Within the past year, my two beloved geriatric cats (litter mates) died. It was brutal. I had them since they were kittens, and they were so cooperative and docile. I was therefore spoiled/naive in my expectations from cats. They let me bathe them, clean their ears and teeth, check their...

Yikes! Somehow I just deleted my entire post. Paragraphs... Oh. My. Goodness. *facepalm* Stay tuned. Abbreviated recap coming soon...

I don't even know where to begin. I'm still grieving the loss of my 15 year old cat, Liz, who I posted about on here a few weeks ago. It so gutted me that I couldn't even return here to update yet or post on the rainbow bridge page. I was still deeply devastated I needed time. Instead, I'm...

I'm hoping someone can give me some urgent feedback as we will have to make a decision on whether or not to let 16 year old Liz go later this evening. She had been acting weak and lethargic and walking timidly for a few days, and so we took her into the emergency vet yesterday. Kidney counts...

We have two 15 year old cats, both with health issues increasing as they age. Liz has gradually escalating kidney dysfunction as is common in older cats, but she has also gotten progressively blind over the past year, due to detached retinas. The theory is this is connected to the high blood...

Please help. I need some advice as soon as possible if anyone has any insight. Gus my 16 year old cat who's has issues in the past with fleeting bouts of acute/chronic pancreatitis that self corrected after months, and hasn't caused issues in 4 years. I live in part of the U.S. with a big...

We're at a one step forward, one step back place with our sweet 15-year-old Liz, and while I certainly plan to re-involve veterinarian this weekend, I'm just looking for some reassurance and anecdotal feedback in the meantime. Earlier this spring, we noticed that she'd gone blind in one eye...

My 14-year-old female cat (very sorry and energetic despite he geriatric age) has looked a little odd to me lately and I couldn't pinpoint why. Only tonight did I realize only one of her pupils is glowing its regular yellowish green in the light, but the other looked plain black. I felt up a...

Hi, all. Late last year I took my 14-year-old cat Liz in for an exam of a soft growth behind her ear. The vet lanced it, and it drained pus, which the vet medicated and called a benigh cyst (she didn't do a biopsy because it was just pus). Shortly thereafter it came back and has remained the...

I just noticed a few days ago that Liz, my 13-year-old cat, is missing (maybe actively losing?) hair on one of her toes on her hind leg. She and her brother are 100% indoor cats and we don’t have any flea issues. It isn’t red and doesn’t appear infected or swollen. No one in our apartment –...

We just learned that the cause of some long-standing symptoms I've been experiencing and likely the respiratory issues my two 12-year-old littermate cats have been exhibiting are due to a horrible mold problem in our apartment. The mold remediation process happened today, but some residual...

I've been working with a neighbor to get a simply beautiful and sweet stray cat (female DSH maybe 8-10 months)  to a rescue. I have several rescues who have offered to take her in (yes, I've done research to make sure they're legitimate and up to par). Unfortunately, due to various preventative...
