Cat Chat Feline Forum

My first very nervous kitten would do this and it drove me mad! First of all, i would say, invest in a waterproof cover for your duvet.. cheaper than a new duvet. Even now as I pass a certain launderette near me, memories of spending time in there, washing the duvet once again ,, make me feel uneasy...

Silica ones,, ugh no.
We used Sophisticat gold too, and found it good but couldn't get it locally. Tescos also do Natural and Clean clumping litter which they claim has no fragrance. It clumps well and is not heavy to carry home,,,,

try taking off the magnet strip ( if a simple cat flat) so that it is easy to open or prop it open until he gets used to it. giving him treats through the flap can help too. Took my previous rescued cat 6 months before she would even try to use it... time and patience..

Its so hard though, isnt it?
Whilst she has been ill; my husband relented and let her sleep on our bed. She snuggled up to us both. I miss her

well she was due to be re assessed back at the vet tonight,, came home from work and she was v quiet and hadn't moved all day, eaten nor used the tray. She went to her bowl, ate 5 bits of food and then went back to bed. I watched some tv, and then , as it is Friday night and the traffic bad usually,...

Poor little Maisie has eaten about 15 g dry food tonight,, and is so sluggish and sleepy. I don't know if I dare give her the meds again having stopped on Tues am. Spoke to vet at 5pmish, have another follow up appt tomorrow anyway. Do i drag her 45 mins to the hospital now, do I just wait and see o...

well we were told to stop the meds from tuesday morning as she had had 7 days worth. Tues and Wed night she ate about half her normal amount of dry food. Drinking well from the water fountain and passing urine ok . However, I have come back from work tonight and she has eaten about 2 kibbles of food...

most people recommend 3 trays for 2 cats. One each and one spare! hope your little new cat settles in quickly.

update on Maisie She ate a fair bit on Thurs and Fri afternoon but then v little on Sat and so so little on Sunday. The pancreatis test came back borderline... she is just so sleepy and lethargic. Spoke to the hospital vet again last night, Sunday and he agreed that we should see how she is without ...

Thanks for your support. It has been a trying and worrying 3 weeks. She ate some chicken and then sensitive stomach dry food on Wed eve and then more last night and eventually we managed to get the meds inside her. My OH woke me at 5.30 this morning so that together we could get the meds in her befo...

Good idea to get them used to being brushed right from the start.

Thanks Sarie We managed to get a minute amount of the meds into her this morning. the first lot went on the floor! just before I left for work, she ate half a slice of processed turkey ( my OH had some for his lunch!) . She just turns nose up at every thing else. I kept her in today but on returning...

Good evening everyone feeling very worried about my cat. 2 weeks ago was letharig and not eating much so off to the vet we went,, Maisie is 4, we got her when she was about 1 and a rescue from living and having her babies on the street. vet says oh she has a heart murmur, not there in July when exam...

I got a lovely gentle loving cat from a rescue for my nearly 90 year old mother in law. she loved him and he made such a difference to her life . she managed to look after him, just, but didn't realise that when he wasn't eating that was because he was ill. she only had him 4 months before he was di...

my first kitten weed on beds a lot to start with, and it drove me mad. Two litter trays helped but also i got very fine clumping litter,, gentler on the paws and she stopped. Good luck

oops accidentally gave poor little Maisie 2 doses of Benzacare today,, was supposed to be one half tab a day but i misread it and gave her another one with her tea...she s been out in the garden and is now washing so maybe double the dose was what she needed, think i will wait until later tomorrow t...

My cat of ~ 4 + years was diagnosed with a 'massive' heart murmur this week. I had taken her to the vet as she wasn't quite her normal lively self and not eating a lot ( or using the litter tray much either) she had been checked in July for her normal annual jabs, otherwise she has never had any pro...

well we took him back to the vets tonight and they confirmed that the fluid showed that it was v v likely to be FIP and they recommended that he be put to sleep. My mother in law held him whilst the procedure was carried out. We are all very sad. Play hard at the rainbow bridge little one, you are s...

Thank you. My own little one is snuggled up in bed with me. She knows i am sad. I wanted to have danny put to sleep today but she is not my cat and i have to respect my m i l's right to see him . But she is pretty stubborn when she wants to be! You have reassured me , thank you for reading and reply...

Dear Ladies and Gents haven't been on here for a good while, busy at work and home ,,, I have a mother in law who is widowed, living on her own and 89. Her husband sadly died 2 years ago, He refused to have a cat so when he died, she wanted one. I resisted and resisted for ,, well 2 years as I knew ...
