    Trying To Keep Older Cat Weight Up...

    Yup, another question about getting the cat to eat more. We've had our 11-year-old indoor cat for at least 10 years. Early on, we fed wet food twice/day and kept dry food available all the time. Worked fine. A couple years ago our vet commented that she was slowly losing weight so we tried...

    Brownie Won't Poop In The Litter - At Home

    Brownie is an 11-year-old tabby we rescued 10 years ago. I started a topic several years ago about this problem, but figured it might be worth exploring again..... Originally she went int he litter just fine. For several years. Then, she apparently got mega-colon, and was treated for it...

    Skyy, This Afternoon

    It’s been 10 years, and I’ve tried, but I’ve never been able to go to the Rainbow Bridge and write about Gracie. But, I’m going to try to say a proper goodbye to Skyy. Ten years ago in June, after we lost Gracie, we went to the shelter. And spent a couple hours with the adult cats. I opened...

    Putting Weight On One Of Our Cats?

    I've read several topics in here about feeding and weight gain, but rather than putting this on a two-year-old topic I thought I'd ask about our specific situation... We have two rescue cats. Brownie is a 10 year old, 10 pound tabby who's fine and normal weight. Skyy is a very small cat who is...

    I got to photograph a Lykoi

    I generally don't put images from the cat shows I photograph in here (I figure y'all see enough cats without seeing the ones I photograph), but this little guy is so interesting I figured y'all might enjoy seeing him...... This little guy's name is Wolfsbane and he was a delight to...

    Putting claw covers/mitten on the cat

    I've been putting the soft-claws-type claw covers on Skyy for several months.  I THINK I'm doing it right, but... When she loses one of the claw covers, I use a Zen clipper to clip her uncovered claws.  She's a very small cat so I have the smallest size, which keeps me FAR AWAY from the quick. ...

    Best "soft claws"

    Our small, 8-year-old, female, indoor-only cat has claws.  She's quite good and rarely scratches anything she shouldn't.  Not perfect but pretty good.  I keep her claws trimmed and that works pretty well. I recently decided to the try soft claws covers since she does sometimes get a little...

    Cat with Earwax HATES getting drops....

    I think I may have asked this several years ago in a different forum, but it's still a bit of a problem, so... We have a small, female rescue cat (5 pounds) that's about 8 years old.  She's very healthy, except that she gets wax built up in her ears.  It gets to the point where the vet has...

    New Behavior, Cisapride, megacolon, etc.....

    I've got a thread in here from almost 2 years ago that relates the year and a half of craziness we went through with Brownie.  Eventually, the new vet decided that even though it didn't SHOW, she had megacolon.  She's been on 2.5 mg (.5 ml) of Cisapride twice a day.  She has access all the time...

    Magazines and Publications Looking for Images?

    Good afternoon.  It appears that this is the most casual of the forums here, so I'll ask in this one... I'm a show photographer in the U.S. that does candids of the cat shows and formal portraits. I've looked all over (or at least everywhere I could think of) looking for publications catering...

    Cat defecating outside the box (sometimes)

    Sorry for the length.  I'll condense as much as I can....... We have 2 female cats, approximately 6 years old, spayed.  They are normal, friendly, wonderful, happy cats....  With ONE exception.  Brownie, the larger of the two, approximately 2 years ago, started defecating outside the box.  We...

    Still battling the "defecating outside the box" problem

    I THOUGHT I'd started a thread in here last June, but I can't find it...  We've been battling this for at least 8 months now, and just don't seem to have a solution. We have two cats.  Brownie is a 9 pound, brown female rescue cat about 5 years old.  She's spayed and was declawed prior to our...

    Clumping Litter......

    I KNOW this has to be a topic that's visited regularly, but I must not be searching correctly. I don't get an error from the search, but I also don't get any results... So, feel free to point me to where I should be, 'cause I"m not finding it...... We're owned by two cats, Brownie and Skyy...

    One of the cats is defecating outside the box...

    We have two cats. Skyy (the little princess) and Brownie (the large brown cat). A while back I put an entry in here about how the little princess wouldn't eat "used" food (both their wet food and dry food are Science Diet)... So, we started adding a little tuna to the wet food the cats get...

    "Wax Factory"

    The ladies and I went to the vet yesterday for their annual checkup and vaccinations...... Both Brownie and Skyy were very healthy. BUT, they both have wax in their ears. Brownie was rated a "5 out of 10", and we're supposed to use the ear stuff (I can never remember the name but it's the...

    "New" food versus "Old" food...

    For a change, I have a behavior question that isn't a problem........ We have two cats, both female, both in the 3-4 year range. One large, normal cat (Brownie), one small wacky cat (Skyy)... We've always fed them Science Diet since that's what the rescue folks had started them on, and they...

    Cat show photography

    I'm probably in the wrong place, but I don't seen anywhere in theCatSite that'd be any closer, so please feel free to move this...... I'm interested in cat show photography. Not the technical or nuts-and-bolts as much as the business aspects. Can anyone here point me at a forum where there...

    Cat with eye discharge and squint?

    Skyy, one of our two (very spoiled) ladies sometimes has discharge from her eyes and gets crusty bits next to the eyes... We've been remodeling since we got her three years ago, and she is constantly in the middle of everything, sticking her head in places it doesn't belong. So, I figure some...

    Stubborn ear wax

    I'm going to ramble here, so I'll apologize in advance......... We have two young ladies living with us..... Brownie is a large, friendly, 2-year-old, dignified brown tabby who mews quietly, loves to sit on my wife's lap and in the cat bed on the desk next to the monitor in my office, and has...
