and give Geordi his first ear stick, in my efforts to get him
regulated here at home without having to take him in to the vet for

I have not been here for a long time.  I am living happily with my 3 cats,
plus one feral cat outside whom I feed and provide with a pretty nice little
shelter.
Prior to getting cats in 2000, I'd never had pets.  I have certainly learned

What is the safest timing to get two new kittens from different

Can a 15lb inactive house cat sustain itself on the juices in pouch food?
Other than that he is eating less than 3 ozs of the solid part per day. I
put down a 3 oz pouch in the morning and then again in the late afternoon.
There is also a small amount of dry that he may nibble at ...

I have a kitty who is very affectionate and likes to cuddle.  Problem is
he will only do so under very specific circumstances.  If I sit in bed

I was asked to post about Sapphire's experience with glucosamine.  Well, she

    So, Thursday we notice that Hakaisha is walking with a strange
hitch-skip on his left hind leg.  We decide to keep an eye on it, as

weekend it gets a little better, but we start realising that he's

I'm hoping someone here can offer me some advice regarding the
practicalities of finding an alternative renal diet to the Hills Feline KD.
