I have no idea where to put this, but I'll try here. I have four cats, am in my sixties, but in good health, but unfortunately there's no one to take care of my cats if something happens to me. Pet trusts only work if you have a caretaker. It's starting to limit my willingness to do things...

Hi I'm just going to post this video. This is what my cat did for years and I always thought it was hairballs like the creator does. What made me realize it wasn't was switching to lightweight litter and the dust pushed these attacks into overdrive. What cat asthma looks like

Daisy is the stray who spent last winter in my garage, that I trapped and got inside in April, spent six weeks in my kitchen before I could get her in a carrier and (finally) joined the family in May. Daisy luvvvvs other cats, so she is happy as can be with her new companions. I still can't...

Does anybody remember Neko Flies Cat toys? Bummer they aren't making them anymore.

I don't see this listed in the other articles, but it is what our local e-clinics use for funding care for people who can't afford it The Veterinary Care Foundation pools money from donors to pay for veterinary care for those who can't afford it. Donors can specify what clinic their monies can...

I hope this is the right forum for this, my apologies to the mods if not. I just wanted to give people a real life example of the costs of insurance over a decade and what happens to the premiums. My Insurer: Embrace First Policy Purchased: 2013 For 3 Orphaned Kittens at 3 months. Premiums...

The good news after 4 solid months of feeding and several trap fails I was able to close the kitchen door before my stray escaped. Yeah! Right now though I feel bad because s/he’s terrified. S/he talks to me all the time, but now s/he’s just meow-moaning. Has quieted down some. It’s little...

Hi. I have been feeding/housing a stray for four months straight. I can sit several feet away while he eats twice a day and we have daily conversations, but that’s about it as far as getting close to him. I have been sticking my hand out the door with it mostly closed while he is eating. He...

Hi, during the summer I noticed a new teenage cat the yard. Assumed it had a home but fall came and it was still hanging out. So I started to feed it about a month ago. Anyway, we have our schedule down and it talks to me, but I’ve never gotten close to petting it. Over the past week I had...

Hi. I have been feeding a stray for a few weeks. My question is I was wondering how late cats can have kittens in my area (Zone 4b)? I’m always afraid of trapping a mom-cat (I can’t see any signs of nipples on this cat, but I haven’t gotten that close) or not trapping a pregnant cat before it...

I lost her father to oral squamous cell carcinoma about a year ago. Her chin is getting bigger and bigger. I was thinking it was just acne. I bottle fed her and her two brothers. Trapped and brought in the mother and father later. I see cats living 17-21 years now, but I have not been so...

Hi. This morning Zoe showed zero interest in eating. A few hours later she threw up a hairball and I was relieved. Then I went to feed her dinner and same thing - no interest. She has had a larger than normal appetite the past month which I found concerning. I took her to the e-vet and they...

Hello. I've taken my cat to the vet, but I just am searching to see if anyone has seen anything similar. My cat has been gagging and either producing a small amount of bile or nothing at all. It's not a cough. I would put it similar to a hairball problem. He is eating and peeing and...

She hasn’t been outside at all. She plays pretty crazy with her chase toys. I noticed she was limping slightly earlier but now she can’t put any weight on it at all. I can put her in a playpen until the morning - the evet is full right now. Any opinons much appreciated.

I took in a stray about a month ago now. Things are going fabulously and she's integrated into our home nicely. The problem is she won't shut-up and I can't decide if she's in heat. I mean at first it was understandable because I kept her segregated in a bedroom, but now she'll meow for 10...

I just caught this cat I've been feeding for two months. Long story short, is there a way to tell if there's kittens somewhere??? I can't handle him/her yet. I don't see any sign of lactation, but then again I can't see her belly because she's medium haired. Tonight was a big surprise as...

Hi All. I have been feeding a stray for two months now. I would like to trap it, and I'm looking for advice in that regard, specifically I'm worried that it is a girl and might have kittens?I live in upstate NY. Does kitten season start this early? Would it be better to wait? It's long...

There’s a cat hanging around with really long hair to just behind it’s shoulders to medium long on the back of it’s body. Is there such a thing as a cat coat with different lengths?

Well I”m ending the year with 2 kitties after starting it with 4, it’s been a heck of a year. The two remaining I bottle fed from 1 day old. They had various stomach problems when they were very young. The one I’m writing about is an 8 year old female. She’s been on pred for vomiting and...

I hade this posted on someone’s rainbow thread and realized it was inappropriate - those are for support and condolences. But I put my beloved cat to sleep today and was over here in the crossing thread. I came across a euth at home gone wrong story and it triggered what happened to my my...
