I'm so sorry, Nina---I TOTALLY relate. My vets are just the same--they will not prescribe antibiotics for a URI e.g. unless they see the cat first. They don't seem to have any idea of the stress involved--and the effect on all the kitties of all that stress--in bringing in a feral FeLV cat. And whi

Michelle L., Formulate your questions and what Bramble has been prescribed/tested for so I can ask my vet's office. They've been incredibly indulgent with me in the past, so I'm hoping they will help. I'm not a vet, so I can't say what the reason would be to not give Bramble seizure meds, (ar

Title: Message Michelle, I've never had a blind cat myself, but my friend in Portsmouth had a cat that became blind as an adult--and went on to live happily to a ripe old age. I guess because cats' other senses are so acute they adapt better than a human might expect of them. I've also read

Hey Sweetie, It sounds like Bramble may be improving, despite the pupil dilation and possible blindness.  It sure sounds like he's still enjoying life, anybody who gets "excited over his chicken" doesn't sound like they've given up!  Being blind isn't the worst thing that can happen, many anima
