This was the scene when I went to bed last night. Oscar, former feral/stray enjoying the creature comforts of the pillow behind mine. It's heartwarming that this is where he chooses to sleep. Kira, facing the air-con unit and Shadow sleeping up on the prized possession - my old fleece...

I've got 8 indoor cats so insurance for 8 would be prohibitive. Any vet treatment they've needed, I've paid for out of my own pocket. Not only that but there are a lot of insurance companies who have so many "get out" clauses, it's often a waste of money. I have excellent vets I've been with...

Won't be happening now. Contacted my ex-neighbour to make arrangements to meet the cat only to find he was put to the Blue Cross which is a large rescue earlier today. They are one rescue I refuse to have anything to do with after being insulted a few years back by one of their staff. They...

...to adopt another cat. I mentioned briefly on another post my ex-neighbour who started her own cattery. She also takes in rescues. About 6 weeks ago she trapped a black cat. He was very spicy, hissy and timid. All of a sudden he decided humans were OK after all and looks like he's going...

I did look at these but they weren't practical as ours is a large range cooker. Apart from that, we keep the cat food in the kitchen and the dry food would have ended all over the floor and we would also have had very fat cats :crackup: The door lock was the simplest solution and works like a...

I'll have to have a look for it. It could be called something different over here. The only living plants I have in the house are a Snake Plant (we call them Mother-in-Law's Tongue), a mini Orchid I got as a Christmas gift from my piano teacher and his wife about 5 years ago, both of these...

Got them all over the house and spray them with Kong catnip spray - strong stuff. All we get are 8 cats high as kites on 'nip :flail: Not sure what silvervine is - not heard of it in the UK. I'm not really bothered because furniture and carpets wear out anyway or we get bored with them...

So very sorry for your loss. You gave her the final and greatest gift you could give her, to release her from her pain even though that decision was heartbreaking for you. She'll live on in your heart and memories.

Yes please. I was tired when I posted it and didn't notice till now the Entry/Not an Entry rule.

Entry Otto as a kitten. "Me? Wreck the Christmas tree? Honest. It was Tigger".

I take a completely different view when introducing a new cat and it's probably one some will disagree with. I have a multi-cat household, anything up to 11 cats although old age has taken it's toll and I now have 8. I've found that the quickest way is just to let the cats themselves sort...

Interesting about leather sofas. Some years ago we had a leather sofa and chairs. Cats never clawed it. My late husband was a big man and literally flattened one of the chairs and part of the sofa. Replaced it with a faux leather sofa about 6 years ago. It wasn't too expensive but now has...

I had the same problem when Oscar (former street cat, now indoor cat) escaped a few weeks back. He point blank refused to come in. We had to trap him. We did have a trap but it was broken so we had to buy a new one. Got one from Amazon for under £50. We finally caught our boy after 4 days...

That sounds very much like territory marking, similar to what Toms do. Female cats sometimes do it too. Did this start after you got the other cats, particularly the youngest cat?

He is lovely. I know it's not an original name but he is grey and white so I suggest Smokey. I notice in quite a few of the pics that he is showing you his belly. That is a sign of complete trust and love :redheartpump: Thank you so much for adopting him.
