Hi. I was going through my old cat supplies and came upon some things I no longer need. With the holidays approaching, someone may need them. I am happy to send them to anyone in the US for the price of postage. The weight is 1 pound, 7 ounces. The unit requires 4 AAA batteries (not included)...

Hi everyone, Here, I am, back at The Cat Site! I am still very much grieving the losses of my three oldies last year. I have sold much of my cat supplies, and have been embracing the pet free life. Well, in the last month or so I began setting up my game cam (critter cam) in order to watch...

Hi everyone. As some of you may recall, I lost all three of my elderly cats within a 6 month span last year. It has been very hard, and I have not adopted any pets since. In early May we took down our cat fence topper, as I decided if I ever get a new cat, it will be indoor/harnessed only. A...

Tuesday I donated some of my deceased cats’ beds to the local animal shelter. They were well used, but still warm and usable, and it felt right to donate them. While there, I walked through the cat room. I heard a meow and looked down, and saw this handsome guy. His shelter name is “Fabio.”...

So it has been a few weeks of the “pet free” life for me. I still feel like I am in a funk or having a bad dream. My arms still ache for my lost kitties. I am in no way even thinking of a new one at this point. I have wonderful friends who sent me floral arrangements after each of my three...

Hello, I am ready to sell my custom made Litter Robot Hider. I am currently cat free, and if I adopt another, I will want a different style of hider. While I originally used it with a LitterRobot, in the last few years I just used an extra large litter pan or StrriLite bin. I live about 65...

We said goodbye to Felix today. He was 17, and had been in a decline for several months. Yesterday he was having a very bad day, and I could tell he was not happy with being alive. We saw the vet today. He could find nothing wrong with Felix on physical exam, other than some muscle wasting. The...

As many of you know, this has been a year of loss for me. I lost both Brillo and Ziggy (my heart and soul cat) within a 5 month span. It is not easy to go on without them. I saw an ad for a company that makes canvases using photos of pets. I had one done recently and just received it this week...

On the 25th of October, I purchased a bag of Royal Canin Fiber Response cat food for my kitty Brillo, who used small amounts to keep her constipation in check. On 10/31, Brillo passed. She only ate about 1 ounce from the 8 pound bag. I would like this food to not go to waste. If anyone...

Tonight I put down only one pet food bowl for the first time since 1990. My precious Brillo is gone. In June I posted about the loss of Ziggy, Brillo’s brother. As I processed my grief, I blurted out that I resented my remaining cats, because they were still here and Ziggy was gone. Now I only...

I am just back from the vet. My precious Brillo,15, has been diagnosed with probable intestinal lymphoma. It appears advanced, and I was offered no treatment other than comfort measures. I am in shock, as this came out of nowhere. I am a huge proponent of quality of life over quantity. She is...

Hello, Years ago, I bought a DVD of wildlife videos for cats to watch. Ziggy especially loved it, and Brillo gradually warmed up to it. Now YouTube has tons of videos for cats, and Brillo watches them frequently when I am working in the study. Today we were on the sofa, and I decided to turn...

In June my Brillo turned 15 and I had a quinceanera planned for her birthday weekend. However, that day came on the heels of the loss of her brother Ziggy and other household disasters, so I delayed it a few weeks. It was PERFECT last night! Ten guests attended and once all had arrived, we took...

There might be a few who remember me. I was active years back, but haven’t posted in a long time. I lost my youngest kitty, Ziggy, on Wednesday, June 2, 2021. He was 14. He is the kitty in my avatar. Ziggy’s death is impossibly difficult for me, as it was unexpected. While we have been...

My kitties needed a new catnip toy.  I thought this one was perfect!  Left to right:  Brillo, Ziggy and Felix. And here's Felix after he'd had his way with it:

I need to have one sentence translated.  I found it written on the envelope to my father's life insurance policy, and when I used an online translator, it came out bizarre and a little disturbing sounding.  If there are any native German speakers here who would be willing to translate for me...

Hi everyone, I am back again with another weird situation.  Asking questions here always gives me such a variety of answers, from people from all backgrounds and I really treasure the responses. As you may remember, my father passed on March 20, and my mother has been in a nursing home.  I had...

Hi everyone, I haven't been active here in a while, but pop in to read frequently.  Some things have happened in my life the last month and I need input on a situation I find myself in now. I am the only surviving child of aging parents.  A month ago my mom, 82, suffered a compression fracture...

Hi everyone, It's been quite a week, and it's only half over.  I was petting my 10 year old doggy, Sally on Sunday and felt a marble-sized mass on her leg.  It just felt "odd" to me so I called first thing on Monday and was at the vet's at 2:00 pm. By 2:15, she'd been diagnosed with Mast Cell...
