Cat Chat Feline Forum

have been receiving them fine. I haven't noticed what the time delay has been but will monitor that now!

Hi Hannah Withholding food is not great as cats need to eat regularly. My feeling is that she should eat again today. If you have any chicken you can cook for her that is bland to settle her tummy. Otherwise, a little of what she usually has. When my boy has occasional diarrhoea he has Royal Canin G...

Oh, he's beautiful, Helen. I do hope things continue well with integration. So precious.

Hi Marie How are you doing with your appeal for a home for Thomas. Where do you live? My boy Edgar is around 9 years old, he is diabetic and has only four canines! He is injected twice a day with glargine and has been on a year's programme with the RVC and is doing well. He hasn't gone into remissio...

My Lou Lou is like that, she is happy to be friends with any cat. If only they were all like that. Fusses to Paddington. What an exciting time he is having!

Lilymitz gives wise advice and I know she has been in this situation which I have not yet had to face. Something did occur to me this morning though - MarkB's girl had been fading recently and she has benefitted from B12 shots. That may be something your vet could advise about?

What a darling boy, and what a wonderful mummy you have been to him. Look at his beautiful fur, sleek with love.

Big hugs Helen. You are amazing. x

Hi Anna That's a shame you didn't have a good experience with the animal communicator; I can understand you don't want to pursue that further. Is your vet a holisitic vet? If not, it may be worth making some enquiries and getting recommendations. This is a little radical, but if things don't improve...

He's so gorgeous Helen! I hope he fits in with the others. I am really hankering after an old boy now. Not sure my old girl would be too happy, or my 'mature' boy, come to think of it!

That's wonderful, Helen, and so fitting. Well done. Xx

Anna, I'm sorry, I was dumb asking about Binky's mouth as of course the tooth issue was mentioned right at the beginning. I'd been focusing on the other symptoms since. I do apologise. But yes, that will seriously contribute to her struggling to eat. I would just like to back up Shelly's suggestion,...

Can you get another opinion, Anna?

Something just occured to me? What's the state of her mouth? Could there be a side issue with a poorly mouth making her reluctant to eat?

She looks lovely, Anna. Keep fighting for your girl and keep us updated. How is she tonight?

Xx

Dearest Anna I am so sorry that your darling girl is so poorly and that, naturally, this is causing you and your mum such pain and distress. What a precious girl she looks. As lilymitz suggests, have you been to see her at the vets? She would appreciate seeing you and you may not feel quite so isola...

Oh, Mark, she's so beautiful! That look on her face is great.

Great news! Give King Tobias Warrior (Cool name - just had to write it out in full!) a big kiss from me.

Oh well done Kylie, and well done you, Mark. I am so pleased for you both. Big fusses to your beautiful girl.

My heart is aching for you and your OH, Helen. Bless him, how painful to be digging another grave so soon. The little boy will sleep peacefully in his blanket. The old boys are so gorgeous. My boy is still young, but he knew hard times before he came to us. Hopefully he will have many years knowing ...

Hi Anna Any food is better than no food when the babies aren't well. Have you tried on some freshly cooked chicken or white fish, sardines (nice and smelly) or tuna, a little cooked minced beef or liver. Tempt her with whatever you can to stimulate her appetite. Thinking of you and your little girl xx

Oh Helen, I can't believe it. First dear Puggy and now your lovely little boy. Sending you the biggest hugs you can imagine. Both little boys found their perfect home in their last days - that is a blessing that you will be able to remember forever.

That makes sense - the change to the fish product could be the culprit. I have read a number of times that although most cats like fish it is not a natural food source for them - i.e in the wild they wouldn't catch fish. I've also tried Edgar on Smilia as well as and Ferringa. He is diabetic so I fo...

LOL Ria! Edgar was already eating reindeer Bozita before I started on the lovely stash you gave us. On Monday morning he did a VERY runny - virtually liquid - poo and my first guess was that several days on the trot of the Bozita chunks had been too much for his little (big!) tummy. So I for the las...

She likes her litter tray! She's a cat and cats do things we can never fathom out! There are different types of litter which are less likely to track, such as wood pellets, but if she is comfortable with that litter than it may be best not to rock that boat!

I completely agree with what everyone has said. Keep that litter tray available for your girl. She obviously feels secure doing her business there and to remove it would be like asking us to go to the loo somewhere we felt uncomfortable. Litter trays are not like nappies - cats don't automatically g...

Hello Which Bozita does your boy have? I am a great fan of Bozita but I have noticed recently that the reindeer chunks don't suit my boy's tummy, even though it's such fantastic food. Bozita do a sensitive diet version in smaller tetrapacks and this seems to suit him better. I wonder too if he needs...

Oh Mark, what a roller coaster for you. Hope Kylie has a good week upcoming. Thinking of you both. Kisses to the little girl.

If I ever have two boys who don't already have names they will be called Di Nozzo and McGee after the NCIS characters. Because I don't imagine we'd ever rescue kittens (I am a softie for seniors) then I probably won't get that pleasure, but who knows.... any cat in need is ultimately welcome.

Oh Mrs Kane, I am sorry because I can understand how sad this makes you feel. You want to be close with your little girl. Helen's advice is good. Just keep an eye on her in case you need to rethink taking her to the vet, but try not to burden her with your own anxiety. Run your mind back over anythi...

That's lovely Mick! So glad she allowed you a few strokes. You are such an amazing cat daddy. Phew. What patience, as Kay says. Keeping her safe is crucial and knowing that she can get back home at any time. In her own way, as others have said, she has indicated that she knows and values her home, b...

Is your girl home yet, Mick? Thinking of you. Anything that spooks Cheyenne is obviously a big worry for you.
