Aww, so cute

Everything crossed you can get her to eat. Our vets will sometimes give you something to help with their appetite so it’s worth looking at all options. Do keep us updated.

Thank you for the welcome and for the reply. I am in the US, I haven’t tried other foods, just the treats. Hi, yes definitely try other foods, it’s important they eat something otherwise they can downhill, and preferably not just treats! Does she like cat milk? if she can tolerate cat milk or lacto...

Hi, I don’t have any experience of cats with anaemia unfortunately, though someone may. Have your neighbours tried a different vets, a second opinion? I personally would try and get the pills down as I would have thought it’s important he takes them. If they can’t be disguised in food/drink then cou...

Hi and welcome. So sorry that your little girl isn’t well. I’ve had a few oldies with CRF and it can be difficult to tell when the time is to say goodbye. If she’s not eating at the moment that won’t help, have you tried lots of different foods? You don’t say where you are from, if you’re in the UK ...

Hi and welcome. I’ve just had a quick read over your post as I’m out shortly, but it’s difficult to say what could be wrong, it could be health or behaviour so best to get a check up. Also if you check out this link below there’s lots of advice which may be helpful to you as a new cat owner: https:/...

He’s lovely and it’s good that you’re going to get him sorted, I presume until then you’ll keep him away from the others though

Yes mum will be now we have caught her and she trusts us so as soon as the kittens are old enough she will go in to be spayed. However the male im not sure if he is owned. He does come here for food im wondering whether to paper collar him and see what happens? That’s great to hear. Yep, definitely...

Hi Lauren and welcome. I’m no expert on cat coats either unfortunately so can’t help you there - but just wondered - will you be getting mum spayed now? This is a rescue site and there’s so many cats and kittens needing homes it’s really sad to see them all. I hope you can get the male sorted too ot...

Hi and welcome. So sorry about your poor cat, I hate to see dogs chasing cats and have witnessed this quite a few times where I live. Without going into details I actually had one of my own cats killed by a dog and one of my ferals, so it’s definitely a sore point with me and I don’t blame the dogs ...

I would say top male and bottom female possibly, but hard to tell with it being black you can’t see very much at the minute.

She has been curious about the garden watching me go out the back door and and I know I am supposed to keep her in for 4 weeks but decided to let her out this morning - she ventured up the side of the house and eventually into the back garden were she ate a lot of grass. I kept very close to her in...

Glad to hear Mia is safely home. I am sure she’ll be fine (when she realises she’ll be spoilt rotten lol :D ) Just a thought about her being sick, it could be the stress of it all but I know a lot of cats that can’t eat Dreamies so would be worth keeping an eye on that. My own cat can’t eat them, an...

Hi and welcome. It could be a hairball that he’s trying to get rid off, cats will eat grass if that’s the case and this time of year I’ve seen my own cat eating grass, and the ferals are eating more and bringing up furballs. I would also get a vet a trip and if he’s wanting to go out and it’s safe t...

I love black cats and Mia looks lovely, she looks like my Tasha. Best of luck, let us know how things go!

Hi and welcome. It’s great that you’re putting so much effort into getting a cat or two :) All cats are different but I think if you can afford to adopt two kittens together, then that would be a great idea. They will be company for each other and when you are in you will have a cat each! When we st...

Oh crikey Susan (crying my eyes out now) that’s a beautiful thing to do for your George.

God Bless, gorgeous George xx

Hi melshop, I’m so sorry you had to say goodbye to your little lad (hugs)
God bless Tabby xx

I would bet it’s you going out all day that’s the issue if all is well otherwise. PS - I replied to your other thread about you having to leave her now, so rather than repeat myself I’ve copied my reply to that here: "Susie is bound to be missing you somewhat but as to whether it will bother he...

We did consider that. Is there normally a bit of sick with the furball? Makes sense i suppose. She is short-haired and groom her but can still visibly see loose fur after! Seems never-ending. Is there anything else we can do to help her prevent them? Yes there will likely be sick with it as well. I...

Hiya, what a worry for you. I will say though that there’s a good chance she’s not very far away, just hiding somewhere. The weather’s good I presume and it’s still very early days. Do follow the lost cat advice on here: https://www.catchat.org/index.php/cat-missing-lost-found Will be keeping everyt...

Is it a furball? they’re poo shaped but look more like sick sometimes obviously fur other times not and sometimes a bit watery with them especially if puss is trying to get them up. When I first came across a furball I was the same, now I can tell. My own cat and the ferals have had a few recently, ...

Unfortunately I don’t live in your area to know of any catteries, but here’s some information on catteries that may be helpful:

Hi, so sorry for what happened to your cat, how cruel. Regarding enclosing your garden, I think that’s a good idea, as he must be upset at having to be confined now. There’s a few threads on here, and people who have successfully catproofed their gardens. Here is one thread I’ve found that may be he...

So sorry for the loss of your lovely boy. If I were you I would have a chat with your vet if you need to talk, I’ve done this before when I’ve wanted answers after losing my cat. It’s clear that you loved him loads and did the best you could. Thinking of you, and god bless your little lad xx

Hi and welcome. I haven’t actually done this myself, hopefully someone has who can help. Otherwise, if you check out Cat Chat’s “Rehoming” advice page and scroll down to “Emigrating Abroad”, there’s lots of information about travelling, travelling abroad with your pet etc and who you can ring for in...

I agree with Kay, it does sound like either of those to me too. With hyperthyroidism everything works faster - hyper, so she could be restless, more vocal and use the tray more/not as she should etc. I’ve actually had it myself and it can take a while to be picked up because thyroid hormones vary so...

Hi and welcome. It is a bit of a difficult one but here’s a few suggestions. Cats love freshly dug earth so yep it’s trying to put them off that area, or encouraging them to poo elsewhere. Erecting chicken wire round the patch, or some sticks close together as cats lose interest if they’ve to keep t...

Hi and welcome. Sometimes it’s quieter at weekends, that’s possibly why no one’s replied until today. Susie is bound to be missing you somewhat but as to whether it will bother her too much is hard to say unless as Lilith says, she seems clingier now, or her behaviour changes in some way. In which c...

I would ring round all the rescues in your area, I’m sure that one will have a trap you can loan. it’s in their interests to help you out otherwise they could have more than 4 to sort out soon - you could remind them of that maybe
