I'm so pleased that Boris seemed to take it all in his stride. I've just realised by looking at the photo again that he's got his paws crossed He is certainly a handsome boy. He did his best to help reduce your stress. Sometimes they are full of surprises.

Awwww Jan. Georgie is sooooo gorgeous!!! He definitely looks like he's up to something

Hi Julie. I'm happy to report that she did a poo very early this morning before I got up. Just in the nick of time too. She is great in herself. Purring and being extremely vocal. Over the last few months she has developed a repertoire of different squeaks. I know when she's not feeling good cos she...

I'm so pleased your little girl is continuing to pick up and getting back to her normal self. What a relief that must be for you. Hopefully it won't be too long before she starts playing again with Daz. Then you'll feel happier. Sarah I've just got to say how thrilled I am that Lou Lou and Edgar hav...

Jacks yes I remember that :D Someone posted it on here. Think it was back in October or there abouts because Fluffy had just had her rather severe hair cut!! For a while I even had it as my screen saver! In fact I'm not sure if it was Julia that posted it (could be wrong). It made me laugh so much t...

Thanks Sarah. I'm glad too that she likes them. I've just tried her with the granules from the vet again. She's refused them once again. So it looks like the fibre response might be the one thing she will eat that helps her. Our girls cause us some worry don't they. Having said that, I hope Edgar is...

It was always my dream to go to Australia one day. I'm having second thoughts now!!

Helen that's brilliant!! I feel sorry for that little cat. Her expression has definitely been taken advantage of

Fluffy looks like that even when she's in a good mood!! That's why it's so hard to find a picture of her with a kind and gentle look on her face.

Thanks for making us laugh.

Great news Cathy. You'll be glad to get your lovely boy home. Sounds like he coped quite well on the journey. So relieved that nothing other than a lump of ear wax was found. Give Boris gentle fusses from me.

It's reassuring to know that it takes some time to work. There must be something in the smell that is appealing as once Fluffy had smelt it, that was it, it had gone!! It is such a pity that the prescription renal food is so unpalatable. Especially since I've just got in 4 boxes of it. She went thro...

Great news Julia. Well done to you and Tig

Thinking of you all today!!

Thanks Mark for the link. I will have a look and give it a re-think. I've started Fluff on Fibre Response and good news is that she seems to really like it. Gave her a few in my hand yesterday and she'd finished it in record time. Unless she's been and had a poo outside, which is a bit unlikely, she...

Thanks Ria. That one with the rotating teeth looks tempting. It's Fluffy's undercoat that is the problem as there's loads of it. I think I might just order one for her. Anything is worth a try. I'm not at all surprised at what that lady said about the furminator. It really seems to drag the fur out ...

Pleased the swelling is going down and she seems more like herself. I adore Daz. Just the fact he knows to go easy with Peaches is sooo lovely. I suspect too that the presents might be for his little friend. It's a good job there's an ocean between us or I'd be on my way over for a big cuddle with y...

Sarah the parcel has just arrived!! That was quick wasn't it. Thank you so much. I will start Fluff on it tonight then. I really do appreciate your sending it to us. There's certainly plenty enough to see whether she likes it or not. I think she probably will especially if she only needs a little bi...

I do have that shedding tool handy still. Normally at the side of the bed so I can have a go when she's half asleep lying on me. That along with scissors for any possible mats I can safely get out and the useless brush I mentioned. She's fine til she starts waking up and realises what's going on. I ...

Mark what kind of shedding tool do you mean? Is the furminator a shedding tool? Got that years a go and she hates that. I got a slicker brush. Hates that. A comb thing that was recommended on here for stripping out the fur. Hates that. Zoom groom thing. Hates that cos I think it is a bit too hard on...

Mark I'm so pleased that Laz has had a bowel movement this morning. Hopefully he is back to his normal self and feeling so much better. Good boy Laz. I totally agree that the long fur is a problem. I can even hear in Fluffy's purr when she's got a fur ball in her throat. She purrs really loudly and ...

Poor Sophie. I think the long fur doesn't help either. It definitely affects Fluffy's digestive system. Problem is she absolutely hates being brushed which makes matters worse. Glad Fluffy can be of help. Though she doesn't realise it

Great news Julie :D What a relief for you and a literal relief for Barney! No wonder he's doing several victory laps. He's a happy boy isn't he. You're a great mum and he obviously adores you. It is such a worry when they are clearly out of sorts. They don't realise that we are suffering with them. ...

Awww that's brilliant!! Pepsi you do look very lovely sitting there enjoying the sun in your new garden xxx

I'm so relieved that she seems to be doing so well. It is amazing how resilient they can be. Sometimes I wish we could be the same!! I'm glad she's stealing Basil's crunchies. Proves that her injuries haven't affected her appetite. Give her gentle fusses from me.

Thanks Sarah and Mark. You are both very kind to offer to send us some fibre response. Sarah, I'll take you up on the offer if that's ok. I'll email you. Mark if you're busy today then don't worry. We don't want to be any trouble. Well, I don't anyway. Can't speak on Fluffy's behalf :D Mark I didn't...

Oh Sarah. Poor Edgar. I don't know what to suggest. It's a pity he's not interested in the chicken. He's obviously really out of sorts then. Hope you can get the tins that Helen suggested and that he will like them! So difficult to know what they will eat. You'll probably be able to get them from yo...

Helen I've been thinking about the little girl too. How is she? And how are you?

Thanks Mark, it would be great if you could send some Fibre Response :) I was looking up on felinecrf.org about lactulose and miralax and it seems that miralax is better for CKD so I might look into ordering some soon. Vet said that once lactulose had worked with Fluffy and she had passed a stool th...

Thanks Mark for the reassurance. It doesn't seem that lactulose will cause her tummy pain then if it is quite gentle. Not like senokot :shock: . Wow! Poor cat. Julie I do hope Barney is going to be ok. I know our cats do seem to mirror one another don't they. I've just hand fed Fluffy once again!! T...

Thanks Shelly for the reasurrance. It makes sense what you said about a possible delayed reaction. It couldn't have been very pleasant for her this morning being poked and prodded and things stuck up her bottom!! Poor baby. It's funny how your Dora is so punctual with her bowel movements :). It's a ...

Helen I totally agree that you have done a brilliant job with Peaches. She proved yesterday that she really does trust you and she recognises that you are the one to look after her. I'm so pleased that she responded to you when you were calling her and that she had come home. She may never totally l...
