Cat Chat Feline Forum

Glad it's not just me! But I share your pain Bobbys girl on the projectile vomit. Sofi has recently learned this new trick of "projecting from height". I've had to scramble my desk stuff more than once.

Aren't they just darling little angels?

Okay, I love my cat, truly I do. But I think sometimes she goes out of her way to get on my last nerve. I'm going to have a little rant and I hope that you won't think petty or little of me. But I'm going to lay out my day for you. I get up, Sofi has vomited all over the hall and in her food bowl. S...

Just leave the old one and the new one out with all her toys and eventually the smell from her old basket will dissipate and she won't care for it anymore. Believe me Sofi came with the oldest scruffiest toys and carrier you can imagine but after nearly a year she doesn't give a hoot about them and ...

Whenever I go to a local fast food chain (why yes is IS KFC) I always ask for a big bag because I know Sofi loves to crawl into them and sleep. They never last very long though. A week at most before she's clawed and chewed it to pieces. I never really go to Primark over here though. It's so far out...

Good luck!

Ah that's probably it then! Just make sure she's happy and only use the cleaner when guests are coming over (I get you, we have a dining room table that our cat isn't supposed to be on either. But when I come home in the evening I always see the tell tale signs of fur and paw marks.

Although I always feel really bad about this afterwards I always put Sofi in the hall if she makes a fuss in the night. Usually she makes a fuss because she wants food (I always feed her at midnight and again at 9am) So I try not to deviate from the pattern. Sometimes she just wants to play but at 5...

Cats when stressed will very often have some sort of toilet trouble. She's probably just needing to adjust to her new environment. If it persists for more than a week or two perhaps a call to the vet is needed but don't be too overcautious just yet. She's likely to do a few weird things in the first...

We had this type of thing recently with our cat who is short haired so it was easier to spot. I wouldn't worry too much unless she's changed her eating, drinking or toilet habits dramatically lately. Or is less active than normal. It's probably an allergy but if you see increased scabbing over the w...

From one kitten owner to another I was disconcerted when my adopted cat didn't immediately take to me. Having lived around cats that were brought in from kittens through my childhood I expected an immediate response of love. Sadly that didn't happen. My advice now is to be patient. It may take a wee...

My apologies, I didn't read properly it seems. I presumed they meant Virginia, Surrey. I have family there.

I'm sorry to say that even though you and the white cat seem to share a bond I don't believe it would be fair to uproot him from his surroundings of the outdoor warm Arizona weather and place him in the cold weather of England and also place him under house arrest for the rest of his life. If he see...

You could always inquire with the local shelters and see if they have any Maine Coons available and ask to be put on a waiting list. But they are sought after as good family pets and aren't re-homed as often as other breeds because of their cost and docile nature. There are many other breeds that yo...

I had the same problem with our cat when we first got her. She'd also play with the water bowl and we'd often find it upturned every morning and her crying because she had nothing to drink! I was worried that we'd get a stain on the wood floor (we rent) so I bought this: http://www.walmart.com/ip/Pe...

So sorry for your loss Missy. I think at times like this there's always a point of "what could I have done differently?" Even if you couldn't have done anything. You did the best you could. And that's all your cat could've asked for. She cried and you responded. Don't keep yourself up at n...

If he only knew the trouble you were sparing him from! He wouldn't be so affronted then!

I would recommend you do these things before bed: 1. Clean litter box 2. fill water 3. Fill food bowl 4. Tire out your cat Sorry for the weirdly short list but my cat is on my arm and she's been ill all day and not slept so I'm typing one handed so as not to disturb her after finally getting her to ...

It's a give in but I just let the cat come in and sleep on the covers nowadays. It's much let distracting for us because if she couldn't get in she'd either jump on the door handle until it gave way or mew until someone let her in. Believe me, a week of that and you don't care anymore, you just want...

Fingers crossed I think I've found the problem. On Monday morning we received some spam mail from Whiskas with cat treats attached. (Occasionally our local supermarkets do this in Spain, they send new products based on purchases from the value card, I've had some weird things come through the mail, ...

God I'd love to buy something like that for my cat! she'd be in her element looking out the window at the passersby and then staring down at us like she owned the kingdom.
Oh well. In time the king of money will provide.

My cat Sofi loves processed Ham. Obsessively so. When we have any kind of sandwich with ham in it she will leap up on the table and try to steal the ham out of our sandwiches! This has become so bad that I normally have to eat standing up and she'll be using my leg like a climbing frame trying to re...

A neighbour of ours has been asking for big cardboard boxes and he cuts holes in them, lines them several times in cling film and then puts food and old torn clothing in the boxes for strays for the cold weather in the community parks and in bushes. It's not been that cold or rainy over here so I do...

UPDATED June 2016 : please scroll to bottom to read latest problem Hey guys, I'm in need of some advice. My cat Sofi has been scratching her fur out over the past 3 days on her head and a little on her neck. The patches are all clean of scabbing and crustiness. There's a minute amount of blood in th...

No chance the RSPCA can offer one of their trap cages at all? You could place it against the cat flap door for the little tykes next visit over.

Late to the party again like an unwanted guest :P I was rather taken in by this post by Bobby's Girl because it's something I've been talking about a lot recently. Our local rescue centre has closed it's doors to folks wanting cats/dogs over the Christmas period. Good idea really, there are far too ...

We bought a fibre optic Christmas tree today because family is coming for Christmas and my sister insisted that at Christmas you need 2 things. "A Christmas tree and a turkey." (My OH really wanted a ham so that's him scuppered) So I insisted we buy a fibre optic tree because Sofi would kn...

A lot of people can be like this. Don't let it get you down or think less of them. Cats are hard to bond with and a lot of people can't or won't give them the time to do so. When you bond with a cat it's something very special and it can take weeks, months or even years for this to happen. A lot of ...

We have an indoor cat and have decided against insuring her. Instead we've created a separate account and we both put in 20€ each month for her. She's only 4 at the moment so I doubt she'll have any problems for a few years yet. She didn't come to us with any issues and seems very healthy. Some peop...

Is the next door neighbour your landlord? if not I'd seriously consider filing a complaint with the local council for harassment. With your CCTV footage I'm sure you could prove it. This guy needs a good verbal of physical slap around the face. Whatever happened to "unity" among neighbours?

Rest in peace little Locky. You did the right thing. He was happy until the very end with you by his side, at home with everything he loves, I'm sure of it. Goodnight little Locky. Play well at rainbow bridge and know your mum loves you. Hugs to you Cussypat. We're here for you. Try and sleep best y...
