Re: Feliway - Shelter cat settling in

We bought a Feliway diffuser when our rescue cat was struggling to settle in and decided to wee behind the TV! I can honestly say the diffuser does not stop stratching (I bought a repeller stray, which worked for my wallpaper but not carpets). I've spent £100 on a pole, horizontal scratch do-da and ...

Re: Worming tablets and behaviour

Thanks for your reply...I will have look at he pill pockets first.

Do I Keep putting food down? I'm not sure why he is refusing to eat the food when it's got nothing 'drug wise' in it.

Little man looks angelic but he was probably a serial killer in a previous life...but I adore him!

Worming tablets and behaviour

Hello All I'm asking for help again, backstory...we have had a 6 year old indoor rescue cat for 8 weeks, his previous owner got rid when she had baby. Oscar is a gorgeous large boy who the vet says is a little over weight ( 6.2 kgs!), who loves his food. It has taken us weeks to build up trust and f...

Re: New Rescue House Cat

Just an update, I've been to the vet who chipped my big fella (not a peep out of him, the brave boy) Nothing wrong with his claws so no clipping required, he recommended worming and de-fleeing all for the cost of £70....probably cheaper elsewhere but I'm new to this.

Re: New Rescue House Cat

Funnily enough, my vets have just done a Facebook post with costs of certain things, claw clipping is £12.51. When I first adopted cats it was around £6, so I learnt to do it myself! I'm assuming Oscar isn't from a rescue? Yes he is a rescue cat, he had all of his vaccinations before we got him.......

Re: New Rescue House Cat

Many thanks for your replies, I think my husband and I have turned into first time parents at the age of 50 and are over thinking everything. Regarding flees...I doubt he has them, as he has never been out and we have never had another cat in the house, however I've booked him into a chattery in Nov...

New Rescue House Cat

Hello all, we have just adopted our first cat (our first pet!) and I am looking for advice. Oscar is 6 years old and we have had him for 7 weeks...huge boy who loves his food, playful, sociable when he wants, very curious but struggles to settle...he seems to be constantly moving from one place to a...
