Re: Darling Hermia

I'm sorry to hear about Hermia, Wendy, a much loved little cat, and so lucky to have had such a happy life with you. My Kitten and Mischa were also about her age when they died, but its never easy. Give yourself all the time you need to grieve for her. RIP dear Hermia, enjoy Rainbow Bridge with my g...

Re: At my wits end - do I have my 7 year old put to sleep?

I'm so very sorry to read this, Nettie, but I also think you made the right decision for poor Teddy. I lost Mischa to kidney disease and although the Vet told me it was manageable, I knew that at her age, she wouldn't have had a good quality of life. I also felt guilty, I had to go away to a Confere...

Re: Cat with kittens behavoir

Good luck with your new arrivals! My late cat Mischa came to have her kits on my mum's bed at midnight when she was 11 months old - and she wasn't even our cat at the time (she belonged to a neighbour!). She was also so trusting and we could handle her babies as much as we wanted, but she never had ...

My girls always used Thomas cat litter which I found to be very good and easy to use, but I'm not sure what it is made of. I also got it delivered from a very helpful local pet shop - whoever calls litter "lightweight" needs reporting under Trade Descriptions!!!

I'm so sorry to read this. My cat Kitten had a stomach lump which didn't cause any problems for 9 months, but after that she suddenly couldn't lie down comfortably. I took her to the Vet who told me it had grown and moved suddenly, so I made the decision we all dread, she was 19 years old. Like your...

I would echo everything Lyn has said, I also put old cushions down around the kitchen units so if she did bump into them, it would be a soft bump. Although she had always been an outdoor girl, she adapted very qu...

I would say I was spending at least £75 a month on Mischa but that included monthly injections for arthritis. I always joked my credit card would beat her to Rainbow Bridge! Now she's gone, I would give anything to be spending that money on her again. :cry:
