What is a "rat eye"? (My guess is typo. They happen to everybody.) That's a tough one. Are there any treats that he's fond of? For drinking, have you tried the water tuna is packed in? Some cats may think KMR (Kitten Milk Replacer) is comfort food, and if he's one of them it has the added...

Classic, double beef, no cheese, avocado, tomato, catsup, mayonnaise.

D. No catsup, salt on the side so I can dip my fries in it (I get more salt that way, and I'm under doctor's orders to get lots of salt, to prevent dangerously low blood pressure - the last year has been weird, medically speaking).

Wait, you want your cats to destroy your beautiful cedar trunk?! Why? I have a feeling we're missing something here. Are you really talking about turning the trunk into a giant litter box, or did you perhaps want to turn it into an enclosure for one or two litter boxes? The former wouldn't...

I don't know what "staging" and "ranking" mean in this context. I do know that my cataracts were extremely small - I probably could have waited another ten years to have them removed if not for their location. One was right smack in the center of my pupil. Therefore, that one had to come out...

@denice , have you heard of GoodRX? I have GoodRX Gold, but there's also a free one. You can use GoodRX to search for the best price on a drug, and you can use it as a sort of discount card for drugs. I pay $10/month for Gold, and that includes family members, even pets. Not all pharmacies...

I remember when I was 12 telling my mother that I didn't want to be a teenager, because as far as I could tell teenagers were crazy.

They should have a bunch of little holes on the sides to let air through. You'll be able to tell when you see them.

Well, I've found that squinting while driving just doesn't work well. I don't wear sun glasses because I "should"; I wear them because it hurts when I don't.

I recommend a pair of safety goggles instead, the kind that are supposed to go over glasses and use elastic to stay in place: Amazon.com The things the surgeon's office supplies are awkward and uncomfortable. This kind of safety goggle will do the trick at least as well as what the surgeon...

I had both of mine removed in, um, either late 2012 or early 2013. Best advice for you, @FeralHearts , is to get your mother a pair of safety goggles, the kind that are supposed to go over glasses and use elastic to stay in place: Amazon.com After the surgery they'll want her eyes protected so...

Adolescence runs from around 6 months to about 2 years in cats, so that's likely part of it. The important thing is that it doesn't really natter why it's happening; none of the possible causes are dangerous (no one's heard of fur patterns becoming more distinct because a cat has cancer, for...

Was he emaciated when you got him? A long time ago I had a black domestic long hair named Velvet who got into the trash can and ate the string that had been tied around a Thanksgiving turkey. The first we knew about it was when she started turning white and losing weight. The vet couldn't find...

@Paul9856 , I've never dealt with breast cancer, in humans or cats, so I shouldn't and won't give advice about that. The one thing I will say is that if the current vet is giving you bad vibes you should go with your gut instinct. If it's at all possible, find a different vet.

Thanks, @AbbysMom .

You've lost a family member. That hurts. More, that's supposed to hurt. Do your grief work; it's necessary for your own mental health. If that means crying then cry. And remember, TCS has members worldwide, in all time zones, and all of us know how hard it is to lose a cat. There are always...

Okay, I'll ask her. In the meantime, try searching YouTube for "using a drop spindle" (and similar things). Trust me - you do not want to go shopping for a spinning wheel. It would be much more expensive, as well as less portable. A drop spindle is the way to go. And forget everything you...

If you like I'll ask my friend for tips on how to get started. I suspect it requires a teacher.

Speaking seriously for a moment, have you ever spun your own yarn? I have a friend with a drop spindle who's called dibs on all the fur I can brush off of Jasmine, because it makes such fantastic yarn.

Oh, goody! Pre-snagged yarn decorated with feline undercoat fluff! A stellar addition to your stash.
