Cat Chat Feline Forum

This was a lovely cat tale to read...however no news since December, anyone have an update please?

We are through the post office...£2,000 and we have made a claim and they paid out without a word of complaint. Mind you, lets see what our premiums will be next year!!

I would honestly think about adding Cystophan to all their foods... Isn't Cystophan for recurrent cystitis and for lower tract urinary diseases? I used to give it to my cat when she developed a recurrent cystitis. Yes, Cystophan helps to support glycosaminoglycan (GAG) layer of the bladder. It also...

I would honestly think about adding Cystophan to all their foods...it just chills them out (I bought mine from Amazon) . Your stray is definitely suffering from anxiety, hence the reason he is sprays. I would also add another litterbox too. Feliway did not work for us, with the spraying (it was good...

I admit I have now succumbed to Oscar coming back into the bedroom. However, in my defence, it has been very cold and his little ears get very chilly !! I have put him back on Cystophan and he has stopped licking the covers. I have read that it could be a sign of anxiety and Cystophan has always wor...

After spending a small fortune on Oscar (the latest addition is a water fountain...which he walks past to get to the tap!!), Oscar LOVES plastic strips. Just long bits of plastic that come on the likes of electrical cable etc. These keep him entertained for hours, in fact last night he brought one u...

I can't add anything to the above, however I just wanted to add that she is very lucky to have found you xxxx

Good luck

Thanks everyone. I never thought about spreading his litter, I might give that a try. Just a bit of an update, the bossy female that's been leading the assault started to approach him the other day. He left the house under my watch, she immediately clocked him and started her way toeards him, he ju...

Ewwww! I know someone whose daughter awoke to a scrabbling sound and a spattering sensation on her face ... her cat had had diarrohea, on the bed, and was cleaning up anxiously afterwards and ... well ... yes ... :o :shock: If that happened to me I'd DIE! Seemingly the cat never did it again. Thank...

Thankyou, its something we have given some thought to. Our back garden is quite large and surrounded by a very tall fence, and the only route of access is through the house as it backs on to other gardens, but we have never seen another cat on the fence or indeed in the garden, I think the fence is...

It really depends on what day of the week it is and what mood our little prince is in, if he eats Sheba or not!!! As a feeder rather than an eater, I always think the Gourmet range looks better...but what the hell would a human like me know

When I got a house of my own and decide to have cats I made a decision, they would not be allowed in the bedroom at night, and so far i have managed to keep the rule. There have been a few times when the meowing and the scratching almost made me give in but i have managed so far to bury my head und...

Trust him! I always did say you'd got a right one there - loads of cattitude :lol: I too have had this problem, but as an insomniac stay-at-home and single too, I was able to sort of arrange my schedule round the cats. Apart from breeding queens going into labour in my bed, bringing me kittens to s...

Firstly ladies, can I say...the above were ALL the wrong answers! I wanted one of you to say, give him this pill and have a lovely sleep. :D Oscar actually slept all last night on my husband, this worked for me. The fact my hubby still can not feel his left arm is (in my opinion) a minor issue! Ruth...

Morning all, once again I’m asking for some help to keep me sane (get a cat they said, it will be fun they said!!) We moved house just after new year, to a move rural location and we all love it. Oscar has gone from an indoor fat lad, to an outside fat lad...he just stays in the back garden, as it t...

Good luck x

I’ve just started watching episodes of ‘My cat from hell’ Wow, there are so many cats with issues in this world...however the one thing the behaviourist deals with every episode is ‘inappropriate peeing’ and every cat seemed to have a different reason why! However, whatever your kitty is getting ups...

We moved last week... I have Oscar on 2 x Cystophan and 2 x Kylkene. I asked the vet if that was OK and he said as they are both herbal, no harm to keep him on them as long as it takes. Frankly, I would have him on whiskey too, if I thought it would work (I'm having it to calm myself down). I also ...

As the lady said - 'Candy is dandy, but liquor is quicker!'

Good luck Blackie and Oscar in your new houses

We love it, thank you x

At the vet's suggestion last week, I upped his Cystophan to 2 daily. I also went round to have a chat with her yesterday. She advised me to go on giving Blackie 2 tablets for the next 10 days. I asked if I should bring him in again but she thought it better to leave it until the Cystophan course is...

I feel your pain x

I have Oscar on 2 x cystophan a day, as I had similar problems. I lowered it once and he got stressed again so I upped it. Maybe try that?

It’s never ending this cat owner marlakwy

As my vet charges over £25 for a medium bottle of Metacam, I was thinking of ordering online as I see it’s so much cheaper. However, I don’t know what the procedure is; do I request a prescription by email from the vet and attach it to the order, or does one use ‘snail mail’ and send the script by ...

Just a thought red wine lady - does your cat get on with other cats? My adult cat had separation anxiety actually, she would really suffer when I left the house for too long, which was one of my biggest motives for getting a second cat - because he was so boisterous, it was hard for her, but really...

Hello you My cat Oscar suffers from stress...he has attachment issues and wants his human slaves by his side day and night! If we are not there he gets stressed which brings on bladder problems and he pee's outside the litter box. We found out this is the reason his previous owner got rid! It is soo...

They are just so damn fickle!! Happy Days xx

I gave £70 of special food to our local cat welfare because of Mr Oscar and his fussy ways. Glad I'm not the only one - local cat rescue does pretty well out of Tilly as well! On the subject of dry food, my Badger cat would only ever eat a few mouthfuls of wet food and leave the rest to Tilly. I ga...

Being a cat owner is the most difficult job in the world, brain surgery must be a doddle compared to being cat slave! I found Oscar likes the Gourmet range at the moment (this could change within the hour). He is not a big lover of meat varieties, he is more a fish sort of cat. I tend to chuck in a ...

Hi fjm in line with Red Wine Lady, sending you & Dave +ve thoughts & to let you know we’re thinking of you both. Booktigger posted support in your first post. Did the vet give any advice other than giving the diagnoses? Fusses to Dave. No, Mayday, to be honest it’s like they’ve seen that it...
