Hey guys. I am at my wit's end. I'm an old poster who's had cats all my life, but here I am stumped by this... Pia has never been a perfect litter box user. She can't be allowed on anything with carpet or she will poop on it. That's how it is. She has 2 boxes, both of which I scoop every day...

Hey guys. So my kitty had a tooth pulled about a week ago, and I'm wondering if it's itchy as they heal? I've never had one pulled. She's "scratching" her cheek and neck with her back legs a lot the past couple days. She doesn't appear to be doing any actual damage. I've checked her fur...

Hey everyone! Have a question about my kitty's heart issues and diagnosis if anyone can help? Pia is currently 6 years old, and has had no other health issues. About a year and a half ago, a vet found a Grade 3 heart murmur in my kitty, and after a scan, diagnosed her with non-obstructive HCM...

Hi guys. Update from this thread about finding a heart murmur in Pia at a routine exam: http://www.thecatsite.com/t/321299/heart-murmur-im-worried-advice So I got her the heart scan, and it's hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM). I'm freaked out. From the research I'm doing, treatment options seem...

Hey everyone. It's been a long time! I wish I was posting again for better reasons... So Miss Pia has just been diagnosed with a Grade 3 heart murmur. She's 4 and a half, and I've never been told she had a murmur before. And I'm kinda freaking out. She was scared at the vet, but then, she...

Hey folks. I need your help. I'm going to attempt to introduce my kitty Pia, and my dad's cat Kittiot. He passed away last month, and he had concerns about how well Pia would do with her, and I thought I had found her a new home. For some background, you can scan my thread here. Cat Needs Home...

So Pia has been a bit perplexing lately. I started her on frozen pre-made raw quite a while ago. She took to it right away. I started by mixing it with the Fancy Feast she came to me eating from the shelter, and she ate AROUND the wet food and only ate the raw. Obviously she must have liked it...

Hi, guys. I'm hoping maybe you can help me out or give me some advice for rehoming a kitty in Minneapolis. I've already contacted a no-kill I adopted from, as well as a friend involved in cat rescue. I am trying to sound as many horns as I can, because finding the right home is not going to be...

Hey, folks. I don't know where to put this exactly, but it has to do with cat genetics, so I guess I'll put it here? Mods, feel free to move it if there's a better spot. Cats are thought to have originally come from African wildcats, although small wildcats exist in most places in the world. It...

Hey, guys. I am wondering if I could get your input. Now, obviously, what Pia is, is a gorgeous example of a moggie cat.  Here's another of her dead-on. I think it's almost more visible in this one, the crease in her nose. And here's Pia taking a nap after destroying some spam mail that...

So I have a question that's more a curiosity. Pia has been examined and is fit as a fiddle. What is that terrible smell that cats sometimes excrete, and why do they do it? I first noticed it on Pia shortly after I took her home. I thought she needed a bath, but then it was gone. And I noticed...

So I am very likely to be moving out of country permanently in the mid-term future, and I'm a little concerned about my Pia kitty. As far as she is concerned, she's had at least 7 "homes" in under 2 years. 1. Her first, where she was abandoned. I don't mean she was brought to a shelter. I mean...

Wondering if anyone can offer me insight to this? So I have a generally lovely kitty named Pia. She's a 1 1/2 year old DSH, spayed, and has perfect litter box habits. I adopted her a couple months ago. Today was perfectly ordinary. Wake up, food, pets, hanging out with me at my desk, I went to...

Hey, guys. I'm a relatively new raw feeder, and I have some cat grass that's just about ready to be put down. I have been reading a lot about bone and how cat's stomachs deal with it, and in some cases, how they fail to. The latter is what I want to avoid. I've also read that one of the...

My kitty Pearl passed away about 2 months ago. She had numerous health problems by that time, and she was euthanized at home with me. I thought the worst of my grief was over, but I had a terrible dream last night. I had a dream that, in her final months as she began to slide into serious...

Hi, everyone! I live in Minneapolis, which has recently been hit by one hell of a storm system. Trees down all over, power out for thousands of people even 3 or 4 days later, and I was really frustrated by the fact that this meant I couldn't hit up my usual suspects for frozen cat food, because...
