Cat Chat Feline Forum

One of my girls gets Cystitis on occasions (we think hers is stress related), I've found adding a small amount of warm water to each meal (she only eats wet food) has kept the problem at bay for a while now.

All going well so far, he's his normally bouncy self

I have four cats, one of which likes nothing more than pouncing on one of the others, consequently anytime he's near her there's lots of hissing and growling going on. As long as it doesn't escalate I leave them to it.

Oh my, that Daz just melts my heart, bringing get well soon presents for his girl.

Pleased she's on the mend, you must be mighty relieved.

Hi & welcome Debbie

It is a worry isn't it!!

Sending lots of positive vibes, I hope she's ok.

For those that remember my thread on the old forum, Tig had his last dose of Epilepsy medication last night and for the first time in just over 2 years his food was free of medication this morning. My feeling is that he's going to do ok but it's always a worry. Please keep your paws crossed that he ...

Keeping everything crossed for Thursday.

Aww Happy Birthday you gorgeous girls!

How's Peaches doing today Helen?

Yes after vaccinations, one of mine in particular seems to be knocked for six after them. Very lethargic, sleeping lots and not wanting fusses. Give her 24-26 hours and she'll hopefully be back to normal.

Oh no

Your poor girl, I hope she's feeling a bit brighter today but she's probably going to ache like mad for a couple of days, thank goodness you found her.

Gentle fusses from me, hope Daz is holding up ok with his girl off colour xx

Yep this has happened to me too!! Took me ages to figure it out!

Wow what an amazing job you've done with this beautiful chap, well done for taking him on :) Have you talked to your vet about other brands that are available that he might find more palatable? Most vets have agreements with pet food manufacturers so they'll always push those brands but there are pr...

Oh that's worth knowing, I sometimes use the small pouches for Tig's extra meal in the evening.

I also agree, a couple of mine will come back inside to use the tray (I also have an outdoor litter tray) and it's a good gauge of health problems (upset tummies and cystitis to name just two).

If Tig doesn't like the particular brand of cat food on offer he'll turn his nose up at his bowl in the kitchen and go and sit on the coffee table, if I then put his food on the coffee table he'll eat it! If I get anything out of the fridge that's wrapped in Clingfilm Hector and Pip come running and...

I think it was on the whole range. I bought chunks in gravy and they were included.

And also check the batteries in your Loc8tors regularly!!

PAH have Felix at £9 for 3 boxes.

I just thought it worth reiterating the importance of choosing a safety collar over a buckle collar. For only the second time since I rescued her Noodle didn't come in as usual last night, at this time of year her evening patrol only lasts 30 minutes then she's waiting at the back door to come in. L...

Have you tried Butchers Classic? It's cereal free so good for sensitive tummies, you can buy it in most supermarkets (6 cans of either meat or fish flavours) and it's cheap.

I was in a similar situation a few years ago when new neighbours moved in with two dogs. Although my girl is much younger she avoided and still avoids their garden, I don't think she'd risk it. I think you're right to be worried given your older lads health problems and do think you should chat with...

I forgot about Hector's prescription diet!!!

Although I don't use it for anxiety Hector does have Piriton everyday with no adverse reactions.

I know the feeling! Hector - Prednisalone, Ronaxan and Piriton everyday, Interferon every other day. Cream on sore nose and eye drops when needed. Tig - Epiphen twice a day, although hopefully not for much longer! Noodle - Cystophan when needed although luckily she hasn't needed it for a while I thi...

Hi Lorraine

There's some good advice on here about how to introduce a new cat to your home: http://www.catchat.org/bonding.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;.

Good luck!

I know two of my four. Pip I've had since she was 6 weeks old and Tig was with a foster mum from birth until he was 7 months old. Hector and Noodle were both strays and around a year old. Both very friendly so had obviously had a home or human contact at some point in their lives but neither were ne...

What a great idea
