    Would you buy this cat door?

    (This post was approved by the mods in advance. Please contact katachtig with questions.) Hello! I'm a longtime, lapsed TCS member. Some of you who were here back at the beginning of the decade might remember me. 🙂 My husband and I have two cats now -- one is one of the same ones I had before...

    Boots is not concerned with elections

    And would mostly just like a belly rub. Belly rubs are his main political priority. :lol3:

    Meowing feral? Or stray?

    Hi all, I've written before about the cats who live outside my apartment's dumpster in the woods. Previously, there were about 20 cats out there, as best I could tell. I did manage to TNR some of them, but someone that lives here called Animal Control on them a few months ago, and now there's...

    Smoke vs. unsound coat

    Hi everyone :wavey: I'm not a breeder, and I only have moggies, but I've been reading up on certain breeds lately and I have a question for the all-knowing coat color experts. :lol3: How do you know the difference between smoke and an unsound black coat in a moggie? (Obviously you would know...

    Boots had a vaccine reaction last night :(

    Before anyone panics, it was NOT life-threatening or a sarcoma! :lol3: He got his first adult vaccines yesterday simultaneously: rabies and the combo. Both were PureVax. He got them at 2:30pm. He was fine until about 9pm. Then I noticed he wasn't snoozing in the living room like he usually is...

    Just a quick happy vet report!

    Boots and Kramer had their annual exams today, and they did wonderful! I'm so proud of them. :clap: Boots had only been to the vet once before, as a feral kitten, so I didn't know how he'd react at the vet...he's still extremely wary of strangers, and tends to hide whenever anything scary...

    A few of Bootsy and Kramer :)

    Here's one of Boots under the coffee table. I know it's blurry, but it captures his O___O face perfectly. Kramer before his morning coffee. :lol3: "Really?" (Ack, blurry again) What a ham. Kramer says, "Don't hate me 'cause I'm beautiful." They are best friends! Sorry about the...

    We have the best vet on earth!!!

    So, here's some backstory: We got little Bagheera from the adoption center at Petsmart mid-July. When we brought him home, we realized he had icky diarrhea with mucus, and that his little rectum was bulging and red from straining to pass. :( Ouchie!! So, he went to the vet, got Albon for the...

    Strange coat color -- guard hairs

    Hi there, We adopted a 9 week old black male DSH about three weeks ago. He seems to have an inordinate amount of guard hairs for a black kitty, and he also has ghost tabby stripes. He has a sparse white locket too. But his belly is what I'm most curious about... It's strange. Almost a mix...

    Transdermal meds? Clavamox?

    Hi there :) My boy Kramer has a bit of a URI, and our vet prescribed liquid Clavamox. Unfortunately, Kramer is rather dangerous to pill or syringe, because he is prone to violent biting. After trying to syringe him without restraint and finding it basically impossible, we have been rolling him...

    Kramer lost his voice!

    On Tuesday, we noticed that Kramer's meow had gone raspy, like a human who had lost their voice. We also noticed that he wasn't meowing as much as he normally does, leading us to think that meowing, or trying to meow, hurts him. (Normally he's as noisy as a meezer :lol3: ) We decided to give it...

    Vaccines and "booster" shots

    I have a few questions for you TCS experts about vaccines... :D 1. Boots Boots was vaccinated exactly once, as a semi-feral kitten ~2 months old. He got -- I think, because the paperwork got destroyed in a rainstorm :doh3: -- the normal stuff, like FPV (distemper), FCV (calicivirus) and I...

    We MIGHT have a problem with Evie's previous "owner."

    So, a few weeks ago, I posted a thread about my boyfriend's cat, Evie. The full story is here: http://www.thecatsite.com/t/244978/we-got-a-new-kitty Essentially, we were sure Evie was an abandoned cat. All the evidence pointed to it. So we took her in, got her spayed, got her shots, and gave...

    Tagline under username?

    I can't seem to figure out how to edit the little blurb of text some people have under their username. For example, jcat's says "Jamie's tin can opener." How do I put something like that under my name? Was it an old option that disappeared when we went to the new TCS?
