Cat Chat Feline Forum

I got Diesel in Oct 2013 aged approx. 18 months. He is a very handsome large (6kg) black and white neutered Tom. I knew he had been badly treated in the past but was happy to take him on. Life was generally fine – there was the odd swipe at visitors who walked past him and the odd growl if he was pe...

Thanks for your reply Crewella. Yes, it is very scarey how quickly things can go wrong.

Thanks again x

My lovely boy Diesel (4 1/2 years, rescue cat, badly treated before coming to me) is very unwell. He was admitted to hospital on Monday with a urinary blockage and had a catheter to empty his bladder. Cause thought to be stress. He was not happy at all to be at the vets. He came home three days late...
