    How good is a cats memory?

    I may be required to move interstate for 12 months soon. Taking my cat wouldn't be possible, but don't worry, I'm not abandoning her. She'd still be at home with the rest of the family, it's just me that would be moving. Anyway, what are the chances that she would remember me when I got back? 1...

    Photos of my new cat

    Thanks Czari. She's 18 months old, but looks like she's about 6 months old (the pictures don't really do justice). She was there with her 4 year old sister who was even smaller. I wanted to get them both, but that's not really possible. I've still got my old cat as the wallpaper on my mobile...

    Photos of my new cat

    After 3 months since Dylan passed away, I finally decided to get another cat. Went down to the cat home this morning and chose this one after over an hour of looking. She was called Angel by the previous owner, but I don't know if I'll keep that name. I'm going back on Wednesday to pick...

    Collapsed while on his bed

    Thank you to everyone who has replied, you're all too kind. It's nice to know that people care... I'm glad I came here to post about it, I feel a bit better now. I'm sorry to hear about your losses Bugaboo1, catsknowme and Lorie D. It's terrible, isn't it

    Collapsed while on his bed

    aww, look at him in my car The hardest part is the day after it happens. The first thing I saw today was his little water bowl still with water in it, and the empty spot where he used to sit next to the window. My dog is acting weirdly today too (don't worry, there's nothing wrong with...

    Collapsed while on his bed

    Thanks everyone, especially QueenofEgypt. I only got about an hour of sleep last night Apparantly he had a stomach tumor, so it's probably been going on for quite a while. He was acting a bit strangely about a month ago for a few days, if I had've taken him to the vet back then, maybe he'd...

    Collapsed while on his bed

    Thanks Rosie. The house is so empty without him here. Usually at around this time of the day he comes and sits on the chair next to me. I don't even remember what it was like before I got him. He was my only cat ever since I was about 8 years old Edit: Whoops, I think Rosie is actually your...

    Collapsed while on his bed

    Dylan has been acting a bit strangely the last few days, but I didn't expect this at all. He was just lying on his bed like usual, then all of a sudden he stood up and started meowing frantically. That went on for a few minutes, then he started panting heavily and his eyes glazed over and...

    Caring for cat after surgery

    I wouldn't be able to lock him in a room and leave him there. He's really sad as it is, he just sits in the middle of the room for hours on end staring into space. Even if I walk up and sit next to him, he doesn't even look over at me. During the night he walks around crying and knocking on the...

    Caring for cat after surgery

    Thanks for the replies. I might just leave it and see how it goes then, he's booked in to the vet again in 5 days. It's just not very nice getting up in the morning and seeing the collar almost red from the blood. As I said before, I haven't had a ny sort of pet which has been injured like this...

    Caring for cat after surgery

    Spoonty (11 yo.) was bitten by another cat on his face a few days ago which got infected very quickly and had to go in for major surgery, getting a lot of his face cut off. He has a drain pipe coming out the side of his head and one of those big plastic collars around his neck to stop him...
