His thumbs were amazing. His dad was a polydactyl manx. His mum a brown tabby. He took her colouring, and his paws and tail. But he had a half tail. Half length, with a crook in the end of it <3 When she first brought him over, he was still on kitten milk, and I swear his mouth was bigger than...

Watson kitty. He was truly a "Watson". Best friend. Reliable. Always there. Truly Watson to Sherlock.

24 years, 6m, 6 days old. We had him from the time he turned 6 weeks of age as mum had repeatedly rejected him. Owner forced her to nurse a few times a day as well as supplemental bottle feeding. She finally had him completely weaned onto wet foods by the age of 6 weeks when we took him. He...

We must have posted around the same time :) He lost the bad tooth, isn't having pain any more, and is eating his full meals. Although he IS a bit more spoiled as he wants his dish wherever he happens to be at the time lol.

Thanks, but at his age I won't do that to him :) Especially given how stressful the trip to the vet is for him, he may not even survive that without sedation. But good to know in case something similar happens with the younger two.

Just thought I would update everyone :) Watson after losing that bad tooth is now back to normal(for the most part). He is back eating his regular food, except he now expects it to be delivered to wherever he happens to want it at the time lol! He is eating full meals again, and having very few...

Looks like there is one about 20m from me! I can't see an issue with a mild sedative being prescribed prior to visiting hopefully(hoping this doesn't happen again, but just in case) Thanks!

I appreciate this! Does this also cover Canada, or just the US? I have honestly never heard of this specialty before with cats.

Putting this here, because not sure else where to put it. As most of you are aware of, very elderly cats seldom groom themselves any longer. However they are evidently very aware of when they look good :) Gave my almost 24 year old a really good(more than normal) brushing today. D*mn but he was...

I will try that if this happens again :) And yeah, just getting him eating made me happy

Little beggar is definitely feeling better lol. He almost got away with my pizza tonight the little brat!

Okay, someone(Watson) is evidently feeling better lol. Keep in mind, I am presently taking his food to wherever he happens to be atm. Grind up a medallion of freeze dried raw chicken for him, soak in warm water, puree the lot in a magic bullet. Offer it to him. He sits up, delicately sniffs at...

Thanks :) Raw diet. Most of mine live to 19+ as a rule

Thanks everyone. I will give them a call. He won't let me even near his mouth without issue. Hoping they can prescribe bup or something else over the phone, because a 40m drive will be far too stressfull for him. He is terrified of the car, and no idea why :(

My 24 year old cat is showing potential dental pain. He is refusing anything but a warm fdr puree. He is grinding his teeth repeatedly. Brief history. He was diagnosed with a genetic issue when he was 10. His teeth tend to crack below the gum line, causing him a lot of pain. Vet said he had seen...

Oh excellent sign tonight! Oskar let her eat from his dish again!

And as for the onesie she manages to pull one leg up into it and push it through the snug neckline, then the next leg. Then simply wiggles out through the back end *insert eye roll here* She is too darned smart for her own good.

Drat! According to that article, looks like I did pretty much everything wrong :( At least I managed to get them playing with a teaser toy sitting about 6" apart tonight. Hoping that will ultimately translate to them learning to at least get along again, even if their bond never comes back like...

Okay, a bit of background first that helps this make more sense. Our 6yr old male Oskar was a "garbage can kitty". He was rescued from a dumpster after (the rescue is assuming) he was attacked by a dog as a small kitten, before someone knocked him on the head and tossed him into a dumpster to...
