Cat Chat Feline Forum

Hi I moved house back in November last year and my cat Charlie (he is 16 years old but very healthy) was fine indoors all of the winter. Come the spring, summer he only wants to be outside and only comes in for food. If I am not in the kitchen he will meow and meow and meow, till I come and let him ...

Thanks everyone for all your replies....I've made an appointment at the vets. Keeping my fingers crossed he's ok.

Ah I see. ...well he hasn't lost his appetite coz he keeps asking for food just doesn't want what I give him.. he'll eat a really small amount and give up or sniffs at the food and won't eat anything. Do you still think he needs bloods taken?

Thanks but why would he need bloods taken?

My cat Charlie is about 11 years old and has always loved his food and pretty much cleaned his dish. Just lately though he doesn't really want to eat any kind of food that I give him, he will eat dried pretty much ok. I've tried him all different varieties of wet food, gravy and jelly and thought th...

Thanks Boobysgirl. He is doing kinda the same thing but doesn't look surprised by it, but after the sneezing he does just carry on and he has no other symptoms that I can see, so yes, thanks Crewella, it maybe just as you say about spores but this is the first time he has ever done it in the 7 years...

Hi
My cat has just recently started sneezing but only when he washes and then 2 or 3 times in a row. Any ideas?

Hi Maria , no his tray is in the flat. When I was talking about the communal area I was referring to outside. So the location of his tray isn't the issue ....any other ideas? Thanks.

Thanks for your reply Janey. As far as I know he is healthy. He not long went to the vets for his booster and a check up and all was fine. It is a communal area though and I did catch him meowing at another cat through a glass door the other night....would this be why he's doing what he's doing and ...

My cat Charlie is suddenly not using his litter tray at times, pooing in the middle of the floor overnight. I moved from a house to a flat last August and after being an outdoor cat he hasn't gone out at all but has just recently started to now the weather is warmer but he doesn't have a cat flap so...

Hi Joanne, whats indoor cat food? Never heard of it?
Hi Bobbys Girl, his name is Charlie and his is about 9 10 years old...and yes he is a big lad, people have always said he is a big cat!

Trying again

Hi Joanne

Unfortinately this site won't acdept the photo I've taken,says its too big! He is a big cat, as,people tell me, he has a long body too.

Hi I'm no expert but I would say they would be better off left in their home environment, as this is their territory and they have scent marked their territory so it is familiar to them and that is more important to a cat than the humans they are with - sorry to say that! (I saw a program on studyin...

Hi My cat weights about 6.5 kg. is this overweight? I can feel his ribs but not overly so, the same with his backbone and even though he doesn't have a particularly noticeable waist, he does go in slightly there, rather than out. He is pretty much constantly asking for food when I am around and I fe...

Thanks Cewella.

How much longer do you ink it should keep him in for!

Thanks Beanie.

In a turn of events....he did go out and then went missing for 2 days!!!!

I only got him back coz I found him at my old place.

Do you think I should keep hi min a bit longer and then take him out with me...I have a harness and lead?

Thanks for all and any replies

Hi Crewella and Merrick
Thanks for your reply, very helpful and I will give him lots of space and time to settle in and maybe one day he will want to go "exploring" again.

My cat is approx 8yrs old and I got him as a rescue cat about 5 yrs ago. He was always an outdoor cat and during the summer I would pretty much only see him for meals, whether it was day or night. I have just moved to a flat after him spending 6 weeks in a cattery (couldn't be helped unfortunately) ...
