I'm going to my first cat show today, can't wait. We aren't planning on getting any cats but I just want to see some breeds I've only read about. And I'm interested in seeing some 'full bred' kitties that I've only ever seen mixes of. All in all, it's just for my entertainment. I can't wait. :nod:

Here we go....Riley, my 14/15 yo was diagnosed with beginning stages of renal failure today. His creative level was 2.5 which isn't too far out of normal, however, it was a significant increase over his levels 6 months ago. He also has 2 infected teeth that have to be removed. Sigh. His...

Does anyone use petfooddirect.com? Even with shipping, we would save $.10-.15/can....doesn't sound like alot but I wouldnt have to pay tax and the food would come direct to my door instead of me running around trying to get to specialty stores before they close. Reviews?

My kitties are currently eating Simply Nourish dry with some Fancy Feast/Friskies/Simply Nourish wet thrown in on occasion. I am just not happy with their response to the Simply Nourish lately. Since switching, Claire has developed Cystitis (could be unrelated but), Riley has gotten severly...

Our cat Fred is very sensitive. He is also the biggest love muffin cat I've ever had. He sleeps with us every night since we got him 10 years ago. Except last night. Or yesterday day. Bogey, our senior cat that crossed the bridge yesterday had his seizure on the bed. According to DH he...

Many of you have been so helpful in the recent weeks thinking of alternatives to pain medication for our old guy Bogey, Thank You. My DH called me on my way in to work this morning telling me something was wrong with Bogey. He said Bogey was shaking, that he couldn't walk, was throwing up and...

DH and I have been faced with a difficult decision that we are trying to work through. I'm wondering what you all would do. Our 21 yo kitty, Bogey, has severe arthritis. He was on Adequin 1x/month, 1/4 baby aspirin every 3 day and Torbutrol nightly. The manufacturer of Torbutrol stopped...

We have a 12 yo dog that is terrified of storms. He sleeps next to our bed every night but when it is storming, he gets to sleep on the bed because he gets so scared. Well last night, around 3 a.m., out of nowhere, the LOUDEST clap of thunder I have ever heard shook our windows, even knocked...

DH and I put our rescue Ragdoll to sleep last year but we've said we will get another one of these days. Well, my mother called this week and a friend of hers had a 10 wk old Ragdoll girl she was giving away and wanted us to have first dibs on her. Her pics are precious. DH and I discussed it...

Our old cat Bogey, 21 yo has severe arthritis. His current regiment is monthly Adequan injection, 1/4 baby aspirin every 3 days and 1/4 tablet Torbutrol every night. His pain is managed succesfully on this. When I called the vet to ask them for a refill on the Torbutrol they informed me that...

  Claire is showing signs of another UTI. I guess we will have to extract urine this time to make sure we get enough to test for crystals. Poor girl. :( I'll get an appointment first thing Monday. Poor baby. 

Our 14 yo, Riley is being a complete PITA. He is normally a very demanding little guy but the past couple of days he has taken it to a whole 'nother level.  I woke up this morning to him laying in my arm, which is where he was when I went to bed so needless to say, my arm was asleep so I moved...

We started Fred on Lysine Wednesday night so he's had 4 doses. Typically, how long does it take to begin seeing results?  Is this something that has to build up in their system?

Last night DH and I were watching TV and noticed our 4 year old peeing in the litterbox several times. The number of times she went was highly unusual so we watched her closely. So far this morning she's been in and out of the box constantly.  She is an overweight kitty but she is also formerly...

At the vet with Riley. He's lost 10 oz since October. They ran another T4 and it was normal. Other bloodwork is normal too. They are taking an X-ray now to rule out anything else. That's a lot of weight for such a little guy.  Send vibes if you have them. Just want him to be OK. 

http://www.petfinder.com/petdetail/21479722 This pup is being fostered by my sister in Lexington, KY. She has been with my sister for a year and really needs to find her forever home. She is a sweet girl that becomes very attached to her people. She doesn't do well with young children so it...

Oi. The resolve of my cat Riley is truly amazing. If you do something, like give a treat once, then to him, it's an expectation, everyday, at that time. So, Riley got hooked on Greenies again. My fault. He began demanding them everyday, multiple times a day....actually, any time you walked...

Our neighbor is a bit ditzy....I mean, she'll water her yard in the rain kind of ditzy. She has a friend that has a dog and when she goes out of town, instead of boarding her dog, she brings it to my neighbor's backyard and leaves it there. There is no dog house or acceptable shelter back...

Have to take Riley in for a senior exam on Monday. DH and I noticed he's losing weight since his last exam about 6 months ago. He's almost 14 now. Where does the time go? But, he's been mewing at us incessantly, his appetite is off the charts and he can't seem to settle down very well. I think...

Is sleeping on my lap. This is the 1st time ever. She started sitting in my lap for longer and longer periods....this has been a year long process. Just getting her in the same room with us took 3years. I want to cry.
