Today, I brought my Kelsie Kitty (the one in my Avatar Picture--the black and white kitty) to the Vets. I noticed in the past few weeks, she seemed not like herself. Then, she had a series of hacking up furballs and I thought, "Oh good, this is what is wrong..." She didn't seem to rally...

So, this kitty showed up on my Patio several months ago, where I feed a feral male cat (who KNOWS the traps and so far, I have NOT been successful trapping him. He just avoids my Patio at all costs, when the traps are out!) Anyway, new little black kitty shows up FRANTIC to eat! I decided...

I took her to the Vet's today, as she had steadily been getting worse with urinary and bowel issues. They checked her for UTI (several different Vets at several different clinics), and she has been on Miralax for her holding stool. SO, SO many tests and so many different meds and exams and...

Ok, so...I found a little, tiny 5-6 week old kitten, & actually thought it was dead. Picked it up and it MOVED! It's poor little eyes were matted shut, as was it's little nose. I cleaned off it's face and it opened it's sick little eyes. I gave it some liquid antibiotics, I had(for another...

I have some pics of the Feeding Stations I've been making and also the Cat Shelters too. On the floor of the Feeding Stations, I have been putting that "puffy" shelf liner, which keeps the bowls from slipping AND insulates the floor a bit, for the colder weather (for kitty paws!). I use the...

She is 10 months old and was a feral kitten I found, at the old grainmill, where I feed a colony of feral cats. She got an ear infection in AUGUST and has been almost constantly on one antibiotic, or another, since then. She has NOT cleared up! I had them do a culture on the ears and they...

Well...I haven't been on any boards, as my husband was in Cleveland Clinic for a month, with a terrible, massive kidney infection. I stayed with him, while he was in there. He got home, and I thought WHEW!!! Then, he got another kidney infection (and I suspect, it is the SAME one, that the...

Here is a picture of a Kitty Food Feeding Station I made. They are easy and effective, in keeping the food dry. I have used blue plastic tubs before, but found, the kitties REALLY like the clear plastic ones, as they can then "monitor" what is going on around them, while they have their meal...

My DH is and has been VERY, VERY ill. Has been in/out of the hospitals and still has a hospital trip coming up soon. So, not much time to get on the computer lately! But, I have missed coming here to read what you all have been up to!!!! In the meantime, a little kitty wandered into my life...

There's a stray/feral calico kitty I found running around here. Don't know how for how long. But when it snowed, I saw all it's little footprints in the yards... ANYWAY, my DH doesn't want any extra cats right now. This one would, most likely, not be able to be an indoor cat, as it seems SO...

I made this sheltered feeding station for the strays and ferals we feed, and it is working out SO well! I will be making more of them, I am sure! I cut the lid with an Exacto Knife and a heavy duty scissors. I tied the 1/2 lid to the sides of the tub, with holes I made and used re-cycled...

My dear mother in law(not!) came over, about 3 weeks ago, with her little Cairn Terrier. After being here for 2 hours, she commented she was going nuts with the dog, because (and I quote!) "He is just INFESTED with fleas!" --UGH!!! (So, can you explain what-the-heck you brought that...

Poor little Spike!! I had to take him to the new Vet's AGAIN!! I could NOT get that kitty to take the Flagyl(medication --pill) anymore. When I gave it to him, Saturday night, he LITERALLY foamed at the mouth and was hacking and spitting and rolling around, trying to get the taste out of his...

I saw where you posted on Momofmany's thread about the coccidia. Spike has diarrhea, and I AM getting him in this week to the new Vet's. He did test negative for parasitess, but I am quite certain the stool was not tested for bacterial... So, I am going to run in another stool sample and ask...

Well, Spike has diarrhea and weighs 13 1/2 pounds. I did give him some cooked pumpkin in a syringe--so it was about 2 c.c.'s. How much does a cat take of it, to help with diarrhea?(and how often?) I had him checked for parasites and it came back negative. He WAS on antibiotics for a...

OMG!!! I was trying to put a new filter into the furnace--turned my back for ( I SWEAR!) 1 minute, to get the new filter, and Spike showed up and crawled into the furnace(I REALLY thought he was upstairs--sleeping!)--and THOUGHT the basement door was shut!!! Anyway, I HAD to extract him from...

I had decided that I was going to call the vets today, and get an antibiotic, as soon as I woke up today(Missy had teeth extractions and deep tooth cleaning. Well, when I DID get up, my poor kitty was lethargic, had a temp of 103.4 and had her eyes all matted shut! I was SOOOO upset! So, I...

My POOR little Missy (my little white kitty) had a few teeth pulled under anesthesia today. About 2 weeks ago, I picked her up, and noticed she had BAD breath! I opened her mouth and I was horrified at how her teeth looked! They had turned bad REALLY quickly!! She eats dry catfood, mostly...

I feed and give water regularly, to the abandoned cats and kittens that have accumulated at the edge of our town. We have been working so hard to get them spayed or neutered, but it seems there are often new ones just dumped there. Anyway, in late May, I saw a little litter of 3 kittens--but...

Hope I did this one right too! --Aren't they the CUTEST???!!!!
