Re: Bobby update

At Bob's latest check-up (yesterday) the wound on his shoulder is all but closed and the other one is smaller -Great :) We are going away for a couple of days. So mum will be looking after kitties. The vet has offered to board Bobby - which will take the pressure off mum. So he is off on his holiday...

Re: Diversionary Tactics - Back of the neck drops

How do they do that - Radar? I thought I had problems! Only Bobby makes no fuss about drops - he even takes his medicine. Thomas jumps and Purdy and Grace chatter and growl. But if I am quick and firm about it it's OK. But Willow is another story. She gets ear mites as well. I'm afraid the only way ...

Re: Help needed Urgently

Just heard from friends. They are in the middle of a family crisis - Brother-in- Law died leaving chaos in his wake. Very sorry can't help.
Wish there was something I could do to help. Let me know how you go on.

Hi Dani
so sorry to hear of your situation. I have friends in Wisbech, I could ask them if they know anyone who could help. It's not that far from you. Just say the word.
I hope you find a new home for yourself and kitties very soon.

Re: HOW CAN I TEACH BARNEY TO TOILET OUTDOORS ?!!

My first cat, Willow (the princess) is 11. She, like all the others, has the run of our large garden and the wilds of rural Fermanagh beyond. She goes out, has a toddle around, then comes in to use the litter tray - she always has! :roll: How much of a gardener are you? I will tell you a sure-fire w...

She too has a thick, healthy coat. Another one of ours, Purdy, is very slim and active and a menace to the local wildlife...

Re: I thought it was a grub on my cat's neck - now I'm perpl

Booktigger is right. Our Gracie got a whack on the bum that turned into an abscess. She is such a fatty we didn't see it until it was quite big. She too was very poorly. We had it lanced and she was given abs. She is fine now. But I think we only just caught it in time. I would say get it sorted ASAP.

Re: Warning about Morrisons own brand Cat Tunnel with dangle

Makes you go cold just thinking about it! I know some toys say not to let your cat play with them unsupervised, but you would not imagine they could be so dangerous. It is a lesson to us all.

An update on the update...
Bob continues to improve. He had several stitches out yesterday. But the area over his shoulder blade has not yet closed properly. Probably something to do with him bouncing around like a mad thing! Still wearing his bandage -blue this time.

To all the kind folks asking after Bob - he had a dressing change this morning and the wound was dry and a lot cleaner. The vet was pleased with him and I was cock-a-hoop! He has also put on a little weight. His new dressing is yellow, he looks like he is in the Tour de France! He is fast asleep on ...

Re: Should I report my neighbours to the RSPCA?

Mmm, that's quite a problem! I've never had much luck with the RSPCA. Can your local Cats Protection help?
It sounds like something needs to be done for the poor little fella. I wish I could be of more help. Let us know how you go on.
We could always hope they move house and leave him behind.

I think Kay is right. The cat is probably used to your garden anyway. So if he is use to doing so and your new neighbours don't mind him popping back there should not be a problem. Feeding him in your house asap is a good idea. Some years back we lived at the end of a cul-de-sac. Our next door but o...
