Hello, Currently have a blue plastic tarp I put on bed after we (Abby, Ruby and me) get up. IBD Ruby consistently uses bed for poop, never pee. I used to be able to get those waterproof covers and let cats use bed. Now I can't keep up with wash and use a blue tarp. They won't use bed except for...

I have Ruby and Abby. 8yr old adults. Ruby IBD and sometimes gets upset and goes poop not in the box. Abby has poor sight, but she would love anything I bring home. There are Ferril cats where I work that residents feed. A two-month-old has a stub hind leg. I have thought a couple times to...

I have decided to try Coconut Oil for Ruby's IBD. I will start with 1/8 teaspoon and then 1/4 teaspoon per day depending on tolerance or outcome. If anyone has any personal experience with Coconut Oil, just the facts please. Thank you

Just telling my story. We have had a feral population at the apartments that I maintain that residents have been feeding. Rules do not permit feeding anything. At one time there were 40 cats and this came down to 12 after a woman moved. This year with all the kittens we are back up to 28. The...

I don't like it. The closest emergency service is 40 min from me. A friends cat died in their arms out of panic heart failure trying to make the trip. Honestly this is not humane. If you have that long or more of a drive the pet does not deserve to be put through that. I wish there were a way to...

Abby has had four times in past month had wet sounding coughing. Usually after eating and having a drink and then laying down with me for a nap. At first thought she need to throw up but I noticed the last two times she sort of crouches lower. Why do cats always get sick on weekends after the...

Sassea was only 4.5 yrs old when she died. Instead of getting easier this year it hit me very hard. Abby & Ruby that we adopted turned 5 yrs old. They were born about the time she died and are now older than Sassea was. I still can't make her dying right in my head. I had always told her she had...

Ruby has IBD. Only gets wet food. Can't have chicken at all. I put a vinyl cover on bed if I'm not in it because she was pooping on the bed. I wanted to believe it was accident/urgent because she gets the runs and it is common for her to be on the bed. I only have cleaned up the bed once since I...

Abby likely had Herpes as a kitten. She gets L-Lysine twice daily with her meals. She is nearly blind from cataracts. Took her to vet a week ago. Abby wouldn't squint, they did a stain and could not see anything and gave us a triple antibiotic goop. Used this for about four days till she just...

Both of our cats have their own "pet rock". Ruby adopted her pet rock (fist sized stone used as door holder) when she was less than a year old. We had to get Abby her own (at a different door) cause Ruby would not share. Ruby will lay against the wall with her rock or on her rock like she is...

Our 9 month old Ruby has had soft poop for a couple of months but otherwise seems fine. She tested negative for parasites but was treated to be safe. She eats Fancy Feast Classic (based on reasonable cost at Wal-Mart). She had been eating one 3oz can of Fancy Feast and Iams kitten dry food and...

I want to build a "real tree limb" cat tree but I worry about our "sight challenged" kitten. I want her to have freedom to explore and be up high but am concerned about her falling.

I want to place a couple of plants at the base of a cat tree. Should I do live or fake. I have always thought a cat would appreciate a small "jungle" to crouch under.

Abby's eyes were goopy when we 1st saw her to adopt on Nov 7th. We had picked her from a mug shot and were not going to change our mind just because she was sickly. They never appeared red or super infected gross. We are giving her L-Lysine and Clavamox. Her eyes are slightly cloudy. I have been...

Wife applied to adopt through Wishbone in West Michigan. She got approval Friday. Saturday we got to see the two she picked from mug shots.Two girls from same litter about 8-10 weeks old have had some shots. One is fine. The other seems more the size of a six week old. They were in a cat room...

Vet said xray looked like Calcium buildup in Colon? Vets first reaction was that we fed alot of fish. She did not like fish. 3oz canned and 1/3 cup of dry food per day. Bottled water 70% percent of time. Four and a half year old. Probably not from this but she died 10/09/2015.

My Sassea died early this past Friday morning. My wife made it clear she did not want to bury her in the dirt. We stopped at the vet when they first opened Friday and were told she died. The vet asked if "we wanted her cremated" and we said yes. My wife and I had no clue just that we did not...

We have been giving Sassea liquid antibiotics for irritated gums. The last two days she has not felt well. Today my wife noticed Sassea foaming a little at the mouth and breathing was labored. We took her to the vet who said her lung xray looked terrible and suggested it was Asthma. With the...

Sassea, me and my wife live upstairs in my mother Pat's house. Pat has a big Tiger / Maine Coon named Kit Kat that is a big baby and since it was his house first we keep Sassea upstairs with us. She gets to come down in morning when I get her breakfast. She will explore and then race me back up...

Long version, we need to get SasSea ok with the harness again. Wife / mom and SasSea were outside a year ago. SasSea suddenly was face to face with a baby rabbit. The rabbit fell over and played dead but mom stepped on SasSea's leash real close to her to stop her from bothering the rabbit...
