Hi Carol.....I know what you mean about the cost !!!! The 'Thrive' food in chicken which Mark sent the link is excellent, its probably the only food which Barney really goes crackers for...even when he was a little under the weather recently, he always managed to eat the Thrive chicken above any oth...

Hi Carol, Just come across this, sorry to have jumped in so late.... When 'CC' couldn't eat, we used to warm up his food and shred some chicken as best we could, the 'lik e lix' sachets in chicken also provide the extra vitamins and always tempted him to at least try to eat. Thinking of you and Fluf...

I've got both hands up !!!!

What a beautiful boy Kye was.....and was a fantastic testimony of love and loyalty you have wrote, you gave him every ounce of love and care you possibly could, bless you. I too have felt the total raw grief and pain at losing my last darling boy, just over a year ago, I never thought the feelings w...

Hi Jan That did make me smile !!! :lol: :lol: Barney hates. with a passion, me tapping away on the keyboard ! As soon as he starts getting annoyed, he jumps up and sits his bum on the keys...!!! If I try to continue by even moving him slightly, he will bite me on the nose as I lean forward :o This m...

Hi Helen, Same here regarding the stress thing, Barney is pretty laid back, he sits in our garden with his 2 'friends ', and really seems to enjoy his little life, he's a happy little boy. I know he had a rotten time before we had him, so being spoilt rotten here and ruling the roost makes him so ha...

Hi ladies Please rest assured, neither of you have you alarmed me in the least way possible, bless you :) I am the sort of person in any case that calls " a spade a spade" I would much prefer to hear the reality of what has happened in your experiences, its absolutely invauable to me, I ho...

Thank you all so much for your responses...This has proved invaluable to me, Barney does seem a little brighter again this morning and began his day with a wee !...I have always fed him a wet diet, usually Lilys Kitchen or more recently Butchers, mixed with lots of warm water, he can't tolerate fish...

Thanks Sarah Barney is now sleeping on the sofa next to me....it's so frustrating when you feel helpless to do anything for them.....watching him struggle yet again Friday eveining, absolutely floored me, when I believed he was better, it was such a shock...I only hope that it does not turn out to b...

Anna I am so pleased for you....he sounds an absolute character !!

I know what you mean about the headbutts .....I have been covered in red hot tea many times when Barney decides to say 'Hello' !! ...xx

Julie ... I am so sorry to read all this ... cannot express how much I understand what you're going through (as am sure many others do here). We went through all this worry/panic/tears for a few months last year after Blackie had 2 bouts of cystitis in as many months. If I come down in the morning ...

Thank you Helen, I feel just like you about posting all my worries too , I was just reading one of your posts about a new addition to your gang from a family member.....believe it or not, my hubby is asthmatic and allergic to cats....he just puts up with the weepy eyes and uses an inhalor and takes ...

Thank you all so much.... You understand far more than any others possibly can....I have taken so much comfort from all of you, in the words of my old Dad, you are all " The salt of the earth...." I will keep a close watch on my lovely boy, he has had several 'big wees' he is now on my kne...

Thank you so much Helen...

You have no idea at the moment just how comforting your words are, bless you......hope you don't mind that I may be calling on you.... and all the others for advice in the next 2 weeks or so....and thank you for lilstening to my essay previously !.........xx

Hi Helen Well, I have been out all day today, its been pretty much an emotional roller coaster of worry all round the last 48 hours. Today, we had to leave him alone, whilst we went to see my parents, who live some distance away. it was my lovely Moms' 80th Birthday, she has lung cancer and Dad has ...

Hi

He's had a good sleep and a big wee in his litter tray !!....He seems a little brighter, though I imagine it will take a few days for the anti biotics to kick in....Its such a worry even when the vet tries to reassure...

x

Thanks Ruth.....I will mention it to him when we go back...he already put him on Cystaid Plus which is glucosamine twice a day.......fingers crossed, this is just a glitch.....x

Thanks Booktigger and Bobbys girl Well, I Rang our vet tonight, who insisted on seeing Barney straight away, as he said, "I can't see through a telephone if he has a blockage...." so quarter to seven we just made it to the vet, I trust him so much, an absolutely amazing man and so easy to ...

After a trip to the vet 2 weeks ago Barney had severe cystitis, was given Convenia injection and picked up, urine test fine 4 days later...now tonight it looks like it is starting again...I am so worried, it looks like he may have a more permanent bladder problem....

So so pleased to hear this ...

Welcome Thomas and Mouse !

Looking forward to hearing of all their antics....and photos too of course !!!

Great News all round ....xx

That is sooo funny !!!

Barney is definitely No 12 The Voyeur It even looks just like him, I never get a moment alone ...even in the bathroom ..........and yes he sits watching you too ..!!!!!! ......x

Hi Karuski, You are welcome, its early days yet for you all, it is so painful for children to accept the death of a pet at any age. I am sure Michelle08 won't mind me quoting her words below when she had the same problem with her little boy and I shared the same poem. "The poem is beautiful &am...

Hi Karuski, When we lost our boy CC, I liked to believe that his spirit was still with us...I found this poem out, which almost summed up how I felt....it does ease with time, but the memories never fade, it may help your little girl feel better....xx I stood by your bed last night I came to have a ...

Hi, What a worry for you...I really do feel for you, as Crewella said I would certainly give the vet a call, if only to put your mind at rest. When my 'cc' had oral cancer, there were times where he was so good at hiding the pain, I almost cancelled his final trip to the vet. When I explained to the...

What an absolute handsome boy !!!..

Look forward to hearing lots more about Henry......not forgetting Ted of course !! x

Thanks James for coming back to us, I have to say that first picture preyed on my mind all day..... :cry: Well done to you for taking them to the vet and caring for these poor souls who have obviously not been treated well, bless you for giving them a loving home.... Please keep us posted and let us...

I have been worrying all afternoon about this poor little soul, who looks so poorly.......please come back and let us know how she is......

Hi James, Welcome to CC She looks like she has a cold judging by the picture, and not a very happy puss :( , though others will be able to advise you better than me on here, I am sure. Please, please, get her to a vet as soon as you can, her eyes look quite 'gloopy' poor soul. Please let us know how...

I must admit our neighbour, who has 3 cats, stopped me yesterday and asked where I got Barneys collar from, as she liked how bold the wording and numbers stood out on his collar against the bright background.....she hadn't heard of Kittycollars....but she has now !!

I must admit that I never use a bell on Barney either, he can't understand where the noise is coming from and starts walking backwards !!

He is currently sporting a canary yellow Kittycollar, which really stands out on his tuxedo coat !!!....x
