    Introductions of Two Kittens to Two Adults

    Quick question for you all ... Short back story first.  We have 3yr old & 2yr old neutered males who, after their proper introductions at 19mos & 3.5mos old, are just thick as thieves.  We are about to interview for a job that would not only keep us in the town we would love to live in (after...

    Cat Limping

    Help please while i call the local emergency vet. Our oldest boy was, what we thought, barely stepped on by my husband earlier today.  He squawked a little bit and ran on out of the way.  We thought the DH just stepped on his foot. Neither of us saw it happen. We were gone for 2hrs for dinner...

    South Louisiana Feral Rescue

    I am posting in hopes of any of our members knowing of any resources for feral rescue and/or TNR in the Vidalia, LA or Natchez, MS area. There are approx. 10-12 feral cats in what I now presume to be two small colonies.  An employee where we work at (a campground) for the winter has now...

    Desperate for Help!

    Long story short.  We are in a campground where there are other ferals and/or throw aways that roam this property.  There was just a cat-fight outside one of our windows where both our boys were listening/watching. They were sitting side by side watching intently .,. then all of a sudden our...

    Happy Gotcha Day Monty!

    You were so very little, at 3.5mos, compared to your big brother. You playfully inserted yourself right into the trust and love of your big brother.  You became bonded for life.  Your humans watched in awe and fell in love with you again, just like the day we saw your sweet face, listened to...

    Tummy Issues with Epigen 90?

    I have read the handful of threads here on cats who have either had no interest in, or had an upset tummy from the Epigen 90.  Presumably due to the high protein content. I decided, when I saw it on sale, to give that kibble a try since it also appears to help with weight loss, and our younger...

    Making Progress With Rad Cat

    Thanks to all who gave me the confidence in the Rad Cat brand - primarily for the texture being highly appealing to a number of other members' cats.  While we are in the Dallas/Fort Worth area I finally found a supplier/distributor for Rad Cat that I hope to make good use of in the future.  So...

    Travel With Cats

    Most here know that my husband & I live, and travel, fulltime in an RV (caravan for those across the pond *wink*).   Both our boys have never known anywhere but - outdoors as a stray for Si, and a shelter for Monty, until they came to share our lives.  In both instances of adoption, I would...

    Weight Loss Expectations

    I am in process, after receiving a valid weight on our little guy of 15lbs, of changing their diet and of course upping exercise, play time etc. I guess the "good" news is that since 9/8/2014 Monty has not gained any weight.  He is still at 15.2.   Si, however, has gained 4oz.  I don't...

    Will He Remember Where He's From?

    Having had only one cat that seemingly remembered where she came from - my parents took her from an unwanted litter next door to us, they built a house across town and moved, and yet Maudie (incredible tortoise shell calico girl) made it all the way back across town which was about 4mi and the...

    Mini Meltdown & Requested Help With The Basics (Long)

    Our little guy Monty gave us a scare Monday.  DH took an afternoon break from work to come in to Monty sneezing (what he said seemed like 100x) back to back, then started a hoarse coughing sound like he was going to throw up.  Never did.  I came in heard the coughing again.  We waited, and...

    Walking Harnesses

    I finally moved away from the standard nylon cat harnesses as I continued to notice it seemingly bothered both boys in their front armpit areas.  Especially our older boy who pulls like a pitbull to go, go, go as well as chases da Bird like crazy outside. So, I took the plunge and purchased my...

    Heading Off Weight Gain

    Monty is nearing 14lbs at 1yr and while I realize he is just going to be a bigger cat than Si overall (based on his frame) I want to head this off at the pass before he packs on anymore weight.  Si is actually down in weight (from 13.6 at his last vet visit in March '14 to 12.8 as of July '14)...

    Stress Test

    Another successful stress test of the "20lb maximum weight" limits on the SunnySeat Cat Window Perch.  Although we have two of the perch's .. these two silly boys, especially Monty, love to cram into the same one regularly for grooming and naps. As much as we love our boy Si, who just turned...

    Brotherly Love

I thought I would share a new pic.  Black cats are the most difficult in the world, it seems, to photogragh ,, but here are our boys:   Si on the left with his arm around his baby brother, and Monty on the right with his little feet curled up...

    Travel Update

    Well .. it has been a bit since I've been online here as we were crazy busy our last few weeks in Texas, visiting with our kids and grand daughter, but wanted to give an update as to how our little man Monty has been doing as Travel Cat II. I think the pic, at 60mph rolling into Santa Fe, NM...

    Healthy Boys

    Just a quick update on these handsome little guys that share our life. Both had their wellness check today with a feline-only vet here in the North Texas area.  I have wanted, and the stars finally aligned, to find a feline only vet in the same area we stay in regularly (to visit our kids and...

    Bobcat Fever

    Having a discussion with a very good friend and fellow camper today .. I learned of Bobcat Fever.  Anyone here with any experience?  I'm going to call the local vet here tomorrow to inquire in the likelihood where we are.   But this scared the crap out of me.  My private facebook convo: Today...

    Today marks the 1st full year since we met, and were adopted by our main man Si (it's pronounced like *sigh*) You let us feed you, clean your leg abcess, give you a warm blanket & bed on our couch and finally .. you let us love you.  We admit, we had you neutered and offer our sincere...
