I just found out that April 17th is Tortieshell Cats Appreciation Day. Tortie Cats Appreciation Day It was created by Ingrid King in 2020, and though the day hasn't been officially recognized yet, Ingrid is encouraging people with tortie cats to spread awareness and appreciation on these...

In a a previous thread of mine I told how my cat licked obsessively the inner of her hind leg after a blood sampling and this led to pyoderma. She had to wear the cone for 7 weeks, until 10 days ago. The vets said that her skin was probably disturbed by the clipper blades. Today I noticed that...

One of my three yard cats has gone missing since Friday, March 15th, ten days ago. The last time I saw her was around midnight Thursday, I was out in the yard and filled the dishes for the three of them. The next morning she wasn't there. I wasn't too worried, sometimes she wanders in the nearby...

My cat Giada reacts very bad every time the vets need to take some blood from her. The vets shave the area where they need to take the blood from, but then she insistently lick her shaved skin and her skin gets really sore. This time the thing went beyond imagination, and her hind leg has a...

When reading TCS on my phone, I would just long tap the purraise icon at the end of each post, and a pop up menu with a selection of purraises to choose from would show up. Today I can't pick any purraises because no pop up menu appears, only a sad window that asks me to open the link in a new...

Moderators, please feel free to move the thread where it's more appropriate. We're talking about FIP and its treatment. Two people that I know both had their own cats diagnosed with FIP in the same week in January. They don't know each other. They were both referred to a veterinarian who has a...

These last 12 months have been particularly heavy for me. I had to say goodbye to 9 cats, it is something that can devastate even the strongest spirit. The first cat to go to the Bridge was exactly one year ago, December 24th, 2022. She was a cat that I had re-homed three years earlier. She...

To those who care for feral or stray cats in an outdoor environment: Do you notice that cats tend to drink more in winter than they do in summer? I have three outdoor cats in my yard, with three dishes and a large bowl for water, nearly 1 liter. I have noticed that this bowl needs refill more...

I'd like to add some photos to "My Media", but it seems I'm not that smart. If I try to Add New Media I'm asked to add it to an existing album, so I browse/look for mine, and I see an album where I have one photo only, but "My Media" shows many more photos. How can I add new photos to the many...

Wow, exactly two years ago I posted this thread Feral cat sleeping in the cold It was Dec 1st, 2021. Now I have a question related to the cat house that you can see in the photo of that link. I'm going to replace those insulating panels in the cat house, they are worn down and dirty. Those...

Since I have my two cats, I've been feeding them monoprotein wet food. I picked a premium Italian brand and four different varieties to give them weekly first, monthly now. Two of them are fished based and two are meat based. This way I tried to have the cats used to different tastes so that if...

At the local cat shelter they have been using Seresto collars on some cats, with good results, I'd say. One of the cats who recently had the collar put, though, developed a severe cutaneous rash around his neck a few days after having the collar, so the collar was removed and stored away for...

Despite all my efforts to make my house cat-safe, for three days in a row my two cats managed to disengage or pry the windows nets open and escaped unsupervised while I was doing something else in the next room. On Saturday and Sunday I realized it promptly and recovered them soon. I have those...

Yesterday, at the cat shelter where I give them a hand, a woman arrived with three kittens that had been surrendered by their family. They all have folded ears, I have no details on the parent cats. They do look like Scottish Fold kittens to me, but I doubt they are pure breed. Is it possible...

My cat Giada's sister is at the local shelter and has been diagnosed with IMHA which seems not to respond to the therapy. She has been on prednisolone (5 mg twice a day) for a week now, yesterday the vets added the Chlorambucil (2 mg every three days). The vets are advising about a blood...

Shouldn't cats sleep a lot? I have always known that cats are among the animals that sleep the most. According most sources, a cat sleeps 16 hours a day on average, sometimes even longer, that means that on average, only 8 hours a day are spent in activities, like playing, chasing toys, eating...

Recently, my cat Giada had a blood work done, and when the results came in, though the vets say everything is looking good, I noticed a few levels out of range. So I looked at the past blood works of the last couple of years, for both cats, and found out that this abnormality has been going on...

Until a few years ago, a FIP cat was very much likely sentenced to death, because the disease had no treatments available. Then, this GS-441 experimental drug came out and, though not approved by any authorities, it has been used on so may cats with a good level of success. A few days ago, a...

A few days ago I was talking about cats with a person that I know, and she said that her vet advised her on using a Purina product called Hydra Care, to increase the water intake of her cats. I looked into this product and found out it is just a gel to be added as a supplement to the normal...
