The picture when she was given injections On my way upstairs this morning, I saw Cici looked really dejected. It was as if something was on her mind and her left eye was quite watery. While her eating

While I'm having my own little dramas with broken hands, the cats decided they get in on the action too although I suppose these diversions are a good way to avoid dwelling on the world and it's messes.

Wookie got combed a lot last week and the dandruff is gone. As I mentioned before, the reddish tint to his fur is from nutrition problems and his previous starved state. The eumelanin, which is a pigment

Last weekend, Ms P started refusing to eat. On Friday, my vet had suggested that I give her antinausea tablets and see if that helped because all of her cats had also been through the same thing and if

On Thursday my mother called me and asked for help with my brother's cat that she was attempting to care for while he was on holiday. When I got there, I saw something unbelievable: the poor cat's ear

For #caturday, I did a series on cats and abscesses and was quite happy not to have dealt with one in a little while. On Monday, I noticed this at feeding time Someone has a fat cheek, someone else gave
