Hey all,
I haven't been around in a while, had a baby boy in September and he's been very time consuming :)
Anyway, my mom went for her oncologist appt about 3 weeks ago and is now 5 years breast cancer free! We are planning a big party for her, but are trying to think of fun/unique...
My male Harley knew I was pregnant before I did and he became my shadow for those 9 months. Followed me to the bathroom in the middle of the night, tried to sleep on my belly but eventually I made him give that up because it was uncomfortable. By the time I was 34 weeks he slept on my pillow...
I agree with the given theory. Cats are smart and intuitive and she may very well fear losing you. We adopted our Harley from the shelter, he was there for 4 months and our understanding is he was brought in as a stray. It's taken some time to trust us at all, but now he's what I call overly...
I hand raised 5 kittens last fall, and as their mother I had to teach them about biting. Because there were five, they did help teach each other, but as I said they definitely saw me as mom and would play very rough with me. I basically would just pinch them when they got rough with me, to...
I have one of these cats, and it's never really crossed my mind that something is wrong. Pepper has never gone without a meal, she was born right here in my home, but she loves to eat, anything and everything. We feed on a schedule here, 3x a day and she would eat everyones food if I let her...
I have one who will not let me comb him-we've tried different combs and brushes-though he's long haired and a comb is a must. We've tried bribing with treats. He doesn't even like when we comb the other cats and swats us for that too. For now he just gets sedated and shaved every few months-he...
We went through the same thing with Harley when we brought him home, he had been in the shelter for 4 months. What I finally realized was that it was apparent that Harley had spent very little time in an actual house, he had lived on the streets, so everything was scary in our house. He did...
Cats typically will pee on a bed or something of that nature to let you know, "hey, somethings wrong take me to the vet" Just because she continues to use the litter box and hasn't cried is not sufficient evidence to not have her checked.
My Jack is currently on an antibiotic for a UTI, he was...
Fever coat is the result of a kitten being exposed to a high fever while in utero (in mommas belly). I had a litter with two kittens who showed visible signs of fever coat after being born, one was much more severe than the other. He was about 16 weeks before he lost the fever coat and turned...
