Re: Help with cats diarrhoea, at wits end
Agree with Molly. Please stick to a single food for a while. I suggest a single protein food, preferably grain free. My kitten had diarrhoea for a few weeks before it started to settle. I stuck to one food source and also gave pro-kolin to help firm up the stools. Now he eats anything and has no iss...

Re: Senile cat?
It's really hit and miss fjm. I've put down puppy pads on areas that can't be cleaned easily, like on the base of the cat scratching tower. Other then that she does it anywhere. Even wees in her bed!! Poor thing.

Re: Senile cat?
Thank you Mollycat. She's healthy in herself, still eating and drinking. She's slightly deaf and also blindish, has cataracts in both eyes. She's indoor only now. Use to be outdoor but over the last couple of years we've lost her as she never found her way back home. So lucky to have found her twice...

Senile cat?
My cat is 15yrs old. I think she may be senile as she's not using the litter tray very well. Some days she uses it, other days we find puddles on the floor. Anyone looked after a senile cat? What can you do?

Re: Recurrent UTI
Hi and welcome!
Many factors for UTI. It could be stress? How old is she? Does your cat eat wet or dry food? Make sure she gets plenty of water if on dry food or switch to wet to see if that helps.

My vet has heard a grade 1 heart murmur in my cat – should my cat have further tests performed?
Visited the vet today for routine check and jabs. He mentioned that my cat has a grade 1 heart murmur. He told me it wasn't due to stress from visiting the vets. My cat is 3yrs old and he REALLY gets stressed at the vets. I've read online that stress can cause low grade murmurs. He's happy and healt...

Now I just cut off the grass as near to the bottom as possible, after letting it grow to maximum height, then i just snip it into tiny 5mm pieces on top of th...

Welcome to the forum. I remember when mine had kittens, I kept them all safe in a large crate. She originally gave birth under the dining room chairs.

Re: Help introducing dog to cat
I agree with Sniper1 about treating your cat everytime the dog arrives. It will then start to associate treats with the dog!
Don't put her treat in his dog bowl. You wouldn't want to eat off somebody elses plate!

Hi and welcome to the forum. I've never introduced a dog to a cat but I've introduced a new kitten to a resident cat several times. It's mostly scent swapping and letting your cat approach the dog on its own terms. Do not force the cat to meet the dog. Dogs behave differently to cats and may get exc...

Re: the ever popular food question....
My cat is a little fussy. Some wet foods he won't eat. The only way I can get him to eat it is to mix it with his favourite dry food! That does the trick. It's a 50/50 mix of wet and dry. Maybe try mixing a tiny amount of wet food to his dry and gradually increase it.

Re: Ragdolls
Hi Ruth B, Did you have to groom your ragdoll alot? I asked my friend who has two ragdolls and she said she wouldn't get long haired again as it was high maintenance and she took the cats to the groomers twice a year to keep the knots and matting down.
