Cat Chat Feline Forum

Oh he sounded lovely Ruth B.

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.

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 polycy...

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...

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 ...

These stories are funny! Obviously not at the time it happened for you guys!

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.

You must be a regular buyer then!

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

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!

Anyone have a zooplus discount code they won't be using this month? Would be greatly received

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.

Definitely beats those GPS trackers!

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. I didn't want to leave him roaming about and playing by himself in the living room due to the electric wires. They like to chew things when they ar...

Or you can give a complete wet food along with the dry.

I've tried all cat litter and I've now stuck with Cat's Best Öko Plus Cat Litter. Clumps easily and easy to remove, doesn't leave too much of a trail behind and not as dusty as others. I started a thread on cat ltter a while back, so names of cat litter you can try. It's a bit trial and error to beg...

Happy Belated Birthday Lucy! Look at that face! Gorgeous! xxx

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? I mix wet and dry together as mine prefers dry but I want him to have more water intake as I'm scared he'll get ...

Either she's very relaxed around you or she's bored.

I bought one to see if it had any effect, especially as it was coming up to 5th November. I also bought the bach rescue remedy, adding a few drops to his food. https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B004IFKSLY/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1 I don't think the Feliway worked as well as the re...

She looks fine, doesn't she?

She looks gorgeous! Such a pretty little girl. Sending Pallina lots of positive vibes. xx

Hope this helps. Best of luck and hope your cat recovers. Anna & Jeff Welcome to the forum Anna and Jeff. Thank you for sharing your story. I think the stress is caused by an older bigger black and white cat that comes to our garden. He bullied my other cat who died this year. :( Not sure how I can...

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'. We were desperate to get him to drink plenty of fluids after a particularly nasty bout of cystitis 3 years ago and being told he had early stage CKD. Blackie looked at the water fountain as if it was something from outer space and never gave it...

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.

TIA

There's this one https://www.dogforum.co.uk/ and also this one you can try https://www.petforums.co.uk/categories/dog-forums.1/

Good luck!

If I hadn't known what Pallina has been through, I'd say she looking very healthy!
Scritches under her chin from me! xxx

Like everyone else has mentioned, keep him indoors for a while. Not sure if he has been castrated. They don't roam so far when they've had the chop

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.

You can use mineral oil for constipation and hairballs.

I did think it could be the fishy flavours... so I took her off the salmon and tuna etc... but she was still poorly with the chicken and beef! I think it's the FAGAIL in general for some odd reason! Literally was fine one minute with them and then the next she's mega ill! I mean can this even happe...
