He's been checked out by the vet several times. He got wormed in June, so he is due for another one, but it doesn't seem to help anyway. There's no sign of worms in his poo, and it's not 'abnormal' in its form. The vets have said he's 'just mucky'. They said he's probably an inbred so he's...

That's what we do. Otherwise he'd be leaving poo everywhere! We shut him in the kitchen unless we're there, in which case we sometimes have him on our knee in the lounge.

I have to bathe Oscar quite often. I used to hop in the shower with him, but he started climbing the sliding glass doors...so now I just give him a rub down in the bath. He hates it. He gets so mad at me, claws at everything he get near and yowls until I lift him out, then he latches onto my...

My cat was outdoors most of the summer, and we brought him in a few weeks ago cos it's too cold for him now. He usually attempts to use the litter tray but frequently misses. The day before yesterday I cleaned up after him 6 times. I have no clue what the problem is. He uses his tray once, then...

Hi Siren! I agree with the others - definitely wait til he's neutered and had all of his shots. And also wait until he's confident on his feet etc - at 13 weeks he's a little young I think, perhaps wait til he's 6 months old when you know he's big enough to not get lost as easily (kittens so...

Did do, yes. I believe that Oscar was also the runt of the litter, and wonder whether all his brain cells are intact! He falls over things, trips over things, instead of jumping he just kind of throws himself and hopes for the best. He's cross eyed, he has a soft palate AND a muffled heart...

Oh it's a bleak state of affairs when the neighbour won't let you look out for your own animal because he's so terrified you'll SUE him for falling off your own ladder trying to rescue your own cat. I understand where he's coming from, but isn't it ridiculous? Let the blood run - yes, they...

It's gone midnight and we spent the last half hour negotiating Oscar out of a tree. We pulled into the driveway and I got out of the car, hearing him from across a pretty big grass area. I thought he sounded a bit enthusiastic, but my bf was saying 'it's not Oscar'. I KNEW it was him, and I KNEW...

hmm. I don't think it was because he was happy. He seemed positively annoyed and his back was twitching, like I've seen cats do when they are spraying. Like I said, he'd just got out the bath, so maybe he thought he needed to pee cos I hadn't dried his backside properly?

She will be back in good time. A few days is nothing for cat to wander. Oscar has gone walkabout for 4-5 days. I was very upset, but I did not blame myself. I know everyone's telling you off for letting little Belle out, but you did no wrong. If you have the space to do so, why waste it? Perhaps...

Oscar had a bath today, as much as it upset him. I gave his bum a wipe at the same time, cos he gets a bit mucky I was gentle. Anyway, I took him downstairs and I saw him going through the motions of spraying four or five times in the space of 10 minutes. I checked and the floor/wall he was...

it wasn't a personal attack - if you look, there was another response after yours which said the same thing. It wasn't like I was saying you were wrong was it? It just gets really old when people make out you're being irresponsible for allowing your cats outside! ESPECIALLY when it appears to be...

Oscar goes outside daily. He is out a significant amount of the time at the moment cos it's so warm. He does catch things, we take it off him when we spot him with something, but obviously we can't see him 24/7. He had a worming tablet at the vet about 3 weeks ago, she said to go back in 2-3...

You might want to have a look round to make sure he hasn't been going to the toilet in corners etc. It would be perfectly reasonable of him to go elsewhere if his litter box is full.

She'll do just fine. I had a cat called Mr Binks who had 3 legs. He got attacked by a fox. Anyway, even after he got it removed he could run like a bat out of hell! The only thing was that he sometimes forgot he only had one back leg and used to try and scratch his ear with a stump, bless him...
