I've posted about my dearest cats Asti & Merlot years ago. Asti passed in 2021 & Merlot in 2016. I still find myself having random moments of an aching feeling when I think of them. Usually I focus on the good times, but recently I get pangs of grief and even guilt when I think of them. Maybe...

You came into my life as a birthday present when I was 12 years old. You were so cute & small, also covered in fleas. At first the vet told us you were a girl, but eventually we found that to be untrue. My family & I still laugh about that. You were only my second cat. The first was your...

Basically my cat has recently had several bouts of Pancreatitis that seemingly starts to go away when I feed him foods that include rabbit or duck, but when I put him back on his Hill's CD wet food (chicken), his flare ups start to happen again & he will begin having pain & defecation issues...

First, I will start off with some background information about my little buddy, Asti. He is almost 14 years old. 4 years ago, he began having urinary issues that resulted in stones. He had his first cystotomy in 2018. He did very well up until last year other than some constipation issues &...

Next month on the 14th, it will have been 8 months since my Merlot passed away. I really hate this achey feeling in my heart that I always have. Even though it's already been so long since it happened, I still find myself looking for him in all of his usual places. I pray every day that he knows...

My mom's cat is only maybe 2 years old. Today she told me that the cat had been vomiting & had not pooped since Saturday. She took her to the vet & got xrays & blood tests but everything was normal. I don't know exactly what blood tests she got done though. The vet only said he might have just a...

So Asti has been doing pretty well lately. But there has been a bit of strange behavior lately. I'm probably over thinking it, but I thought I'd get some opinions anyways. A few days ago he started sleeping basically allllll day. I mean A LOT. He still ate, drank, urinated/defecated his normal...

My cat Asti (9 years old) has had a habit of licking his nose for a while. Now it has gotten to an excessive point. What he does is lick his mouth, similar to how cats clean their mouths after they eat. After he licks his mouth for awhile, he seems like he's trying to direct it elsewhere & licks...

My 9 year old cat, Asti is still showing strange behavior. His brother, who he's been with for all of his life, died a little over a month ago. He saw his brother have a seizure before I rushed him to the Emergency Vet & had to let him go so I think he understood right away that his buddy was...

At 10 p.m. last night, my dad's cat (maybe 5 years old) suddenly started wobbling and acting "drunk" & looking sad. He has been very healthy up until that point. He eats & drinks normally & has used the litterbox since it happened. His back legs seem really weak & he's being very clingy. My dad...

My sweet cat, Asti (9 years old) he's been acting a little odd lately & I can't seem to get it off of my mind. His "brother" died less than a month ago & he seemed to be doing fine.I'm not sure if the behavior change is linked to it or not. First of all, he goes to different rooms & meows for...

Recently I've noticed some ear wax buildup in my cat, Asti's, ear. He scratches at his ears and face occasionally now. I was wondering about recommendations of ear cleaning solutions or wipes? He's never had buildup until now so I'm not sure of any good ones. I'm also really afraid of damaging...

I lost my first, precious cat (almost 10 years old), Merlot, at 3 this morning. I had to euthanize him because of saddle thrombosis. He was in awful condition. Just a week ago, he was running around & playing as normal. This was probably one of the most horrid experiences I've ever had. Does...

Merlot, my 10 year old cat, was having breathing problems starting Wednesday night & had not been eating or playing very much. I took him to the vet & got chest xrays. His bronchioles were inflamed & his hear was "slightly big." The vet prescribed 1 1/2 tablets of prednisolone & 1/2 a tablet of...

Last week my 10 year old cat stopped eating for a day. I got him to start eating again but after a week, he still was eating very little. Last night, he seemed to be panting & having trouble breathing. I took him to the vet & they did a chest xray. It showed that his lungs were inflamed & you...

For the last few days, I've noticed that one of my cats has been sleeping a lot more & is less alert. His eating, drinking, & litterbox routines are normal. He'll still get up & play every so often. Opinions??

My 8 year old cat threw up bile 18 times within two days. After the first day of it, he stopped eating or drinking anything so I took him to the vet. They ran blood work & said that everything looked really good & that he wasn't dehydrated. They gave him nausea medicine in hopes that he would...

Ever since I came back from visiting family for 2 days, my 8 year old cat has been overly-affectionate & constantly trying to grab my attention by meowing & getting into trouble. I go to visit family often so it isn't anything new for me to leave him. He also has another cat he's been with all...

Just a week ago, I took my 8 year old cat, Asti, to the vet for urinary tract problems. They said he didn't have a blockage & was just irritated. They gave him Amitriptyline & made me switch to Hill's Prescription cd diet. He started doing a lot better & peeing larger amounts. Now, all of a...

My 8 year old cat, Asti, has recently had trouble trying to pee so I took him to the vet thinking he may have a UTI. The last time I took him for this, the doctor gave him a shot & he was able to pee & went right back to his normal behavior. This time, I was told that there didn't feel like...
