Re: a tip for the desperate

Willow is the one for wardrobes and due to her cross-patch nature, she is known as 'the witch IN the wardrobe'. :lol: :lol:

Purdy likes the airing cupboard. She likes to roll all over mummy's clean washing! :o

Pleased to hear that Tay and Tilly are both doing well.

Re: For George

Susan, that is a beautiful tribute to you boy (she said through tear-filled eyes!). RIP sweet George. As Vivian says you could get a nice plant to mark his grave. I have a 'Bonica' rose on Bonnie's (dog) grave, a 'Rosa Mundi' on Rosie dog's grave and a 'Thomas' heuchera on my Tommy cat's grave. They...

RIP Tabby. It is sad to lose them at any time. But it sounds like you gave him a happy, peaceful end and that's something to hang on to.

Re: First time cat(s?) owner. Should we get one or two kittens?

Fifteen years ago I found a kitten - around one week old. Never had a cat before, no experience of raising such a tiny animal - really thrown in the deep end! With help from cat owning friends we raised Willow and now have six cats! The latest are brother kittens. They are a delight. Taking on two y...

Re: Coco and Chanel dilemma

I too think that Ruth's idea is the way to go. Splitting them up, to my mind, would be a step backwards and as they are very pretty cats, putting them up for 'general' rehoming would not be in their best interests. For what it's worth I think you have made the right decision. As for temperament, I c...

Re: Abandoned tomcats - RSPCA not doing anything!

I think most folks on here know my feelings about the RSPCA. :x :x Cats chose where they want to be. One turned up at my sister's door. She took 'her' to the vet to get her checked out and found 'he' was an overweight male who had been chipped. On contacting the owner she was told he had been given ...

Re: Bella is missing.

My sister's cat was missing for a week. She searched the neighbourhood, put up posters, the lot! He came strolling back just after the neighbours got back from their holiday. He had been shut in their garage for a week. Nothing to eat and only condensation to drink, but he was fine. It is so easy to...

Re: Cat has fleas, but not the kind that bothers humans

For some reason some humans are far more attractive to them than other. I'm lucky for some reason biting insects don't go for me. I've been places with friends who were getting eaten alive by midges and I was unlucky if I had a couple of bites afterwards. Oooh and don't I know it! :x Most of my fam...

I am so sorry to hear about your cat. You have the hardest decision to make. I once went through something similar with a dog of 17.

Just back from the emergency vets in Ballyshannon. His temperature is 'on the high side of normal' and we had noticed a little discharge from his nose and slightly gooey eyes.

Hi guys, just a quick ask. I have to go out for a while but I'm a little worried about Freddie. He is unusually quiet this morning.

Far better to visit a vet unnecessarily than not to visit one when needed.

I agree ...
