A huge thank you to all of your for taking the time to share your experiences here. Something that I wasn't expecting when I posed this question is that the thread really brought to light that whether we go on the raw journey or not, my current vet might not be the best fit for me. @Tik cat's...

I'm super new to feeding raw. Over the past couple of weeks I have been transitioning my boy, Lebowski to a commercial raw diet, just to see if he likes it. He seems to enjoy the food and anecdotally, it seems to keep him full a bit longer than his canned food did (based solely on the fact that...

@BlackCatOp That's really good advice on acclimating him to the mask. I stole your idea and we've started doing that too and he's NOT happy about it. I'm hoping that he warms up to it with time (or just admits defeat and stops fighting it 😂).

@BlackCatOp The Aerokat should arrive tomorrow (fingers crossed). I don't know how Lew is going to handle it... he's not great with things around his face so it will be an adventure! I see sooooo many scratches in my future. I was going to order the fluticasone from inhousepharmacy; since that...

Thank you both so much! This is all very helpful. The asthma group is especially helpful... they recommended a couple of online pharmacies that are significantly cheaper than anything here. Thank you!

In August 2019 we adopted our boy, Lebowski. He was part of a local TNR program but he turned out to be quite friendly and was adopted out to me rather than released back to his colony. We think he's about 3 or 4 years old. He's settled in wonderfully but over the past couple of months my...

I can't thank you all enough for your love and support. Artie was always just so aloof and removed from the rest of the family and we always just figured she wanted it like that and respected her desire for space and territory that was hers. I wasn't expecting any of this. It was the meows this...

Thank you all, this is all very comforting. Something entirely new happened with her this morning. She started mimicking Winston's meows and chirps. Every morning, Winston would use his litter box and then sit outside our bedroom door making a series of chirps and meows to wake us up and tell...

Hi All. About three weeks ago we had to say goodbye to our beloved boy, Winston. Something that my partner and I had not expected was the change in our other cat, Artemis. Artemis has been with me since she was a kitten and she's always been a little "prickly". She doesn't like to be touched...

Thank you all so much for your words of encouragement. This isn't a happy update. We made the decision this morning and our boy is no longer with us. I'm so torn between wishing we had more time with him and being incredibly thankful that his decline was quick and not drawn out (that's a...

Hi All, I want to you thank you in advance if you read this long ramble. The short version of this is that my beloved boy, Winston is in end-stage Congestive Heart Failure and I need tips on how to cope. Here is the longer/more detailed version: I adopted Winston six years ago from a local...

Ezio is absolutely beautiful. I'm so sorry for all that you're going through. You made the best choice that you could have under the circumstances and put your baby's comfort first. *hugs*

What a sweetie! :redheartpump: When I get sick, I'm usually sneezing a lot which mine do not care for AT ALL so they actively avoid me when I'm sick. If I sneeze they scatter in all directions. However, they seem to be really in tune with my mood as weird as that sounds. They seem to know...

Heating pad recommendation if you do go that route: Snuggle Safe discs! They're about the size of a dinner plate and you pop them in the microwave for a few minutes and they stay warm for 8 hours or so. I had a couple from when I had a hedgehog but I've found that the furbabies are big fans as...

Halloween! As soon as the Target Halloween decorations come out I'm like "oooo! New home decor!"

Just echoing the general consensus of "do not touch" for a bit. Also, something that really helped my kitties adjust to my boyfriend was to turn the feeding over to him. Anytime he stayed the night and even when we moved in together, he was on feeding duty. It sounds silly but I really think...

I use this thing. I use the big bin for food and the smaller one holds treats. Bonus: the set comes in fun colors. :banana1:

Winston putting it ALL on display.

urgh, I feel like mine are SUPER embarrassing. Here goes: Artemis: Artie, Artie Cat, Princess, Fuzz Butt, "my beautiful girl", Munchkin, Baby Girl, Dumpling Winston: Winnie, Fancy Pants, Winnie Pooh, Winnie Poop, Poop Nugget, Poop Face (reserved for his more annoying moments), Chubster...

Big ol' orange tabbies! ... and yet I have a black cat and a mackerel tabby. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
