    Biter

    I thought I was done with deaths related to FeLV, but I was wrong. We lost Attitude and Nuts' mom Biter, who was maybe 4 years old to FeLV, a year after we lost Nuts, at 2 years old, who was the last of her 9 kittens. The only FeLV cat we have left is Mama who we know is at least 5, Biter's mom...

    Megacolon

    I'm not sure if many people remember me since I haven't been on recently since Nuts passed away. After Nuts passed on we got Sirius, who is thankfully very healthy(Nuts and his sister Attitude both had FeLV.) He has never pooped daily, since we got him about 13 months ago, usually going every...

    Family history

    I joined ancestry. com to find out about my family. I'm not using real names, one because one of them is still alive and their names aren't important, plus this is my family after all and I feel like 'protecting' them. I knew bits and pieces of my mom's dad's side of the family(I knew his...

    Blue

    One of my ferals. He was found today and he'd been hit by a car, I'm guessing he had been hit sometime overnight as I had seen him just fine the day before. He wasn't doing well, he had been increasingly cranky and we were going to have to take him to the vet to be checked out and most likely...

    Dexter & Sirius

    They seem to be getting along and were even willing to share the couch. As you can see they have settled very nicely together. Edited to add: Sirius' bald spot on his tummy is from a sore he had when the rescue took him, the hair hasn't grown back yet. Taryn

    Pooping once a week

    Sirius only poops once a week. It is a large amount, and it's well formed but still it's only once a week. Is this normal or do I need to take him to the vet? He is fed only wet food and he sometimes(rarely) snacks on cheap dry food. I'm trying to get him to snack on ToTW but he eats so little...

    Sirius update

    We have poop and normal poop at that. He was using the box when I went into the bathroom and I have honestly never seen a cat poop that much in my life. The dog doesn't even poop that much and he's 30 lbs(he's fed ToTW.) I don't even think my Old English Sheepdog Abby pooped that much and she...

    Sirius has diarrhea

    Poor Mr. Black, I found diarrhea in his litter box and there was a tiny bit on the towel around the box. I went to feed him this morning and my arm got wet(he gets lifted up onto the counter for his food) and sure enough it smelled like cat poo and when I went into the bathroom where his litter...

    My new baby

    No pictures of him yet, he's still scared so I'm not going to push it. Not sure he'd mind but I'll post pics when I take some. His name is Mitchell but I despise that name so he will end up renamed whenever we figure out a good name for him. For now I think I'll use Mr. Black until he has a...

    Nuts

    He was only 2 years and 3 weeks old(exactly) but FeLV is mean and uncaring about age. He was acting weird, just not being himself(hiding, not really eating, lethargic) so we took him to the vet on Tues and he had a fever so they thought he had an infection, they also drew blood since he was...

    Nuts isn't acting right

    He's going to the vet at 1:30 so I know he has to get to the vet. He just hasn't wanted attention, has been hiding more than usual, hasn't been sleeping and hanging out in the dog's crate(we normally have to kick him out of the crate if we need to crate the dog), he seems kind of more afraid...

    Pet Armor Plus

    Would you use it on your cat? Pet Armor Plus for Cats I have a month before I use it since I just used a tube of Revolution I had left over from last year(it had over a year before it's exp date) so I wanted to use that. I already put the Pet Armor Plus for dogs on Dexter(him and Nuts are...

    Switching dry

    I found ToTW for Nuts at Rural King(they finally started carrying it) while I was there buying ToTW for Dexter(the dog.) How slow do I need to switch him? He's currently eating Solid Gold Indigo Moon(their grain free variety.) With the dog(totally different animal, I know) I did it over 3-4...

    and then there were 4... make that 3

    I found Runt lying dead in the yard this morning, he was cold and stiff so he had been there for a little while. He had a URI but had seemed fine the last time I had seen him. While I was picking him up I saw Half-tail, her little cold had exploded into a nghtmare. I took her to the vet and...

    Keeping dog out of litter box

    I have no way of blocking off Dexter's access to the boxes so that is not an option. Nuts' favorite box happens to be in the bathroom which I obviously can't directly observe most of the time since I don't live in the bathroom. The one in the kitchen is easier to observe since I can see the area...

    Not another

    We have had a long haired tabby show up(no collar of course) and I think it's female and in heat. I just got a quick grab on it(she wsn't too keen on being held) so I can't be sure if it's female but the way it sounds it's in heat. It's also someone's pet since I was able to pet her and pick her...

    Keeping the cat out of the dog food

    I think the title says it all. Nuts wasn't eating like he was supposed to, he was eating very little so I gave him an appetite stimulant pill that I have from Attitude(she never used them she crossed the bridge before she was even given the first one.) My vet isn't open until Mon and I didn't...

    So far so good, kind of

    Well less than 12 hours in... Nuts has chilled out and Dexter is great at ignoring Nuts. Nuts is curious and has been getting on the couch to check out Dexter. Dexter wags his tail when Nuts gets close. Problem is Dexter appears to be afraid of Nuts and won't get off the couch or the...

    Dog food advice needed

    Since Paul has decided that he doesn't want any more dying cats, we have decided on a dog. Not sure how Nuts will react to this, I know he has a healthy fear of dogs, but I'm not sure if it goes beyond healthy. Attitude was terrified of dogs(but she fell behind Mitzi's fence before she was 8...
