We took Tango, our 1 yr old male cat to the vet yesterday, and we have been
told he has Restrictive Cardiomyopathy.  She says it does not seem too bad
at the moment, but that it will almost certainly shorten his life.
My Fiancé Claire is devastated beyond belief.  She has an ...

The next model is Tabitha (aka "Big Mama").

My cat had cystitis which was treated by antibiotics, six months later she caught it again.
She now a couple of months down the road showing sings of it.

I forgot to post a followup!  To anyone that is wondering how Jinx
fared, he did just fine.  We cleaned the area a couple more times,
administered the antibiotics until gone, and before long a thick scab
formed and eventually fell off.  Within a couple weeks it was difficult

I have adopted a new cat, large male.  He is an addition to a household of
two female cats and one

Just got a new room mate who has a juvenile unspayed female cat.  The first
encounter with one of my two neutered male cats resulted in a nasty fight.
After separating the two into different rooms, my big guy was one big ball
of fur with every hair standing on end.  He welcomed my ...

Last year our long-haired ragdoll kitty had surgery for two impacted
hairballs.  Afterwards, she went from 10 down to 5 1/2 pounds.  I have
wondered if maybe when the vet sewed her back up that her stomach was
made smaller (sort of like a kitty gastroplasty).  

   I was wondering if anyone could help me with a question. My cat has very
recently started wasting on the floor in the hall right next to our front
door, this has only started in the last 2 weeks and he does it sporadically,

I'd like to take my 10 year old niece to a cat show in Boston, but I
can't seem to come up with a good google search combo to find a list.  
Is there one?
Thanks!

I was just wondering if putting the radio on for the day while I am at work
would make Kitty feel less lonely (does he feel lonely?)
Anyone know?

My wife and I are retired and our cat recently died and we want to get
another. We have had several in the past years and we really want an
affectionate cat that will sit on our laps while we watch TV or read. Not
all cats will do this, some are friendly but skittish and will not ...
