Cat Chat Feline Forum

Thanks so much to everyone who's so far aired their thoughts. Much appreciated. Interesting to hear the explanation of why Americans have such a low opinion of Purina, Ruth. What you say definitely makes sense, bearing in mind how unregulated the US still is in so many ways. Getting old Mouse vet-ch...

Hi. I live in the UK and my cat Mouse has been a wet food cat for nine years now. Although he's tried all kinds of wet food over the years, he's always got on best with Felix (though obviously I've had to vary the flavours a lot, to keep him interested). Now, I realise that a lot of snooty cat owner...

Crewella, thanks for the practical advice. I'm sincerely hoping that the first week is/was indeed the worst - but dear god, the yowling was dreadful at breakfast time today (day 8) and very nearly sent me off my chump.

Thanks also for the get-well wishe...

Lilith and alanc, many thanks for your responses and please accept my apologies for being so slow to reply. I seem to have very little time at my disposal right now (I think I'd better get up an hour earlier in the morning just to keep on top of the cat situation) - and old Mouse regularly embarks o...

Hi. My beautiful, thoughtful, gentle, polite, intelligent and much-loved tuxedo cat Mouse went out last Friday night and didn't reappear the next day. It was totally out of character, so I was deeply worried and went out searching, but couldn't find him. By the time I went to bed on Saturday night, ...
