I have a story for you guys. This morning I was up at
5:30 am supervising my nephew while he finished his
math homework. My black cat, Pepper, jumped up on the
bay window seat in the dining area and started pawing
at the south window. I went over to her and wrapped

Yes, we called the police and they came out this
morning and looked our place over, but there's not
much they can do. My husband wanted to go out and
catch the guy but I told him if the guy had a gun,
that wouldn't be too smart. The police came out twice
for my neighbor too, but said the same
Very good idea to alert all the neighbors; if the individual is prowling the
neighborhood frequently, he will eventually be caught since people will be
looking for him.

There was a story on the web and on the local news last year about a guard cat, so obviously...they can be as good as dogs at that kind of thing.
The unique thing about this cat: She was rescued from the pound, found as a stray, her eyes were so infected they had to be removed. She was an adult
Were your cats ever tested for FELV before this other cat came into your home?
I know
you said they all had the FELV vaccine two years ago, but did your vet do the
test,
or just give the vaccine without testing them? To your own benefit, every 3
years IS
now the recommended schedule for most
I thought you couldn't give lactated ringer's sub-q because it would cause the

Hi guys,
I am having a hard time getting Cricket to eat right
now. He is drinking water some and some tuna juice,
but it isn't much. I have been force feeding him baby
meat foods the past couple of days. He isn't very
happy about it, but otherwise, he is going to be too
weak if he doesn't eat.
Nina,
Yes, I fussed over Pepper this morning after the
police left, and I could swear by the look on her face
that she was so proud of herself. She was probably
saying, See momma, I told you there was someone out
there but you weren't listening! lol. We have a
puppy who is about 5 months old
Wendy,
I'm very sorry to tell you this, but from what you describe, if you
leave Cricket alone for 48 hours, there is a good chance that he won't
be around when you get back, or he will deteriorate considerably, (in 48
hours, he may do that even with you home to assist-feed him). His

Ask your vet about Cyproheptadine. It's a cream that you put on the
inside of their ear to stimulate appetite. I don't use it when a cat
acts like they are hungry, just somehow unable to eat. If Cricket isn't
showing any interest in food a stimulant might get him started again.

Yes, it could. I've had Cypro prescribed at the same time as Pred, so
I'm assuming the vet thought it might help too. The main thing is to get
them eating and to make sure they don't go completely without food. If
they go without food for more than a 24 to 48 hour period, there is a

Well, around here it isn't expensive.

Well, it kinda like being a used car salesman but I'm honest. The same type of technique. Years ago I sucked too at adoptions but I learned. I didn't like being around people back then really still don't but it comes with the territory.
I didalot of advertising on them and it work.
If staying behind truly isn't an option, then I suggest hiring a pet-sitter (insured, bonded etc)- a lot of vet techs will do this on the side - ask your clinic - ask the nearest 24 facility if they board - Cricket CAN NOT be alone this weekend!

Not to alarm you undully, but if this peeping tom breaks into the house...who will guard Pepper? He could be looking to steal...trying to see what you all have, and if he sees the house is empty
