Cat Chat Feline Forum

:D Aww I’m so glad you’ve found something he really likes, that’s great news! I bet he’s one happy lad now, and as Lilith says, just keep ‘em eating, I’m a firm believer in that. I look after ferals and one of mine is at least 18, I know he can’t be 100% healthy now, but he eats whatever he wants, h...

Allergies can definitely be a pain to sort. As well as some form of summer allergy, e.g. flea bites or pollen etc, which is obvious due to the time of year her skin breaks out, my Tasha is definitely allergic to Webbox, because she’s sick immediately after eating them. I checked out the ingredients ...

Well fingers crossed something works. The worse thing for Tasha was, she loves going out and we were having to keep her in with the collar on for a week at a time. You can end also end up spending a fortune on stuff. If all else fails I’d definitely ask the vet about Isaderm, it seems to be working ...

I do hope she’s home now.

Although you know her better than us, I agree with Lilith, whilst she’s still got some appetite etc, then I’d be inclined think she’s still doing ok. Even when she loses her appetite for a while, there will be good and bad days, it’s when the bad outweigh the good and she’s really no interest in lif...

I’ve never heard that area indicating food allergies, although I have heard flea allergies (i.e. bites), which is what we though was the cause of Tasha’s until she was still breaking out despite being treated monthly. I wouldn’t be too happy using Synulox long term tbh, I hope the more natural treat...

What does the vet say? I used to use the comfy collar and the powder but the vet ended up giving me the steroid cream because although the over the counter stuff helped, it would come back. Allergies are a nightmare, my cat is still scratching but the Isaderm cream is keeping it under control and sh...

So sorry you’ve still not found your cat, keeping everything crossed he’s soon home too x

Like Lilith I have antiseptic powders, namely these two, they’re very similar: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Johnsons-Veterinary-Products-Antibacterial-Powder/dp/B003TL7VO0/ref=sr_1_1?s=pet-supplies&ie=UTF8&qid=1531485159&sr=1-1&keywords=antiseptic+powder+cat https://www.amazon.co.uk/Vetz...

Poor Cyril. Have you tried lots of different foods to encourage him to eat? Gourmet pates are usually a winner with mine when they are poorly and off their food. Strong smelling fish may help, or even some white boiled fish or chicken. Or have you tried a prescription food from the vets? Hills AD I ...

She is adorable. Sorry but I had to have a little chuckle to myself at her hiding :lol: nawty little minx!! don’t they scare us! I had a similar experience when I fostered two kittens. Turned out they were up my chimney on a little ledge, worried me silly they did!! Give her a snuggle from me and te...

Great news!

Hi and welcome :) So sorry for your little foster cat, it must awful for them. I too have a cat like this, it’s an ongoing thing so I’ve posted a few times about this in reply to others, and just found a couple of threads I’ll give you the links to, they may be helpful: https://www.catchat.org/felin...

Why is she only having biscuits, is there a reason for that? I adopted 2 cats who had tummy troubles but were fine with Purina sensitive, but I still used to give them some other foods, e.g. foods which we ate, such as fish, and the odd other pouch they could tolerate. I just think it must be reall...

My cat likes plastic, I have to be very careful there’s none left lying around! She also likes my hubby’s armpits

Hi and welcome Yes neutering should help, just to add to the other good advice, there’s lots of info here:

I was going to post a similar topic as I have a cat 2 weeks now that I took home from an adoption centre - I think she was an indoor cat with the previous owner and had been as the shelter for 2 months - she is 2 years old. I introduced her to my garden and she has been eating grass every time she ...

Hi and welcome. Oh this awful, having experienced this myself I too would advise to try and secure your area better, and I would have a serious word with the owners of the dogs (we had to do this when it happened to us). I don’t know where you’re from but neutering the cats is so important, can you ...

So sorry your cat has gone missing. Someone I know has a cat who tends to go awol during summer and comes home after a few weeks. I do hope your cat is home soon, everything crossed xx

Hi,

I notice that you posted about this 4 years ago - did you sort the problem out before and has it started up again?

Meanwhile this link may be helpful:

Fusses to her x

Hi and welcome. Aww bless her, I love the oldies and she’s definitely doing well to get to such a good age. I had one well into her 20’s and she was a right character. Regarding not eating as much, has she had a vet check? just to check all is well, full blood to check for things like thyroid (as th...

That’s great news! so glad you’ve nipped it in the bud fusses to Tipsy x

Thank you all for your thoughts and advice. She seems to be eating more of the new food. She hangs out with me when I'm home and not hiding as much. He coat also seems to be fine, she cleans herself as usual. Her breath is not too bad at this point, just normal kitty breath. LOL! Her weight has see...

My cat has exactly the same, we think. We were originally told it was a flea allergy, she doesn’t have fleas but they bite her, like we get bites and itch her. So the vet said to treat her monthly with Advocate. Then last year after 2 weeks she was breaking out and bleeding, and I was having to put ...

So glad she’s home again and I hope she continues to do well

Poor Pallina, sending get well wishes to her and hoping she’s home and feeling much better soon. (Re Metoclopramide, I once had that and it made me feel terrible, I just didn’t know where to put myself, it was kind of like restless legs but all over my body, I think it’s a common side effect, hopefu...

Have you tried Gourmet pates or tinned salmon? they’re good to try if all else fails.

I don't feel I can really interfere unless they do ask me to take a kitten. (Maybe they'll get lucky and their cat isn't pregnant after all - she's not bulging at the moment. But I wouldn't count on that.) But if they do get stuck with a litter, I thought maybe I could print them out an information...

Brilliant! I did read and thought I bet she’ll be back with it being 2 weeks she’s been there, I’m really glad she is - give here a fuss from me!

She’s lovely! It must be awful for them with all that fur on!
