    CRF/CKD cat peeing outside box - any way to curb this?

    We discovered recently that one of our two 8 year old cats, Chloe, very likely has chronic kidney disease (renal failure). Part of what prompted the vet visit a couple of weeks ago was finding cat pee in our living room, which we'd never experienced before. My research tells me that...

    Never asked before but need them now - vibes for my dad please

    My mom called me at work today to let me know my dad had a heart attack this morning. He had taken the day off of work, so he was home alone, but thankfully was able to call the paramedics himself. He's in the ICU (and is across the country from me) so I can't talk to him. It's really hard...

    Beware - personal experience with crime!

    Please see this link for information on how to help prevent wallet and purse theft: http://www.ci.seattle.wa.us/police/p...ips/wallet.htm Someone grabbed my purse from me Sunday afternoon in broad daylight in a supermarket parking lot. I'm one of those people that's kind of hyerparanoid about...

    Sedating cats for 2-day drive

    My husband and I are moving from San Diego to Seattle next month and are anxious about moving our kitties. We'll be driving and neither of our girls are good travelers. They cry the whole way to the vet - a mere 2 miles away from our house. We expect the drive will take about 2 days. Our vet...

    Washington/NW USA TCSers - advice please

    Hi all! DH and I grew up in Kitsap Co, went to WWU, and lived in King Co for a short time, but we've been living in San Diego, CA for the last 3 years. We decided we want to come back to WA and purchase a home. As far as areas we're pretty flexible - would like to stay in the Puget Sound area -...

    Good vibes for Iris please - vet trip tomorrow

    I've been MIA most of this week because on Monday evening Iris (white/orange kitten) took a tumble, bad enough to warrant a trip to the emergency vet clinic. They aren't sure if Iris just sprained her leg or if she's torn something, but tomorrow we are going for a follow-up appointment with our...

    When to break them up?

    Iâ€8482ve been reading as many threads as I can about determining play fighting vs. real fighting. I want to make sure I understand this correctly, so please let me know if Iâ€8482ve got this right. Itâ€8482s okay to let them go until: major growling or hissing occurs during the tussle...

    Welcome, Iris! Our new addition!

    We adopted a sweet 6 month old kitty on Thursday named Iris. She has two different colored eyes: blue and gray/green. (Sorry for the fuzzy picture.) She was about 5 month at the time the picture was taken. Fortunately her foster mom was able to put some weight on her, as she was quite...

    Should be an only cat?

    When we adopted Chloe we were told by the foster mom that Chloe "doesn't do well with other cats". Apparently she spent the whole time hissing, crying, and was generally distraught around the other cats in the house. She only tolerated her mom and 2 brothers. (You can see in this video how...

    Adapting to wearing a collar (kitten)?

    I tried to do a search but wasn't successful...if there are threads on this already, please point me in the right direction. I finally got Chloe one of those elastic/stretchy collars since the break-aways are too big for her little neck. Since she is only 4 months old I want her to get used to...
