Hi everyone, So Mia's had the operation today and it went well. There are no signs of any secondary cancer and she had a fair size lump removed. She was ko'd when we picked her up but as soon as we got her in the car she was bubbly. The Vet said not to let her jump around too much. But how is that p...

Hi guys, Ellie, Mia's sister (non biological), has stopped using the litter tray over the past few weeks/a month. She was peeing in a spot by the door, so we bought another litter box and put it there. She poos in there but she won't pee in there (or the other tray). She's ten years old, should we r...

Hi everyone, Went to Vets yesterday (much to Mia's dissatisfaction!). The anti-inflamatory tablets that she has been taking have reduced some of the swelling.

Sorry, I never know whether to call them legs or arms :) Last week my partner picked up our 9 year old tuxedo cat. She likes to watch me do the bins in the back garden :) She is very healthy and alert and w've not noticed any change in behaviour. When lifting her to the window ledge my partner felt ...
