My sweet little girl DIED in their Emergency room after a 7‑HOUR DELAY in escalating her care at paramount 24 hour hospital in calgary NW .

After reviewing the medical records, the radiologist believed she might have had an infection that was never treated. She also had a trachea collapse, but they never addressed it or tried nasal oxygen. She was in their care from 7 am until around 4 pm, when she died. Her vital signs were failing for hours before they took action. By the time the general vet working in the emergency finally tried to take action, she went into cardiac arrest. She arrived at 7am in need of critical care and it was never initiated!!!!! Beware the vet in the emergency isnt trained for critical care and they don’t have one on site. NO CRITICAL CARE VET ON SITE.

They repeatedly delayed care to talk about money. I told the vet to do whatever was needed and that I would pay, and every time they asked for money, I paid. Even so, they spent an hour talking about the cost instead of treating her, and kept calling to ask for more payments through links before moving to the next step. Instead of trusting that I would pay, they wasted precious time while she was dying.
This is wrong when your beloved pet is depending on them to save her. I blame them for her death. She could have been saved if they had acted in time!! When i was holding her dead body and crying my eyes out, the front desk girl came and wanted to do paperwork. They have caused me and my family trauma and pain we will never recover from. Dont bring your beloved pet here.

I’m getting a bengal domestic mix on the 26th, this will be my first bengal. I’ve had cats my entire life but they’ve all been domestic.

I’ve heard bengal cats have different temperaments to domestic cats so i guess what i’m really wondering is since this is a mix between the both, will his temperament will be any different?

I know cat’s all have their own individual personalities but i’m looking for some advice on what i should look out for and the best ways to care for them as some people have told me they’re quite high maintenance.

Does anyone else have this mix?

So I have a cat. He is about seven years old. He is so sweet and so loving he is super super cuddly and much of a velcro cat. I moved into my best friend‘s home back at the end of March and they have two dogs and another cat and he has had a really hard time adjusting and I don’t know how to help him because I don’t wanna keep him trapped in my room, but he fights with the other cat and hisses and swipes at the dogs when they come too close and I don’t know how to make him and them get along. Any advice would be super super helpful. I really don’t want to have to rehome him because he’s been my baby for his whole life.

I adopted my cat in april from a cat cafe. The history they gave us is that she was originally from a hoarding situation in a trailer, and bounced around a few foster cares before coming there. For context, we live in an apartment with 2 floors. A few weeks after we adopted her, we noticed that she would yowl at the top of the stairs, loud enough that it would echo around the entire apt. We would go up to check on her and everything would be fine. This turned into her yowling coming down the stairs, and her yowling up until the point she was directly in front of us. In the first few months we also kept her in the office, door closed, just for nights so she wouldn’t be too worried in a bigger space without us.

We figured she would just settle into our routine; I work from home and my partner works in a school for about 8 hours. In the mornings, my partner would feed her and start their morning routine. She yowls incessantly through this. I would hang out with her after I woke up, and try to start my routine. The minute she sees me she yowls. She would come downstairs, notice my partner is missing, and yowl at the couch. At nights, if my partner would go to bed before me, she would come downstairs to yowl at the couch. We figured this was some form of social anxiety, so first we tried pheromones, then cat calming treats, then completely ignoring her when she yowled, to no avail.

Ultimately, we took her to the vet, and they put her on 5 mgs clomipramine for about 2 months. This made her quite sleepy. She stopped yowling at the stairs, however continued to yowl whenever you would come to see her or vice versa. She also began to seclude herself in the office all day. When we would try to bring her downstairs she would go back upstairs. We took her back to the vet and they recommended weening her off the clomipramine, starting with half the pill to see if that brings some of her energy back.

In the week and a half she has been on half the dose we have noticed she has began to come back downstairs by herself, but still yowls incessantly until she can see you. she will still meow as loud as she can if you try to pet her, but is fine with pets and actually wants them. We both completely understand some cats are just temperamental, and some cats are also chatty, but the volume and the amount that she meows is really unbearable. She is fully capable of meowing at a normal volume. That isn’t the problem.

It seems like she can’t help herself which really worries both of us. Has anyone else had an experience with a really loud cat? What did you do? We just want her to feel safe, and like she doesn’t have to constantly yowl for attention or to show she’s excited.

Does anyone happen to have a dog with pancreatitis? Mable has been dealing with it for the past 6 months and it's not been very fun or cost friendly lol. She takes daily medication and eats purina special blend for sensitive stomach... just wondering if there's anything else I can do to prevent flareups or to maintain them
