This is a repost from the stray/feral site. I'm posting for my sister. She has a cat that likes to hang out on her porch, it always has looked healthy and well fed so we assumed it was a neighbor's cat who roamed the area. However, the cat is still on her porch despite the cold and icey rain...
I'm posting for my sister. She has a cat that likes to hang out on her porch, it always has looked healthy and well fed so we assumed it was a neighbor's cat who roamed the area. However, the cat is still on her porch despite the cold and icey rain. She wants to set up an emergency shelter...
My four year old cat named Charlie (who is a large and domineering looking guy) seems to be bullying our six month old kitten, named Marco specifically when Marco is using the litter box (In the pictures, Charlie is the black cat, Marco is the gray/white tabby). We've seen Charlie pounce once...
Our upstairs room has a stairwell in the middle resulting in two half walls and a long drop to the bottom of the sairs. This normally hasn't been a problematic place for our cats as they usually just sleep on the walls. However, our youngest kitten Marco has decided the walls make great...
Monday I noticed my cat was vomiting and eventually by the evening she was lethargic and vomiting after eating so we took her in to the vetnon Tuesday. Nothing on blood work and x-ray and ultrasound were so filled with gas they couldn't see anything. So we took her home, restricted her food to...
We recently brought a 3.5 month old kitten into family, making us a family of a kitten and two resident adult cats. We've descended into chaos, with kitten eating adult food and adults eating kitten food and humans having no idea who's eating what or how much. We typically have given a portion...
This is my new boy Marco (little over three months old). He's so sweet and so cute but I have no idea how to describe his coloring beyond saying he has white, gray, and black fur. Is there a describing name? l also just want to show off my handsome boy
We agreed to foster a 2 year old cat (Trinity) at the start of our state's stay at home order went into place (I posted earlier about her on some biting issues that have resolved, except for the occasional overstimulated nips). I really would like to adopt this girl, but so far the...
Due to my state going to a stay at home order our shelter was trying to get all their cats and dogs into foster homes. My husband and I agreed to take a cat, I'm hoping this can be a forever home (husband is reluctant, our other cat Neil passed away in October and we've been experiencing our...
My calico has a small pea sized bump on her shoulder. I haven't been able to get a good visual on it due to her fur and dislike of my attempts to brush her against the grain. I'm feeling anxious about, all the worse case scenarios are running though my head. But I also just lost my Neil...
So we took Neil in one week after his acute renal failure crisis. Kidney numbers are back to being high, he's still anemic, and still dehydrated. The vet suspects there's something going on with his bone marrow, maybe the lymphoma? Over the weekend he did okay initially, but slowly decreased...
I have a post below about increasing calories in my elderly cat, Neil. He was going steady but deteriorated over the weekend resulting in us having to hospitalize him for IV fluids. This evening the vet she thought it was likely lymphoma (and maybe kidney disease). So new questions, new post...
Our old man cat (Neil, age 11 something maybe, we don't know for sure) started having stomach problems (vomiting, losing weight, not eating as much. lethargy) about three months ago, we've been to the vet numerous times and are now at the point where he's on B12, has prescription food for kidney...
Our older cat has this skin irritation that seems to be getting worse. There's been some mild scabs in the area for the past two weeks but I only noticed them when petting him. Yesterday and then today the area has lost fur and looks more inflamed. We don't see him scratching and his behavior...
My older cat has been sneezing for the last two weeks. On Friday I noticed a change in his eating and more distress so I took him to the vet. The vet checked him out and said it was likely an URI and gave him antibiotics, she didn't see any other concerns. Then this weekend he became...
My (estimated) 10 year old cat was diagnosed with hyperthyroidism a few weeks ago and we attempted to administer the transdermal tapazole, but the poor guy had the side-effect where his face got extremely itchy and we discontinued the medication after he started making himself bleed from...
Last September an older stray cat adopted us, and although he loves the humans of the house, he can not get comfortable with the two other cats. Hisses, growls, spends all night yelling at them, and urinates in fun places like the bedroom, kitchen, family room exc... We've taken him to the vet...
We were adopted by an older stray cat in September who was extremely dehydrated and malnourished. I'm becoming more concerned our old man may have some sort of kidney problems. He drinks ALL the time but when you do the pinch the skin on the back of his neck test it is slow to go down. He...
Last Friday, my husband I noticed a orange tabby cat hanging out on our back porch and hasn't left. She (he?) seems to leave around dusk but is back by the time we leave for work. The cat was very friendly (immediately came up to us meowing, purring, heading butting us), but she's skinny...
A while back ago I remember seeing a website that broke down ingredients of cat food brands so you could compare and contrast. I know this website listed which brands used by-products vs. human grade meat exc...but I can't find it. Does anyone know of any site that may have this...
