Re: Flat food dishes
That makes it even easier to spread the food all over the surrounding area, and my two already manage to drag/spread it over a wide area from a dish with sides!

Greenkitty - if you look back to the thread 'Second foster home found' you'll find that Helen posted a photo of Baxter there, last Tuesday.

Re: Cheap LED urine finder torch
My torch has arrived, from China as expected. It's VERY flimsy, but was well packed to withstand its long journey. I've not tested it yet to try to locate any possible spraying - will try when it's a bit darker.
I can't think that the 99p ones can be any flimsier than this one at £2.59.

Re: Cheap LED urine finder torch
Just got an email to say that the torch I ordered has been despatched, and is due to arrive between the 16th of Sept and the 6th of October - goodness knows where it's coming from if it might take so long! I've had things sent from Hong Kong which have arrived in just a few days.

Hi Mark
I've just ordered this item from Amazon, after reading your post, thanks. I'd not heard of such things before. Do you know if the urine has to be fresh to be detected by these devices?

Re: Poor Dave
Would it be possible to take Dave to your home now, where you'd be with him 4 days a week, and have someone pop in to feed, play and attend to his litter tray on the days you're away at your niece's? That would relieve the stress for Loie and Banshee. It's not ideal for Dave when he'd be new to your...

Hi Jodie
I've just measured mine and it's exactly 11.5" to the top on the inside, a bit more on the outside. It's been used for over 20 years by cats of various sizes without problem, so I don't think you need worry, and it's said that ...Where there's a will, there's a way!

Hi Julie I've had good results, and no problems, with Advantage when one of mine had some fleas. The cheapest I found was from Medicanimal, but at the moment they only seem to have the size for small cats (up to 4kg) presumably the bigger size will soon be back in stock. I also used Indorex (bought ...

Nowadays doctors/nurses use ear thermometers which only need a touch to take our temperature - is this not possible with cats? It would be s...

Looks to be a Ragdoll to me - very similar to the one in my avatar, Tilly, and she's a pedigree Ragdoll - a very friendly, docile, easy going breed and highly recommended!

Re: Need advice on cats scratching carpet!
You could try double-sided sticky tape - a big roll from the DIY store is quite cheap, and cats usually hate the sticky feel of it under their paws. It's colourless, so doesn't show. I've found it very successful in areas where one of mine liked to claw the carpet. It can also be used on sofas, etc ...

Re: Sun cream
I'm not sure about the safety of childrens sun cream when used on bigger areas. I was advised to use it by my vet for my white cat's ears and nose, which are obviously the least furry and most vulnerable areas. Your vet could probably advise about it if you can't get the Pet Screen.

Re: Kitten tipping over water bowl.
I don't know why she does it - possibly just being a boisterous kitten, but I'd suggest that you put her water in a bigger bowl/small bucket which is too heavy to be easily knocked over - obviously not too tall for her to drink from it. Alternatively you could go for a water fountain such as the Cat...
