Cat Chat Feline Forum

Anyone know of pet blanket for cats that don't hold cat hairs into the blanket fibres.
Not sure if I explained that right Ideally a b lanket that you could just take a single wipe or shake outside. I'm a man so my knowledge on soft furnishing materials is limited

Have two cats both 10 months old, male is 5+kg, female Bree is 3.1 kg I've been thinking of changing their flea treatment to Program Oral Suspension, I know it is a little more expensive but if it cuts down on the monthly treatments then fine. Problem is the choices of treatment is (a) "Small c...

More concerned that Barley's playmate fox forgets him and eats him when the holiday is over

Will try and get a photo of them both, it will need to wait until next week though, off on holiday for a week and cats having a holiday at my daughters place.

This morning calling cats in before going out to town Barley our 8 1/2 month old male came sauntering through the back garden reluctantly and in tow was a young fox, there was no threatening behaviour from the fox towards Barley, and Barley seemed unconcerned with the fox's presence either. It appea...

I think it was a bad idea having two litter boxes in the back room near the computer desk especially while having a session on the PC the cats decide to visit the litter boxes together ... Pwoar!!!

this session will be continued later, what a pong.

Got the collar clic sorted, bought a proper small collar for her from pet shop, threaded it through the collar clic. She fought for about ten minutes trying to get it off then gave up when she realised it was not going to happen. Had her up at the vet this morning and she is quite pleased the way th...

imagine a woman running about and climbing and jumping a couple of days after a hysterectomy, but a cat will!

Funny you mention that, my wife said that is exactly how she felt when she had hers.

Thanks Lilith, she has taken to splashing both front paws in her water bowl and splashing it everywhere like a child who can't resist jumping in puddles, I think she did it to spite us :lol: :lol: . I've posted a link below showing her big bro' looking after her earlier on while she was still feelin...

Our 6 month old Bree was spayed at the vet this morning and she is now getting back to her mischievous self, she came home with a 10cm collar click. All was fine until tonight she has managed to get it off, each time I put it back on her it's off again in less than three minutes. I tried tightening ...

A nice surprise for me stepping out the bedroom this morning, bit's Barley's of poo on the floor everywhere. On laminate flooring and carpet in the hallway. It looks like what I would call a dingleberry, :o a bit of poo that sticks and won't go where it is supposed to, I'm sure us humans get them oc...

I am wondering if my two 5 mth old sibling kittens will ever have a preference on which litter box they use. I have two decent sized boxes and they both get used but also shared. Sometimes one kitty will wait outside a box until the sibling has finished his business then go into the box that has jus...

I have noticed my vet sells Pre-neutered dry food for kittens, what is the difference between pre-nuetered dry food and ordinary dry kitten food you would buy in a store? Now that my 17 week old kitten has been spayed should I be feeding him any different? He has been on a wet food diet since he lef...

Bree (female) is I think going to be a small cat I think, petite even. Although she is putting on weight weekly she is 1.78 kg at the moment. She puts on between 10 and 15 grams per week, I weigh them both weekly. Her feeding has changed a little over the past few days, usually she wont eat much mor...

4 month old Barley visit's the vet on Tuesday to get the snip, his sister Bree has to wait until she's about 6 month''s old.As brother and sister the spend a lot of time grooming/washing each other, when Barley comes home after neutering should I keep both cats in separate rooms for a few days? Will...

Two kittens 13 weeks old, male & female both from same litter. There are two litter boxes in back room that they use on a daily basis, they choose either box whichever suits them at the time, they both share the boxes their choice, sometimes both doing their business at the same time ...I kid yo...

Just wondering how often you guys wash the inside of litter trays. I use Catsan clumping litter and litter tray is emptied of clumps and poo two or three times a day, I'm sure I read somewhere (I maybe wrong) a complete change of clumping litter every two or three weeks and washing the inside of cov...

I eventually took a chance on https://boughtbymany.com lifetime insurance, I know their new kids on the block so hopefully they turn out OK. I got a excellent deal on my two kittens for a lot less than all the long standing pet insurance companies £11.08 per month for both cats and cover up to £7000...

All sorted now, apparently they had to get agency staff in during recent bad weather who were not used to their system. Good news is they told me just to keep the 15L bag of Catsan Ultra clumping LItter which is a bonus as it is the same stuff I use anyway :D New litter box arrived later in ok condi...

I'm no expert I can only say my two kittens when we got them would hide under the chairs or sideboard especially if a stranger (to them) came to the house. Took them about a week to become confident in their surroundings, now three weeks later they run about 90 mph round the house during their mad h...

Ah, I didn't realise there was a width restriction, I use Gimp for editing photos so I can resize on that. Thanks

Not sure how to show image on forum, anyone tell me how?

Didn't know that about Animal Friends, anyone know how Tesco is for paying out?
Their prices for the £4000 lifetime cover seems reasonable for two cats.

Looking for a bit advice on cat insurance. Firstly I've never insured a animal before as last cat was over 30 years ago, I don't think insurance was as available then as it is today also the two kittens I have are non-pedigree types, moggies and cost £40.00 each, mother's owner was looking only for ...

Thanks for the suggestions. They have been getting fed three times a day and I've now upped their meals to 50 grams per meal, they finish their meals completely. What I have noticed they seem to sleep a bit more now. I assume maybe the extra grub is doing it or perhaps another phase and they are sta...

misread post

Kittens now 10 weeks old, just want to check I am giving correct amounts. Male kitten is 1.14 kg and female is 965 gram, female is a smaller build then the male. They get 120 grams each of wet food (Animonda Carny Kitten ) per day and both of them usually finish their bowls, sometimes I'll put down ...

Any regular Zooplus members on Cat Chat, I recently signed up to them, my second order was for several items, one of the items being a covered litterbox withe a doorflap. When it arrived it was broken and cracked in places, I sent off a email to them informing them of the defective litterebox, no pr...

Thanks folks, Funny you mention the cat watching tv Bobbys Girl, Barley likes nothing better than sitting watching the tv, watching his head twitch to the side like he understands whats being said is funny. Should I put CBeebies on for then since their kittens/

I have a gas fire open coals type, fortunately I have a fireguard otherwise I would have two kittens with burned noses. The pair of them occasionally like to sit inches away from the gas fire staring into it, only the fireguard stops them from touching the hot parts and burning themselves. Any sugge...
