RIp Spackle. You were an amazing kitty to hold on so long.

Last week we took B.G. to the vet for her ultrasound and they found that, while there wasn't anything like cancer making her so sick, they couldn't see any cause for it. By that point, too, it had become hepatic encephalopathy which is where the toxins that built up in the liver due to it not...

Babygirl is still with us so far. I got a call back from her vet today and we scheduled an appointment for an ultrasound for tomorrow and they're going to work with us to pay it off, thank heaven. Hopefully they'll be able to find out what's really going on with her so we'll know if it's...

RIP sweet Cosmo kitty.

We were able to get some food for her to last us the week, and hopefully I'll be hearing from her vet today. Unfortunately she lost ANOTHER pound over the weekend. I don't understand how she's losing so much when we're pumping high calorie food into her and she's not that active. It starting to...

you know, i didn't even think of that. i'll give them another call and ask them.

I've been hearing for a while that raw foods are much better for them, and it only is common sense that it would be since they're carnivores. I've done a little research but would like to know what some of you on here are feeding, like if there are certain parts of certain animals your cats...

I called the vet's office but the vet that's handling her case ( big ) isn't in today and won't be til Monday. Since we're on our last can of prescription food and can't get more without her vet saying okay I guess we'll have to put her on canned kitten food to try to get some weight on her til...

Poor Sasha! and prayers for a quick recovery and uncomplicated surgery!

We had an appetite stimulant the first 2 weeks in pill form, and it was also in her fluids and it didn't do anything for her, which was weird but it couldn't hurt to try it again.. Some days she'll greet us at the bedroom door when we go in to feed her (she has to be force-fed still) and she'll...

What a nice kitty, providing for her family! We had a similar experience when we moved to Idaho. Meeker loved chasing the mice that lived under our fridge and would bring them to me live, either trying to teach me how to kill them like she would her kittens or just bringing me a present, lol...

Thanks. It's so nice to belong to a forum where other people feel the same way I do about my cats.

Her name is Babygirl, and she's a beautiful 5 year old calico. My sister got her as a kitten after she learned she was pregnant with her first child. She's such a sweetheart and loves to cuddle, on the nights we don't lock her up so Meeker can come out from hiding, she sleeps on the bed, always...

I wonder if maybe the kitten has an ear infection and is scratching at it and scratching the hair off? That will happen sometimes if they're itchy enough.. but I guess the skin would probably be irritated from their little claws.

I've never personally had experience with cats and babies as I don't have any kids, but I wouldn't worry about it too much as long as you keep an eye on them. Things do happen and personally I'd be more worried about the baby accidentally hurting the cat and getting a scratch or a bite. My cats...

About a month ago I noticed that my sisters ex-cat, now my foster, wasn't eating and was looking jaundiced so we took her into the vet. I wasn't at my house for about 3 weeks but my bf didn't take the time to really look at her and it turns out she'd lost about 3 pounds. They did a blood work up...

So glad to hear that everything turned out okay with him! He certainly sounds like the one male cat who would have that issue.

We plan on continuing to check it several times daily and watching for signs that it's affecting her negatively. While cats are very good at hiding illnesses there are things they cant' help when they're sick, like not eating, having trouble using the litterbox and so forth. While I'm hoping it...
