Cat Chat Feline Forum

Yes I've read the book. Fantastic. I think I actually posted on here a while back about it. I also always give to the Big issue sellers. They sell that magazine to try to help themselves out of awful situations. They are mostly lovely people, one from around here was a university student from a love...

Gosh he doesn't look like a stray. Very well fed and a lovely coat

What a lovely outcome. Can I just ask, when they are micro chipped can they not trace the owner. I just surmised they'd have some way of tracing

I'm sure I might have asked this before but I can't remember the answers. Why does Theo grunt??.. its not loud, just a quiet grunting noise. Sometimes he just sits in front of me looking at me grunting continuously. Or when he's looking out of the window he does it. I'm just curious

I wonder how long those idiots left that on the poor thing for and sat there laughing. Gawwwwd. Some people

This is such a good post. Where I live they're taking cats for bait an just yesterday I passed an entry and there was a dead cat which although I'm not going to elaborate it was obvious what had happened. And yet people are still letting their cats out at night. I will never understand that. One of ...

Many years ago I had a poodle. He lived till he was 14 but at the end he went blind , he had lumps on his little head from bumping into things, his back legs went and the vet said hed gone deaf. I used to take him out and carry him in a blanket. When we went to bed hed be crying and whimpering downs...

Theo had his "rituals" too. Lol :D My daughter always says he has OCD. He comes to play at the exact same times each day. And waits at his food cupboard at the same time morning and night. He even has "his place" on the couch and if I sit there he sits on the floor in front of me...

Its perfectly normal to feel like you do. We put our cat Theo in a recommended cattery when we went on a weeks holiday and I,ll never do it again. He's a complicated boy anyway but he was so unhappy. Didn't hardly eat and hid at the back of his pen the whole time the lady said. When we picked him up...

Aww that's sad. Hope you get some advice

Awww how lovely. What kind of bird is it

Awww how lovely

Hi Gary. This sounds so like my cat Theo. Ive written all about him on here. We had him for a full year before he even made a sound. The vet said he had probably been "traumatised" as a kitten and wouldn't meow until he felt safe. Then after a year be finally meowd. A weak little warble bu...

This made me so sad. That looks like a very unhappy poorly cat.

Thanks Kay. It was just that I typed in on Google "do cats need annual boosters" and lots of info came up regarding the injections but reading between the lines it seems unnessasary for indoor cats.

Hi folks. Ive had an email saying Theo is due his annual check up and booster injections. Now I'm a bit confused. Ive been looking online and lots of people say booster injections are only nessesary every 3yrs. Some say indoor cats don't need the leukaemia booster at all. Just cat flu and diareeah. ...

Oh I'm by no means judging you. Just giving my opinion which can be ignored if you wish. The good thing about this forum is you will get different opinions which is what its all about. Relevant or not. I'm sure you,l find some advice that your happy with. When I've asked advice I get all different o...

Cats are independent. Mayby your overpowering her. It all sounds a bit intense to me. To the point of being obsessive. Just leave her be and let her come to you when she wants.

Just to reasure you my cat also only eats the jelly. Félix good as it gets. Ive tried mashing the bits but no luck he still just devours all the jelly. I usualy give him gourmet pate but now and then I like to give him a change. He has no problem eating his dry food or his treats but I think he just...

Awww its sad when pets pass over but I also think we should let them be at rainbow bridge in peace and happy. I wouldn't feel right trying to "call them back". But I feel the same about humans too. Once theyv gone their at peace and your memories keep them with you.

Thanks mark. Yes I've though of the 6 monthly injection. May ask about that when I take him for his claw trim

papa cat ive had conflicting advice about this. My vet says he still needs it doing but every couple of months is ok. Someone else told me he doesn't need it doing and I googled *do indoor cats get flees* and it says yes. Someone else told me even if he doesn't get flees he can still get worms or ea...

I put flea treatment on theo (stronghold) and he's now sulking. I hate doing it to him, I only do it every 6months now because he's an indoor cat. He goes all strange, walking really low with his belly near touching the floor, be won't come near us and his pupils are very dilated. He's ok the next d...

Oh I'm glad I saw this. I was given three of theses candles for Christmas. I actually start coughing myself when I use them an I've noticed Theo leaves the room.

My cat Theo is also very shy. When he was in the rescue he hid in the back of his pen and was bullied by the other cats. He just looked so sad. I used to visit him and coax him out with treats.Its been so rewarding. He loves his fuss now, he's not a knee cat but will snuggle up right next to us for ...

You say its been there a while. Have you not taken her to a vet.

Ha ha. Yes we didn't pick his name. The rescue place named him but yes he loves to be brushed

Oh thanks so much for the replies. I feel reassured now. Theo is short hair and we brush him every morning. So he doesn't seem to have excess fur.

My friend says her cat is sometimes sick and brings up hair balls. She was quite shocked when I said Theo has never been sick and we,ve never seen hair balls. She says they need to bring up hair balls or pass them or they block their intestines. Is this true

Awww how sad. My Theo is an indoor cat and seems quite content. If I open the back door slightly he pokes his little face out but as soon as the wind blows on him he turns round and runs, lol, but sometimes when I go out in the garden to hang my washing out he sits gazing at me and yes I ve been tem...
