We just got two 13 week-old kittens. Unfortunately, I have a pretty bad anxiety disorder so I researched a lot about distemper before we got them. From what I have read, the distemper virus can live in temps up to 133 degrees and can live in inside environments for more than a year. I could...

My heartfelt condolences on your recent loss @Bg221. I'm not a professional and I could be wrong, but honestly those symptoms do not seem like renal failure to me. Many years ago, I had an 8-yr old Persian that suddenly came down with symptoms eerily close to what you are describing. My cat...

Thank you all for your comments. :heartshape: I talked with my vet a little while ago. She said that the kittens probably did get some protection from the second booster, but thought it would be wise to have the 3rd booster shot to make sure. She did suggest that the kittens get their...

Hi! :) We will going to pickup two Siamese kittens who are litter mates from a breeder at the end of December and then fly them back home in-cabin with us. Very excited! They had their first FVRCP vaccine at 6 1/2 weeks and a second one at 9 1/2 weeks old. They will be 13 weeks + 2 days old...

Hi! We will be getting two new kittens in late December. They will be approximately 13 1/2 weeks old at that point. We lost our two cats due to illness earlier this year within a month of each other (each had a different illness: one with heart disease and one with most likely IBD/lymphoma)...

We had a similar problem years ago when we first got two 4 1/2 month old kittens. We lived in a house that had stairs and balcony that overlooked hardwood floors 10 ft below. I had the same worry that they would accidentally slip between the railings when playing around and fall onto the...

Thank you everyone, so so much! You don't know how much you have helped me. :grouphug: I feel a little better today. It really helped me to write all my feelings down in that long opening post. I realize now that I have been pretty depressed for the last couple of months because of the...

I just had my 13 year old Siamese cat, Alfie, put to sleep earlier today. I am beyond devastated and have started to regret my decision. To be sure, he was in a bad state and that was, of course, my main motivation - to end his pain. Late last year, Alfie was diagnosed with CKD. He was only...

I wanted to thank both of you for your replies.  They have made me feel much better. :) I tried to get my kitty in to see the vet as soon as possible, but unfortunately the first I could get him in is tomorrow.  It will make me feel even better once I know his shots are back up to date.  After...

Hi, I'm new to this forum.  I did something really stupid last night.  I accidentally let my 11-yr old indoor only Siamese cat outside overnight.  It was probably around midnight when he got out and the neighbors found him on their porch sometime during the day.  I didn't notice he was missing...

Hi! I found this site a few days ago and have been lurking for a while. Everyone is so friendly and helpful . . . I thought it was time to join up and see if anyone can help me with some health issues one of our cats is having. We have 2 two-year old male traditional Siamese kitties, Alfie...
