My 8 year old spayed female, Shuggie, has been suffering from mild, patchy fur loss, with small but noticeable sores, for the past year/18 months or so. When I first took her to the vet for it, they said it was due to a flea allergy, they gave her a shot and put her on regular flea medication...

I just wanted to thank everybody who offered kind words and condolences in my thread about the sudden, shocking loss of my big, beautiful baby boy Jellybean last week. I wanted to write a long post about our life together as a tribute...but then I decided to just make a video instead. I come...

I'm still in shock. My Jellybean was only 6 years old. He was literally fine one minute, and dying in my arms the next. I was getting ready to leave the house for a little bit. My mama cat, Shuggie, the mother of my other 4 (including Jellybean), was outside (she's the only one who gets to go...

I had a last-minute two-week work trip dumped in my lap, and had to board my kitties. They are very sheltered and spoiled, and have never had anything like this happen to them before. I'm wondering what to expect when I bring them home. Will they be happy to see me and happy to be home again? Or...

So this feral female I've been feeding for a couple of years now just had a litter of 4 on my back porch last night (I've been unable to trap her - this is her 4th litter since she's been hanging around my place). With all the other litters, she had them elsewhere and they would show up on my...

I live in San Antonio, Texas, which is a TERRIBLE city as far as resources for strays, no-kill shelters, rescue and foster organizations, etc. The no-kill shelters are always almost all full. To get a cat into the Humane Society you have to get there somewhere around midnight to 2AM to ensure...

Hello everybody, I have 5 cats, plus I am feeding another 6 (3 tame strays, 2 semi-ferals, 1 completely feral). I am in the process of deciding whether to keep my current job, which will force me to relocate to another city, or to stay where I'm at and look for another job. It dawned on me...

Momma, a semi-feral gray bobtail I feed, gave birth to a litter of 4 over a month ago. They finally showed up with her yesterday. They can eat and get around on their own. Of course, they are friggin' adorable. I want to do what I can to get them adoptable. 1 of the 4 seems more scared of me...

I've had Shuggie for about 3 1/2 years. She was abandoned at our apartment complex and eventually found her way to me. Because of the time she spent living outdoors, she needed her outside time, to stake out and patrol her turf. In all that time, she's never roamed, ran away, or gone very far...

The motor on my Petsafe Pagoda went out after almost a year. It's an expensive fountain (about $100), and a bear to clean (you have to completely dismantle it every 2-3 weeks and clean it...mine still managed to get gunked up after a year, despite my best efforts). My cats really enjoyed the...

3 years ago, I was lucky enough to be chosen by a cat to be her human. I named her Shuggie (rhymes with boogie, not buggy). She is an indoor/outdoor cat, and she like to patrol her turf, which consists of about 3 buildings in my apartment complex. She is very friendly and beloved by everybody...

A little background on my cat situation before I start: I live in a one-bedroom apartment. I have 5 cats. A female (Shuggie), probably about 5 years old, and her litter of 4 males (Conan, Francesco, Buddy Boy and Jellybean), who will be 3 years old around  this coming Easter. The female was...

I have 5 cats, a mother and her four 2-year-old male sons. Last week, my air conditioner went out, so for the first time since the kittens were born, I turned on the ceiling fan, and it freaked them all out (except for the mother) for a while, they all ran and hid for a few hours. Eventually...

I've got 5 cats, a mother (got her when another family living in my apartment complex moved out and abandoned her), and her 4 full grown male sons, who are coming up on 2 years old. Mother is an indoor/outdoor cat, gets angry and pissy if she doesn't get some outdoor time. No problem there, as...
