Cat Chat Feline Forum

Henry and Tips are now 16.5 years old They have unlimited access to a secure garden, but very rarely go into it. When we go away, my mother in law comes to live in and look after them They have had their boosters religiously every year, but given their very sheltered life, I am wondering whether the...

Our cat Tips is over sixteen years old. She has been blind since she was a kitten and has never let it stop her from having a great life. We have a large secure garden which her and her litter mate Henry can access (not that either of them do much these days) Recently Tips seems to have had more dif...

I have had my girl Tips since she was 6 weeks old (we adopted her and her mummy and litter mates en masse!) She could certainly see when she first came to us. A few months later, she went through a brief period of being spooked. We assumed it was because we had friends staying. After that she settle...

I would get started straight away too.

From what I understand, inirially the key is getting levels correct which can involve regular blood tests.

However, your vet is the best person to advise.

Can you find someone else to help when you are away if need be?

It could be that the cat is constipated. Have you or your son seen his poos?m

Henry has never been sick with his food before. We switched him to lily’s a while ago - all meat flavours. He had a spell of being sick after food. Noticed that he is not sick after some flavours - which are the ones without fish. In an ideal world all four would get the same food to make ordering a...

Thanks Kay. I have been trawling Zooplus this pm.

Hope you and your cats are ok?

My Henry is fish intolerant. He has been sick after eating meat flavour food. Looking through the ingredients there is fish or fish oils in many foods. I was considering a raw diet as a way of being sure no fish is included. I have a couple of questions - is anyone aware of food brands that are grai...

Hi everyone Don’t post here often these days - sorry!!! The forum is very important to my gang and I and introduced us to some great friends!!!! Just wanted to say that my furry family (Tips, Henry, Squeak and Mr G) are very well. Hope you and yours are all well too. We wish you all a fantastic Chri...

Sarah's boy Edgar is diabetic.

I will ask her to post any advice she can give.

What I would say is that with support and treatment, there is no reason why your kitties shouldn't live a normal, healthy life. Edgar certainly does.

Hope everyone and their furbabes have had a lovely Christmas - all quiet and calm in west Wales!

Thanks Helen

Thanks Vivian - another great idea. We will look around various pound shops/garden centres for solutions!

Thanks everyone - some great ideas! Much as we love the gang, we don't want the new floors damaged by cat wee!!!

Hi everyone Can I pick brains??? We have just replaced our carpets with wood flooring, largely because of damage caused by the gang through scramming, vomiting, blood, guts and other misdemeanours over the years!!!! Anyway, to cut a long query short, I was wondering whether anyone was aware of an id...

I have a flock of 11 girls and Boris our boy! They are a mixed bag of size, age, colour, rescue etc. I volunteer for BWHT on local rehome days - very rewarding!! I would highly recommend keeping them to anyone with a space in their garden they are willing to give to some girls. Love mine nearly as m...

I would also be inclined to keep things as normal as you can. Providing the kitties can't bolt and escape into danger. As Alice says, try to keep the children calm when around the cats. Can you treat them to a visit to a local park to let off steam? The cats are likely to find a place where they fee...

Dear Mark, I cannot really add anything that others haven't already said.

You were the best daddy to your precious girl. She will be sorely missed by all on CC.

Love to you all from me and the gang xxx

'Our' hogs get their own food!

On the odd occasion that doesn't all go, that goes to the birds too!

We put uneaten cat food out for the birds too. Our main diners are the crow family - jackdaws, magpies, rooks .......

They certainly loiter when we take a bowl full out to scatter!

Hi Luna's appetite was very up and down while she was on chemo. On bad days we would give her anything we could tempt her with. Her weight actually increased at one point while the chemo was working and the tumours were reducing. Cats react differently to chemo. It doesn't make them loose fur or sic...

Awwww handsome boy!!

Hopefully get the infection sorted in a jiffy xx

Sounds promising. Keep positive. Fingers crossed for you both xx

Hi

Been thinking about you today.

How were Pumkin's results? Fingers crossed they are ok.

Xx

Hi My girl Luna had lymphoma - we tried chemo. We were guided by the the feline advisory bureau - who said that chemo can give a good length remission in 1/3 cases and felt it was worth a shot. Luna coped amazingly well with the treatment - and our vet was excellent and discussing everything with us...

Hi Julie My ten year old girl Tips has been blind since she was about six months old. We have made the house and garden as safe as we can for her - put barriers in front of drops, cushions in front of objects she used to bash into etc. The garden is securely fenced. Other than that, we speak when we...

Well done Angel!!

Beautiful furbabe. Happy forever home

Tips loves a really old Next carrier. It 'lives' at the end of her play tunnel. She runs through the tunnel and charges into the bag which makes very loud noises! We do not dare take it off her!!!

Our Henry and Tips came from a rescue with their mum Luna. We first met them when they were five days old, and would visit a few times a week until we were ready to take Luna and the babies. I remember visiting a couple of times and be quite alarmed watching Luna doing similar things to the kitten/s...

I chose DPD.

I have had some problems with Yodel in the past.

Hopefully all will be well and this will be the start of a new way
