Cat Chat Feline Forum

Thank you all.. I still feel bad he didn't get the attention he used to in his final weeks but with a new baby and a needy toddler getting to grips with being a big brother I don't know that I would have managed anything different as my lap is basically always occupied. he has a nice spot in the gar...

In the end we have opted to say that Puck was very old and his body stopped working and he died. I have tried to avoid talking about him being sick (though he remembers that he was sick last week) or going to sleep and not waking up as I don't want him to think that these things mean you will die :(...

I told him last night as he asked to go see him, but he didn't really seem to understand and then started asking about crisps.. He did have 2 night terrors last night but I don't know if that is related, he didn't talk about it this morning at any rate. I haven't actually buried Puck as yet, I had b...

Thank you x It was one of the hardest things I ever had to do, I cried buckets before and throughout and stroked his fur and told him how sorry I was and that I loved him, I still feel terrible for not seeing earlier signs when maybe something could have been done, I feel sure I would have in the ol...

would you have let her see him? be part of the burial?

Hello, I am not sure if this is the right place to ask this but I hope others have been in the same situation. After a short period of illness which our son knows about though how much he understands I don't know, I took our 17 year old cat to the vets this morning and sadly found out that he had ki...

Thank you everybody for your advice and support. I took him to the vets first thing this morning and the vet confirmed that his kidneys were failing and I made the painful decision to have him put to sleep. I cried buckets but I know it was the right decision as since yesterday he wasn't even intere...

It doesn't look like it they do an out of hours service, nothing on their website or Facebook page. We are in Norway and out of hours anything is pretty uncommon (the whole country closes on Sundays...). I wish I had taken him on Friday rather than just getting different food ☹ but at the time he wa...

He is definitely dehydrated. I squeezed the skin and it stayed there I will call the vets tomorrow morning, hopefully they can see me tomorrow

to be honest, I am not sure if he has been drinking more :( I feel terrible as I have been so busy with the new baby that the cats have been getting their needs met but not much extra attention and we have a water fountain thing for them so we are not refilling bowls. Thinking back, there were some ...

Thank you. We have found some homemade turkey stock in the freezer so we will try to tempt him with that. I originally assumed it was teeth (they have always been on dry food) and eating the very soft food yesterday seemed to confirm that then when he hasn't wanted anything today I began to get less...

Hello, My 17 year old cat has always been thin but has very suddenly lost a lot of weight this week, we noticed on Thursday night and as recently as last weekend he seemed fine other than being a bit stiff in his hips and sleeping a lot but he has been like that for a long time which we assumed was ...
