Cat Chat Feline Forum

Just for information, Pedigrees do find themselves in regular rescue centres sometimes, but rarely kittens - nearly always it is adult pedigrees in rescue. But for those who will only consider a particular breed, they could consider an adult, or even a 'young adult'. There is a list of specialist pe...

The best thing to do in cases of welfare issues is to lodge your concerns with the RSPCA’s cruelty and advice line. Describe the circumstances and they will be able to advise if it warrants an inspector’s visit. The number is: 0300 1234 999, and your call will be kept confidential.

I had a problem with one of my fosters peeing. Like joolie75 I also used vinegar, it was white vinegar which I used and a spray bottle also. It did get rid of the smell thankfully! I can totally sympathise with you though, I tried everything I knew of including biological washpowder and various pet ...

Hi, I'm so sorry for your family loss and it must be hard for your mum right now. If you do need to rehome the cat though please read through this link and be careful about advertising on classified sights. This link has the best and safest advice on rehoming a cat, which is preferably through famil...

I'm so sorry to read this, my thoughts are with you.

God Bless gorgeous boy xx

I am so sorry for your loss (((hugs)))

God bless little one xx

I am so sorry (((hugs))) to you and your girl. I presume you've discussed with your vet and been told there's nothing they can do to help her? if so, then although it's the hardest thing, I know, it is also the kindest thing to save your little girl's suffering. I just really wanted to say take care...

That does appear to be looking better, I do hope it continues to heal, love to gorgeous Hector x

Poor Hector, another thing you could try if the aloe vera doesn't work is a good Manuka honey, if you've not already tried that? I use it on wounds and when we adopted our last cat, she was from a rescue at a vets and the vets there were treating one of the cats who was awaiting a home, with the hon...

Hi, it's good of you to care about this cat. Have you seen the found cat advice here: http://www.catchat.org/lost.html#found" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; If you can handle the cat it would be helpful if you can take the cat to a vet so that they can check for a microchip....

Hi Obaidi,

Milk doesn't go down well with most cats as most are intolerant it will upset their tummies. Can you get in touch with a vet ASAP so that they you can explain and advise what to do in this situation. Hopefully other forum users will be along to help but that would be my advice to you.

One of my cats had terrible gums described as 'like raw liver', like Julia's cats he wasn't FIV either, (although the vet was very surprised due to the state of his mouth and other issues) but was in his teens when we adopted him. After trying all treatments including abs, mouthwashes, me scraping t...

I wonder whether leaving the tap just dripping for a while would help? I've also found some cats like water fountains, or 'their own mug' left on the floor with some water in is really tempting for many cats over their water dish! Those things worked for my crf cats, although I never had to syringe ...

We haven't adopted another cat since, so it's been a long time, initially I just needed time, that was just my personal choice . We do care for some ferals though so we've not been without feline company even though it's just outside. We were going to adopt another oldie but we decided to have a hol...

Hi, it was April last year and my old girl hadn't been out all winter and it was a lovely day. She went missing and we found her the following morning in the allotments just behind our garden, but didn't know what had happened. That's when I went to my vets to to discuss with them because I just wan...

I am so sorry for your loss ((hugs)). I experienced a similar situation with my cat, she was we believe, attacked by a dog although I didn't find my little one until too late and didn't know what had happened until I witnessed the same with my feral cat the following week and he was left identical. ...

I get this a lot with my foster cats initially. I agree with the ignoring, after a week or so my latest foster cat has settled now and this morning didn't even get out of her bed when I got up! I also make sure there's some food down usually give them some wet food and leave biscuits to nibble on th...

Hi Notjustcat, I've not been following your story so I don't know the ins and outs here. I was just wondering though, have you tried actually picking Cheyenne up and putting her on your knee and if so what happened? The reason I ask this is that I foster for RSPCA and I get a lot of sad cases whereb...

Hi, Scatty's right - in many cases this rule is very often due to the landlord's concern about pets ruining their carpets or furnishings. However, there is lots of advice and information here which may help you persuade the landlord otherwise: http://www.letswithpets.org.uk" onclick="windo...

Aww Desley, I'm so sorry. Gorgeous Molly, that's a beautiful photo of her, and yes I bet she was very spoilt, she deserved it bless her.
God Bless Molly xx

So sorry about your mum, and that you and Widget are in this situation, was he close to his partner? I do hope he's not missing his pal too much too. Have you tried all close family or friends as they will be your best bet, at least until a rescue can take him in. Here's a list of general rescues in...

I think I would agree with Camdengirl, I would do all I could and you never know..if you don't you may regret it. I am not in your position though so if you're really unsure, I ask my vet what they would do if it were their cat.

Please give your little chap a gentle snuggle from me xx

Hi, it's very kind of you to care for this cat, did you take her to the vet to check for a microchip?

Hi, this link has lots of info on moving home with your cat which may be helpful:

Hi, I would get in touch with a local rescue such as Cats Protection asap. I've contacted them for the loan of a trap and I would think they'd be best to advise if trapping is difficult as they have lots of experience. If they can't help try other local rescues. Best of luck.

Hi, I've not read all the thread and don't know much about the background of this, but it sounds like you've posted before? anyway reading your first post I was wondering whether you've tried adding some soil to the litter tray to encourage your cat use it? that sometimes can help if the cat is used...
