Hi everyone. I still regularly check this site even though I hardly post anymore. Today, I received very devastating news about my dear Snowy, and would like to hear what others have to say. So Snowy was diagnosed with HCM back in December of 2019 when he was 6. He is 9 going 10 now. And up until April 2023, his LA:Ao ratio is pretty stable at 1.3 : 1. However, around June of last year it suddenly shot up to around 1.8 : 1. In December, it actually went down slightly to 1.68 : 1. But just... Question about HCM ..read more

My cat one day just stopped drinking water and I saw that she had dripped outside her box with dark urine. So, I took her to the vet, paid over 400 dollars for tests, and she came back with a clean bill of health. They gave her an antibiotic and inflammation medicine and prescribed her some urinary care wet food so I've been feeding her that. I tried seeing if she'd drink after that-- no dice. I got her a brand new fountain from PetLibro cause that seems popular with people and their cats... Tried everything and she still won't drink from her fountains ..read more

Hi everyone, I have been caring for 2 semi feral cats for a few years now outside. They started getting sick and stuck in crawlspaces recently, and I brought them both into my apartment a few months ago. This has been a very challenging year for me at work and emotionally, and this situation became very overwhelming for me. I already had my own cat so now I had 3 cats inside, and a cat allergy. I started having bad asthma. One of the cats, Olive, used to be a pet and he can be handled and... Getting my Semi Feral Cat Back ..read more

I'm trying to give Whiskers a better variety of options for her meals. So recently my husband brought home some Stella and Chewy's chicken and salmon freeze dried dinner morsels. She likes them dry...She'll eat maybe 4 or 5 of them, no where near enough but I'll take it. Her weight needs more like 3/4 of a cup which would be around 20 but it's OK we're getting there. So what are your opinions on it? I can't seem to get her to like Tikicat much. Right now hjer dinner consists of a churu... Thoughts on Stella and Chewy Freeze Dried Dinner Morsels ..read more

Hi all! My cat escaped from our house and was outdoors for 4 days a while ago. I suspect she may be pregnant (very swollen abdomen, more affectionate). We have plans to spay her (rural area, limited vets/resources) and I made an appointment for her to be seen next week but in the meantime I’d appreciate your thoughts. Thanks ..read more

I have a Birman kitten who is 5 months old, we brough her home in January this year, and she's had diarrhea almost every week since then. My partner works away during the week, I work from home two days and three days in the office. I have been doing half days at work so that she's not left on her own for a whole work day. When we brought the kitten home, we were feeding her the same food as she was eating at the breeder's house (raw for breakfast, tins for lunch and dinner). When she...
