living things have a way of healing themselves if they can. Also, sometimes children are far more wise than it seems their years should grant them and you may...

Hopefully I will not frighten anyone unecessarily, but beware of string. If your cats are like mine, they would love to eat any length of string that they may find lying around, and this can be very dangerous. Apparently, the string could do some damage to the intestines by getting twisted on...

I do appreciate your reply! I still plan to arrange to bring both of my cats in to find out if they will need an appt. for a dental cleaning, but it is so nice to know that there are things that I can do to keep their teeth healthy so that I can prevent any future need to bring them into the the...

I have been asking many cat owners that I know how they care for their cats' teeth, and so far it seems like the most common care is simply tartar control treats. I too believed this to be sufficient care since my cats eat mostly dry food. My cats are now nearly 8 years old, and the more I...

I recently (like 2 days ago!) bought Hill' Science Diet--Senior Formula Dry food for my two 7.5 year old cats. They LOVE it! I believe it is very palatable. My cats highly recommend it.
