Is your outside area secure? Ours isn't so it could crawl out to the road. All the research I've read up on says to keep them in as they are so placid and not very street wise.

Ragdolls
For those that have owned ragdoll cats how long did they live for and did they have genetic problems? Thinking about getting one but reading up on them it seems like they are prone to some hereditary health problems. "Kidney and bladder problems are a particular problem within the breed, with p...

Re: Is this fur balls?
Hello peeps, So one of my cats, she's about 12 yo, keeps coughing as if she is going to produce a furball then nothing appears. Has anyone else seen this? Can you recommend any remedies, I've got a feeling I can get a paste to give her but wondering if I should also get her vet checked in case it's...

Re: How Often Do You Wash Litter Trays?
I use a clumping litter. When the litter gets low, I filter it through a sieve into another tray and top it up. The used tray then gets washed. It depends how often he uses it, not so much now that the weather is better. So hardly washing it, but I do it once a month if it's only been touched a few ...

Well, looks like it was worth the wait. Had stuff sitting in the basket as it wasn't urgent. Guess what? They sent me a surprise 10% off code!
2ANA-8YQX-A5TC-7H7I-LF5 - expires 11 March. Not sure if it will work in general or if it's a one time use. Worth a try if anyone needs it.

Hi Lilith,
Yes, after you've had an order from them, they tend to send an email afterwards giving you 5% off your next order. Maybe keep an eye out in your email. Thanks xx

Re: Butchers best
That seems to be the case. Less meat in tin and now almost a quarter of it is jelly!
Why do these manufacturers mess about with these things!? I don't mind paying a bit more if they stick to the same quality. Now I have to look elsewhere!

Butchers best
Has the recipe changed? I noticed that the new cans I bought seem to be runnier with more liquid and the last tin of the old one is more like a solid jelly. Anyone else noticed this? Or was it a bad batch. My cat didn't like eating the runnier version. So not sure whether to buy it anymore.

As others have mentioned, gradually introduce the new food with the old food, increasing it slowly. Try not to stick to one brand. I read all the advice on here about cat food and decided not to stick to a certain brand as I didn't want a fussy cat. He is fussy but he still eats it :lol: :lol: He de...

We introduced our kitten in the living room. He played with us when we were in there. We put him in a cage with food and cat litter when we went to bed.

Are her teeth causing her problems again? You could chop up/mash the lumpy bits so that they are finer. I use to do that to encourage my older cat to eat. Is she eating the dry food okay?

Re: Water fountains
The vet recommended 2 tablespoons of warmed water mixed in with his wet food. As we sometimes give him less than a full bowl (trying to stop him becoming overweight) we then just add 1 tablespoon. I reckon in a day he probably gets about 80-100ml of extra water. Never had any problem with him lappi...

As far as our cat is concerned, it is a lot of 'faff'.

Are they really that good?
I've never had one but now considering getting one? Is it worth it or just a lot of faff?
Little one was taken to the vets yesterday. He had a mild case of cystitis.

Re: Cat By Mineral Oil On Cutting Board For A Few Seconds
He should be fine. It's only when you give mineral oil straight in to their mouths they can inhale it and cause troubles. From your post, that tiny bit on his nose he licked shouldn't harm him.Delan05 wrote:Now I've read that it can hurt their lungs. .
You can use mineral oil for constipation and hairballs.
