My vet wants Lexi to EAT at this point, and she's been doing well on the renal food, but she's starting to get bored (and I'm rotating between 5 versions - all 3 Royal Canin, and the 2 Hill's Stews. I asked him if we should consider phosphorus binder if I get some other brands that are not...

Hi folks - I introduced Lexi as a kitten in 2008 and here we are almost 15 years later and she has been diagnosed with CKD. This isn't my first "rodeo" with a CKD kitty - but it's been 8 years, so I'm re-learning what we face ahead of us. It was a quick decline for my other CKD kitty, but Lexi...

I first joined here when Sammy was added to my household and then a week later, Ms. Lexi. Well, Lexi's almost all grown up and Sammy loves his little sister. My parents had to sadly put their girl down the Monday before Thanksgiving, she had pancreatic cancer and had fluids building up in...

Poor Diamond.....an old girl can't get any peace from Lexi - even when she's eating. Diamond is submissive and gentle with the kitties, so I had no concerns about Lexi being up there like this - Diamond was very worried Lexi was going to get some of her food, and she just ate as quickly as she...

I was answering it, hit reply and got an error. Now it's not showing? Did I break it?

So, you may not know this, but I keep and breed ball pythons. This morning I had some enclosures to clean, so I pre-folded the papers that I needed to get the job done and had them in a nice neat stack. Papers make wonderful kitty toys, apparently! And of course, photo ops only present...

So, this morning, I bring in two really nice dumbo male rats into work (about five weeks old) to give to a co-worker that wanted them as pets for his children (they have hamsters but they bite their kids all the time - I told him rats are MUCH better pets). Dummy me has to be Super Woman and...

Just something I was thinking about last evening, pardon me while I ramble! I didn't spend a lot of time on introductions between Sammy and Diamond (our dog) or Lexi and Sammy. Sammy was a foster kitty before I got him, raised around other kitties and the Lexi was, well - a baby, who wasn't...

I am so confused! Can someone (maybe Sharky) recommend what exactly you want to look for when evaluating foods both dry and wet? I really want to get Sammy and Lexi on Innova Evo for dry (this would be left out during the day for nibbling - as I plan to go to a mostly wet diet) when I can find...

New kid here! I see a lot of people have this in their signature. What does this mean exactly? And it's usually with a butterfly or some other icon. Sorry for my newbie question, it's been driving me crazy trying to figure it out!

I don't know why I subject myself to Craigslist, but I can't seem to stop myself from looking, even though we're happy (and full) with our two kitties and one dog (and a menagerie of other pocket pets and herps). I just went through ONE day of postings for the metro Atlanta area and I see all...

I haven't quite figured out where you post pictures when they're updates and not introductions - so I'll stick this here. Wow kittens are HARD to photograph! Many of my pictures are "there goes the baby!!!" LOL But here are a few - who needs cat toys when you've got a BOX?? And all...

Our newest addition to our family is approximately 10 weeks old (born on April 1st) and when she's tired or hungry while we're holding her, she begins to suckle on our hand. We immediately take her to her food (methinks she's training us, her faithful servants to wait on her) and 90% of the...

So, some of you helped me yesterday deciding if I should bring this kitten home, since my SO was quite reluctant to do so (in fact, gave me a resounding NO initially). After a long talk, he agreed to let her come home, and as I'm typing this - daddy's girl is in a blanket nest that he made in...

May 5th I had to have my 18 year old long haired calico put to sleep. This past Saturday I adopted a wonderful young adult male kitty named Sammy (see him in my intro post). Sunday, I go by my local petstore and they have....a long haired calico kitten. I fell head over heels in love with her...

Hi folks, glad to have found you! I actually administer another forum (not cat related) and spend most of my time there, but.....the addition of a new family member this past weekend has sent me outside my familiar zone and I found YOU guys! A little about me. I'm a buyer for a multi-million...
