Cat Chat Feline Forum

My lot like the Asda food too. We get food donated for the foster cats, so every third or fourth meal they get something random, but my lot mainly get Felix AGAIL or Butchers Classic and do well on it.

Bless her - I do love a 'characterful' cat!

I have one similar to this, which has a ridge around the edge to collect the pee and is a Godsend for the older cats that sometimes don't quite get their butt in far enough! http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Omega-Paw-Cleaning-Litter-Mat-/252419734772?hash=item3ac5637cf4:g:zCQAAOSwOVpXWg2s or http://www.eba...

Paddington, as did Pugwash before him, gets so excited and mesmerised by the sight of his bowl coming that he walks into things and falls down the kitchen step because he will not take his eyes off it! :D Oh Crewella that is as heartbreaking as it is funny... :( :D It is, and that's why I have such...

Oh good going Blackie! Hope it continues that way! xx

Sounds as though the appointment could have gone a lot worse, but hopefully she will get used to a routine and be less 'huffy'! Give her a (careful) fuss from me! xx

The 4% stated on cat food refers to the named meat, not the total meat content which is much higher. The ingredients are listed in order of the highest percentage first.

Sarhun, just to warn you that this is a UK based forum, so might not be of much help in your circumstances?

That's great news - well done all round!

As Lilith has said, it sounds as though 'Maud' had herself a garden party, and is very lucky to now have someone to take care of her and her 'happy event'!

I have no knowledge of this and nothing useful to add, just wanted to send my support. xx

A little late to this (busy week) but I agree with the others, they look like they get on pretty well to me. My original family of cats were all related and often slept together in a big heap, but it's rare for me to find any of my current gang (not related) sleeping together these days. Different e...

She is absolutely gorgeous, such a cheeky face! Congrats.

It took a couple of weeks to really notice the weight gain, but the improvement in his poos was almost overnight. I have five here together, all over 10, and all with different nutritional needs, so have to run feeding time like a military operation. All cats get the same bowl, in the same place, in...

I tend to take on all the elderly ex-strays that come in to our rescue, and all of them are pigs and will gorge on any food they can find. Most have been elderly, so pretty set in their ways, but even Daz, who was 5 when he got here, has to be monitored closely or he'll end up a four-legged football...

He's a fine looking lad, I love his markings! Looks in fine fettle, too.

Lovely pics, Medo is a real beauty too, like the rest of them!

Phew - I'm so pleased for you. Thanks for updating.

Last year I had an elderly ex-stray with dreadful, stinky, sloppy poos and malabsorption issues, the RC Gastro Intestinal was a huge help with him and enabled him to, finally, gain some weight.

I think I'd opt for the cattery and separate pens, in your shoes. Good luck.

I agree with Sue, and think you're right to stick with a mix of wet and dry. Glad he seems OK. xx

Poor Lucy, I sympathise with hip issues too - I've had a hip replacement since my early 20s. Hopefully you'll be able to help her. xx

Because I foster (and am a sucker for a sob story) I've taken on various older mogs over the last few years and found that, as long as the cats are essentially sociable and given plenty of time and space, it usually works out. Only in one case have I had to 'abort mission', when the incoming cat tur...

Putting on weight is usually a matter of weeks rather than days, I'd just keep an eye on her now she's home.

Hopefully it is nothing worrying, and it will be better to know rather than have a lingering concern at the back of your mind. All paws here crossed for Lucy. xx

I have found heat pads or heated beds effective too.

Thanks guys. He originally went back to the main cattery because I was working on the evenings that they wanted to bring him back, but I've taken it as a sign that he should be there and the right owner will come along and find him. All paws crossed for him, he's a sweetheart and deserves a person o...

I'm so sorry to hear this, all paws crossed for a better result now. xx

That's good news, you must be so pleased.

Sadly the two resident cats were very upset by Buzz's appearance, there were ructions, and Buzz was returned. Personally, I don't think he was given enough time or the right introductions but, hey ho, it's probably better that he's back and will hopefully go on to find a good home as an only cat. OH...

Well, that worked! Look at him - butter wouldn't melt!!
