One of my cats started sounding congested a few days ago. It just gradually got worse until it sounds terrible sometimes. Just a rattling noise when breathing. I took it to the vet & they noticed the trachea was possibly collapsing. Not something they’d seen much of. My cat is around 22 lbs so...

I have a vet appointment scheduled but am still worried. I’ve told my story before. My mother fed some stray cats but I lost her in 2021. I was determined to care for the cats she loved so dearly. I caught everyone and within a month, everyone had adjusted. No issues so far other than one had...

I have other threads related to this issue that I posted recently. Bottom line my mom always cared for animals. We always had pets. If an animal showed up at her house, it got a meal. She would leave extra dry cat food out for a possum that visited! She had the best heart. I lost my mom in...

I posted already about losing “my buddy smoke”. This came on the heels of losing my mother. Unfortunately, there’s more to the story and it’s eating at me. For various reasons, I lived with mom the past few years. Mom loved animals. She had dogs, she had cats, & she left out food for a possum...

In 2015, a stray cat made it to my porch and had a litter of kittens. The mother and father were the best cat parents I’ve ever seen! They say together on my porch and got down to play with the kittens! I’d never seen a mother & father cat so involved with their kittens. Everyone was spayed...

Lex is about 5 years old and has been in good health. He's a little overweight but nothing too bad. His only bad behavior is he has a tendency to sneak outside and hide. In January he snuck outside and got in a fight with another cat and had a bad bite on his neck. It eventually got very...

In 2005, I discovered a liter of kittens in an abandoned building near my house. With the help of my awesome mother, we caught them & eventually, they all found homes. I ended up keeping one. There were three kittens but originally, I thought there were four. After close to a year, this black...

I have a cat who's about 8 or 9. He was a stray for years & I finally caught him 3 years ago. He's been an absolute angel. Being a bit wild, I never took him to a vet. I have no idea what condition he was truly in when I caught him. He's always been a picky eater & never gained much weight...

Ray is about an 9 year cat that I caught 3 years ago & brought inside. He'd been a stray that never let me pet him for years but I still tried to make sure he had a meal everyday. I provided outdoor shelter when I could but he pretty much just lived outside for at least 6 years. I got him inside...

About 5 yrs ago, I found a tortoise shell cat on top of a phone pole. It was in the middle of a storm. Fortunately, she came or fell down & was in a bush I could reach. She was soaked but immediately came to me. I have other cats & she never blended in with them. One cat chased her constantly...
