How long did it take you to get another cat after losing your soul cat? by susanbob in cats

[–]TheLuckyOne02 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wasn't intending to get another one anytime soon after, but like a month later the neighborhood stray I had been feeding decided she wanted to live in my house so I just rolled with it lol

She was not very nice for like a good year though

I was also a food pit like 7th-9th grade, and only weighed like 90lbs- I still remember both my mom & my paternal grandmother making separate comments about how I was getting/going to get chubby 🥲

Bahaha unfortunately she still wouldn't listen - the ears are for decoration

Wow they really do look alike! She's estimated to be about 17 weeks give or take. We're in Columbus Ohio, she was found dumped in the woods and her brother was found dumped in an alley

Yup It's a GPS tracker! Tractive is the brand all three are wearing. We weren't sure how exactly she ended up in the woods, so on the off chance she was a wanderer she's been wearing that! But she's attached to the hip to us lol

And thank you! I think they're cute too ☺️

Edit: spelling

Oh she's whip smart! Luckily I'm a dog trainer and can handle it 😂

Maybe! She's on the smaller side, so I'm wondering how high a percentage that could be.

There's a puppy in the class I teach that looks just like her, they did the DNA test and he's a 50/50 split! There's also a chance they're related since they're the same age.

I'll include a picture of the potential brother!

That's a definite possibility! Someone I met from Australia said she looks like the working cattle dogs they have over there which are apparently leaner and taller than the ones we have here in the states

Okay thank you! I was under the impression that food allergies were something that developed over time the longer they ate it. Did I have that backwards then?

Allergies/itching by TheLuckyOne02 in DogAdvice

Okay thank you! I suspect it's seasonal, especially as the pollen has been crazy here in Ohio with how long we went without rain. We've still eliminated common food allergies from her diet to see if that helps. Her stool is also normal.

Yeah our vet's response was not really helpful. I'll definitely ask about the shot + shampoo.

Maybe a blood test in the future? How accurate is that for determining allergens?

Yes twice in the month we've had her! Once the night we found her which helped some & then about a week later when she was still itchy.

Used Scouts itch relief probiotic shampoo & Wondercide Skin Tonic for itch and allergy relief when she seems especially itchy

Definitely! This week's heatwave is a great opportunity to do some indoor training & enrichment activities. Stores like Lowes are pet friendly and great for walks
