I would suggest theft. My sister and I have actually discussed this quite a bit, even to the point of me hiring a car and transporting her myself to perhaps the next county when I come over for a holiday. Ideally we'd want her to have a good home rather than dumping her in a shelter, but she's just...

Hey guys. I was hoping for a little advice on something that has been gnawing at me for a few weeks. To explain: My sister lives with two roommates. One decided to get a 4 month old kitten about 6 months ago without asking anyone, at much annoyance to my sister and other roommate. I knew at the time...

This is sadly a very common reason for cats to end up in rescue, what makes me cynical about this is asking a 3 figure sum for the cat, I have to wonder if the disability is an excuse, and they are more interested in money - while asking for money detracts from the people that free to good home enc...

Looks like he enjoyed it! Cold or not

"Hey mum! I killed the most ENORMOUS bird today! He was just sitting there in gravy and everything! It's like he wanted me to eat him!"

".... What do you mean he was yours? He was all on his own!"

I keep trying to post recent photos them because I have some really cute ones (including Lola wearing some reindeer antlers at Christmas) but it keeps saying my images are too big :o( Are you trying to post them on here? I've had problems similar on this site. I'd recommend making using imageshack ...

It's really a tough situation but (and I know I'm probably going to get grrs for this) your little baby is what comes first, and if they're soiling his cot that is a bad sign and of course bad for your baby's health. The scratching is also not on and scary to hear. I've suggested some points below b...

I haven't owned an outdoor cat personally but I can give you a few tips from my friends and family. Making sure your cats are micro-chipped is important if you think you're going to have any problems with any of them trying to return home. 5 minutes isn't a lot by car so it shouldn't be more than 20...

How old is Sofi now? is she getting new teeth? She's 3, so I hope not :shock: Are the pencils/pens unused? or just the ones that have your 'scent' on them? I don't know about unused ones as I buy all my stationary from our local and put them into my pencilcase or workbag while there to save them gi...

Well I thought I'd solved this problem....

Asking the local rescue centre for a trap might help if he won't come to your door. http://www.neighborhoodcats.org/HOW_TO_TRAPPING_THE_BASICS" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; This site has some really good tips for trapping. It points out some things that are pretty basic bu...

I admit, as much as I love animals I can't quite get over snakes with their toilet habits. I owned rabbits for 14 years and got over the whole "eating poop is good" thing but I can't quite get over snake mess after babysitting a friends green snake. (Don't ask me what breed it was, all I k...

Ps: My uncle called his cat Snuff because his was all black apart from a little white bit under his nose. I think my uncle had a sick sense of humour.

This is actually a condition. It's called "pica" and a lot of other animals and humans have it too. It means they'll crave something not normally meant for consumption. I had the same problem with my uncles cat. He'd chew through any wires he could reach. In the end I coated any cables tha...

A couple of friends read this paper and then donate it to my snakes for their litter. Bet your snakes loooooove the weekend mail supplements Lilith! As for the Daily Mail...well. I read the thing about how female cat owners are more likely to kill themselves because of the deadly lurgy that gets in...

Bah! I hate these kind of stories! They're right up their with... well... this: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-3105707/Is-CAT-making-child-stupid-Mind-controlling-feline-parasite-linked-poor-memory-reading-skills.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; Thankyou ...

I had the same problem as well. My cat had no idea that play time bites and scratches hurt me (at least I hope!) and for a little while I had a few plasters. Now she's much better and even allows little chin and tummy rubs! (warning, long boring cat owner talk is about to commence!) With your cat be...

I had to laugh at the title of that vid though...music to help your cat sleep. Even my manic Molly spends most of her life asleep. One of the truest things I ever read about cats was, 'how come they don't get bedsores?' :lol: I have to agree with you there Lilith. If it's one thing a cat knows how ...

Hey guys, So I was doing my regular youtube scroll before bed. (I'm a total sucker for rescue videos so I always tend to watch them before I sleep to give me good dreams) when I found this video crop up in my feed: https://www.youtube.com/watch?t=14&v=nxTbvWB9RCs" onclick="window.open(...

Good luck to you in your enquiries! Hopefully if you're successful the RSPCA can find out who sold those kittens to the shop at such a young age. *Fingers crossed*

Hey there Jenni, If she's eating in general, even if it's not wet food it's a good thing. If you're worried she not getting enough water have you tried adding a little bit to her dry food to moisten it up a tad in order to encourage her? I'm not sure what else to add as our cat doesn't like wet food...

I was in fits over these! Deary me. We also used to have a Purdy - a semi-longhaired tabby beauty who was an absolute diva. Sometimes when I got home from work I'd park on the road in front of the house and then stop to chat to one of the neighbours. Purdy didn't appreciate having to wait for her te...

Hey guys, I scrolled back a bit, but couldn't find a similar thread. But I thought this would be fun to do. What little quirks do/does your cat(s) have? I'll start: So Sofi likes to greet me after work by running to the door and then running backwards and forwards down the hall in excitement before ...

I've officially used up the last bag of Crystal litter so once that goes bad I'll try some of the wood pellets our local pet shop guy recommended.

When I took her to the vet the blood tests didn't show anything bad. She does love her water though. I thought maybe it was just a little quirk she had. I change her water maybe twice a day because she's a messy eater and tends to wash herself next to her water bowl a lot so it seems to get full of ...

Sorry I forgot to mention before that I use the monthly crystal litter. Ours is called "Magic Clean" by a company called Vitakraft. It seems to be the popular one around here, but I've never seen it in Britain. I clean her tray every time I decant it with a cheap dish wash soap that's anim...

Throws are definitely a good way to go to protect your sofa from claws and fur. The double sided tape also works a charm if you're out a lot. If I find my cat scratching the sofa I give her the feather duster treatment as she's terrified of it, but my sister found that her kitten responded well to t...

Hey guys, So I've been enough of a saddo with the name calling the past few months that you all know I have a new cat. (Sofi, she's so cute I just want to eat her up. :mrgreen: ) But I feel I'm getting the short end of the stick with cat litter. Now I don't know what's more popular, the weekly sawdu...

I know what you mean about the stress. When we first got Sofi I felt like I was going to explode through the roof and I was sure the cat was aware of it. The sleepless nights of "where is she, is she on the bed? What if she hates me? What if she claws me and wakes me?" were prominent. Than...

I recently swapped Sofi from a horrible cheap Caprabo own brand to Purina "neutered" dry food. She fussed for 2 days but after that she was fine. (The vet recommended it for being much better on her tummy) Cats can be a very picky when it comes to food but my recommendation is don't give i...

Hey Hannah, I'm sorry to hear about Jasper and that you weren't able to be with him at the end. He sounds like a wonderful little cat and just your memories of him brought tears to my eyes. The fact that you have such amazing memories of him I think show that he loved you as much as you loved him. C...
