She’s gorgeous. Do you think you need to f/up on microchip transfer? Hopefully they’ll not worry about the adoption fees? We’ve just had an announcement cyclone watch for Oma don’t know how many times they’ve changed their minds on what Oma’s doing. It’s a tad windy but nothing to worrying, they say...

Hi Desley sounds Chanel’s coming along heaps & bounds. Maybe she know she’s has her furever home. You’ve had snow & up North Qld, Townsville, floods - one in a 500-yr event our premier’s calling it. Alas while the farmers out west needed rain after 4yrs drought they now are suffering stock loss due ...

Hi the rescue organisation I’ve an involvement with asks for a landlord’s written agreement that cats are allowed. Unsure if the letting agency can dictate over the landlord. And of course if the holding is sold to anew landlord this may override any previous agreements. Think Lilith’s advice on con...

If considering a Maine Coon check gene lines, medical history as apparently they can have heart defects resulting in disastrous consequences when the cat is still quite young.

Definite change in attitude. Btw I pmsged you & re your comment about humans moving in. Years ago a male friend commented to me on watching me with Mayday “If I laid on your couch all day would you cuddle & stroke me?” “ Yep if you used the litter tray & ate cat food..” Conversation closed. :lol: Vi...

Keep us posted. Hope the specialist has answers. Tripe YUK...Vivian

Well done Georgie. I think they’re very intuitive. For the past 2 weeks Snow has been a bit “motherly” to me. Seems as though she knows I’m feeling down & is trying to reassure me. Usually it’s TC who picks up on my moods perhaps he doesn’t understand while Snow being older perhaps does. Then Bentle...

Hi Desley that’s good news after the start others have had to 2019. I’m sure you’re relieved no more hassles. Btw I have ‘issues’ can I move in too? Vivian

Hi definitely get vet to check but if they’ve missed a prolapsed bowel. Have the tested for coccidiea (sp)a nasty parasite & contagious .....?

Hello Oddcat so much sad news. Feeling for you, Bobby’s Girl & June. I volunteer for a vet at weekends & one of the vet nurses whom I’m very fond of said to me on me telling her how sad I was about lovely Freddie “He’s at the bridge with Mayday, Elsa & Penny”. Now we can add Cupcake & Spike. Thinkin...

Have had tears over this. So devastating. ((((Hugs)))) Sue. I’m still hoping for a miracle. You & Dave are in my & my friends’ thoughts & prayers. Vivian

Hi Folks yes Lilith we’re in Qld but the cyclone up North. We have organised fireworks eg Sydney Harbour Bridge, we have barges on the Brisbane River. Some rebels manage to get their hands on a few loose ‘bangers’. Alas I couldn’t get into NY as upset about Freddie. Last night watched the “Military ...

I’ve been praying as have friends of mine over here that Freddie’s strayed into a garage & locked up for the NY. Such a horrible feeling. Let’s combine all the +ve power for Freddie’s return. Poor boy had a torrid time in 18. Vivian

Hi June my heart goes out to you on losing Spike. Wow 23 yrs that’s fantastic hold onto that. Rest assured he’ll always be with you. Why would he leave after being loved for all that time. Pls be kind to yourself as you grieve & post whatever & whenever as people here empathise & understand. As Lili...

Your Shini has similar coloured eyes to my Pebbles .. an oriental-x. Not blue or green, turquoise like. A Japanese vet told me that Asians with blood type B result in similar coloured eyes. Think she’s beautiful. Good luck. Vivian & the Famous Five from Oz.

Hi Desley hope you, Coco & Chanel had a great Xmas. They certainly look very contented girls on that mat. Fusses to the beautiful girls, Vivian & the Famous Five from Oz.

Hi pls accept my sincere sympathies on Megz’s passing. We all empathise with you. Rest assured you’ll receive all the support when & if needed here as you work your way through your grief & loss. I discovered this site 3yrs ago on losing my Mayday, my avatar. How I found this forum I’ve no idea I re...

Hi Tanner re posting pics see Yogi’s suggestions for resizing & posting. My Pebbles has Oriental in her which we think Siamese but she’s black & white with aqua green eyes. A Japanese vet told me that Asians with blood group B often have these coloured eyes. Genetics do strange things. And yes pls g...

Hi Andy I’m sure Lilith would agree that Paul’s around you as I do too. I often dream of Mayday & while waking feeling her loss, say to myself while she’s no longer with me physically she’s with me spiritually. You & Paul shared a special bond obvious with the time he chose to spend with you. This b...

Hi Ruth although published in the UK I’ve posted to my FB as I think it was an interesting article & as I volunteer for a vet agree with the analysis. Thanks for sharing. Vivian

Hi Andy like Lilith I’ve been wondering about Paul & while not posting, I’ve been monitoring posts. So sad to read about Paul. And I agree with Kay’s comment about not depriving yourself of a feline family member. I’d be lost without the ”The Famous Five from Oz”. Yes Pebbles is still with me & frie...

Hi please accept my sympathies on the passing of your lovely Moomoo. My Mayday was a Tortie (shevwasnt a naughty Tortie) & they certainly leave paw prints on your heart. It will take time to work through your feelings of loss please don’t rush the process. If you need support please don’t hesitate t...

Hi Jules my heart goes out to you on Merlin. We all go through the guilts, second guessing if we did the right thing, if only. Merlin was truely loved for 20 yrs & I’m sure you wouldn’t have wanted him to suffer. You’ll get lots of support here. Forgive me if I lost something in your post but are yo...

Hi Ruth Paws xd that Tiggy’s on the mend now that the issues been diagnosed. Ahh the antics of pill giving to cats. I’ve been sneezing too . me thinks sinus issues too. Keep us posted. Fusses to Tiggy. Btw I can’t have a shower without Harper jumping up on the screen & TC sitting on the loo scratchi...

Hi Andy lucky you with cooling weather. It’s dam hot here & it’s only November!! The Famous Five from Oz have been stretched out on tiles grateful of ceiling fans I’ve just put in. And Lilith I love a real cold ale on a hot day!! Vivian

Ahh that pic says it all as Ruth’s words do too!! They look so contented & they’re certainly beauties. Fusses to them Vivian

Hi Dave Mia’s twitching tail seems to indicate she’s happy! Perhaps the retreating is a way of playing. Pebbles sometimes does the twitching tail when she sees me. Good news Hendrix’s ops happening this week. Keep us posted. Vivian

Hi Andy glad you were proactive with enquiring about Paul. Strangevthe owner hasn’t contacted you. And I’ve done hasty things when I’ve had a couple of vinos. Hoping there’s news of Paul soon. Perhaps he’s hiding somewhere. So worrying when you don’t know what’s happened. Keep us posted btw The Famo...

Hi Tysiana my Harper’s a tuxedo & a female. She’s a terror & rules it over my other four. As Lilith says watch Mika & if she starts “calling” keep her under lock & key!! Apparently another trait if they’re coming into season is that they rstart getting very affectionate. When I had Harper speyed the...

Hi Desley uuumm with the long-term fostering are you given any practical support? I’m fostering Pebbles but I have to provide food, flea/worm treatments. The only requisite is if she needs to see a vet I have to contact the president & if she says yes I go to the charity’s approved vet. LPs also has...
