    I'm not "new" here.. just "newly returned"...

    Hello everyone. :) I haven't been an active member since March 2011 when I lost my baby Mackerel to FIP. I don't know if anyone remembers Mackerel- she was a beautiful 2 year old long-hair Mackerel striped tabby, the most affectionate, lovely, sweet little girl. I was devastated when she was...

    Paralysed tail?

    Hey guys, I'm at a babysitting job and there's a 16 year old cat here called Jemima. I think her tail is paralysed, but I'm not.. sure. She doesn't seem to be in pain or anything, and I couldn't find any blood or anything, but there does seem to be some swelling around the base of the tail. Is...

    Mackerel and I lost our fight yesterday morning.

    Mackerel and I have been fighting her acute renal failure for about five weeks now, and yesterday she crossed the rainbow bridge. I miss her so much.

    Fly spray and cats...

    Hey Guys, usually I use a swatter because I don't like spraying poison in my home, but today we had the door open for a long time and we have about 20 flies in the house. It's driving me mad and the swatter just isn't working. Is using fly spray going to affect Mackerel? She has severely...

    The Mackerel Update Thread. :3

    As per Zoey's Mum's suggestion, here's the new thread! Haha. The old thread is here. A (not so) brief summary of the past few weeks: I took Mackerel to MBF Vet on the 29th of January and was told that she had FeLV or FIV+. They took a blood test and told me I'd have the results on Monday. On...

    Well, it's MY scratching post now!

    This afternoon my new housemate moved in, with her furniture and... her cat's furniture. XD Her cat- called Mr. chicken- will be joining us in a few weeks when Mackerel's better, and we'll be taking their introduction VERY slowly so that it doesn't stress her out. We figured the first step was...

    Mackerel making her demands known. XD

    Hey guys, Mackerel's been sick lately- she had ARF and then severe anaemia. Unknown cause. She was sent home with me last week to die, basically, after spending a few weeks in the vet hospital, but she's made a startling recovery. I took her back to the vet today for another check up, and one...

    Help please! Having trouble medicating Mackerel! D:

    Hey Guys, I know there's an article on this in the FAQ, but I'm desperate. D: Mackerel is currently on two pills and two pastes a day. The pastes are fine, but the pills are so hard for us. D: I've tried all the different ways i could think of- If I grind them up in her food she doesn't eat...

    Do you talk to your cats? And........

    And do they talk back to you? Mackerel does. I swear she does! She understands! Anyway, I didn't know that this was such a strange thing until my most recent exhousemate moved in. The second or third day after she moved in, I hadn't realised that she was still here- she'd slept in, and I...

    Mackerel's taken a turn for the worse. :(

    Hey guys, continued from: http://www.thecatsite.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=227016 I just thought I'd start a new thread with the info up in the subject because it's such a change in the information I had for you on Saturday. At that point in time it looked like she would be ok, coming home with...

    Monster! (A poem I wrote. :-3)

    Last week a sound pulled me awake, A sigh, a growl, it made me quake, My paranoia ran too deep, For me to once more get to sleep. What fangs?! What claws?! were in the dark, That morning banished by the lark. Her dulcet tones spelt sweet release, The monster left, I slept in peace. But...

    Mackerel has Acute Renal Failure

    Hey Guys, So after this horrific weekend, it turns out that Mackerel has Acute Renal Failure. No idea what caused it or anything, the blasted vet is too busy to speak to me (I had to get these test results from the receptionist!) and I have no idea what to do or what's going to happen and I...

    Feline Leukemia

    I took Mackerel to the vet this morning because she hasn't been eating much and is very lethargic and drinking lots of water. The vet found a 5cm lump in her abdomen, and says that it might be Feline Leukemia. He took blood and I'll get the results on Monday. I feel so guilty. She had her shots...

    Mackerel is TOO thin. How to fatten her up?

    Hey Guys, I really need advice and help, please. Mackerel's always been a picky eater, but the last couple of months (I think due to stress? because of conflict at home) she's lost a lot of weight. I've gotten rid of the stressful situation and I hope that will make a difference in how happy...

    Mack's been trying to send me a message, not just ripping up my papers for fun!

    Lol, so Mackerel has a habit of tearing paper to shreds. I didn't realise that she was actually trying to send me a message, not just doing it for fun.

    My Cat doesn't like food with "lumps" in it.

    Mackerel has always been really picky about what she eats. I'm becoming concerned though because I've recently begun to notice that she's very very skinny. With her cat food, usually she will eat the gravy in the wet food and not touch the dry kibble at all. Is there any way to encourage her...

    Whiskers

    Hey Everyone, I have what is probably a bit of a silly question, but I'm hoping that someone has an answer for me. :-3 Mackerel just lost a whisker while she was grooming- I've never seen any whiskers around the place so I think this is the first one that's fallen out. Is this something to be...
