Cat Chat Feline Forum

Mark has a sample of her stools been tested for a stool culture recently for any microscopic organisms?

Did you manage to get Beryl back when she dashed off, or did she come back all by herself?, goodness what a worry,

Thank you for the lovely further update on her, and glad she is much more settled ( apart from the one day ! ) and i am sure she loves you as much back as you love her .

My avatar is Luca, who was a stray, he was only with us 10 months and died very suddenly at the end of June, he is buried in the garden and i chat to him, as if he is still here, i find that helps, i kept some of his fur that he moulted, in a little box with butterflies on, to remind me he is now a ...

My strays love the large polestyrene boxes, that meats and such like are delivered in, With the lid at the bottom i just cut a door in the side of the box,slightly raised and then add a couple of sheets of paper, and they love cardboard to lie on, and an old towel, with the boxes being insulated mat...

4 weeks is not that long at all & and as you say he was a fully grown tom, so no wonder he is still wary, to gain trust after that time, is going to take a little longer, but you will get there i am sure.

Hi i use Eliminall for ticks and fleas, which you can get for £13.88 for 6 on line, even vets said it is very good.

Do your little mogs need the Milbemax twice a year? i think it is prescription only, but others may know where to get it cheaper.

Wonder if he is being a little horror still down to hormones, how long ago was he neutered? it can take a while to calm down. Glad that you have found someone with a bigger cage for him, please let us know how he gets on. I have one mog that has started to appear, looks so loving and brushes against...

if Barney has a blockage due to faecal impaction, which would get worse as nothing can get past , even though he knew he wanted to go, can make you feel so very lethargic , loss of appetite,pain and much more and feel really ill, hope it was this and the best place at the moment for Barney will be t...

I know we don't all read the bereavement section, but is there anyone with lots more knowledge about health/legal/help/ can you have a look at the Charlie Bear thread, as to what to do next or who to report to.

Thank you !

This sounds very very wrong, i am thinking something seriously happened to Charlie Bear, he could have fallen or worse, ( poison)

Not many read the bereavement section, i will start a new thread in general cat, and hopefully someone with more knowledge may be able to help you.

So very sorry.

What a beautiful black coat she has, and such good news that Lily has now found her furever home ! well done you !

uggh! Blue bottle fly maggots are pale whitish larvae, but change to brown cocoons. Does your cat go outside? if so they could have found some cat food that had been left outside or meat of any description ! as it only takes a very short time for the pesky maggots to hatch from laid eggs but if they...

Oh Julie i am so sorry to hear about your father,and Barney. I cannot offer anything apart from my 'virtual' flowers from my little garden ,just picked whilst thinking about you and all the heartache you are going through, take care,

much love
Elaine X

Oh Helen i am so sorry to read this about Puggy, i loved reading your stories about him , i took a liking to him from the start, an underdog,or undercat...they are the best !This year has not been a good one for our mogs. If its any comfort he would know he was loved right to the end. Sleep tight Pu...

What you going to make out of them, Ratatouille?

Best tell Dave to beware of rat bites, and mention that you have had your quota of takeaway Rats for the year !

Just been looking on line for any for sale houses with cat flaps, there is one that is unoccupied on Ashton Court, thats not far from Almshouse Lane,and has a catflap.

Oh i hope so, i wonder if someone had been on holiday for 2 weeks and just recently come home, could you go when its quiet, with dreamies/shake food , cat box, and something that smells of his home,
Good luck , come on Barney ! !

Not been on for a couple of days and this was first thing i read, scrolled down as fast as i could to see the outcome, phew. Do you think Puggy could have a urine infection ? in humans one side effect can make them forgetful and not know where they are, sometimes in elderly mistaken for early stage ...

hmmm. ive got a funny feeling about this. I feel its a wind up :o could be totally wrong and if I am I apologise. But I wont be reading this one anymore. Something not quite right about it :roll: I have been on anti depressants in past on a downward spiral and have claustrophobia/agrophobia but i s...

Dave you look a chubby chops and look so content sat there waiting for your mum to take the photo.

Your journey together has been so lovely to read over the last year, it was meant to be.

Wasn't it worth it to see them now snuggled up on your sofa , what a lovely photo of them, and matching sale bag i see :0)

Hello i see you have added Barney to the Wakefield lost and found ones on facebook, have you asked postie if they know of any close neighbours on Holiday? or even ask a window cleaner to keep a look out,and local vets. I sometimes pass through Notton way so will keep a look out ( we go rural way) , ...

Very very rare for foxes to kill cats,more likely a dog. I think its juts a run of bad luck your street is having,but how many have gone missing unexplained, is it many for number of cats in your area, if so has it been reported. I would keep your little one safe and close to home/inside for now unt...

I know that scenario well, i just put them now all huddled together on a high shelf where they cannot reach, so christmas time its like all the cards on a 6 foot plinth, we make tunnels and build them up like jenga for cats ! no point going to waste after people are thoughtful :0) although one from ...

Can you check if her claws are ok, ? if they are scuffed and short would indicate being dragged, ie dog/car knock, if they are fine sounds like they had a bit of rough treatment from another animal, especially when she was covered in dust and fur standing on end. One of mine came in once like that, ...

Sorry re email address !

You haven't said where you are based, and going by the times you post are you in USA? there may be someone on here who may be able to point you in right direction for help, ( only a few on here are based outside UK )

Sarah - ah, now it all makes sense. :D I'm enjoying this thread. I once joined a geneolgy site - 5 attempts at a password - ALL in use! So I came up with flippineck - it worked! :lol: :lol: hahhha fippineck ! that made me chuckle, sounds like when we got new car other month , and it has voice contr...

Going by the replies, there would not only have been myself burned at the stake in ye olden times, i use pendel in most of my other user names, as in Pendle Witch :0) and my first name.

Does he look like this at all,

Does it look like the elderley one missing Wakefield way?
