Pic's a bit big.
Sorry for the phone pic. This is Kaz(uma) and Ken(shiro) about a couple of months ago. I'll try to get a recent pic up soon though.
I have a concern. Kaz has been sneezing for about a week now. Not constantly, but either once or a burst of 3-4 sneezes and then he's good for a while. His breath seems a bit labored every once and a while. I've done some good ole googling and now i'm a bit concerned since it could be anything from an allergy to possibilities much worse.
The symptoms I mentioned seem to be it though. There's no discharge from his tear ducts nor any mucus when he sneezes. He's anything but lethargic and he still eats both dry and wet food. He's an inside cat whose only other cat experience is his brother (who shows no signs). Both were neutered at the beginning of march but checking back on the records it looks like I did not request vaccinations for feline leukemia (but they do have their rabies and distemper shots). Kaz still seems to breathe through his nose as well.
I'm gonna take Kaz to the vet on my next off day, anybody else experience this?

my chippy
sorry to bump for sad stuff, but my youngest kitty in the quoted post is going through a hard time...
A few weeks ago I noticed that he was sleeping much more than usual. I didn't think it was a big deal until he wouldn't leave his bed at all and he stopped eating food. Normally he was obsessed with food and would steal the other cat's food and knock over trash for food and stuff. I took him to the vet and they said he has a blood parasite. They told us it would be treatable and that he would be fine, but he still wouldn't eat at all, even though we tried feeding him everything we could think of as well as stuffing his pills down his throat twice a day.
He was a very healthy cat but he's withered away and only weights about 7 pounds right now, which is 2 pounds less than he was when he was weighed as a 6 month old kitten. If you pet him you can feel every single bone in his body. He just went in again for another over night stay at the vet but I still can't get him to eat much or anything.
I'm doing everything I can but it's so depressing to see my kitty wither away, especially since he's only one year old. He's still a baby. We've tried everything and all we can hope for now is for him to just recover naturally, but I'm losing hope. We spoiled him so much but out of nowhere something like this happens...

That's sad indeed. I hope your kitty gets his appetite back. Have you tried feeding him with a syringe?
Yeah, those syringes from the vet are helpful for force feeding them when they're sick. Get some wet cat food and heat it for a few seconds in the microwave, then mash it up afterwards so it isn't hot. Add a little bit of water to the food so it becomes really mushy. Put the syringe in from the side of his mouth, and aim for the back. Just keep feeding him little portions of food as much as you can. You can spread the feeding sessions out, so he doesn't have to finish it all right away if it stresses him.
I hope your cat gets better.

I've been trying to not think about it while I'm on here, but he died today. I've been fucking gutted by it. I had to bring in one of my other cats for a blood transfusion but it didn't work. I had to bury him in my back yard this evening. I feel awful but there isn't anything I can do about it. I'm going to miss him so much.
sorry for sad post, but I have no where else to vent right now, it's eating me alive

The kitty thread has become one of sadness and tears ;__;
I really love cats but not in my current circumstances. Moreover, I love to travel and being a pet owner means I have to be there always. Still love cats and pugs

I have no idea why he has started doing it now after living here for two years, but he seems to enjoy it. He took a nap up there on Saturday. Also he shoots lasers out of his eyes!
uh oh.
Just sayin'.

We moved over the weekend, and I am now living in a much larger apartment with my boyfriend and his cat. My cat, Galileo, has already taught my boyfriend's cat, Alfie, how to be bad and climb on the kitchen counter. I'm proud my cat is a juvenile delinquent that corrupts others.
Doing stare-downs with birds
My mom took him from the shelter as a kitten. He's about 10 months old now I think. Ultimate bad-ass. Doesn't afraid of anything, which sometimes kinda worries us. He literally likes sitting on the lawnmower while it's running, is highly interested in the vacuum cleaning process, and jumps in your car as soon as you open the door. Also kills anything that moves if it's smaller then him. Already fighting with the neighbour's cat which is like 5 times his size. So proud ;_;. Also he's very laidback, always in for hanging around.
not really my cats
but they seem to live here...and everywhere

Huh... did you feed a cat somewhere in the neighborhood? Maybe he told them you were an easy mark for free food .

Thanks! I'm taking care of the house (and the cat) next week. I'll probably have more stories to tell about its bravery, idiocy and general randomness. He also has a shy sister cat but she's boring. She's practicing to be stalker cat, though:
(It's a little blurry because I had to be fast - she's just hanging in the window frame of the door with her front paws)
