Cat Chat Feline Forum

Thank you everyone for all your kind wishes and support over our losing Yowlee. It's something I've come to expect from all you lovely people. But I never expected to open the door today to find a young receptionist from Rogers Brock and Barker, our vets, holding a bouquet of white tulips and a card...

I'm sure they'll settle down once they feel at home. And they have the added bonus of having each other. Give them a cuddle from me.

Yowlee collapsed last night we're taking him this morning

I am so sorry to have to tell you all but Yowlee is now very poorly. His heart is giving out and he is struggling to breath. We called the vet's yesterday and they think its now time. We will be taking him in Monday afternoon, giving us a couple of days to say goodbye. Please pray for him . I'm sorr...

It really was a case of, "only I'm allowed to pick on my sister!".

Well, there's life in the old dog; sorry, cat yet. I was making tea tonight when I heard the most unearthly hoohar in the drive. I opened the back door to find Georgie pinned against the back of the car by the neighbourhood bully, a big black and white called Tut. I was just about to go out and resc...

I'm so sorry, I've just read that again, I've just put moisturizer on my face and my eyes are a bit bleary! I'd still call the RSPCA they tend to have more authority to get on to land than we do.

I'd inform the RSPCA to see if an officer could come down and catch it. Other than that try to get close enough to give it some food or if you can photograph it and the area its in it might ring a bell with someone.

What, no fainting

Good luck with that Sue, speak to you soon x

Please Alan don't give him any ideas

Hi folks, Back from the vet's again with Yowlee, he came upstairs this morning panting like a hound dog. His sides were heaving and he was clearly struggling. He's lost More weight and is now down to below 4 kilos. The vet said it sounds like his heart murmur has got worse and he is now in heart fai...

She was only trying to help. :lol: When Lysanda was still with us I'd just finished decorating the front room . I cleared everything away, wiped round and hoovered. By then it was getting dark and time to get tea on. Jim came home and as he walked in I proudly swooshed the curtains to and said, 'wel...

Yeah, Yowlee love chip shop cod, and chicken and cheese and milk... if fact its only his own damn food he picks at and its supposed to be good for him!

Yes, Yowlee prefers meat in jelly. In his last check up they had a look at his teeth and for a 17 year old they're not bad. We thought that might be the reason he's got so skinny, he's eating but not thriving. Which is why I wanted to get some tips to bulk him up a bit. He use to be huge actually a ...

Thanks Kay I'll ask the vet about that tomorrow.

OMG! I couldn't wait to see the vet first. I've just tried eggy milk with Yowlee. He loves it, LOVES IT. He couldn't drink it fast enough. Thank you so much for the suggestion.

I've always pondered this idea of cats loving, (well, anything except themselves)! :D I know my two certainly know which side their bread is buttered which makes them behave in a certain way that I like to think of as love. Unlike a dog, I don't think either of them would care very much if I dropped...

If you can get him to eat eggs in any form they are very good for cats with renal issues - a high quality protein that is easily digestible, and the egg white also serves to soak up phosphorus in the same way that binders do. Thanks for that, I'd never have thought of eggs and thank you Lilith I'll...

Hi folks, I don t know whether my last post got through but I was wanting to know if anyone knows of any tasty food my very elderly cat might eat to bulk him up as he is in slow renal failure. He is on Royal Canin renal diet and on daily meds for his kidneys

Hi mayday, how is the rest of the wildlife coping with the heat?

Yes, they were wonderful weren't they

When I'm cleaning my canary out, (I know the cat and the canary)! Georgia will perch on the windowsill in the kitchen innocently watching every move Busby makes. Then she'll shuffle forward inch by inch until I shout at her to clear off. I can imagine her singing. 'Mummy won't let me eat the canary ...

I think you're all completely insane here....I feel so at home

Sebastian was me and my first boyfriends cat he would get into the bath with anyone to the point where we would have to lock the door and he would still scrap away at it until you threw the loofer at the door then he'd sit and whine to come in. You'd have to be quick to empty the bath before opening...

So sweet have you seen Simon's Cat on YouTube. You've got to check it out its so funny. You'll find yourself going, yeah, been there, yeah, he's done that as well!

I would like to know if any of you have noticed, I was going to say 'strange' behaviour from your cats. They're all strange aren't they. But do many of them like the smell of bleach!! I don't encourage them on to the worktops in the kitchen but they invariably jump up from time to time so I have to ...

My two love to drink out of the Bird bath like a couple of strays in spite of the fact that they have a perfectly good bowl of clean water in the kitchen. I think it must taste of sparrow. Hmmmm yum

I think I sent the matrix of the forum into a tailspin. Anyway with much fiddling about and helpful advice from JANE not June I'm back
