My girl Winnie is 17 now and has been in really good health for quite some time. We noticed some weight loss and an unusual amount of friendless but it wasn't too concerning until the day she started staggering around like a drunken sailor. We immediately took her to our vet where she was...

I've been dealing with litterbox issues for the past year or so with my 4 year old former stray and although I am VERY stubborn, I'm close to giving up at this point. Rather than run through all of the things we've tried I'll tell you where we are right now... 2 girls, 2 boys. The girl...

Morning TCS! I'll try to keep this brief but we've been having an exhaustive battle with litterboxes and I'm running out of ideas. After trying SO many different things our current set up is 5 cats, 6 automatic boxes. We've got 2 littermaids in a covered cabinet, 3 littermaids outside of a...

Maizie found yet another new toy today :) ~Heidi

Maizie as we've been calling her (although I'm still not 100% on that spelling) is quite the active little feline.  Yesterday I wandered into the guest bathroom and found that she had discovered a new toy.  Thought you all might appreciate the photos and video :) ~Heidi

Since the night we brought "Kitten" into our home, she has spent a few minutes every day suckling on my hair.  She tends to do this most frequently when she is hungry or when she has just eaten and is ready to nap.  I haven't yet gotten a video of her actually sucking on my hair, but this was...

8 weeks ago I had to put my beloved 10 year old kitty Cali to sleep due to an unknown but aggressive form of cancer.  Making the decision to end her suffering was one of the hardest things I've ever had to do and I've been quite sad about her loss the past couple of months.  I had no immediate...

I started a thread the other day asking for advice on my 10 year old DSH who had decreased appetite and increased weight loss:  http://www.thecatsite.com/t/253560/10-year-old-tabby-decreased-eating-shaking-head-possible-lymphoma-any-experiences We took her to a specialist today and before they...

It has been a long time since I've been on these forums because things have been relatively drama free in my cat filled household but I'm back and need help. Unfortunately my 10 year old DSH has been losing weight over the last few weeks.  I noticed she was getting skinny, that I could feel her...

I'll try to keep this brief but my apologies if I ramble as so much has happened in the last few days that I just don't know where to begin. I'd appreciate hearing from anyone that has been in a similiar situation or that can offer advice on what I should/shouldn't be doing to help my kitty...

Previously I posted about my poor cat Winnie with the gunky white eye. The special vet Opthm. I took her to gave me medication to treat the eye but didn't really discuss what caused the irritation. Based on her previous issues with Rodent Ulcer, and my research via the Internet and feeding...

I noticed less than two weeks ago that my little Winnie kitty had some white goo on her eye. I could tell it wasn't just normal discharge as it seemed firmly affixed to the outermost corner of her left eye. I got her a visit with the vet, and they confirmed what my research had had suggested...

Monday night I noticed one of Lolaâ€8482s kittens (although 7 months old isnâ€8482t really still a kitten) sneezing a bit. Once he crawled onto me I realized that his paws, ears, and entire little body were pretty warm. He sounded a bit congested and occasionally breathed through his mouth when...

As some of you may have read on the crossing the bridge thread, my family dog of 13 years just passed away on Thursday. My parents received Taffy, a german shepard/lab mix, as a free puppy back in 1991. I know she lived with us in the house for awhile when we first got her, but it wasn't long...

Well, this is my first time posting in "Crossing the Bridge" and I've gotta admit it's as hard as I imagined it would be. I've come here a number of times and read the sad news of the passing of other's loved animals. Each time the stories brought a tear to my eye but never as many as I'm...

Well, I too, finally became the victim of a depressed economy. I received word today that my position as webmaster has been eliminated due to budget cuts. At least the school was kind enough to send a letter to my permanent address so my mom was the one that had to call me with the bad news...

It never ceases to amaze me just how quickly these little buggers change. Just last night I checked in on the kittens and noticed that two of them still had their umbilical cords attached and only one appeared to be on his way to opening his eyes. This morning however, I found that all of the...

I was just watching the 5:00 news and there was a story about a raid on a house full of cats in Austin today. Apparently this gentleman had taken in 57 cats and they were living in an abandonded house. Neighbors complained about the smell and you guessed it....all 57 cats were taken to Town...

I wanted to post this update sooner but honestly my brain was just fried as a result of this whole delivery process. Iâ€8482ve got quite the story to tell so if youâ€8482re impatient like me youâ€8482ll just want to scroll right down to the picture Monday evening, around 2 am, Lola expelled...
