{I posted most of this in another forum and a kind reader suggested I post here, too.} It's been an overwhelming few days. After spending a total of 10 hours over 2 days at the ER vet, we had to make the heartbreaking decision to euthanize our beloved Hemingway, who wasn't even 10 years old. He...

Any tips on making a cat more comfortable while we wait for a likely euthanasia appointment tomorrow? Last night we took our 10 year old male cat to the emergency vet because he hadn't been eating or drinking for a day, was lethargic, and he threw up a little. Long story short, the vet said...

My 8 year old indoor/outdoor neutered male has a history of cat fights and abscesses. We usually don't know he's fought until we feel puncture wounds or see an abscess. (Please no lectures on keeping him indoors. He had been living outdoors for two years when we adopted him from our neighbors...
