I hope some of you guys can help... 3 weeks ago, my boyfriend went away on business in the States, leaving me here with the 2 cats. He is back tomorrow, but its the first time he's gone away for such a long stretch of time.... I noticed today my eldest cat, Jess, has bald patches on her tummy...

Alfie is coming up to 1 now (time flies!) and he just wont stop eating, so much so I'm worried about him becoming a bit podgey! I put food down for him and Jess and he'll eat his and Jess' and is always crying for more. Jess isnt a massive eater, she eats when she feels like it, but he wolfs it...

My elder cat has wet & dry food mixed together which she loves and then dry food in the evening but my kitten has just wet food for his main food and dry on its own in the evening. I found it made his bum really smelly having wet and dry food together, since I've stopped it, his smells are less...

I took him to the vet today (first time I could get in after the weekend and bank holiday monday) and luckily theres nothing to worry about - its a baby tooth thats been forced out by a big tooth and the vet says that its normal! So nothing to worry about thank god!

Thanks, I will!

Your poor baby.... Its hard when you dont have the cash - I can sympathise with you when money is short, but as others have said, I'm sure your vet will understand and maybe can arrange other types of payment, maybe installments.... Whatever happens, I hope your baby gets better soon, but the...

My 5 month old kitten was playing on our bed biting the duvet, I noticed that where he was biting, there were little specs of blood and noticed one of his teeth has broken off! His mouth is no longer bleeding and he doesnt appear to be in any pain or discomfort, he's just playing and being his...

I got Jess when she was 10 weeks old and I got Alfie when he was 6 weeks. The differences between how they act was immediate, and probably down to Alfie being taken from his mother too quickly and its a mistake I'll never make again. We had problems with him not eating properly after he wasnt...

I cant stop my little Alfie eating his big sisters food! He's now 12 weeks old and I give him a mix of dry and wet kitten food, which he does eat but he loves his sister so much that he follows her everywhere! He'll go to her while shes eating and eat out of her bowl too. Jess also does the...

I free feed both of them - they both get a pouch mixed with dry food but then I do top them up with dry food so they always have something to eat. They only really eat when they're hungry - neither of them are overweight. Plus because I work full time its just easier to place a bowl of fresh...

I have had Alfie for almost 4 weeks now and at first it was a nightmare! Slowly but surely Jess, my eldest cat, is beginning to accept him - they even "hug" occasionally now too which is so sweet to watch as a few weeks ago Jess hated his guts! I mean they arent 100%, they still chase each...

I thought my one year old cat and new kitten were starting to get along..... and its breaking my heart to realise they aren't..... I know its still early days, its only been 3 weeks since we got him and she doesnt arch her back or hiss at him like she used to..... When they do get together...

We got our new kitten a week ago and our older cat is starting to get used to him. At first she would just walk away from him, but now she sort of runs at him and after him and sometimes appears to stalk him. Should I be concerned about this or is it normal older cat behaviour towards kittens...

I posted recently my worries about my little 7 week old kitten Alfie not eating proper kitten food and generally being a bit poorly. Well he went to the vets today for a health check - and I'm pleased to report that although his is slightly smaller than average, he is in excellent health! The...

Thanks everyone for all your lovely replies - Jess sends her purrs! Yeah, I'm in Leicestershire! As I said, no frogs were harmed - we made sure Mr Frog was ok and let him hop away in peace as Jess watched sulkily from behind the patio doors!
