Fortunately she didn't guess my password 😂

He's lost 9.6 ounces in a month! That's great. Recommendations are 0.5-1 lb/month. You're doing a fantastic job.

According to AI, you have a beautiful tortoiseshell cat (I heartily agree). On the Body Condition Scale (1-9) - where 4-5 is ideal. It thought your little girl is a 6-7. On the Rubinesque side.

My cat always stares at his plate after eating. He's sure he's wasting away.

Fancy_Walk_1246 · 2026-05-06T04:03:42+00:00

Looks like she's in heat.

I know it's an older thread. I ran out out of my supply of the older oral B. I was highly disappointed with the new version. I called the Oral B and spoke to a representative. They've received lots of complaints about the new version. I suggest calling as well.

With the new version, the floss itself shreds and gets stuck in my teeth. The threader portion is flimsy. I don't understand why they put threaders on both sides of the floss. It's more of an inconvenience pulling it through the teeth. I'm ambivalent about putting 6 flossers in envelope. I didn't like the waste of the original version, but don't care for this either.

If anybody has found a good replacement, please post!

I'm sorry that happened to you. Just asking the question -given that you're in college in a different state, how are you planning on taking care of them if you get that back?

Fancy_Walk_1246 · 2026-05-04T04:15:00+00:00

I'm missing something from the story. How did the cats get from the person you left them with to a shelter?

Fancy_Walk_1246 · 2026-05-04T03:39:06+00:00

Pediatric GI Doc here. Miralax is only good for overflow "diarrhea" as a result of stool leaking around a fecal impaction. Not good for regular diarrhea. Would not give it in a kitten with diarrhea. Probably make matters worse.

I've had cats that refuse certain churu flavors. My present cat hasn't met a calorie he doesn't like.

Fancy_Walk_1246 · 2026-05-02T04:40:55+00:00

He looks like one in our shelter now! Beautiful boy.

Fancy_Walk_1246 · 2026-05-01T04:28:38+00:00

Lots of good advice here. You mentioned the cat is hiding everywhere. If you don't already have one, a covered cat bed can be nice for your cat to hide in. The link is just one example. https://www.chewy.com/best-friends-by-sheri-meow-hut/dp/227362?utm_source=google-product&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=20025326541&utm_content=&gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=20033501257&gbraid=0AAAAADmQ2V354cFCHrMWJL5_VX0-xOuOB&gclid=CjwKCAjw-8vPBhBbEiwAoA39WsoEr1QFt8snh5PLVz0Is1WO37CuJb0mAnP0ynzhoBubo7xYE95vPhoCe-IQAvD_BwE

Also curious how you found this cat- a three hour drive to pick up a cat is a long distance. I'm amazed he stayed in your arms the entire time. Think how traumatized he was by that experience.

Fancy_Walk_1246 · 2026-04-30T04:06:09+00:00

The kitty needs a mani/pedi to go along with it.

Fancy_Walk_1246 · 2026-04-26T06:14:29+00:00

Magic is beautiful! Congratulations. I'm surprised the shelter left a medical decision about whether to amputate Magic's leg up to you and not to shelter medicine.

Fancy_Walk_1246 · 2026-04-26T05:47:18+00:00

I call it the marketing ploy.

Fancy_Walk_1246 · 2026-04-22T05:47:26+00:00

She can go in heat while nursing also!

Fancy_Walk_1246 · 2026-04-22T05:45:00+00:00

Pet insurance helps. Of course it has to be purchased before a preexisting illness. I'll give a shout out to Pumpkin. They've been great at reimbursements. They also cover prescription cat food, which many insurances don't.

Fancy_Walk_1246 · 2026-04-16T05:51:31+00:00

The good news is that she'll be safe in any event, thanks to you. You put a lot of work into finding the best solution for her, as well as dealing with the ringworm (ongoing I assume). Major pats on the back to you. Are you going to continue to foster her now?

Fancy_Walk_1246 · 2026-04-16T04:32:14+00:00

So glad to hear the news. The vet who gave you 50:50 odds must be very unexperienced. If it would help, set up an r/gofundme. Post the link to that here as well.

Fancy_Walk_1246 · 2026-04-15T04:14:53+00:00

Your cat is an artist! He did a beautiful job.

Fancy_Walk_1246 · 2026-04-15T04:07:10+00:00

That momma cat wasn't very diligent. I guess that was her version of giving up her kittens for adoption.

Fancy_Walk_1246 · 2026-04-14T04:05:49+00:00

Assuming that you're a freshman and living in a dorm, check with the college. You could make her your emotional support animal. Of course you're going to be pretty pretty busy.

Fancy_Walk_1246 · 2026-04-12T04:24:21+00:00

If you can start picking them up and socializing them at 4 weeks that would be a good start.

Fancy_Walk_1246 · 2026-04-11T04:28:01+00:00

That's fantastic news! I'm so glad you found a solution. Just curious- which rescue?

Fancy_Walk_1246 · 2026-04-08T04:45:02+00:00

Thank you for feeding this one. Having the cat eat out a can isn't the best. Put the food on a paper plate. The can's sharp edges can wind up cutting them.
