    Older cat to young pup

    We've had our Himalayan cat, Meeko, for about 10 years now and he's about 10 and a half years old. He's always been the only pet in the house (except for a few fish in an aquarium) for the whole time. But two days ago a family member got a young, 8 week old Pug dog to go with him in the Truck...

    Grooming a Longhair

    Ok. Thank you for your advice. We worked on it again last night and he was surprisingly calm. We've almost got the mat all the way out (there is very little left). It's also hard to groom his stomach as he doesn't like being touched there at all (although some times he allows me to if he's in a...

    Grooming a Longhair

    My cat, Meeko, is a longhair Himalayan, is about 10 years old now and we're have trouble brushing him. He's never liked us brushing him, he always thinks it's a game and swats at us at the brush. Lately he's got some really bad mats that have made him cry out in discomfort. One time he ran...

    Need Help ASAP! Scared and possibly wounded

    We just gave him his last pill yesterday. He didn't have his 2nd last one, he kept spitting it out no matter how hard we tried, but we got the last on in. We usually give him a treat after he takes his pill, and when he didn't take his second last one he raced over to fridge, waiting for...

    Need Help ASAP! Scared and possibly wounded

    In case any of you still care, he drank and ate some toady. He is much better and he even tried to sneak outside when I took the garbage out.

    Need Help ASAP! Scared and possibly wounded

    We just gave him his pill for the night. We offered him some milk after, but he just sniffed it and turned away. Then I brought out some canned salmon, he sniffed it and licked his lips, but again, he turned away. So I put them both back into the fridge, and he whined at me. So I brought the...

    Need Help ASAP! Scared and possibly wounded

    I am glad to say that Meeko is sitting on my lap as I type this. He is no longer staying in one spot. He has been walking around the house a bit, looking for new places to retreat. And his hind legs have healed enough to jump on chairs and up on my bed. He still won't eat or drink, but I don't...

    Need Help ASAP! Scared and possibly wounded

    Yeah. I'll think about a fence, or leash, or something. I don't really have to worry about someone taking him since we live in a small town of less than 500 people, but it could always happen. He finally moved for the first time last night. He wandered to my bed and whined at me so I picked him...

    Need Help ASAP! Scared and possibly wounded

    He is a himalayan. And I didn't know that fact about purring. It's just that this morning when he was all shook up he wasn't purring at all. Anyways, he doesn't go outside all that much, and when he does he usually just sits on the deck. But he's been going outside since we got him and he really...

    Need Help ASAP! Scared and possibly wounded

    When he first got home he was looking for a place to hide. But I think the pain overwhelmed him and he just collapsed in a pile of clothes. The vet found two huge scratches on his backside, and a couple little ones here and there. He has to take pills at morning and night for a week and he...

    Need Help ASAP! Scared and possibly wounded

    When we pet him or even touch him near the neck he yells. I, unfortunately, could not be at the vet so I got someone to take him in. I will know more soon.

    Need Help ASAP! Scared and possibly wounded

    We sprayed our grass for dandelions a couple of days ago and we kept our cat in. But yesterday he snuck out. We noticed some hair missing from above his left eye last night but he was sleepy so we thought it was ok. But now this morning, his tail is straight down and he won't move it or lift...

    What do you think is proper care?

    Yeah, that is tough, but true. We don't want them to suffer, do we?

    Playing with my cat

    Ok Thanks alot! Our catnip is fairly old so we should probably buy new stuff. does the spray work as well as the real grass? What are the pros and cons to the spray? I have been looking for a laser pointer in stores everywhere and I only found one and it was about $50. I don't want to pay that...

    Playing with my cat

    I do rotate toys, and I use catnip every so often. Maybe I should use it a tad more though. And he has been in to the vet for shots and a check-up about a month ago.
