BED MONSTER!

Has anyone heard of a cat causing a heart attack. At about 2.00 this morning I was jogged out of a very pleasant night's sleep by a shaking of the bed. I turn over to find a lump trying to force its way out through the top of my duvet cover. I jumped up startled with visions of John Hurt's alien inf...

Re: Cat Fence

What a dilemma! We had a bruiser called snowball, (black cat named long before the Simpson's cat)! He was the neighbourhood bully who would let only me pick him up. I married into him and my husband hadn't had him neutered. I insisted he was and that calmed him down a bit. I take it Tyson is already...

Hello folks, its been a while. I heard a program on the radio asking people to put water out for strays, hedgehogs and other wildlife in this current heat wave. What started as one bowl has now grown to eight round the perimeter of the house. Getting lots of visitors including a fox or two. I hope t...

Re: Cat the Hunter

I think Georgia knew how upset I was with her. She spent the rest of yesterday sucking up to me and acting all kittenish. Come to think of it I didn't notice the gape on the sides of the bird's mouth so you're all correct, it couldn't have been a baby; I didn't know they were so tiny. My little rat ...

Re: What are your thought's on..........

Georgia wouldn't have a collar on from day one. We bought her three and she just ripped them off. Yowlee on the other hand felt naked without one and would stand perfectly still while any new collar was being adjusted. They were both microchipped anyway, but my stepdaughter has her dog microchipped ...

I was sitting on the bed this morning, fully clothed in my gardening stuff, waiting for the frost to lift enough for me not to develop frostbite. We have mirrored wardrobes in our bedroom so I could see Georgia sneak in and scuttle under the bed. I bent down and peered under and there she was with a...

Re: Hi I am new here.

So pleased she's home. In my experience cats soon find their own feet in a new situation. The first thing Georgie did even at ten weeks, was to go around the house rubbing her face against everything, including the dog, 'thats mine, and that's mine and you're mine'! :lol:

Welcome to CC I agree with Maryskater I'm not very impressed with the shelter, they normally get the cat home ready which includes, coat conditioning including de-fleaing and worming. Still, once you get her home you'll soon have her sorted out, the lucky girl. Good luck ;) ps my cat is on Felix and...

Re: New cat obsessed with our hamster

Georgia is just the same when I clean my canary out. I separate the top half and wash the tray and base in the sink. The top half remains on the work top next to me with Busby inside. Georgia then sits on the windowsill staring motionless at him. And when I give a cough she looks up as if to say, I'...

Re: cat with kidney problems

I had a cat who was in renal failure for six years before he passed away. When he was on a downward path for a few days I broke up chunks of cheddar cheese for him and it perked his appetite up enough to get him eating again.

We adopted a 'blow in' a few years ago and named him Yowlee. He was the best cat we ever had and he lived with us for seven years until he became old and frail and at about 17 we finally had to say goodbye to him. We found out not long after he moved in that he was someone else's cat. When he was br...

Re: Spaying

My Georgia wasn't quite 6 months when I had her spayed. However, she did need some nursing and looking after. Your cat will have a 'collar of shame' on for a couple of weeks so that she won't pick at the stitches and as she's so young and little this is going to be awkward and upsetting for her, (ge...

I know what that's like. When Yowlee was near the end of his life he disappeared for a whole night. I was convinced he'd gone off to die somewhere as cats sometimes do. I looked for him up and down the street until midnight, then sat up all the rest of the night with the window open. I must of event...

We were lucky with Yowlee; when we found Georgia as a 10 week old we were a little worried about Yowlee being a bit rough with her.
