We lost one year old Mia to FIP two months ago. five months before that, we lost fifteen year old Princess to complications from HCM and hyperthyroid/liver disease. Needless to say it’s been rough for us, but we are slowly healing and for us that includes adopting a new family member. Currently...

We lost our kitty Princess in November of 2018 due to complications from multiple concurrent diseases, all of which we tried to treat but just got worse. A month after her passing, we felt ready enough to open our hearts to a new cat. Mia found us at the rescue. While we were looking at and...

Hi all, We adopted Mia on 12/5. She is 8 months old. Her stools were normal for the first 2 weeks or so, but have degenerated gradually into full-on severe diarrhea, which has been really bad in the past week. On 12/22 (Sat) we visited the vet for a stool sample and the results came back today...

Hi Cat Friends. On 11.11 we lost our dear Princess. We have been looking to incorporate another family member, and we wound up falling in love over the weekend at a local cat rescue with Mia, a black & white tuxedo cat about 8 months old, rescued from a kill shelter in NJ. She is an absolute...

Hi cat friends, It's been just over a week since we lost our P, and already (I know...too soon probably) my husband and I are thinking about adopting another cat. We have wanted another for a long time, but with P's health problems and being a senior lady, we knew it had to wait. Our current...

I had been posting in cat health and receiving so much support there, but i’m sad to say we had to make the heartbreaking decision to put Princess (Pcess, P) to sleep last night. She had comorbid HCM and thyperthyroid, along with liver inflammation and pancreatitis. 11/10 we had a feeding tube...

Not sure where to post this! Thankfully our Princess is still with us, but she has major health challenges and as such, major bills. Has anyone here had the experience of paying off bills for their angel kitties? How hard is it, when you are slammed with a vet bill trying to save them, and end...

Hi cat friends, Here I am again--when I'm at my wit's end and not sure what to do I'm glad I can come here for support, if nothing else. Our 15 year-old tabby Princess (P) has a host of problems: HCM (hypertrophic cardiomyopathy) diagnosed in Feb Medications to treat: Enalapril/enoxaparin...

Our 15 year old cat was diagnosed with HCM (hypertrophic cardiomyopathy) following two blood clots in Feb/Mar 2018. After 1st clot she was prescribed plavix and enalapril and she had another clot in her leg 1 month later. She was then prescribed enoxaparin sodium along with the enalapril (no...

Hi Cat friends, I'm so glad this site exists when I need some guidance from cat lovers. My 15 year-old female cat was diagnosed earlier this year with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. She threw 2 clots in Feb and March, after the one in March we switched out Plavix for Enoxaparin sodium, the most...

Hi cat friends, I posted here a little over a month ago saying that my girl Princess had been limping, and a trip to the e-vet detected a heart murmur. Since then, she's had two echocardiograms, 3 other vet visits, and a diagnosis of HCM - hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. Her limp was a blood clot...

Hey kitty lovers, it's been awhile but I'm back hoping for some advice & encouragement. I posted a bit here almost 4 years ago when my Princess was going thru hepatic lipidosis--a feeding tube saved her life. She is now 14 and despite gaining back all her weight (expected) and returning to her...

I am posting not so much for advice on what to do, but for some "comfort" because I am feeling so horrible. Last night around 11 pm I was leaving the bedroom to come out and watch a tv show with my boyfriend. All of a sudden my one-year old male tabby (Max) very quickly attacked my leg, hissed...

I made a post about two weeks ago here about my cat Princess' diagnosis of hepatic lipidosis- fatty liver disease. After our initial FAILS at syringe feeding by mouth we decided to have a feeding tube put in. That was done on Friday September 5. She stayed at the hospital from Thurs the 4th...

Hi everyone, I am not one to post on message boards but I've read a lot of posts here and it seems like a great place to interact with other cat lovers/owners and get some good advice and support. I lost my 11 year old Frodo to hyperthyroid in May. I still have an 11 year old tabby named...
