Cat Chat Feline Forum

For what reason?

She has had her vaccinations and will be getting spayed at 18 weeks, the garden is secure and even now Bronte doesn't seem to go much further than a couple of gardens either way. While I am out there with her its nice to see her play chase with the other 2 and get her confidence but she certainly wo...

I think many people completely underestimate the therapeutic power of all animals. I believe they are so much more finely tuned into their humans than any other human could be. It is a heart warming story and I always believe that the only way we could avoid the grief you and your family are experie...

I tend to agree with whats been said that if the batting isn't too bad then they will likely as not work it out for themselves as long as no real damage being done. My first introduction i did by the book keeping them separated and increasing exposure but found i had to get through the initial intro...

A really good tip I got from our friends on here is that cats don't like their water next to their food. So I put theos water well away from his food and in a glass bowl and I couldn't believe how much he drank, practically the whole bowl the first time he saw it. I still have the small bowl next t...

Julie I'm so sorry to hear your story which i only just caught up with but really touched me. Send love and hugs to you and your family and know that she is not struggling now x

Hmm hadn't thought of it in that way but take your point - must admit can't stand more than a couple of seconds of it as it feels so weird !!

I was just wondering what opinions were on the age of a cat before they go outdoors? My boy Archie was about 5 when he came to me so was eager to be out asap - after his GPS figured out where 'home' was of course. Bronte didn't want to go beyond the doorstep no matter what until she was about 10 mon...

Ewwww not made the mistake of opening my eyes yet but it definitely is an addiction with her ! But licking eyeballs is definitely worse so I feel better - maybe it is the salt thing hadn't thought of that ...

My little girl (14 weeks) Sky is obsessed with licking my eyelids. She doesn't just do it when she happens to be close but deliberately clambers up me to get to my face.

Has anyone else experienced this and any idea what the attraction is?

Hi

I'm quite new too and managed with only 1 hiccup to get photo's to work so I'm sure you'll have it in no time.

LOl great picture - they are so funny !

I love your description of the chatter - my boy is really vocal. My particular favourite is when he is frustrated t me having a lie in he says "mm-wah-wa" - I'm convinced he's calling me a lazy so and so!!

Oooh I once put my purse in the fridge and a pack of butter in my handbag .... I feel a new 'senior moments' thread coming on hahahaha !

Its strange Kay somehow in photos she looks more 'pointy' than in real life - particularly her face and ears ...... she's the only one of my 3 who rolls over for a tummy tickle and it isn't a trap !!! I'll be interested to see how long haired she gets - I think she'll be fluffy/semi long haired but ...

lol @bobbysgirl .... I keep finding myself at the top of the stairs with no idea why ... but i'm happy in my own little world haha x

I guess she is a mog - mine are all mogs and I love them.

Hopefully you read my other thread and understand its not my breeding or my purchase but an unwanted kitten who needed a home....

Aw what a touching story .... look forward to hearing about the other 13 !

Pudding is just gorgeous

LOL - she could be a real crumper then ... that's ok I like a big cat ! When you look at her now proportionally she seems to have a really long body compared to my other 2 - and those ears she really needs to grow into ! I saw the collapsing carrier thread so will keep an eye out - maybe something o...

Hello I am a newly arrived CC'er too so look forward to getting to know you.

What a lovely rescue story - sounds like she absolutely fell on her feet, she is lovely

Oh not heard of provender! I picked up some drontal on the way home so will give that a go first. Archie is no problem and will swallow anything you give him - hang up from being a hungry stray I think. Bronte wriggles a but but then takes it and sky we have yet to find out! Thanks all for the advice

Yes I am interested to see what size she makes - I know rags can be quite big but I'm not sure on the Russian blue? Her mum was the rag doll and apparently just a regular size. I do love her colour and she has the lovely blue nose and paws. She seems very bright and is learning so quickly that after...

Thanks everyone - nice to meet you all!

Yes I think size was the issue but we got there in the end

Look forward to chatting more in the future

when I got my rescue cat I was told 4 weeks to keep him totally inside - after 2.5 weeks he escaped through an upstairs window - it (stupidly) never occurred to me he would go through an upstairs window - 6 hours later he came back the same way ... and forever until he died that was his 'door' regar...

Ok so whats happening there ?? Anyone know ?

I couldn't figure out how to add a further picture to my last thread to here is Sky .... now erm 13 weeks old. Fabulous mix of character - she does the floppy rag doll thing so well but is also a real little madam with a personality way too big for her size and age at the moment

Ok well 2 out of 3 isn't bad !!

Hi Just thought i'd introduce myself as I'm new to the forum but I hope to get to know everyone. I've had a look around and it seems as if its nice people on here. So I am 'Mum' to 3 cats, Archie, Bronte and Sky. My avatar is Archie who is a (estimated) 5 year old neutered Tom who was a 100% rescued...

Ah fabulous - I was wondering about Drontal but didn't want to incorrectly mix my drugs. Thanks for the help.

Hi I am new to the forum and wonder if anyone can help me with the topic of prevention of worms/fleas etc. My 3 are treated with Advocat monthly, and every 3 months we go to the vet for a 'worming tablet' - is there something I can buy over the counter that can be taken alongside the Advocat which w...
