Ming is finally back home! I'm still trying to deal with his diabetes and finding the right dose (which is ever-changing as you know if you have a cat with diabetes). He's also on steroids now which is a big no-no for diabetics but Ming's been through too much and it was time to try the...

Hi everyone :) This post will be loooong. And what I'm really hoping for by posting Ming's situation is to gather input from everyone since everyone has had different experiences with their cats. I love the cat community and I think it's incredible the amount of knowledge there is amongst us...

Ming has a slew of issues at the moment. He's in the hospital right now getting treated for pancreatitis. He's diabetic, has chronic pancreatitis, and now he is most likely asthmatic too. Vet is confirming with the ultrasound/radiograph specialist but it's pretty clear to them that there's...

Hello! I haven't been on this site in ages! I loved TheCatSite and was online all the time. Anyway... I recently was successful in transitioning my cat to frozen raw. Right now, he eats the frozen pork nuggets from Primal plus the freeze dried versions when I'm not able to watch him eat as I...

Hello! Recently, my favourite vet disappeared from the clinic (I've been trying to look for her all over the internet and am always on the look out for her at work since she shops there) and I always felt like whatever tests she orders for my cat, would not be done unnecessarily. However, two...

Hi everyone! It's been a while since I've been on the forum! Up until now, everything with my cat, Ming, has been amazing. He eats 3 - 4 times a day, is active (as active as a big lazy cat is), and became more confident than he already was in the beginning (he used to only follow me around but...

Where I work, I get a few customers that ask me, "Where are the dogs?" or "Do you sell dogs and cats?" And the answer is "No. The city doesn't allow the selling of dogs and cats anymore." So I had a conversation with a customer the other day about this. And he vaguely expressed his disagreement...

I have been helping my friend who is cat sitting for another friend for over a month now. I'd love to hear some of your experiences with this particular situation and any information or pointers on what kinds of food we can feed Miu, the cat, would be awesome too! It's a long story! Miu...

Today was so beautiful and a nice change from the usual grey and rainy weather we get here. Ming was feeling particularly outdoorsy so we went for a walk! Here are a few photos and a video. Sniffing the flowers! He jumped onto the barbecue. I'm guessing he wants me to grill him some...

I've read a few posts about Sheba made in the past but I would love to hear what are some people's thoughts on Sheba now. I do feed Ming Sheba once in a while when I go down to the US (they don't sell it here in Canada) and I'm debating if I should buy it in bulk online. I'd like to add it to...

Recently I've noticed Ming scratching at his right ear and today, it was drooping a little more than usual. So I went to check and found it looked dirty with brown gunk. I got a big Q-tip (not the small ones, but the ones with the big knobs) and put some ear solution on it and cleaned his ear. I...

I don't think they sell Hounds & Gatos food here where I live but I travel to the US (around Bellingham and even Seattle) sometimes and I'm wondering where I can buy it? Their website doesn't help  I know I can order it online but I'm not sure if Ming will eat it so I'd like to buy a can or two...

Hi! So I was exploring YouTube and found a video someone made about the Cat Sanctuary that I volunteer at. I thought I'd share this wonderful place with you all. I love this place. It's beautiful, relaxing, and full of happy and well-cared for cats. No cat is ever euthanized (except if it's...

I'm sure this is a topic most of us pet owners think about time and time again: people abandoning their animals for "bad" reasons or no reasons at all.  I recently started a new job at a pet store and I heard that someone left two cats at the groomers, meaning they never picked them up after...

Is anyone here a VOA? Or working as an assistant to a vet?  I've recently been rethinking my career goals and working with animals is something I'm thinking about doing (my mother's going to flip as I've just spent the last 5 years working towards an English degree...   oh well! Life changes...

Hi everyone! My friends and I are attempting to rehome two cats, Princess and King. Right now, we have a foster home for them and I believe King hasn't used the litter box in 24 + hours. I'm wondering if this means it's an emergency and it's time to bring him into the vet. He is much more...

I keep making the mistake of buying a too-large costume for Ming and this is usually what happens!   My parents are the ones speaking Cantonese and they're just laughing at him and asking why he's doing that. It was obviously traumatizing for him so I gave him lots of treats after.  Well...

I've just started volunteering at my local cat shelter and boy, the claws on the resident cats are SHARP! They go right through my jeans when they're wanting some lap time. Anyone have any ideas on what to wear? At this point, I'm tempted to wear an apron to protect myself 

I visited my local cat sanctuary which houses almost 450 rescued cats and took some photos! It's a wonderful (secret) place and all the cats look so happy.  This is Daisy. She's a special cat that was found after being hit by a vehicle. They believe she might have the cat version of down...

Long time no see! I missed TCS! I've been so busy with school and work (and my cat)  I've been bringing Ming over to my grandparent's house about every week - sometimes twice a week - because my grandpa suffers from Alzheimer's and one of the things that always gets him out of his room and...
