Cat Chat Feline Forum

It's now coming up for 13 weeks since Bailey disappeared...I'm about to do one last mail drop in the road asking neighbours to now look for his body..I hope we can find him and bury him in the garden where he belongs. I have taken some of his unused experimental food tins to the local Pets At Home s...

You say you found pools of drool...could this be vomit...Bailey sometimes threw up clear slightly frothy liquid...could you have mistaken this for drool?
Poor lamb hope he feels better soon....

I saw this Manifesto the other day on "Pussington Post" website. Brilliant idea if it takes off...Pussington Post seem to specialise in heartwarming stories of cat rescues etc in the USA but occassionaly they have items from UK and this was on a few days ago.. I keep Pussington Post in fav...

Jan,
I've never been advised that Program goes with a tablet? Just had the jab and that's it done.
What are the tablets for?

I always think it is such a sad life for some kittens as they are taken away from their mothers way too soon and they often grow up with personality disorders as they didn't have the best start in life..most seem to be given away at 6 weeks which I think is far to early in their development. I look ...

My cats have always had "Program" injections for fleas...It's once every 6 months and it covers them against fleas..I believe it works by killing the fleas if they bite but not sure on that.You can always Google it for info. They don't lay eggs either..I've sworn by it for years .I couldn'...

Oh..btw...re Siamese and their points etc.. For a number of years I breed Guinea pigs for showing ( when I was a bit younger..!) and specialised in what they called Himalayan...They are exactly like the Siamese cat..White body and brown points and yes their coats did respond to the weather..Isn't na...

Lilith.. Interesting about Siamese..Have loads of books on the breed as I adore the breed. We have had a few Siamese over the years and love the Seal Point as they are so vocal. They say the darker the point the more vocal they are..Our beloved Bailey ( see lost cats."It's the not knowing "...

What a brilliant answer Bobbys girl..! So I suppose the blue eyes of Siamese is due to lack of pigment...well it's genius. Still love my darling Siameses hyacinth blue peepers...so beguiling. If you looked very carefully at Baileys eyes they had a slight wobble..but the vet said it wasn't unusual an...

All the Siamese that we have been slaves too have had eyes that reflected red in the dark..maybe something to do with the blue eyes...hmmm mind you I recall Trio the Havana having really green eyes having looked at a photo on my computer (that I couldn't download as it said file too big..!!) she has...

I seem to remember from books that the Bombay is distinctly brown in colour..May have to look it up again.Good old Google..!! We had a chocolate point Siamese boy and his sister before Bailey & Abby. Trio the girl was classed as a Havana as she was an all brown Siamese. (Trio as she was born wit...

Dear Rosiepix... I'm so sorry you didn't manage to retrieve his body.. I contacted our local council and spoke to a nice lady in the department that deals with animal road fatalities, she took my description of Bailey and said that nothing like him had been bought in (so far )..She also said they di...

Joanne,
So sorry to read your very distresiing post..
Such beautiful cats.
No words can express the sadness you must be feeling now..I send all my loving thoughts to you and hope your heart will ease eventually.

Thanks Joanne_ for your story..every sad tale is so upsetting without closure.. I think we are coming to terms with the fact that Bailey probably died soon after his disappearance or we would have heard something by now as he was quite a distinctive Siamese ( not your average stray )...so will leafl...

An update for our Bailey..... Still nothing. I don't think he would have survived outside on these very cold nights..if he was ailing and undernourished..I suspect he would have died from exposure. What horrible thought, him being all alone and wanting a kind and loving hand to hold him tight and ki...

I know I'm coming late to this forum but I hope Lily is a little better now.... My Seal point Siamese "Bailey" ( see lost cats " It's the not knowing" ) had constipation and vomiting and we didn't know what was wrong..cut long story short he had "megacolon" and underwen...

Hello everyone. I hope there was some good news over the holidays for you... Sadly our Christmas and New Year were marred by the gaping Bailey shaped hole in our lives... No news of him..Now the festivitives are over and O1/2 gone back to work I feel his loss again. I have cried and cried today for ...

Wow, that must have been the best present ever....You are so lucky..so is Clio to back where she belongs. I'm hoping something like that will be my outcome. Bailey was 13 but was such a wonderful character, never aggressive or hissy, he wouldn't hurt a fly ( never caught a bird or mouse in his life ...

Animal Rescue UK called about 6:30pm yesterday regarding posters and leaflets....sadly the starting price for this service ( printing a couple of hundred leaflets and manning the phones 24/7 ) cost start at £220... 2 days before Christmas this isn't an option...May think about it in the New Year if ...

Hi again AhmedUK I have registered Bailey with the National Missing Pet Register and printed their posters but the Animal Rescue UK website seem to have better posters and leaflets and they provide fixings for lamposts etc so will try and get some and put these up before Chrsitmas hopefully. I'm wai...

That's going to be the best Christmas present ever...!!!

I have recently put my beloved seal point Siamese on Animal Rescue UK and hope they can do the same for me....

Lots of love

BTW: Does anyone know if returning cats usually get home during daylight hours or at night?
Do they travel at night or during the day?

Have posted Bailey as missing on the Animal Search UK website. (for free but made a donation to them too ).Hope to get some professional posters and leaflets done next week so I can replace my own ones on lamposts etc. They look much better than mine of course. and they provide some fixings etc. Hav...

Thanks for your post AhmedUK I've just been looking out of my front window talking to him..willing him to make the journey home before it gets too cold and wet...I hope he can pick up the vibe and realise someone desperately wants him home..If dead, please give us a sign as to where you are so we ca...

Thanks AhmedUK Bailey being taken is one conclusion I've come too..but it's by no means the only explanation for his disappearance. Every scenario I come up with I can usually think of a reason why it doesn't fit with what I know of my beloved Bailey...All my friends and neighbours are baffled as it...

Thanks for your kind words Gemma...I still don't feel in my heart that Bailey is dead.. It isn't his time. That's what makes it so hard to come to terms with him not being here. I just hope that if someone did steal him for themselves that they are keeping him in against his will so he settles down....

I have been reading the posts for Gemmas cat Penny...how she missed finding her first time of looking...I feel the same anxiety...Our beloved Bailey is missing (since 9/11/14) He never went far from home..maybe two doors down either side..Everyone has looked in their front gardens etc..but can't hel...

Dear Fran_ki Thank you for your info...I have him on the Get Surrey website as they now have a missing pet section... I can't imagine the radio station entertaining a spot for missing pets etc ..they would probably be swamped.! It would take up the whole day.. (how sad so many pets go missing, but a...

Oh btw: I'm not on Facebook or Twitter or anything like that...I've gone all my life without them so can't think why I'd need them now..but I see your point. They certainly get to a huge audience.

Thanks for your kind words Hannah..Oh how we miss them so. I can't believe he's gone.. As we go out the front door I say " Be good.." as usual but there is no one there to chirp an "Ok" When we return there is no one standing in the hall to greet us with a meoww. If he was dead a...
