Cat Chat Feline Forum

We sort of stole Wolfie...his first owners moved and left him behind. Probably the 'right' thing to do in some eyes would have been to find out where they moved to and bring him over. However anyone who is comfortable leaving a cat outside with no way of getting back in on fireworks night and then m...

We've used our cat flap on 'in but not out' mode at nighttime (dusk onwards) for some years and occasionally when we have been away overnight with few problems. we have had some problems with one of ours working out how to open it when its locked as well as the odd 'catch' (mainly strays - one of wh...

We had a cat that broke her tail in a RTA and had to have it amputated. This is going back some time though - it happened back in 1991. She managed very well without one for the next 6 years however she had also suffered nerve damage at the base of her tail which affected her bowels so she used to g...

looks like the sort of thing they do in the Chinese restaurant .... Is he thinking of applying for a job in your local Chinese?

I had to laugh but does your OH know you put a mouse in his lunchbox?

Mine would go spare if I did that - not that I'd tell him if I did anyway !!

I just love this whole thread but Acrocat is just brilliant...made my day

One of our cats chases the little dots you get when the sun reflects off watch faces onto the walls or floor - he is the only cat I've known that does this - our other two just aren't interested. As sunshine can't be guaranteed in the UK we bought Mali a laser pointer which he love to chase - while ...

We have 2 ponds one has fish in the other doesn't. We dug the non fish one in the summer of 1992 and by the following spring we had dozens of fornicating frogs resulting in loads of frogspawn. Until this year. We saw very few frogs this spring and we only have one batch of frogspawn as far as I can ...

I'm reading this through a load of paw prints I haven't got round to wiping off the laptop screen (that'll teach me to leave it open screen upwards.....

we've had the same problem too - funnily enough usually on Wolfie and not on the other 2 - MAli is long haired and Kitty is a torty.... Not sure if I want to get a humidifier though.... Reminds me of my first job in London where we had nylon carpets - we'd shuffle along to build up the charge and th...

Merry Christmas from Wolfie Kitty and Mali (who almost demolished the tree earlier....)

I wish I could say the same for here but we have had a succession of them through the years we have lived here. They don't always come round every day at the same time but we usually put out our own cats leavings for them and if we actually see them (and they don't run away) we put out more food if ...

I agree its worth the risk - and yes for the really good hunters out there that can still catch birds with a bell attached to their collar try two bells - apparently 2 rattle against each other and are more difficult to keep quiet. The other thing that we found useful was putting holly round the bas...

I remember one of ours that decided that she wanted to have kittens under the floorboards in our airing cupboard. Luckily we discovered her checking it out in time and managed to lock the cupboard so she had them under a chest of drawers instead...(Good job too as one of the litter wouldn't have sur...

We use a human Tangleteezer on Mali (very fluffy suspected Maine coon cross) he loves it but then we do groom him regularly and started when he was little....

Coincidentally there's a thread on Health and behaviour on foxes at the moment....

we have foxes around us - we're on the edge of town and there is an allotment and school fields at the end of our road and there at least 2 in the area. One of them is a large magnificent creature with a big brush the other is a bit smaller and his(her?) tail is a bit scrawnier. They come up to the ...

It would be a good idea to get him checked out by the vet to make sure there isn't any underlying health issue that is causing this. It sounds like there may be an issue as wet food doesn't in itself cause watery poo and moving to totally dry food without veterinary advice could cause further compli...

I'm likewise but hopefully someone will be along who can answer - hope you do find an answer.

I think opposable thumbs would worry me more......

She is an absolute stunner and I am so pleased to see she is picking up.

Sending a big cuddle and lots of really good vibes for her

Gorgeous.......

We do put our cat flap on a one way lock at dusk - in but not out. Its the only way I can sleep knowing they are all safe.

It totally stopped all the unwelcome gifts overnight....

He looks like a young Wolfie....see my avatar...

Hopefully he will turn out just as soppy and gorgeous

OMG what a stunner.....

It sounds like she won't get very far with the owners of this cat - is it neutered? Would cat proofing her garden be a solution ? There have been other threads on cat proofing and a number of people on here have done it for various reasons. It may be expensive but the cost could be offset by the vet...

Are you feeding the same food as she had at the place you adopted her from ? It may be a change in diet ?

The most worrying thing happened to us a couple of weeks ago - found a pigeon wing in the lounge and another upstairs in our room. No sign of the pigeon indoors or out.

Hopefully it was consumed in a neighbours garden ....

BTW Midge is gorgeous - lovely markings.....

Whatever you do please don't advertise them free to good homes.

People often reply to these adverts who are looking for cats/kittens to act as bait for dog fighters so please don't advertise them for free. Hopefully you should be able to get some help from the local animal charities.

Wolfie decided the safest place for him to be was on my pillow wrapped round my head. Not the most comfortable night for me given the temperature but didn't want to disturb him.....
