Re: Cat moving when asleep

Probably dreaming about hunting a tasty critter :lol: Mine do it too - and they snore, grunt, sigh, fast breathe, twitch, chomp etc... very funny sleep kitties :)

Re: Cat Litter Issues

Hey Mark, is the Sanicat Gold dust free? If it is then I'll definitely give it a shot! I'd like to try the Silica but I've read so many reviews from folk saying their cats don't like it.. plus I do like removing clumps.. the idea of "stirring" the litter seems kinda gross to me :lol: Edit:...

Cat Litter Issues

Hey guys, I'm not sure whether or not anyone can help me with this as it's not a totally straight forward question. My cat Harvey has Asthma caused by allergies so I had to change his litter to a dust free litter - he was previously using standard clumping clay litter and this was very dusty. Due to...

Anyone tried this? Acupressure for your cat in heat...

:lol: My friend has a young female cat, just turned 8 months old. He lives in a flat so she's an indoor cat so although he was intending on getting her spayed, he hadn't realised the urgency as he knew she wasn't at risk of pregnancy and had never experienced a cat in heat before. As a result, he's ...

Re: Can a nibble become a bite?

I don't think he's likely to bite you worse Ahmed, I wouldn't worry about that - very few domesticated cats will bite severely enough to puncture the skin unless they're injured or terrified. If he's just nibbling then it's probably just some weird little quirk he has; all kitties have their quirks....

Re: Kevin's a biter!

My kitten Bailey is exactly the same as Kevin and I've found blowing in his face is the best solution. It's perfectly normal kitten behaviour and you've got nothing to worry about, Kevin isn't at all unusual in his behaviour! As soon as Bailey goes for my hand I blow in his face and he unlatches.

Just to echo what's already been said..
