It took me a while to get the hang of them, but I love them. Putting them on Henry is pretty traumatic for everyone, though. Chloe once had a Soft Paw stuck on something (I forget what), it was pretty scary.
I pm'd you. That website is super helpful, I actually came across it earlier today. I'm going to call my vet next week and get her scheduled for an ultrasound.
thank you sharky. When I left the vet, I was kind of in denial about how serious it could be, so I'm freaking myself out. It's nice to be reminded that it's very manageable.
My vet thinks she might have polycystic kidney disease (I guess this is common in persian cats?), and wants to do an...
I know it's a little late, but I wanted to share these pics from Christmas.
Chloe loved her new toys...so much that she couldn't pick just one to play with.
The only toys that interest Matilda are ones filled with catnip.
She pretty much just licks them. That's ok, whatever makes her...
I found Mattie on petfinder.com. I went to see her in person a few days later, and adopted her on the spot (on 10/03/07). I found Chloe on petfinder too, and adopted her shortly after (on 11/10/07).
Henry was my SO's sister's cat. She adopted him as a kitten, but he ended up back in the...
I can't imagine having enough time, space, or money to care for more than 4. We have 3 now, but 2 is my limit. With a ton of cats, how do you have people over without cats crawling all over them? How do you keep the cat hair under control? The vet bills? Where do you put all of the litter boxes...
If it's a one-time thing, I'd say better to over-feed. If it happens a lot, they are going to gain weight.
Our cats are pretty good about tricking us into feeding more than normal, acting as if they haven't been fed. My SO always feeds them on weekday mornings, so it's not an issue. At night...
Petco is more expensive here too (and the store isn't as clean). Petsmart is upping its game with food selection, but that was the one thing Petco had going for it.
Wellness is pretty much always more expensive than Natural Balance, it's considered more of a premium brand overall than NB. I...
Just an update...I had the full blood panel screen done on her, and my vet said everything else looks fine. She just wants to do another check in 6 months, and said that some cats just have higher BUN levels. So yay for that!
Thanks everyone for your advice/thoughts.
My allergy doc turned to me and said "don't worry, we don't do cat-ectomies"
This whole time I was blaming our dog, and it turns out it's the 3 kitties (plus trees/grasses/etc.).
Don't worry, the cats aren't going anywhere!
I read conflicting things about whether it's the cat fur, cat...
