Re: Very nervous cat!!

I agree with the others, this poor lass has been through an awful lot, and is very confused and frightened. If she has found somewhere in your house that helps her feel safe, don't block it off, as you'll only stress her more. Let her do things at her own pace - she needs time to learn that you are ...

Re: cats and TB

Like the rest of you, my heart just sank when I saw this hit the news, and I was completely unsurprised to see it on the front page of the Daily Mail this morning. That paper really is a panic-mongering rag. Interestingly, one of the other tabloids ran a front page article about Dogs and TB today as...

Re: Kitten covered in cradle cap

Given his age, and very poor start in life, he definitely needs to see a vet as soon as possible. Kittens this young are very fragile and can crash very suddenly, and he needs all the help he can get after such an awful start. Please, please get him to a vet asap.

Re: Seperation Anxiety

Hi, and welcome to Catchat. As it's been a long time since you lost your ladypuss, I suspect your lad has adjusted to this by now. However, I think you're right that he's not coping with sharing his territory with so many other cats. Can they get into the house? I can understand why he would find th...

Re: Brother Deceased

I'm so sorry to hear about your loss. I'm sure his brother will get over it, but it will take a while, and giving him extra attention but keeping his routines the same will help. If other cats in the area have been dying under similar circumstances, I hate to say it but it may be that someone delibe...

Re: Roughly how much do you think it costs to 'keep' a cat .

One small cat - Food about £25 (I did say she was small), Drugs (fortekor, vidalta, istin, ipakitine and metacam) about £70 per month, Litter £44 (she will only poop in the best), No insurance (no one would touch her!), Total around £140 per month, YIKES!! This is excluding vet bills (Probably aroun...

Re: Litter tray issues

I know many cats who, despite having 24 hour outdoor access, will always use an indoor tray. Cats will only toilet where they feel safe, and the fact that one of your cats prefers to use the tray indoors suggests that there is something outside that worries them, which you can't control. The kindest...
