I have heard of this recently and am not sure what to think about it. Has anyone here had any experience with having it done?

I will start off that I know our 8 month old Freyja is not a pure bred cat.  She was adopted from the SPCA and we know her mother is a typical domestic short hair. She started off looking like a short, or perhaps a medium hair kitten; At 8 moths old, she looks like this; I am no expert...

Kasey, my rescue tortie who I have quite a bond with, is scheduled to go the vet on Dec. 28 for a procedure to remove a cyst. This is a cyst on the right, fore-most nipple which looks like a blister, about the size of a pea. The vet said it did not look cancerous, he drained the fluid from it...

We have made great strides in reducing the barking sessions of our Silky Terrier but there are still some relapses. This time, it involved barking at something imagined in the front yard, a few days ago He let out a few barks at something known only to him and dashed for the front window, with...

This is a tough one, so I am looking for any suggestions. Morgan, our "tuxedo girl" has slowly gone from 10 and a bit pounds to 9. She has remained at 9 pounds for the past year and a half. She happened to be at the vet's this morning for vacination. The vet is not concerned with her...

May 21st., 2010 is Kasey's second "Gotcha Day" anniveresry She's my "guard tortie" Of course we had her examined right after comming home with her in 2008, so that also means her annual check-up/vacination day is in late May. I took today as a vacation day so we had a 10:00 appointment...

I took last Friday off. The first part of the day was fine but the weather was threatening in the afternoon so I decided to clean and wax the motorcycle in the garage. Our cats are indoor cats but they can come in the attached garage with supervision, when it is close to the outdoors. I was...

I am interested to hear of any, different flavored alternatives. I wanted to give Kasey this product but she isn't interested in it at all. I would put it on her paws and let her lick it and I tried that once. However, she has a history of abuse, she trusts me and when I tried that method...

I was wondering if anyone else has a cat with a curled ear tip? Kasey's right ear tip is curved rearwards, a bit. I have known her most of her life, she was brought home in May 2008. She has always had this. The ear look nornal and healthy, it is just that the tip is curled back in a bit of...

I am interested to know about anyone's experiences or opinions as to whether meowing is something adult cats do by themselves or mostly practiced by those kept as pets. Here is a quote of one online comentary: "The 'meow' (also spelled 'miau', 'miow' or 'miao') is a vocalization used by...

Kasey, my recue tortie has signs of an old injury and with some of the recent posts on caring for cats with these injuries, it made me wonder if this is what happened to her. This is just for curiosity at this point, she has been seen by our vet who acknowleges it is an old injury but says...

I wanted to have some fun with this and not take it too seriously, I read this on another site and I wondered how other torties match up to Kasey. I used to think tortitude was just a myth, then I compared the quote below and compared it to Kasey. To quote it, with my comments in brackets...

I would like to get some opinions on Kasey's weight loss. The vet put Kasey on prescribed low cal food, we started at the end of Jan. 2009. She is a shop vac. for food, of any type. At that time she was 16.3 pounds (a little "Butterball"). She has lost 1 pound in 8 months as registered by an...

One of our cats, Kasey, the tortie has this behaviour and I wondered if anyone ele's cat does this. She holds her tail upright, in the "greating posture" and for lack of a better description, wiggles it like a tom sprying. She doesn't sray (good thing ) This happens when she is either...

We have a "guard cat", with tortitude Kasey is very friendly and loves human attention and is very friendly when people visit. She is an indoor cat, now and doesn't show much interest in going outside but seems to want to defent the house. Two examples; 1.) Last winter, one night, some...

I was wondering if anyone else has seen this. Kasey, my rescue torti, has a slighly curled tip in her right ear. It curls up, not down. I have known her since she was quite young and it seems she always had this so I wonder if she was born with it. She is 8 to 10 years old now. I took her...

Do you have a cat, or cats, with ear tufts? I am refering to DSH's, not breeds specifically known for them. Taz, our big, orange, 11 year old, indoor, neutered tom has them. He is 19 to 20 pounds and is big, not very fat. He has ear tufts 3/8 to 1/2 inch long (won't hold still for measuring...

I was mentioning to someone how our "rescue" torti, Kasey brought home at 8 to 10 years of age in May 2008, has adapted well to indoor life but has a few reminders we did not raise here from a kitten. None of it is bad stuff, though. She came from one of our comany's sites, a few people liked...

Our cats are trained to go to the basement at night to keep out of trouble. They are indoor cats. They don't seem to think of it as banishment, it is clean, spacious, cat-proofed etc. with places to run, hide and do whatever they want. They often go down there during the day, by choice. On...

My 20 pound, neutered ginger tom has done this most of his adult life. When he grooms, he often makes a noise that we refer to as "oinking", it is a sound something like a pocupine makes. I have never heard another cat do this. It is not like he is in pain, it just seems to be his routine...
