Keep an eye on it - it may be nothing and clear up on its own. When my young kitten had diorreah, my vet told me to starve her for 24 hours (with just water) If that didnt work (and it didnt) try feeding cooked Coley fish (bland fish found in the freezer section of a supermarket) and boiled...

I have exactly the same thing with my 7 month old, Munchie. She sleeps on the bed or in her radiator hammock at the bottom of the bed all night, until about 5.30am when she decides to use our new bed as a scratching post. Then she comes and purrs in our ear and sucks her teddy really loudly (I...

Hiya, I am presuming that Mikuk is writing from Staffordshire, UK. I think that there is quite a big difference in thinking between England and the USA / Canada. Over here in England, letting our cats outside is much more common. Yes, there is always the danger of the road, but in general, the...

I think its a good idea he goes back to the vets too. Otherwise you worry when the onus is on you to know how he's doing and whether hes getting everything he needs. Its the best place for a poorly kitty. Poor boy - can you visit him? Keep us posted!

This is awful!! Is it really possible where you are that the vet is lying? Why would they do that - to get your money? Are you able to take your cat anywhere else? Thats what I would do - even if its miles away. You'd only have to go once presumably. If it did need treating then you could go...

Thanks everyone! The vet rang and said he didnt think he needed to see her before Wednesday (she was booked in for then anyway). He thinks its just a reaction to the stitches. I was relieved but then when I went home and had another look, I just can't believe that is what it could be. It looks...

Hiya, My 7 month old kitten Munchie went in for her spay last week. They did it on her tummy (underneath her) as opposed to on her side as we had a French vet and I think thats how they do it - dont know about USA. She pulled her stitches out in about 2 hours so we had to take her back and...

Does anyone know any UK based websites or places to buy Feliway any cheaper? From the vets its expensive!! I guess I need a British plug one too.

My kitten used to do this and it used to really hurt as she has really sharp claws!! So I weaned her off me and on to a teddy next to me - but I'm worried the fibers might come out and end up stuck in her tummy. Do you think thats possible??

Where do you think the ball of thread came from? My kitten kneads and sucks on one of my teddies (only at bedtime) and I worry about fibers coming off it and her swallowing them. Do you think I should stop her?

What is the surgery for? I also have a 6 month old kitten who started to go off her food. I took her to the vets who said her abdomen was tense and asked if she was tolieting ok. I said she wasnt going as often as she used to (it used to be every night like clockwork). He gave her an enema...

Any news on Mamba today? I'm so sorry - this sounds awful. I hope she pulls through. Can they not test for Rabies (sorry if this is a thick question but we dont have Rabies in the UK)?

Thanks Hissy. The only thing is, I've never heard of these oils. Also what is pedialyte? I wonder if we call these things something different in the UK? Sorry!!

Hi I took my 6 month old kitten to the vets 2 days ago as she had been slowly going off her food and being subdued and then she stopped eating for 24 hours altogether. The vet said she had a temperature but couldn't find anything specifically wrong - although commented her abdomen was tense...

So does this mean that a cat on its back is never being submissive? How would you know the difference?! My kitten used to do this with my adult cat, Charlie. Charlie didn't really like my kitten although they were just starting to get along when Charlie was horribly killed. I will always...
