    Onyx has passed away...

    Thanks for all of your kind words... I was wondering...has anyone heard their cat after it died? What I mean is, I have been woken up from a sound sleep a couple times by what sounded like Onyx's meow. I know it sounds crazy, but it is true...

    Onyx has passed away...

    My baby Onyx has passed away. I was going to make an appointment with the vet to have him put to sleep on Friday. And I was struggling with the choice but realized it was selfish not to do so. I was glad he was able to pass quickly and peacefully at home with me by his side. It was very hard and...

    Max is ill

    It is great that he is feeling better. I would keep a good eye on him and make sure he eats noramlly etc. By the way, Your Max looks a lot like my Onyx...except Onyx doesn't have such a beat up face since he is an indoor kitty. Max is cute though!

    Does anyone else's cat lick plastic bags?

    Onyx will try to eat plastic...when he is eating...right now I am force feeding him back from hepatic lipodosis so he doesn't even try to eat bags now. My other two love to nap on them and play with them...with supervision of course...

    Need Immediate Help, Please.

    Salt didn't work for me... They put diatomaceous earth in food...it is perfectly safe...just as safe as them licking dirt off their coats...and a lot safer than any kind of advantage-like chemical pesticide...farmers wouldn't give it to their livestock, which they spend alot of money for if it...

    Need Immediate Help, Please.

    Also, for the flea issue. A inexpensive things that works well is diatomateous earth. You can buy a very large bag of it at the co-op/feed store and simply brush it into the carpet and rub it onto the cats coats. Make sure when you are rubbing it on the cats that you cover their mouths so they...

    Non-agressive and non-malicious biting

    My cat Oogie does that...she obviously enjoys it as she purrs all the while. She sometimes does that to Fleury as well. Some cats are just orally fixated like some people, I guess...LOL I wouldn't think it would be a problem as long as the cat isn't mean about it.

    Onyx not eating enough...

    Onyx is eating and I am proud to report that his skin inside his ears has turned back to its normal color from the slight yellow tinge it had before. I am a little concerned still because I havn'e quite gotten him up to the can and a half the vet wants him to eat a day. That seems like a lot...I...

    Onyx not eating enough...

    Okya, well I brought him to the vet again and the vet said he had the beginning stages of hepatic lipodosis and put him on a highly concentrated diet I have to give him 5 times a day...the good thing is, Onyx loves the food and eats it on his own. He also had SubQ Fluids, Penicillin in the...

    Onyx not eating enough...

    I have found a way that he will eat. I have to have him on my lap and start syringe feeding him. Then after a few squirts he will lap it up off the plate. I am still concerned about him not eating enough though because I can only feed him 3 times a day. Once before I leave for work , once after...

    Onyx not eating enough...

    I have been doing that but it stresses him out so much I feel bad. I guess I am worried about his quality of life...He fights so much against it. I will keep trying...thanks!

    Onyx not eating enough...

    My cat Onyx...who has CRF is really not eating enough. I have tried everything from the Hills from teh vet to baby food (no onions and garlic). He will lick a little of the baby food up and then shake and slowly almost lay his head down and fall asleep. He drinks cat milk w/taurine a little. I...

    Syringe feeding?

    Well, when I syringe feed Onyx I usually aim for the little gap towards the side and back of the mouth. I hope that makes sense. That way his tongue doesn't flick it and it does't get all over the place.
