Cat Chat Feline Forum

Dear Anna, we are still thinking of you both, and of sweet little Lily. I hope that when the time comes for my babies that they will take their trip to the Bridge on my lap and in my arms too. Sending you love. x

Hi there, fellow cat friends, Does anyone have a cat, or known anyone who does, who is participating in the feline diabetes remission study at the Royal Veterinary College at Potters Bar? Our boy, Edgar, has been on the study since November last year, and it would be useful to chat to someone else w...

Oh, that's better news than we were fearing. So glad. Fusses to your boy. x

Dear Anna, there is nothing we can say to take away the sadness, but please know that we share it with you and we have been crying with you today. Your little girl was loved so much and you couldn't have been a more wonderful mummy to her. I know things will seem very dark today, but you are support...

Hugs to you. I am so sorry. Your boy will be in your heart for ever. XX

So sorry to hear this about your boy, Julia. Give him a kiss from me. Hugs to you. Xx

Oh Anna, I'm so terribly sorry. I've just caught up with this too. Poor darling Lily. Give her a kiss from me and I'm sending hugs to you. Xx

Perhaps you've hit the nail on the head there - that it began when you took the cover off? The cover may have helped the little one feel more secure. Usually toileting outside the litter tray indicates some uncertainty about using the tray. From your cat's point of view it may well have been perfect...

Hello Cindy

Yes, definitely. It could be nothing or it could be something that needs attention or something that will pass, but if her behaviour has changed, even in small ways, and given that she is an older girl, a vet visit is always advisable.

Pixie, you've had lots of responses and you probably don't want another one now, as we are all unanimous. I can understand that you want to see your little girl as a mum - although I would never have put my girls through it, there is something heart warming about the thought of seeing your girl with...

That is stunning!!! What a gorgeous boy!

Oh, how lovely. So glad that your girl knows and loves her home. Really happy for you. x

Excellent news! Well done little Lily! xx

Excellent! Done deliberately like that, I'm sure.

Yes, I would support the cat sitter at home option. We are lucky enough to have stumbled on some excellent, dedicated cat sitters, so I am influenced by that I appreciate. We have had them over long weekends and over Christmas for 5 days and my three were perfectly happy and kept to their routines w...

LOL. She's got you now, Hazel!

Oh, I am so pleased. What a good girl! I understand exactly what you all mean. It is so lovely to see Pepsi bright eyed in the morning after she has had a quiet day and not much evidence of litter tray usage. They are all so precious. Kisses to the little girl.

It's good to hear that Lily isn't dealing with anything in addition to her current problems, bless her. Meowing Heads do a mousse in three flavours which is more like the Sainsbury's TTD mousses than Gourmet Gold. Pepsi likes all three flavours, usually hand fed and warmed a little. I'm not sure abo...

Yes, I agree, keeping them together makes sense. It possibly makes it easier for newcomers to know where to post and for everyone to keep track of as many posts as they would like.

I absolutely agree with Helen - I don't know where I'd be without Cat Chat, so thank you so much for everything!

I'm so sorry to hear this Anna. Like everyone I do hope little Lily makes a turn around in the coming days. We all know how much you are doing for your precious girl. Sending her much love and hugs to you. Xxxx

Oh Anna, just caught up with this. Poor little girl. Good luck tomorrow. Hope she's on the road to recovery tomorrow evening. xx

We are supporting Cats in Crisis and Goldie's Cat Rescue with a concert at St James's Piccadilly on 17 January. Details are all in the attached pictures/flyers. Beautiful music and a purrrfect cause!

Tuesday 23 December Very young torty/tabby girl found East Sheen/Putney borders, London SW15. Approx 8-12 months, unspayed, unchipped, undernourised, very thing. Friendly but cautious. Now in safe foster in same area. Used to people and happy to have a fuss. So sorry, can't get this picture to go th...

Oh, how lovely, Helen. I am so happy for Pugwash and for you. I don't think there is anything more precious than an elderly furbabe. I am so glad he has his own loving home now with you.

He looks wonderful, Helen! Well done to you and the dear boy.

Glad he's better, Julie. Everything fine with us. Pepsi went through a stage of being constipated quite often and we used lactulose - a very small amount - every day. Fortunately, she appears to have got over it, and I wonder if it's because she eats more Lily's Kitchen now. I know Carol and Shelly ...

How's the lovely boy this weekend, Julie? X

Pepsi and Lou Lou are massive lap cats - it's a question of who gets to whose lap first and paws have been raised if the chosen lap of the night has already been taken. Edgar doesn't do laps. He loves a fuss but he doesn't settle long enough for a lap.

Hi Jen

Good to meet you and your furbabes.

I am mum to Pepsi, Lou Lou and Edgar.

There is lots of great advice on here and plenty of humour too.

Hi Hazel Since we had the cat proofing put up and our neighbour cut back his overhanging trees we have sadly had fewer birds but I'm hoping the cold weather will bring them back. Edgar is very interested in them but only attempts to catch the larger birds such as magpies and wood pigeons :lol: So fa...
