My first cat Mo lived on Purina One(I didn't know better) and was healthy until he developed diabetes at 15.  We changed his diet to a low carb canned and he lived about another year.  After Mo, I decided that I would feed the best I could.  Mine eat a variety of canned food.  One of mine is a...

Hi everyone.  I haven't been here in forever.  A couple of my cats love Spot's Stew but of course leave every bit of the vegetables.  I'm not surprised that they don't eat peas and carrots, but I feel like I'm wasting money buying ingredients they don't eat even though they lick every last bit...

I can't tell you how much I've spent on canned food trying to find ones that all (or even some) of my cats will eat.  It truly is trial and error and it gets expensive. :) Speaking only for myself, Fancy Feast doesn't agree with my cats.  They like it, but it causes digestive issues in 3 of...

Although it is far safer for a cat to be indoor only, there are many who are indoor/outdoor.  Let him out to do his business!  If you don't want (or can't) get up and down often, set up a warm space for him up out on the porch away from the wind for when he needs to be outside a little longer...

Wow, I've never seen anything like that.  Poor Pandi!  I'm really interested in following the rest of her treatment.

I wasn't sure whether to put this here or in Behavior, but here goes. Our recently adopted, almost 17 year old cat George had an abscess on his head which was drained yesterday.  He was given an antibiotic and is wearing the collar.  I forgot to ask how long he needs to wear it (duh!).  The...

You are all wonderful.  Thank you for all of the information and personal anecdotes.  It helps so much to know that this is doable. We had to move George's appointment to today and it didn't go at all like I was expecting.  Yesterday when we got home from work George had an open sore on his...

Thank you all, and I apologize for being so late with that.  Life has a way of interfering!   I've spent what little free time I've had over the past few days reading everything I can and lurking at the FDMB board (thanks food lady).  We can do this.  The appointment is tomorrow and I faxed the...

We've just (2 days ago) taken in a relative's 16 year old cat.  According to them, he was diagnosed with diabetes in July but they have not treated him.  We have a vet appointment on Thursday. George is a really sweet, friendly cat.  His coat looks horrible (dull and very flaky), he's skinny...

I'm so sorry for your loss.  What a wonderful pet mom you are to have nurtured sweet Sassy for 21 years.  You were both so, incredibly lucky. When your heart heals a little, I think I'd add another cat for Joey.  I've found that cats are so much happier when they have a feline friend.  I lost...

Thank you all.  It's been a week today since Bee died and everything is just dark.  I have no tattoos, but I'm thinking about getting a tiny little bumblebee for my sweet baby.

I'm so sorry for your loss.  My sweet Bee died this morning of FIP and your tribute made me cry but also helped me.  Bee's book was thin too, but I want to think that his life was full.

We brought you and your brother home as 4 month olds in November 2011.  Your name was Tucker, but we referred to you as Nips, because you and Roland were taken away from your mama too early and you suckled yourself.  He suckled blankets.  After a few months you outgrew your suckling issue and...

What a beautiful girl she was.  My heart aches for you.  I'm so sorry. :( I will hug all of my cats just a little harder tonight, in honor of your Beeshee Marie.

You should take her to the vet anyway...care for a senior kitty is much different than that for a young cat.  Take her to see what you'll be working with. Anyway...I have 5 cats and with the exception of a couple of hours of hissing none of them have had issues integrating into the family...

I've started gathering things but DH hasn't received his W-2 yet.  DS is going to college next year and I have to fill out the FAFSA asap.  We had more withheld this year because I don't like surprises.  I'll be happy if we break even or come close to it in either direction.

Linus was a really beauty. I'm so sorry for your loss.  That was a beautiful tribute to a well loved family member. I'm coming up on the year anniversary of my sweet Jack's death, and looking back over his wonderful life really helps the grief.  So did adding new family members, not to replace...

Just keep them separated and you'll have nothing to worry about.  I adopted two kittens last month who are brothers.  They are absolutely inseparable.  One had a pretty major ear mite infestation and the other had not a single one.  My vet said that although they are very easily passed from cat...

Thanks all! I did call the vet this morning and although he still thinks the little ones will "outgrow" this, he told me to start them all back on the antibiotics.  The kittens don't care at all, but the cats are not happy with me. :)   The stinky offender from yesterday left another heinously...
