:D Stuart is doing quite well. I have not had a chance to take him to the vet, or used flea products. I called in sick Thurs. to deal with this crises, and went back to work Fri. after finding Stu. Please understand I have the type of boss/job that calling in sick is suspect and frowned upon. I came...

:D Whew! I found him about 6:00 a.m. I heard him at the front of the house underneath a bay window overhang. I couldn't get him to come to me, all he would do is cry. So I got down in the mud and pouring rain and he let me grab onto him and drag him out. He appears to be in great shape. I combed him...

I want to urge everyone with indoor cats to make sure your window screens/screened porches have very secure screens. Within 10 minutes of letting my two cats on the screened porch, they broke through the screens today, probably to chase a critter. I was lucky to find one in the yard, but the other i...

Thanks for all your advice. Still no sign of him. I've searched outside several different times today. I hope it's not raining tonight--I think he would be more likely to appear if he's still close by. He is timid, so I hope he will feel more comfortable approaching the house in the dark. I plan to ...

:(I have two indoor cats that regularly go out on a screened porch. Never a problem until this a.m. I walked by the porch, didn't see them, but saw my 2 year old in the yard. Then I saw 2 busted out screens I know weren't there before. I managed to get the 2 year old, but can't find the 6 year old. ...

I just noticed my 1 year old cat has an area on the inside of his front leg ("armpit" area) where fur is missing. It is about the size of a quarter and the skin looks smooth. He and my 6 year old cat play and wrestle alot, but it doesn't look like the skin was abraded at all. It looks like...

I picked him up from ER vet this a.m. They said he was doing well. He ate for them, no vomiting. He pooped for them (it was normal) and they think whatever was causing problems is going to pass. They said to keep an eye on him for next two days. I'll keep my fingers crossed.

Well, he vomited again so I took him the ER vet. They will keep him overnight and moniter him and do some more x rays. I hope he doesn't have to have surgery.

I have gone through the house and kitten proofed based on this event. I've never had a cat do this, but I feel stupid that this happened.

My 14 week old kitten threw up this morning after eating. He vomited food and an elastic loop band which is about 1" wide by 2" long. (How he swallowed somthing that size I'll never know.) He also threw up the elastic string part of a toy. The string was in small segments. He threw up agai...

He eats Science Diet hairball control. He's always been a good water drinker and he's been producing several normal sized clumps per day in the litter box. His demeanor has changed for the better also. He seems like his old self, much less agitated.
