I just lost my Cat, she was a siamese but looked more tonkanese to me,
named Kiki. My mom bought her for me when I had just finished the
first grade, so I was around 6 years old. I am now about to turn 28
and she has been with me the entire time, amazing when I reflect on

I told you all about the soft, elasticized drawstring from my Nike yoga
pants that my cats adore because when they let it go it zings across the
room.
Well, I tied the beloved wiggly green snake that Gracie has been conquering

Spirit went into respiratory failure this afternoon.  The vet did everything
he could to save him but he was suffering gasping for air at the end.  I
could not let him go on like that.  I WILL MISS YOU MY FRIEND

so our female 9 to 11 year old female has always been a little
strange, mostly from being in a strange house, ours. but lately she's
developed an odd habit even for her.
with most cats if you scratch at the base of the tail they raise up

This morning as I was rushing off to work I knocked over my bottle of
amoxicillin. I thought I picked them all up, but when I came home at lunch I
found a partially dissolved gelcap in the cat's water dish. It must have
bounced there. I don't know if it dissolved enough to ...

My cat just got  over that swelling on his lip, and his meow is back
after being hoarse for a few days, but my once good cat is now being
bad and peeing on the bath rug. He also crapped on it a few times when
he was mad at me. His litter box is clean, he has all he can eat.,

Our five year old kitty, Sammy, just had a kidney removed at the end
of November. It was totally destroyed...filled with pseudomonas.
He was on amikacin for a week and that seemed to clear
everything. He supposedly has asthma (chronic bronchial infection,

We currently have two house cats that have no specific lineage... they
are just your ordinary run of the mill mongrel cats. We love them both
as if they were our own children (well, almost, hahahaha). Over the
course of this winter whenever it snowed I noticed tracks leading to

Nuggy just showed up outside so a year ago got him fixed/shots/tests
(clean), released him after a week and he stuck around. He got
'almost' friendly so over time we got close enough to take him in. He
was a mess but after a couple months now the fleas are gone (front-

A slightly different question about bowls.
Whilst doing the regular litter run, I saw that the pet shop was selling "U"
shaped bowls with no (or at least very shallow) sides.  The notice beside
them claimed that the "stop whiskers touching the bowl!" (their exclamation

I'm an overworked city man with a polluting old car, an aching back,
endless bills and threatening letters almost daily from the IRS.
I drive to work, where I'm also under threat. Not enough sales.
Could I be terminated? What will I do?

They were moving (same town) and got Atlas last being afraid he would
run out when they were moving...the window had broken as in slid down
btwn the door and they had plastic up
Atlas was in his carriers but the door popped open (mine does that

Does anyone know what home remedy I can give my cat for UTI? I can't
afford to take him to the vet right now. I wonder if cranberry juice
would help? He is 2 yr old and neutered last year, he weighs about 7#.

We were told by a vet to use Benedryl, half of an adult tablet, for our
cat's itchiness. Has anyone tried that? He would not eat it in food, and
simply frothed at the mouth and coughed it up every time we tried to
pill him. It must be horrible.
