    Feral cat stopped using the shelter

    Hey, I've had three shelters on my deck for a few years. I clean them and put them out before it gets cold. I've noticed lately, that my one semi-feral cat, Kitty, stopped using the shelter. This morning I woke up to 6" of snow. I put some dry food out in the container by the back door and...

    January ear itchies

    My cat, Sweetie, will be 4 in March. EVERY January, she scratches right by her ear until she works up a sore spot that bleeds. I've been keeping a close eye on her, and dang it, this morning, she had dug her left ear and there was a bloody spot. She is almost all white, so it's pretty easy to...

    FHV-1 cat is lonely

    I only have one cat now. At one point, I had six. The one left, Spot, has always had the chronic sneezing and runny eyes associated with feline herpes virus. None of the other kitties ever had it or caught it from him. He's around 12 years old. He was a stray I bought in back in 2007. Now...

    My Sweet Missy and the Rainbow Bridge

    My sweet old girl, (my avi) Missy, who was my best friend for 18+ years finally crossed the rainbow bridge on October 20th.  It was her time, and I was there with her at the vet's office.  She was supposed to be a gift for my 5 year old niece back in 1997.  I brought her home, and my niece...

    Is it time?

    My Missy (see avatar) is over 18 and in the past week has declined in health. Two Sundays ago, she vomited all day, but then started eating again, and I started giving her smaller meals more often and she was good all week.  Then the past Sunday, she vomited up everything she ate and didn't...

    Spot gets dental work!

    This past month has not been a stellar cat month for me.   I lost the stray cat, Jasmine, to seizures and gave her kittens up to a foster.  Then my Sammy had to be put down when the vet discovered he had a squamous cell cancerous tumor under his tongue.  Last Saturday, someone ran over one of...

    My Sammy O Sammy

    I miss my boy so much.  I can't stop crying.  He wasn't supposed to leave me so soon.  My boy.  My sweet, sweet boy.  I'm so sad. I noticed he wasn't right about a week ago and when I took him to the vet, they found a large tumor under his tongue.  I had to put down my boy.  Nothing could have...

    Opinions on cat licking back by his tail and a blood spot

    Sammy is around 11 years old.  He is OCD with the compulsive obsessive barbering.  He's had that for years.  His lower belly is very clean.  Yesterday, I was doing laundry.  When I went in my room to put the sheets back on the bed, there were some blood spots where he was laying.   I found a...

    Arthritic cats and litter boxes

    I have an 18 year old cat. (see avatar although that's a few years old)  She was having trouble getting into a litter box.  She is a petite little thing and only weighs 6#.  She was peeing around in other places.  I had to figure something out.  She didn't want to go into the basement anymore...

    Jasmine, the stray who is obsessed by her babies and won't leave them

    Crazy!  I brought in a pregnant stray about a week ago.  Last Friday, she decided to have the kittens in my spare bedroom in the corner under the bed.  So funny that our stories are almost the same. Jasmine, as I call her, will not leave her kittens.  She wouldn't eat or pee or drink water.  I...
