Cat Chat Feline Forum

Hello, Hoping someone can advise me. One of my neighbour's has a 7 year old female cat that hasn't been spayed and has never had kittens. The cat has started camping out in my garden (along with a few male admirers) when she is in heat and it's driving me and my neutered male cat mad. He isn't good ...

My neighbours cat is on heat and has spent the last 2 days camping out in my garden making a hell of a racket and stressing out my neutered male as well as myself. Is there anything I can do to deter it? I’ve taken it back to its owners but as it hates being inside they can’t (or won’t) keep it in. ...

Thank you all for your responses. He came out from his hiding place late last night and let me stroke him. He has eaten and is wondering around but is certainly not himself. He didn't sleep much last night so I have stayed at home to day to keep an eye on him. If it is a bite, it would have happened...

Thank you. I think I had better keep a close eye on him, as he is probably in pain.

Hello, I came home this afternoon to find my cat struggling to walk and in discomfort. He had been on on his own in doors all day. Managed to get him to the vet where the limping and crying vanished. Vet examined him and came to the conclusion that he had been in a fight and probably has a puncture ...

Thank you Ruth. I have just got home and he seems bright. No limping or signs of pain. He hasn’t attempted to climb or jump yet so I don’t know if his bounce is back or not. I have booked a provision vet appointment for tomorrow evening just in case, as it was a full on wrestling match rather than a...

Hello My 9 year old neutered male cat decided to pick a fight with another cat yesterday morning. I managed to get him away and checked him over for obvious wounds. I couldn’t see anything. He went off and slept for the next 5 hours. After he woke up and had something to eat I noticed that he was un...

Took him to the vet yesterday. They could find no reason why he is off his food. No bad dental problems, stomach ok. Temperature ok. He han’t Lost weight. They didn’t say anything about possible constipation though. Vet thinks it might be his metabolism slowing down! Since the visit he has eaten som...

His teeth seem ok. I have tried pate type food but he won’t even lick it. I gave him few small pieces of lamb that I had for dinner this evening. He loved it and chomped his way through it, so he hasn’t got a problem chewing. I will try the paper collar idea and hope he falls back in love with the f...

Hi. I’m looking for advice as I am at my wits end. My 9 year old male cat has over the past week decided he dorsn’t Like any of the cat food I give him. He has always been a bit fussy but things are now out of hand. He fusses for food but any I give him, previous favourites, new varieties, cheap, ex...

I haven’t been able to check as he goes to the toilet outside. He does have a litter tray but he only uses it when he needs a wee and is inside.

Hello My 9 year old male cat often drags his bottom along the carpet and is often licking his nether regions. He doesn’t do it after going to the toilet so his bottom is clean. I told the vet a few weeks ago who checked his anal glands which were ok. Told me to apply Sudocream if his bottom looks so...

My beautiful cat is 21 and is blind and deaf. She has high blood pressure, kidney disease and hyper thyroidsim, all of which are under control. She now has been diagnosed with dementia. She is eating well but seems lost and confused. She keeps walking into things and struggling to find her way aroun...

Thank you for that re-assurance. I am probably stressing more than the cat ever will, but as I am still getting my head round the fact that my baby can no longer see, I am struggling with my emotions and thinking that I am being cruel by moving home.

Hello I am in the process of moving from a flat to a house and will be taking my lovely 21 year old cat with me. She has been partially deaf for a couple of years and was diagnosed with hyperthyroidism in January. My worry about now she will cope with the move has been made greater because she has n...

Hello My cat is 20 years old and having lost most of the spring in her legs, uses her claws to clamber onto furniture etc.. :shock: This morning I notice that she only extended the claws in one of her front feet which made it harder for her to climb, although is managed eventually. :( She hates anyo...
