Hi, I haven't posted here in awhile, but I am in need of some advice from the wise posters here.
My cat, Penelope, has had a warm head and ears since early August. She was acting a little "off" as well - not finishing her dinner in 5 minutes (she can be piggy! lol). But she was finishing her...
I determined from reading many threads here last week that Penelope has a UTI. She was taken to the vet, it was confirmed, and she was prescribed Clavamox 125mg twice daily. Note - no urine sample was able to be obtained so diagnosis purely on symptoms.
While her UTI symptoms have improved...
Ever since we moved into our new house - Maverick has been AWFUL. Just awful. This morning he was climbing screens. I have tried saying "no" we've done a time out, what more can I do to get him to behave? He never behaved like this at our other place. I can see they both are excited for the new...

We're moving next week. How do I get my babies best prepared for the move?
I just returned from a vacation and for the past 5 weeks they have been living amidst boxes without much of a problem or concern (Penelope loves to climb them). I bought a feliway diffuser before the vacation but I...
Okay so Maverick is finnicky, I've posted that before. He requires special food and today I had to go find him so emergency wet food since his was recalled.
Well I am also going on vacation wednesday so my uncle came over to see where their food was and such and for me to go over how Maverick...
I heard that baby food - meat - would be a substitute for wet food.
Has anyone else heard this?? My mother's friend that owns cats with some digestive troubles brought this up as a possible solution for us now that there is this recall.
Due to the recall, Maverick will need a wet substitute. He likes IAMS Beef and Chicken pouches (he has a jaw problem so he needs the wet mix).
We are going on vacation in 2 days so I am worried about substituting right now and something happening while I am away ---vomiting after dinner, etc...
Aaaargggh I cannot take it anymore!
My sinuses have been bothering me for 2 weeks now. If I wake up unable to breathe, or with a leaky faucet, or with a headache under my eye one more day....*shakes fist at the outside world that causes the allergens*
Is anyone else in agony right now??
Penelope is having a rough go of it this week.
She has a cut on her tail so we were at the vets Monday about that. It's a cat scratch but is causing some sensitivity.
Now her ears are on fire - and I know that is a sign she has a fever. She's been lying around much more than usual, right next...
I'm a bit confused. Penelope has never had any problems with earmites since I got her as a stray and now she has some signs. I just put her revolution on today, will this be enough to clean it out or should I attempt to remove via the KittyEarWipes I have?
And how did she get these? She doesn't...
I captured this rare snuggly moment with my two babies last week and I wanted to share:
Penelope and Maverick are your typical brother and sister--a love / hate relationship.
But naptime is usually their snuggle time. Before this pic was taken, they were bathing each other
I'm confused. In the past month, Penelope suddenly flips out if you touch her tail. She is nearly 5 and never did this before. I just touched her tail (she is lying next to me on the couch right now) very lightly and she tried to bite my hand and yelled at me.
Do you think its bruised or...
I need some help. I have my two little babies and I love them so much. But I really want to help out another cat and adopt one. DH says no! Do you think there is any way to convince him? He is hung up on the house being overrun with cats, and seems to think he should not be out-numbered by cats...
So, Penelope hasn't done it in ages, but this morning, my little darling is meercatting yet again! She'll stand on her hind legs, looking around, listening. Just like the meercats. She did this constantly as a kitten, but I haven't seen her do it in months. Maverick has never done it.
Any...
I am not sure how far Comcast Cable spreads, but IF it is your cable provider, you may want to be aware: currently, they intend to get rid of FOX, FoxSportsNet, and FoxNews whenever the current contract with Fox expires (my source says that is within 6 months).
I encourage you to email Comcast...
Do any of you fabulous kitty parents enjoy a fine glass of wine while visiting TCS? I find more and more that I enjoy a nice glass of wine whilst perusing my favorite forums (or just unwinding from a crazy cat meowmy day like today!)
If you do, how about sharing some of the favorite kinds?
My...
Maverick is being so cute today!
He never fetched anything before, but I have been wadding up paper balls while my husband and I are working at the table, and he keeps returning them to us, taking turns who he brings it to each time!
Is that odd that he suddenly learned how to fetch??
