I have often wondered about a behaviour that is guaranteed in cats.  If you are reading, they will nudge under your hands to make you stroke them, if that fails, they paw the top of the book and knock it out of your hand, or climb on your shoulder and down your front thus preventing you from...

Lolololol!!!!!!  Well, she is just a baby.  I guess the trick for you will be to teach her now that she won't be rewarded for this behaviour.  Do you have a room in the house in which she can be safely shut in with access to food, water, litter tray and toys?  If she is left alone for a few...

So glad I read these posts.  i thought i was being harsh with Lady as she too has the 4a.m's!!!! I've never had a cat do this before so it was new to me, but, as always, i have treated it as I would a child.  Ignore, don't reward and then it became necessary to shut her downstairs with the run...

ugh!!! they are both just gorgeous, and soooooo cute!!!! The grey is the girl I take it, what a floosie!!! lololol Wonderful videos, thank you for posting!

ho ho ho ho haa haaa haaa!!!  My Lady is soooo funny.  They say you cannot train cats, but I have proved tonight that this is not true.  Lady has been scratting at carpet, so a few days ago I bought her a scratch board (and a toy that squeaks like a bird, think that is more for me than her)...

Hi, yes that's pretty much what I do.  She gets her brekkie while the kettle is boiling for my morning coffee, and then she gets her tea as soon as I get in from work, roughly the same time every day.  And as she is an indoor cat, she really doesn't need much more than that, with her dry food to...

Well, I'll be honest, my cat is evil after all........  earlier I posted that I couldn't find her cos she's black, but after not seeing or hearing her for more than an hour, I did start to wonder where she was.......... I searched the house, under the bed, in all the cupboards (closed but maybe...

Tara, that cat is gorgeous!!!!!  The trouble with black cats is, they are a devil to find when the go hide in the house!  Lady was startled today by my daughter coming in the house, disappeared and now I can't find her.  She hasn't got out, and I can hear her bell tinkle, so I know she's around...

That really is shocking isn't it?  I've never heard of that sort of behaviour re halloween, but crikey!  All the more shocking when I look at my beautiful lady, with her soft green eyes, tiny little face, and so trusting purr and chirrupping when i fuss her.  I'd adopt every black cat in the...

Awwwwh, that cat is gorgeous!  And what's wrong with B/W tuxedos?  They are beautiful................  lady is asleep under my legs as I type this!  

Ha Ha!  Get her on a schedule????  I can barely keep myself to a schedule, and Lady has her own ideas about food!!!!  I have been quite firm on the Dreamies issue though.  If she doesn't eat her proper food she doesn't get dreamies............ a bit like children and sweets!  lolol xx

Hmmm, well I just think that dry food is good in that, i'm out at work all day, if Lady isn't keen on the flavour of moist food that i put down for her, she will nibble on the dry til i come home and give her a fresh sachet, plus, i don't want her eating stale moist food, dodgy!  So I will stick...

I'm sorry to sound harsh, but the bottom line is, you need to save your home, that is your priority.  if the cats were originally feral then they will adapt back to that quite easily, not nice, but sadly, you have to feed yourselves and keep the roof over your heads, if you don't do that then...

Hello all, just a little update.   Bobby has not come back or been found yet.  I do fear for him a bit.  I have tramped the streets yesterday and today calling him, but of course he won't respond to a female voice because he was living solely with a man for the last year.  I found out that he...

Lady will tolerate being picked up for a minute or so, she won't however lie on me or sit on my lap either for long.  I am guessing that her previous human did not encourage this because I have never had a cat that didn't like to lap sit.  Lady does like to lie at my legs on the sofa, and she...
