hi

My cat is 18years old and in the past 2months or so has started a steady decline.
She used to be quite, fat and fluffy. She is now more vocal, but has not got any lazier. She still atempts high jumps and things. But struggles down stairs.
She doesnt seem to extend her back legs fully. and her fur is slightly greasier and more matted. But she does not seem to be in any pain that i know of.

I want to know if i should have her put down or let her go naturally?

She seems just as active and not avoiding things she used to do like i would expect, she only does them slower.

However, she is eating nearly 3-4 times what she used to and she is using the litter tray more than 4 times a day. It smells awful! even though she is eating the same as a younger cat. She drinks loads of water and goes out regularly. and her stools sometimes have blood in them, more often than not, and she does not sit down fully after going

overall she seems happy tho

questions n suggestions?

When I adopted my cat 6 months ago, she was diagnosed with bartonella. She had and still has pretty bad gingevitis in the back of her mouth. When she was diagnosed, she was on a 3 week course of antibiotics; however, I don't think it ever really cleared up. I was told I had to wait 6 months to test her again for it. In that 6 month period, I moved and took her to a new vet this week for testing. This vet had never heard of bartonella. That's weird, right? I should be skeptical of this vet if she didn't know what bartonella is?

Anyway, I was wondering if anyone knew what the normal medical response was in cases like this where the first 3 week round of antibiotics didn't work? Should I expect another 3 weeks of antibiotics or should I plan for something else? I haven't had a lot of luck searching this on the internet.

Also, in general, what is normally done about cat gingevitis? This vet suggested removing all of my cat's teeth? That seems incredibly extreme to me.
Thanks!

It's been a few months now. She was an outside stray, so i took her and got her fixed and found out she has Feline AIDS. I can't take her to any shelters because they euthanize them there. She's a very sweet cat and i read online that they can live just as long as other cats. There IS a sanctuary in Boca Raton that told me they could take her but, Does anyone know of a website that will help me find another FIV positive cat owner that may want another cat, or a rescue that is willing to try and find a home for positive cats? Any advice is greatly appreciated.

Ok, well as you can tell it's about my kitty. It was just born a few hours and it's an outside kitty. The mom won't touch. She sniffed it a few times but just left it in the middle of the ground. Is there a way I can get it to go get the kitten? It makes me cry when I see it because I love animals to death. The flys are all over it and the mom is just sitting there like 2 feet away starring at it. Is there a reason she isn't taking care of it? Is there a way I can get her to go take care of it? She had 4 altogether and takes care of 3 of them but not that one I told you about.

I have a 4 month old kitten that never leaves my side when I am home. She is a very affectionate cat and very good around groups of people. I live in an apartment where I don't want to leave the litter or food outside of my bedroom as I have a roomate and it's not his responsibilty to have to deal with those things. I want them out of the way for everyone and my room is the best solution...

I'm wondering if anyone has any suggestions for me to keep my cat from going onto my bed, when I am sleeping or otherwise. One reason is that I am losing sleep as she wakes me up almost every night. But the main reason is that she has flared up a breathing problem for me as her dander gets on my bed. Any advise would help...

Thanks.....

This recently has happened to me with Marshall, (it's been about three months since Marshall and Wylie stay 24/7 with me with limited freedom that's gated, and sleep with me), that when I pet him, he nips or bites me. Nothing serious. Just teeth marks. I'm just curious to why cats nip or bite you. (This summer, Sweet Pea bit my mom at the veins of her hand, and was infected, and had to get antibiotics. We don't know why that happened.)

We see oodles of questions about "how do I look after cats" on here but virtually none about dogs. What does that say?

the thing is they are quite well off and i reckon there will be a reward. The cat is in my freezer at the moment waiting for the 'missing pet' signs to go up around town.

how long does a medium sized kitty take to defrost anyway ??
