Cat Chat Feline Forum

I thought I'd give brief background on his upbringing first. So Ted came to us over a year ago. He would spend EVERY NIGHT sat on our wheelie bin until dad got up which varied from 3am-6 each morning and without fail Ted was there. As time passed we assumed he was a stray so last March we took him, ...

Thanks guys xx

Because of the circumstances of what happened to our babies I think its hard to accept and move on:( and of course you have the added questions of not knowing 100% if was him. I just feel so angry it happened. I mean was the car going to fast? did they even know they hit him? and if so did they just...

I am sorry for your loss:( What a fab age though! Hope you are ok.

Having a rubbish night thinking of Erik:( Keep thinking all the 'what ifs' like what if I had not been ill in bed that day, i'd have made sure he was settled in bed like every other day and he may have just not gone out...

UTI or cystitis - either way it needs treatment as urinary blockages can be particularly dangerous in a male cat could the chewing indicate something going on with his gums? it would be the case with a baby, after all I took him and she thinks cystitis. He has a 10 day course of meds and need to ge...

I have two questions. 1. Ted climbed in his litter box, dug around and got back out. I picked him up and put him back in it as I knew he must have the urge to do something. He dug around again then just sat and sat did nothing then waited a bit, got back in and sat again and when he moved there was ...

I know your pain:( I have no idea where my cats body is. All I know was the man who found him dead, put him in a bin bag and in the bin and by the time we found this out it was too late and the bin men had been. The whole thing makes me so so upset:(

After the loss of two cats in 3 weeks we are wanting to get another cat that will get on with our remaining cat. Ted is around 3 and is very hyper, chews things, claws things etc and loves playing. He was fine with our other two cats(Jimmy and Erik) who were here before he came to us however if he s...

Thank you everyone xxx

Thanks guys. I am finding it really difficult to accept. After I lost Jimmy I tried to focus on the future positives and my main one was having Erik around for the next 6+ years. He was such a funny guy. He would 'talk' to you(I must upload some videos on you tube). He was very quiet, never meowed r...

Your story is very much like my friends. Her indoor cat Alexandra escaped out of a window her mother in law left open while they were on holiday. This was around November also. They have no idea where she is or what happened to her:( because she was a very scared cat as well it is doubtful she would...

I need to write this out:( Firstly my beautiful baby Jimmy was diagnosed in November with acute kidney failure. He had his ups and downs and was actually picking up then he suddenly went down hill on new years day, on the 2nd we took him to the vets and he had lost all kidney function so we had to p...

He was found run over by a man yesterday:( I feel devastated I cannot even process it. two cats dead in 3 weeks.

My beautiful cat Erik had not been seen in over 12 hours:( this is unlike him. His day usuallu consists of him been let out at 6.30am he is then home by 8am and then sleeps till mid afternoon around 3ish, goes out for a few hours then comes back and sleeps and then goes back out around 9pm until mid...

I need to read all these replies. Mine usually have a big mix of food. I find they get bored easily on one brand. They currently have applaws wet and dry, purina wet and dry, iams dry, hills science plan oral dry amd goemet wet. I usually mix all the biscuits up togeather.

Thanks. It faded in the end:)

Thank you so much everyone x

Ah i put Teds flea loation on and it made the red out of his collar run on to his fur. Ive tried just water but no luck. He keeps trying to lick it and i'm scared it can harm him.

Have you a photo I would love to see you boy:D

Thank you so much. Thankfully I am feeling a little better after lots of sleep. Now I an update. We took him to the vets at 8.50 and he was seen to by a lovey vet who felt him all over. He said he could feel what seemed like a mass in his abdomen. He said he didn't seem constipated etc but they woul...

Thanks. Worse day as i have a sickness bug too:(

i'll update more when I can. but he has gone:(

Oh my he is a big boy. My advice is not to leave any food out . To lock him in another room when the others feed maybe?

<3 I don't know what to say:( big hugs to you xxx

My parents think the vet will put him down:( They say his kidney function must have totally gone for him to be not peeing:( I just caught him in the litter box being sick (was just bile). Not sure if he intended to go in there to be sick or he was trying to do something else:(

Thank you. I am debating about over night care for him. Do I just leave him in his normal routine or is it best to bring him upstairs with me? My parents say either way we cannot do anything until morning.

I don't get how one minute he is amazing and the next he seems like death:( i just forced water in his mouth and he made no attempt to even lick it. He seems quite out of it:/ hope he makes a recovery over night. I hate feeling so helpless.

Thanks I had a good christmas and you? Update. So Jimmy had been doing great. He was eating loads, not crying with his teeth and just seemed more like his old self. Yesterday he ate loads but would not eat at night but i put it down to him already eating a bit. This morning there was sick on the flo...

Thanks for all the advice. I actually bought a load of them in and he loves it:) I put his mediation in it and it goes down really well:) A little update. Christmas day he ate NOTHING it was frustrating to say the least. Yesterday however he was much better. Ate a full tea plate of copped up pork wi...
