Re: Hello , I'm new here and to it all with my Kitten

Oh my........ she is beyond cute! You didn't tell us she's a Meezer. I love Siamese. Have had at least one all my life - have three mixes right now - just love listening to them talk in that guttural voice and they always have an opinion on everything! That's great news that her open spot has grown ...

Re: RIP my sweet Bendikins

No other will ever be able to fill the hole that they leave in our heart, each is unique and special in their own being. But we don't want to fill that hole - we need that love to hold on to, to be able to take hold of it, to wrap it around us - for the joy, for the happiness, and even the pain but ...

Re: Neurological Rescue Cat LOVES ICE-SKATING, GYMNASTICS &

Hi PooMoogie! Wubbles is absolutely precious! I've had several cats over the years with those big 'blobs' of 'color' on a white face. I think it gives them 'character'. That was quite a write up on Craig's List - don't think there wasn't anything that you didn't cover .... and with a write up like t...

Re: FECAL INCONTINENT KITTEN

Hi and welcome to HPBB. 20 questions time: Do you have a picture of your little one? Do you have any history or background on him? Was he a shelter rescue or did you find him? Does he have a tail? Is it possible that he could have been HBC (hit by a car), stepped on, kicked or thrown from a window o...

Those of us with special needs furkids usually have full time jobs and multiple special needs furkids to care for so email and forums are usually something that we check just before collapsing into bed.

Re: We need help with our cat PLEASE? :(

Hi! Glad you found us! I am inclined to agree with Bendy - arthritis. It is quite common in older cats. We have two cats with similar symptoms. The HookMeister is a 12 yr old Siamese and in the past year I've noticed that he is thinning in the hips and losing muscle mass. It is harder for him to mak...

Re: My cat had a stroke and can't walk now

I'm short on time right now but will try to re-read this thread all the way through in detail tomorrow. Has he had a complete blood panel and urinalysis done? The part about the rear legs getting weak and weaker makes me wonder if he might be in the beginning stages of kidney insufficiency. He is at...

Re: Female kitten with CH needs forever home, Va.

She's adorable!!! Love the face! Sounds like Weebles is really progressing and quite possibly she'll ge her 'walking' down pat. CH kittens often continue to 'progress' until they are two years old. After that they are pretty much as they will always be. Hopper Chopper started out being thought to be...

Re: Handicapped kitten in recovery needing home and rehab

Oh what an adorable baby! Bless you for caring for this little one! I can tell that you are facing some issues where caring for him is going to become difficult. Are you the one that is currently caring for him? I see where Karen who has cared for many special needs kittens has offered to adopt him ...
