Widget, my 3 year old, suddenly developed a blockage in his urethra that required a 4 night vet stay, catherization, etc. Vet says he MUST now eat Hill's c/d. I was feeding Instinct Raw Boost Grain Free Recipe with Real Chicken Natural Dry Cat Food, at will feeding, plus he shared a can of...
I/O, my bicolor girl, has something wrong in her mouth...probably dental. The shelter told me 2 years ago, when I got her, that she was 4...but she behaves more like a senior cat. I suspect she's more like 10-15 at this point. Anyway, she is very non-compliant when it comes to anything that...
A friend needed to re-home her cat. She's been looking for a place for a couple of weeks with no luck. I was considering getting a 3rd, although I was intending on getting a Devon Rex kitten...but really felt that I should instead offer to re-home her girl, Eliza. I brought her to my place...
My Cable got very ill back last winter. She dropped over 1/2 her body weight & wasn't eating, so I chose to euthanize her. I took her to the shelter, & brought home a new furbaby, I/O (she's the cat on the left in my avatar) so that Ping wouldn't be alone. Cable was a sweet girl, and I miss her...
i've been around for a while, but it's been 3 or so years since my last post, so i thought i should post here. currently i have 2 cats, Cable, my senior, and Ping, my 2 year old tuxie. they are in my avatar, but here are a couple of better pix:

Pixel, my 14 year old, left for the Bridge last night. :sniffle: i'd had her (& her littermate :angel: Mouse) since they were both about 7 weeks old. i'd read the name Pixel in a book & liked it - the problem was finding a 'companion' name. a friend suggested Mouse, & Mouse was a blue cat, so it...
Pixel has been lying in the kitchen for most of today. very lethargic, her 3rd eyelids are showing, not eating, barely drinking. she's been having some health issues recently (persisten UTI), & today she just seemed to 'crash' very unexpectedly. i'm fairly certain she's had some sort of TIA - i...
Cable's been wheezing lately, so i took her to the vet a couple of weeks ago. vet thought it was feline asthma - gave her a steroid shot - & i had recently switched to a new, lighter-weight litter that i thought might have triggered it [she's a major flinger!]. anyway, it got a little better...
well, my new place [the rental] has carpets... & i've seen a couple of fleas on Pixel. what can i do for the flooring that DOESN'T involve bombing - i'm very sensitive to insecticides.
also, best treatment for the cats - oral, topical, brands?
those of you w/experience, please advise!
my kitties are seriously deprived! these are the only 'sun' pix i have [& some aren't that sunny]... i tend to prefer a dark house because of my light sensitivity. but i have a few - which one should i use?

Cable 2
Java 1
Java 2
Java 3
Mouse
Chip & Firefox
i have to move for my new job - & haven't yet found a place that will take all 5 of my furchildren... i'll probably have to re-home 3. Java's easy - she might even be able to stay here [my nephew's going to rent my house] but the other 2 will most probably have to move. i'm currently fairly...
here are the choices [not as many as last time!]:
Pixel in the SS box [still full of wrapping!]

Pixel & the remote
Pixel hiding in a box

Pixel went to the vet today, because she's been throwing up partially digested food for at least the past 2 days... wasn't sure @ 1st who the culprit was, but then i caught her.
anyway, they took blood for a senior panel [she'll be 12 in september], then came back for a stool sample because her...
