She's a Goddess! She was a runner up for Ms. Michigan and is always getting us stuff for the house even though we don't ask. She's so kind. Bright, too. I really lucked out in in-laws! I'm an ambitious person. Before my joints started completely falling apart (Severe Case of Hypermobility...

To those with supportive and cautionary messages, I appreciate your kindness. I've got it worked out now, thanks to a bit of networking. :p I've spoken to many breeders and maintain close friendships some local ones. I know it's not easy. I know about buying and selling and neo-nate care. I...

Hello, @Norachan. We seem to have a tiny misunderstanding here. I'm not great at communicating detail and whatnot online, and that was one heck of a long post. I'll try and make this one at least a bit briefer. Actually, brevity isn't my strongsuit, so I'll highlight the answers to your...

As some may remember, I've been planning a rescue/cattery hybrid, where the rescue is in part funded by the cattery, (every dime from every kitten, who will go home altered, will go to the rescue) and the cattery receives goodwill and publicity from the rescue, as well as the quality of cats I...

I'm proud to report that everyone's gums except the girl that wasn't eating are back to a lovely pink! The adult female that wasn't eating started eating well today. We may keep her because she's bonded heavily with me over the span of all of this, and she's a semi feral. She's always excited to...

I've tried many different toppers, cheese, crushed food/blended food with water. We haven't tried different food. We figured now would be a bad time to swap kibbles, and I've tossed every wet brand at her that I've seen in any of the pet stores here. Vet said it might be tapeworms. All the...

I've been on the lookout for any "rice" in the litter box. None that I've seen. So far, so good. Yeah, it's hard to have any sympathy for fleas. I'm a lover of biology, so I was trying to think of a good way to wipe them out without hurting any other species directly. It'd be easy to create...

Luckily, we've already seen a fair amount of improvement already. Their gums were chalk white yesterday, but some pink is already returning. We've genocided the fleas (I hope that joke wasn't too dark. I just really hate fleas. Do they even have an important ecological role? Would any species go...

Hmm. I wonder if I could get it best of both worlds... Don't cook it but run hot water over it (to make the liver scent stronger, so it's more enticing) chop it up into little pieces, and add it to a small bowl of food?

What are the pros and cons of feeding cats and kittens cooked vs. raw chicken livers? We got some kittens and a couple of adults in from a bad situation that had a lot of fleas, so many that most of them are anemic. We got them to a vet last night and she said that, along with the medicine she...

He already seems a little better after the shot. I forget what antibiotic it was, but it was clearly the potent stuff!

Update: Went back to the vet yesterday. They gave him a shot, and some eye and nose drops to go along with the usual antibiotic. We're going full tilt on this thing.

He's certainly become quite the larger than life figure. That picture doesn't really show his size well, and it can't show his personality to its fullest. I can see it, haha.

He's been on it for four days. It's just that he seems to be worsening, not improving. But then, if I remember my micro courses correctly, it's a gram negative bacteria, it would get worse before it gets better. He's just at a tender age. The little guy is just three months. I worry about him. I...

Has he ever shown any side of wobbliness or twitchiness? Or does he just seem weak? I lost a pair of sisters to a genetic neurological disease that sounds kind of like this, but I need more details.

I tried to include some of the whole crew. It's weird having an adult, a sub-adult, and a baby. Then, I'm getting another baby girl next autumn, from an extremely promising pairing. Trying to space it out a little. Old pic, but a great one. Diamond is really coming into her own. My...

One of the breeders I buy from, the one from whom I got my female, and from whom I'm buying my next (unrelated) female next year, is two states away, and there was never an issue. She didn't have to do anything special. It's no different from the in-state breeder I get my males from.

Alaska gets sadistic joy out of emasculating my husband. Yes, that is absolutely a heart made out of a kneaded eraser on the wall. I'm amazed by how long it's managed to stick there. I made it for my husband. 1776, Maine Coon style!

This little guy, Artcityclaws The Professional, AKA Leon, has a pretty nasty URI. The vet has us giving him Zpak and a decongestant. We're also using a humidifier and pedialyte, as my idea, but I want to do more. I want this thing gone. He's such a sweet baby and it kills me to see him sick...

First, love the name. A fascinating historical figure, and an excellent analytical mind. Second, that cat is a stud! His first litter of kittens with this queen will be next spring around her first birthday. Are you in the US? Still, I would advise you to adopt your first...
