    Another long or short haired kitten question!

    Hello everyone, I adopted little Mirabelle a few weeks ago, she’s about 6-7 months old now. Just wondering if she’ll be long or short haired. she was rescued with her mother (also pictured below) who is a short haired orange tabby, but apparently they think the dad was a Maine coon as one...

    Should I get my cat neutered?

    First of all, big kudos to you for taking in a stray senior kitty!:clap: I agree with the other posters that you should get him neutered asap. In addition to helping to avoid spraying, neutering can also make your cat calmer and friendlier with you as he will be less focussed on…other things...

    Cat Resistant Carpet??

    So when I moved into my house the basement floor was covered with what can only be called a cat’s dream: beige carpet with a loose pile that pulls like a thread on a sweater when they scratch it. 7 years later it now looks like s**t where the darlings have pulled up large strips of it. I do...

    After one cat dies how do I help It’s bonded mate?

    I’m so sorry for your loss :vibes:. I recently lost my 15 year old Madeline and her 5 year old brother Malachi (who had known her since he was 6 months old) stopped eating and became very withdrawn. With the help of the wonderful people here and a terrific vet, we got him eating again. When...

    Older Rescue Cat, plus a new rescue kitten (from abroad). Too early to panic?

    Great suggestions already mentioned. I didn't see that you had tried a Feliway diffuser? I've had good luck with them in the past when introducing new cats. They have a new one out (Optimum) that is supposed to help with loss of appetite due to stress. When my Malachi stopped eating...

    Cat in mourning, not eating

    Malachi is now off the mirataz and getting back to a regular eating routine. His behavior has changed since losing his sister: he’s become a serious lap cat and extremely affectionate. He’s always been friendly but Madeline was the lap girl and Malachi was more independent. Which leads me to...

    Thoughts on FIV/FeLV testing?

    After losing my beloved Madeline, I’m at the point where I’m *thinking* about the idea of adopting another kitten. My resident cat Malachi is 5 years old and has always had a feline companion and genuinely enjoys their company. I expect to adopt a female kitten as this would be the least...

    Cat in mourning, not eating

    Just wanted to give an update on Malachi. I wasn’t able to find any jars of meat baby food—I’m in Ontario and it seems all they sell now is pouches of veggies and fruits. I cooked plain chicken breast but he didn’t want it, fortunately he’s been eating canned food for several days and is also...

    Cat in mourning, not eating

    I haven’t had a chance to try that but I have been soothing Malachi, telling him he’s my darling boy over and over while petting him. He and Madeline would groom each other especially on the face and behind the ears so I have been petting him there and try to imitate the motion of a cat licking...

    Cat in mourning, not eating

    Thank you so much everyone for your condolences and suggestions, it means a lot 💕 Malachi licked a little juice from some chicken in broth overnight and I’ve got him to eat a few freeze dried kibbles. He has been sitting close to but not in the cat beds he and Madeline would sleep in...

    Cat in mourning, not eating

    Hi everyone, Yesterday we said goodbye to our beloved Madeline at age 15 (long sad story, she had kidney failure which progressed very quickly). She had a vet visit 3 days before we said goodbye, and ever since then her brother, 5 yo Malachi, has been off his food. Yesterday was a day of pure...

    Cerenia: how long to work, how long to take it for?

    Thank you all for your input. MAdeline definitely did not respond well to the Cerenia. After spending the morning hiding under the couch she spent the rest of the day hunched in her bed in apparent discomfort, and had no interest in food. I ending up giving her Mirtazapine around 6 pm. By...
