Cat Chat Feline Forum

Blimey - that really is a big difference! :shock: Pugwash ends up with most of his dinner on his chin as well - I have to sponge him every other day or it goes crusty! :roll: That made me laugh :lol: :lol: Barney loves whiskas cat milk and I can honestly say that it looks like he has dipped his fac...

Julie - We do have local shops, but the £10.00 I spend on petrol is more than made up for by the money I save in Enniskillen, eg, locally bread, milk, Felix AGAIL and hankies come to £11.04. Enniskillen - £7.77. That's just 4 items![/quote] Oh crikey, that's a huge difference ! :o I can see why you ...

Booktigger...you are very iucky !! My problem with Barney is that he would wolf down his food one day...then the next day, I get the "You must be joking !" atitude... :roll: .....though hopefully I have now found a few different choices which I vary from day to day, though only having 2 te...

Goodness me Bobbysgirl..50 miles to the nearest shop !!. :o ....I live in the countryside, and it's very quiet, but thankfully at least the local shop is a little nearer !!... I know what you mean about "the look"....I get it at least once a week ! It speaks volumes..he looks at his dish, ...

Oh Joolz....I can only imagine how you are feeling right now......thinking of you tonight....x

Thanks Hazel for that, I will take a look at Morrisons again, I know the Stratford on Avon one didn't have it, just hoping my local village shop keeps stocking it !!

I seem to recall Butchers Tripe too ! What a smell

I know how much it hurts and what you are feeling is completely normal....I cried like a baby for a long time, my thought filled with "This time last week.."..."This time last month..." ... My boy 'CC' used to wait for me every day at the top of the drive just before I finished w...

Thanks Lilith and Alice for the advice on where to buy, we have a Poundstretcher not a million miles away in Stratford, so if my local little shop has no stock, I can try there.

Thanks everyone for your replies, it has really helped me make up my mind. Barney seems to love it and as long as I mash it up with some warm water (if I don't he will wolf it down without chewing and make himself sick :roll: ) it seems to have filled him up a little more than the other food I have ...

That's so sad Jill....

Thankfully I now have a good vet, who actually cares about our pets welfare and understands our feelings....but there are many, still like the first vet, who only see being a vet as making money ......x

Thanls Lynn...I thought it was just me !! When our last cat 'CC' had oral cancer, the first vet (the same one we had taken our dog to) kept trying to aggresiively pull his mouth open, I told her quite angrily to stop and realise that this was my pet, not a piece of meat ! She could not dianose a thi...

My thoughts exactly Lynn !! Do you get Butchers Choice in Australia at all ?......I sometimes wonder how much commision vets are taking by offering only the "best" food as a recomendation ?....Barney seems to react just as well to 'ordinary' priced food, as he does to the more expensive......

Oh Joolz. I am so sorry, Ifeel your pain too...I hope you don't mind me copying my reply to another poster earlier this week, but it's just what I would want to say to you too....I have been there, as most of us have..and it hurts... It took some time to get past the point of "What if only....&...

Thanks so much for that crewella..... I have to be so careful what I feed Barney, any trace of fish and he just sicks it back up again, repeatedly ! I am very much with you in the sense that I really don't like to give him the same thing every day, I always like to vary his diet....Fingers crossed, ...

Hi all, I have recently been reading some good reports on Butchers Classic food. Barney suffers occasional constipation, for which I treat with RC Fibre Response, he has an allergy to fish and I tend to feed him on Thrive Chicken and Sheba Terinne mixed with plain cooked chicken. I have given him a ...

I totally understand how you feel, I looked out this morning and in the sunshine, next to the bird table is my last boys grave, right in his favourite spot, we built a lovely memorial post and tied his favourite toy to it, I swear I sometimes see his face peering from behind it, usually at times whe...

I prefer my cats to use an indoor tray so I know that they are not using my neighbours gardens. They're my cats so it's my responsibility to clean up after them. I hate other cats using my garden as a toilet. It's also good from a health point of view, you will notice any change in their habits and...

"The man of the house has lost his patience and threatens to get rid of her."......What a lovely "Man" .........he would be long gone with me ....horrid person... :evil: Your 'man of the house' sounds dreadful..... Totally agree with every other poster on here... To not have a li...

Hi Kate Welcome back ! I lost my boy 'CC' to oral cancer in October of 2013, we had to take him on his final trip to the vets within a week of diagnosis, we truly believed it was just a bad tooth at the time, the shock to us was devastating, it was heartbreaking. I subsequently adopted a rescue cat ...

Hi there...and a great warm welcome to the Cat Chat gang !!! :D Personally, I would never cut my cats claws, ever , I will leave that to the vet ! Just in case I get it wrong :? My fella Barney, has never needed his claws cut, to be honest, he does use our wicker chair in the kitchen as a great post...

Hi Lily It took some time to get past the point of "What if only...." and " I wish I could have done more..." The terrible guilt and grief does stay with you a while, I always used to think 'Maybe I should have realised earlier...Maybe he would have been made better' It drove me ...

Oh Lily

So sorry to hear of your loss....we have all been there and understand your feelings, please, if you can, share with us.......I lost my boy last year and it broke my heart.....xx

Hi Joanne

I use a site called Viovet, they are brilliant, they keep you informed to the very hour of what time your package will arrive, they even provide the name of the driver !! Good prices too...

Hi suze

That's great news !

Come on Wesley keep getting better . . Well done x

Hi Suze Please get him to the vet as soon as you can, my last boy did this excessively, it turned uot that he had a tumour on his tongue, it was heartbreaking for us, not saying that this will be the case for you, but you must really get him to a vet to rule out anything bad, our vet also told us th...

Hi Sally The fact that everything else has been ruled out with tests from your vet and the fact that you say that he actually wants to eat, would indicate a dental problem to me, he must be feeling uncomfortable trying to eat...please ask your vet to check his mouth and teeth, I lost my boy to oral ...

That's great news !

Certainly sounds like Hector is on the mend, so pleased for you, keep up the good work Hector ....x

Katie, you are amongst friends, who so understand your feelings of grief and loss here..you are not alone... I cried as I read your story, I too went through this grief and guilt just over a year ago, with my precious boy, I never thought I would smile again, I sobbed until I could sob no more, the ...

We have everything crossed for Brave Hector here, hoping the antibiotics kick in soon and do their work.....please let us know how he is please...thinking of you.....x
