Filtered coffee - haven't drunk instant for years - almost black (just a couple of drops of skim milk). I make myself a cup of drip filter coffee at 5.30 a.m. each morning before I leave for the gym. Funny thing is, I have to keep one of my cats away from the ground coffee. It seems to be as...

I had my male burmese neutered at 6 months (because I was always given to understand that 6 months was the ideal age). He still sprays inside the house (but there is no smell, thank goodness). My other cat is a spayed female burmese, who sprays outside, which isn't quite so anti-social from a...

It's great to hear from other cat obsessed people. My desk at work has three framed cat photos, my screensavers are always cat related. All my colleagues think I'm crazy. I don't have kids. Never wanted them, and don't regret the decision. Cats are much better.

Well,I wondered if my 4 year old desexed male burmese was the only cat to do this! Apparently not. My cat regularly pees in the shower. My husband says 'he knows that's where the water goes'. He (my husband, not the cat)is very tolerant. And as you say, Anne, it's easier to clean the...

Both my cats (4 and 6 years)do this kneading when they are happy - always with purring as an accompaniment. However, my 4 year old male takes things to extremes - he not only kneads, but tries to suck on anything vaguely resembling a teat (buttons are one of his favourites, as are pieces of...
