How about Tiki in a donut collar. He has a boo boo paw due to allergies. He's so big I use a donut collar and then a dog cone to push it out far enough so he can't get to his paw so it will heal. He's currently enjoying a supervised cone free moment.

Awww, poor Tiki. I always feel so bad when they have to wear the cone. Hope he gets better soon.

Anyone have any ideas what breed Tiki is. I was told he was a maine coon mix. While he doesn't have the double paws or the long coat he has a big head, very large paws and just a very stocky body. He's a little fat but he's basically walking muscle with a head and 4 legs and a tail. He's a big cat.................. Plus he's all dog in the personality department. When I said he was part maine coon to our vet she was like no he's not which kind of irritated me. He could be a mix. Any theory, can you do DNA tests on cats?

I know you can dna test dogs but not sure about cats. He looks like a typical burly tabby to me but looks can be deceiving. One of my moms neighbors adopted a “beagle” mix that turned out to have no beagle whatsoever in his dna when tested.

I found this.

https://www.mycatdna.com/en/mycatdna-cats-dna-testing-service/. Amazon has one too for $89

Not that money is a priority for this right now but I'd like to do it sometime.

Mouse is 11.4 lbs but looks sooo tiny next to the beast.

So comfy!

I like the white half mustache.

This is my sister's boy, lying oh so innocently next to the new little sister and her kitten food.

Aaaand, making his move. He is relentless in his quest. His littermate sister doesn’t seem to care nearly as much.

You can certainly test them. According to DNA tests, one of my 60 pound dogs is 1/4 yorkie, the other 60 pound dog 1/2 Maltese. I'm not saying it's not POSSIBLE, but I am not 100% convinced.

Our poor middle girl has an ear and thyroid infection. $412. I’m not sure if I feel worse for her or us! lol (Just kidding, of course)

The things we do for our fur babies. I never let cost bother me. I figured it would all work out.

I had an older cat that was having issues with defecation in the last months of his life. Then I remembered he’d poop whenever I had him in the car going over to the cat lodge. Sooooo, I took him "out for a ride" to help him with that issue. It worked.

I wish I'd found a solution to Oscar's issues! She pooped everywhere. Everywhere but her litter box.

Pacino peed everywhere when he was sick. He was good though because I put wee wee pads all over the place and he went on those so thankfully he wasn't constantly looking for somewhere else to go. Yay for multi pack of wee wee pads at BJ's Warehouse.
