Re: FOUND-SCHOOL AYCLIFFE-Ginger Tom

Hi, Well that does sound like he might possibly be homeless or lost, although he might just prefer your garden to his own! You could start by putting a few notes through doors in your local area (with a photo of the cat on if you can) to ask if the cat is theirs, to give you a call? Does he look a b...

Re: FIV vet in London UK

Hello, One that I know of is Kitten to Cat in Richmond, ( http://www.kittentocat.com/ ) which is a cat-only vets. That might be a bit far out though? Or - what you could do is contact one of the FIV Friendly rehoming organisations in London, and either see if you can go to their own vets, or if they...

Re: Help required.

Hi Cattyh, I just want to first echo what Ruth B said - well done to your mum for caring for these cats all this time, and also to ensure they are all neutered / spayed. It would be better if they can stay in their familiar territory, so if neighbours could help out that would be best. As Ruth says,...

Re: 'Remember me' but having to log in again?

Hi all, Thanks for the extra feedback! It's sounding more likely that this issue is down to individual browser settings. It's always possible that when a browser updates itself (to a new version) that potentially there could be new/different/stricter settings that you aren't even aware of, so you ma...

Re: Am I a robot? / login issue

Hi Lilith, I think you just need to learn how to 'Copy and Paste'. If you do a google search for 'copy and paste' there are lots of guides, I promise you it is easy! Essentially all you are doing is typing your text onto a plain document (not the forum), then 'copying' it from your document and 'pas...

Re: Am I a robot? / login issue

Hi Lilith, I feel your frustration! We will have a look at how/when the 'robot" CAPTCHA kicks in, once we've worked out the issue of being logged out. As they are two separate things, we need to work one out before the other, so that we know what is affecting/solving what. In the meantime, when...

It's possible that whatever is/was happening may have already logged you out prior to 5.20, so if you can see what happens from now on that would be great.

Thanks for those suggestions. I will pass on the advice to test for CKD, that's a good thought. I'll also suggest the poo sample idea, not sure if they've done that or not. It sounds unlikely there's anything spilt on the patio causing the issues, as the garden is enclosed away from any road, and th...

Hi Tracey, I expect you have already thought of this, but you should be able to get them into a boarding cattery this time of year.
