Hello, all! My cat Beaker has been in our family since February and he's making himself quite comfortable here, so much so that he's been eating everybody's food. We are a multi cat household (three total) and do timed eating sessions four times a day. We portion their servings, generally...

Hello everyone, So my newest fur child, Beak, is settling in nicely. Since adopting him in February he's had this weird congestion problem on and off. We initially thought upper respiratory, which blows through most animal shelters at a given time, so we took him to the vet for two visits...

It's been almost two weeks since we adopted our youngest cat, Beaker. He's improved in leaps and bounds and getting to know him has been a treat. About a week ago we started integrating him into the rest of the household. He is playful and inquisitive, to a fault. Our oldest cat, Doodle has come...

I adopted another cat yesterday and I think he might be struggling with anxiety as he's been crying all night long. It's currently three am and I'm pretty wrecked. Hubby's up, too. I think I understand why he's this way, so I don't blame him. I can sympathize, after losing my cat Gimli (my best...

When my cat, Gimli, got sick I told my husband that if I lose him I don't want another cat. I swore up and down it couldn't be possible, but I'm finding my feelings on the topic have changed since losing Gimli to his unknown illness. My original position was that I could never love a cat like I...

I had to say goodbye to my cat on Friday. He had been diagnosed with diabetes and unfortunately, for some reason was very insulin resistant. I was waitlisted for an internist appt that couldn't come soon enough, and he went into ketoacidosis. I had the absolute best veterinarian on my side. We...

We adopted another cat into our multi cat household two months ago. He's a darling thing, pretty, loves to look out the window (spends hours there) and occasionally likes to be stroked, but he is the most introverted cat I've ever met. He doesn't react to his name, which is fair because he's...

I have an adult cat (8 years) who was diagnosed with diabetes, he was treated with Lantus and diabetic food and went into remission today. He's been on antibiotics for liver inflammation for a little over a week. Recently he's looked weak, his legs are wobbly (possibly neuropathy/arthritis) and...

Hello! It's been a long time since I've logged on but I'm back with a question that's been bugging me. I have three cats, my baby is Gimli. He's so fat and handsome. But he has weird toes on one paw and it causes him issues at times. When I found him as a kitten I was certain he had a broken...

My cat is now a year old and he's having difficulties with what I assume is a hairball. He's been dry heaving every now and then for the last few days but nothing ever comes of it. It's awful watching him in discomfort. Today I noticed he's sounding a bit congested and he's sneezed a few times...

After losing our cat to FLV, my fiance and I decided to take in a foster cat. The experience has been interesting to say the least. I offered to take a cat who may have behavioral or confidence issues. The cat we have is a sweet little thing, maybe a year old with no real history other than that...

Our FLV positive cat has recently had scabs and scratches showing up around his face and neck. A few days ago we found a large gouge-looking wound had appeared on his cheek. Feeling certain he must be injuring himself on something in the basement, I scoured every room and "cat-proofed' things...

Hello everyone! I haven't posted on here in a while. I have two cats that are rescues, one I rescued a few years ago, the other just last summer. They are both doing well, however I've been having some problems. I just moved into a new place with my fiance about a month ago. Before, our FeLV...

I'm SwampMonster, I haven't been on in awhile because of how busy life has been for me. I'm happy to say my adult male is back to his former self and full of life.   I am very relieved about that. However, I have something else to worry about now.  A few weeks back we rescued a small stray...

I am a new member and I have some concerns about my cat, I was hoping that someone on this forum may share a similar experience. I am the proud owner of a rescue cat. I rescued him from the countryside when he was six weeks old. He is now a two year old male, and is a carrier of FLV (despite...
