Cat Chat Feline Forum

Thank you, Mollycat and Ruth b for your helpful replies. Both of you have been very helpful. I was at my vets last week to apologise for Milly missing her appointment. I think if I arrange an appointment for when my grandson Is available I may manage(with Milly), taking your advice into account. I w...

I have had two rescued semi feral cats for seven months. One of them, Millie, has let me administer flea treatment with a lot of difficulty. The other, Pebbles, has never allowed herself to be held at all and runs as soon as I try to put it on. They both have lovely natures but are just terrified. S...

So sorry for taking so long in responding. Millie was given a course of antibiotics and if this didn't help the vet was going to get a sample of her poo examined.

I started them on exactly the same as the foster carer gave them, which was half a pouch of wet food morning and night along with a bowl of dry, then tried just dry food. Then the vet gave me a tube of medpac which made no difference. Then the foster carer said if I tried boiled chicken and rice wit...

Initially I thought only one had it but I've now managed to confirm it's affecting both. Apart from ...

We had a kitten who died at 6 months old after our vet discovered she had an enlarged heart. She was lively and healthy until one Friday, I noticed she was a bit quiet and wasn't keen on her food. Saw the vet on Saturday and it was decided to see how she went over the weekend. Monday morning - no be...
