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. I ...

Re: Vets don't know what's wrong - cat with diarrhea!
Just to echo what's already been said.. I've not really got too much to add but I've had cats with squitty tummies over the years and experience has taught me to feed all my cats a grain free and sugar free diet and avoid fishy flavours. I'm also very shocked your vet hasn't mentioned diet.. it's th...
