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...

Hi 2 weeks seems a long time to wait for Hendrix’s op. They must be a very busy practice. Think Lilith’s has given good advice re Mia having access to your bedroom. Hopefully with your weather cooling both will prefer to curl up inside. Keep us posted. Btw mt TC is a tad over 7kg! Vivian

Hi Issie .. great news on Gandhi. As for your comments regarding the support given on your losses I totally agree. I think this forum has very like minded people albeit we cover the globe. I’ll always remember the kind words you posted to me on Mayday’s passing & the reaction of my bf’s husband. TG ...

Hi Andy in times like this my suggestion is to go with what “feels right” ie take notice of your inner voice or gut instinct. When I’ve been in situations & have gone against my gut instinct it’s gone pear shaped. On that note it wouldn’t be friendly if the owner took offence to your enquiry. She to...

Hi Lilith, Mrs Skater & Ruth, Samhain I’ve not heard of. I too am not a fan of the trick or treat. Haloween is not part of the Oz culture but has gained momentum in the last 15yrs. I kept my doors locked. Never heard of Mischief Night. Lilith I hold on to the thought that there is another door to go...

Hi Nicky I’ve just read your posts on losing Hendrix, please accept my condolences. I found this forum when I lost my Mayday ... my avatar. I was suffering the most incredible grief & it was the support & understanding I received from people on this site that helped me. Some of those people are supp...

I still hide my loo paper as Harper spreads it throughout the house. Vivian

Hi Andy I think it’s sweet of you to care for Paul. And reading between the lines he’s very fond of you!! I’m not impressed with the owner’s attitude. After calling in you’d think she’d have made an effort to track you down & thank you for looking after Paul. There’s the old saying ..”cats pick you!...

Lovely pics. Billy & Freddie are really checking out Bob in the cage..Freddie thinking ..”Uum I was in there a couple of weeks ago.” Has Freddie’s fur recovered a tad where he had his op? The Famous Five from Oz send meows. Vivian PS Just read your Freddie post with pic ... he really is a majestic b...

Hi Issi lovely to read about Gandhi & his new lease on life. Vivian

Hello & welcome Alrhios poor little kitty. As Lilith posted keep us posted & tell the vet there’s fusses from cyberspace for the little un.

Hi & welcome. 1st +ve thoughts for Pablo’s op & treatment. He’ll smell strange to Hugo so pls consider Ruth’s comments & I’m sure others will post advice. It’s a worry when things go from serenity to chaos. And on that note, be proud of yourselves for persevering & looking for advice & support which...

Birds of feather ... they say if you can count on one hand true friends you’re lucky. I’m think I’m up to 3 Vivian

Hi Andy congrats on your new addition. I too have a Pebbles. An exotic Oriental x. She was adopted but they had a 13 yr old who didn’t cope. I think they would’ve worked things out but they panicked so she’s back with me & my four. Looking forward to pics of Jess I assume is the new little un. Vivia...

Looks to me that Hendrix is being a typical annoying little brother...very cute videos. Vivian

Hi Tilley looks a bit unsure with her new friend. Has she growled at it? Vivian

Oh she’s so much like my mum’s Burman Tim Tam who came to live with mum from my sister as she was being bullied by a Manx, Molly. Mum called one day saying “Kit Kat was settling.” “Mum it’s Tim Tam.” “Oh I knew she as named after some kind of chocolate!” :lol: Timmy passed not quite a yr after my mu...

Hi Desley ... so they’re pushing the boundaries a tad. They must be feeling comfortable. Such lucky girls with the catio. Vivian

Hi Bean .. welcome to Cat Chat. I agree with Ruth’s comment. If the cat is injured an abscess can make him really sick unless treated. And the fact he’s ‘in tact’ he’ll be a target for other Toms & then there’s Feline Aids...I’d rescue both if you can.

Hi Tinkerbeth I’d be contacting a vet & taking a stool sample. Could be bacteria infection from mum. Better to be safe as kittens can go down very quickly, My Harper had to be treated for cocedia 2x. Something she caught from her mum & is quite nasty & contagious. Had to treat her & my other three w...

Thanks Lilith. Donna’s promoting her via her’s & daughter’s network. She’s a funny thing & needs to be with her doting furever family.
