    Update on Boo-Boo's Case and Chickster's Fits

    HI YOU ALL!!! *big hugs* I am so sorry I've been gone for so long. So many things have been going on here!! First of all let me say that Chickster is doing very well. We stopped the prozac and have discovered that the main issue with her fits is attention. She is more active than we ever truly...

    Chickster Update (FHS)

    The other thread got so long I thought I'd just pop one up here for those keeping up. She's been doing great, but still issues with the regular pooping schedule. I've figured out a couple of her triggers, one of which is obviously her constipation/unwillingness to go poo and the other one is...

    Better food with better fiber?

    Hi guys, you know me for sure. Chickster is currently on the Purina One Sensitive Systems, and used to be on the Purina One SmartBlends Chicken and Rice. I switched her to PO-SS because of her fits, which I assumed were coming from constipation and bowel upset/anus irritation. I was wondering...

    Update on Boo's Case

    Well, I finally got the release in the mail, which I should've known wouldn't have a check in it. As insurance companies are only out for themselves, I should've known everything she said to me was a lie. Especially the "You can take our settlement and will have to find additional avenues to...

    Chickster Growling at butt

    Okay guys. Me one more time. Chickie Sue has bouts of constipation, I know that, and she will go through the growling, hissing and swatting of her own butt (she never really catches it) and runs around the house hiding sporadically and briefly in certain places. I gave her 1/4 teaspoon of...

    Cat Nip and constipation?

    Ok. I have noticed something really really odd with Chickster. She's only 2-3 years old (somewhere in there) and she's been having NO trouble with pooping lately. For awhile actually. I had forgotten all about her spray catnip I bought at Petco, (Catnip oil, water, in a spray bottle) and she...

She hasn't contacted her husband, kids, or anyone since 2 this afternoon after a dentist appiontment and...

    Update on Complaint for Booboo

    Hi guys! I just wanted to give an update on the process over the complaint I filed against my old vet and the tooth extraction that was done so poorly on Boo, and the other things that I suspect caused Boo's eventual death. I know some had asked to keep updated. So far, I've sent the original...

    Feeling seriously guilty, did I move too fast?

    Okay guys.. Boca is the unneutered outdoor male that we've been letting into the sunroom at night and when it rains for a good few weeks now. We've been rubbing him down and rubbing Chickster down, I thought I was doing everything right, but I think I pushed too fast? He does really great with...

    Interesting article on Cat Communication!

    I was getting ready to ask here about head butting and why some cats don't seem to understand what it is while others do. Boca is a licker and groomer, I believe that is how he shows his affection. If I try to head butt him (To show him he is "part of the family") he backs away and looks at me...

    Cat Chow - Confused.

    I have searched the forums and read up on some recommended "decent" foods (Mid price range). But I'm terrified to buy Cat Chow again. Boo was eating cat chow when his crystals started and ever since I've had an aversion against it, even though it might not cause any other cat crystals. What is...

    outdoor skittish cat, congestion

    Hi guys ... me again! I've got Mississippi (female spayed) and Bobbie-Jo (female spayed) outside. Strays that came up out of nowhere, never seen them before. I've also got Boca (male, not neutered) who I bring in nightly or when it gets too hot. Boca and Bobbie-Jo are fine, though Bobbie is...

    Cats grieving other cats

    Sorry if this has been posted elsewhere but it's the first time I've dealt with this, we've always been a 1 cat household since I was little, so Chickster and Boo were a special deal. Since Boo passed back on 08/02, and actually, before that, when he started really declining, Chickster noticed...

    Need some advice

    I am guessing there are very few people who have had this problem, but any input is so greatly appreciated. My mom is a fighter. I mean, she would fight with a stump just to fight with it and argue all day and night until she fell asleep, then she'd wake up, make a pot of coffee and go at it...

    A film for Boo <3

    I just thought I'd share this, as I made it back in April because I knew one day he'd be gone, I didn't think it'd be so soon, but I'm so glad I made it. I watched it again for the first time in what seemed like forever this morning and it just made me feel better. But I just wanted to share <3...

    Hyperthyroid in CRF cats -- Rare?

    I can't really explain why I'm asking, but it's for Boo who passed 08/02. I have been "notified" so to speak that Hyperthyroid in Cats with CRF is "rare". Is this true? Thanks for any help guys.

    Claws to the face, what gives?

    Ok, bear with me. Might be long. We have strays outside, who are all listed in my cat pages above. Rocky, the black and white unneutered male, has been around the longest. Before the other three came along he was very sweet and nice, but the last four or five months (Since Boo was sick, so back...

    Drooling cat?

    Hi guys. Me again. Just curious. My outside adopted stray, Boca, is apparently a drooler. My friend has a maine coon looking cat who drools when he is happy, purring and kneading, but I haven't noticed Boca do this before. He was drooling pretty good when he got petting this morning, and it was...

    Goodbye Boo

    Bear with me, I'm new to the Rainbow Bridge... Boo passed away at the vet's office around 10:15am. He has struggled with being in an outhouse sized backyard breeder's housing, he struggled with bonding with me at first, he struggled with nearly hanging himself at the neck for being so jumpy...

    Any experience with stud tail?

    Hi guys me again I may have asked this a long time ago but I have a really super bad memory. Has anyone had any experience with stud tail on a neutered male cat (My Boo) and can anyone offer any gentle ways of cleansing it off short of popping him into the tub and giving that tail a good wash...
