Cat Chat Feline Forum

Oh Helen I'm so sorry.

I've only just caught up with this and my heart goes put to you & Daz. Sending huge ((hugs)).

Bless little Peaches. RIP little girl xx

When Dora first came home I put a bed down for her on the landing where she could see me during the night. However..... She was having none of it and managed to climb onto my bed. For about 6 weeks we had the pawing at the face, waking me up at 2am for play, waking me up at 4am for breakfast so on a...

Hi Lyndy. Welcome!

I hope Snowy turns up soon & thank you so much for sending the pic of Felix across to your sister. I know Jackie will be eternally grateful & wouldn't it just be the strangest twist of fate if this thread bought the little fella back home! X

Hi Louise. Is it Blarney? That's a really unusual name. He is a gorgeous fella. Dora decided to own me when she was just 12 weeks old in 2008. I too am a first time cat owner. I joined the site in 2011 and have gained invaluable insights into being owned by a cat. Dora is my world and I love her mor...

Hi there.

Welcome! I'm mum to Dora who is 6, and my entire world.

Super pleased. Welcome home Mama Cass.... Don't go worrying your mummy like that again!! x

He's a gorgeous boy

I tend to agree about letting them set the pace. When I moved with Dora I let her into just the lounge which she sniffed round and then asked to be let into the entrance hall so I let her through. It took her about 45 minutes to go round every room, then as everything furniture wise and human wise w...

That's really interesting because I'd love to do something similar with Dora!x

I worked in insurance for a couple of years and its not a company I ever came across. It's proving more and more difficult to get pet insurance as clearly most insurers are pulling out of the market. I've just renewed Dora's policy which has increased by 98% from last years price but given that my c...

Hi. How is Chompy now? Is he still sulking?

Is it worth plugging in a Feliway defuser if you have one and spraying the carrier with Feliway spray? Alternatively I know some people on here have success using normal human rescue remedy on their cats to calm them down. I think the idea is that you put a couple of drops on your fingers, then rub ...

Hi. Dora's never suckled but she most definitely does a good amount of kneeding me and like Lara will curl up with me in bed normally with her whiskers under my chin. I give her gentle fusses and she makes contented little noises (she's never been one to purr - she has her own version!), then she st...

Hi. Just caught up with this thread.

Glad he's home safe and sound. If you are concerned could you just call the emergency vet for a quick bit of guidance?

Please keep us posted and give him a gentle fuss from me and a furry headbutt from Dora x

Becci it sounds like things are going well given the short space of time since you bought Whisky home. If they've eaten side by side that has to be very positive. I'm looking forward to the first pictures of them together. Fancy Comet having a little brother though!!! I think Sarah is right, there w...

Carol, yes the one we have is the c20.

Having just got up to check Dora got quite excited when I pulled it out of the cupboard to look!! Several pitiful meows later & yes, she's just had a semi handful of biscuits as she was so helpful....x

Hello & welcome.

I don't have any knowledge around this condition but there are lots of lovely peopleon here who will be able to answer any queries you have x

Dora doesn't like her food cold either so I never use the ice packs and it always seems to stay fresh enough x

Hi Carol. We have a duel timer 'cat mate' one. We've had it for about 4 years. Use it probably about once every 3 months. Still using the original battery. I don't like relying on a machine to play mummy but very occasionally it can't be helped and I now completely trust this 'madjic feedies ma shine'

Thank you Lyn xx

The pictures are gorgeous.

I'm blessed to have Dora as she is beautiful inside & out. Wouldn't swap her for the world xx

I don't think that's stupid at all. I worry all the time about Dora. As you know she's an indoor girl. I have a fantastic odd job man/gardener that comes round once a week and does a list of jobs for me. He's a massive animal lover and if im here when he visits makes a fuss of Dora who being the Pri...

Carol I was trying very hard to maintain a professional stance but I think you are probably right!! I think a Pepsi death stare or 2 probably came into play at regular points today!! x

Thank you for all your positive and constructive comments. It's nice to know we can share our frustrations on here without fear of negativity or ridicule. Blasted thing is that my boss is unable to attend tomorrow nights meal which means I'm 'expected' to attend as its bank policy to have a manager ...

I know my girl is totally beautiful inside and out unlike this insensitive woman. I'm incensed that anyone could feel the need to share such a nasty, hurtful and unnecessary comment. If she says anything about it tomorrow I will not hesitate to tell her clearly how I feel about it. If she doesn't sa...

Ohhh Willowgill. Your story of Harry has really struck a cord with me. Its so similar to the bedtime routine with Dora. She has her treatsies at the bottom of the stairs and then I walk upstairs but she has to get to the top first, round the corner into our bedroom at 100mph and be waiting at her fo...

I've just started working with several different teams and in a few different branches to what I was used to. One of the woman has recently handed her notice in. I was relatively sad to see this as she has 35 years experience with the company. HOWEVER...... Having just relocated my office to another...

Hi.

Glad to hear he's ok and he's home already.

Tuna for tea?

Give him a big hug from his Auntie Shelly and a gentle headbutt from Dora x

I'm with Jill on this.... I thought it was a cat toy!!

Well I'm definitely a fully paid up member of the nutty feline club!! I GENUINELY believe Dora totally understands me. Biscuits, foodies, brekkyfast, game (she has a board game where I hide treats), treatsies, Friendlies, servatry (our name for the conservatory), lounge, playroom, kwispies.... They ...

Bless him and bless you for caring enough and clearly considering him as part of your family.

I've spent £000's on Dora and wouldn't hesitate to sell my house and live in a cardboard box with her if need be!!

Best wishes to your boy. Please keep us posted.
