Funny you saying that about white cats often being deaf... I adopted a mother cat (she had her litter hidden in the wilds somewhere, I discovered later when she brought the home!) White and Torteshell  who is actually deaf. I thought at first she was ignoring us, as she just nipped in and out...

He will be magnificent!!! I have seen some pretty impressive Red Tabbies, males usually, more like big armfuls than hand fulls, that must weigh 10 kilos or more. He'll grow into his paws and tail, just like young teenagers grow less lanky, he just needs time, and you'll have a beautiful big boy...

I was on the site this time for the same problem with one of my cats, Panther. He started losing his fur in the Spring, on his tummy and thighs. At the time I'd used 1/ A new anti flea and tick product. 2/ His mum (although he is adult, they spent lots of time together) had disappeared, and...

I had cat behavior problems, as I seem to have the (ENORMOUS quantity!) abandonned cats in the tiny village where I live come to seek food and shelter. However some, fat and cared for, were very agressive towards spayed females...Here people tend to move, but leave the cat behind like unwanted...

Is it true that cats get affectionate when pregnant ??? I hope so, as it means my timid little female isn't maybe pregnant yet...

I had this skinny cat that came into the house and ate the dog food. She obviously had kittens, as she had milk of varying amounts. I started giving her cat food in another room. My 2 dogs are a bit possesive about their food. She fattened, and became more friendly, then, after a few weeks she...

I have 5 cats in my care, 3 who are friendly hous/outdoor cats, but als 2 kittens, born outside who lost their mum at 2 or 3 months (she was killed by a big bad tom!), and I can't even touch them, even though they eat in the house. I need to catch the female, at nearly 6 months, to get her...

It is, I must agree with you, very difficult to catch a frightened kitten, speaking from experience. I was lucky with the first generation, as mum was an abandoned, who first came stealing the dogs' food, with her kittens hidden outside, then, as I fed her and she'd been domestic before, she...

I have 5 outdoor or indoor cats, as they want, but there is a cat from some where else who, apart from being enormous, attacks some of mine, and badly bit the throat of one female, spayed, but another spayed was so badly attacked she died, after having run  off. I couldn't find her, and when I...

It's so hard for us who love our animals, whos' lives are much shorter than ours, when we have to say the final goodbye. Each friend we loose along our lives is another piece of heart break. But we love them, and give them all the comfort we can while they are with us. They give us so much...

It's hard at the end, their lives are so much shorter than ours. But the love and laughter, and trust and comfort they give us makes the sorrow of parting worth while.

I tried to put collars on my cats, at least the 3 who are really tamed and friendly now, but they took it very badly, so I gave up. As well Kit, the mama cat, got mauled on the throat by a big bad tom, after I got her spayed, and hates being touched there, even though it's healed for quite a few...

There's a tom cat who comes in my garden. He badly bit one spayed cat, but at the throat, and she survived. One other cat who'd just been spayed got out, he attacked her, she ran off, and I found her 5 days later, dead. I throw water at him, and my 2 little dogs bark and run after him. I can't...

It is such a shock to lose a pet suddenly like that. Or to lose a pet in any manner. They give their love to us freely, and ask nothing in return. Bella was lucky to have had you to share her love with. xxx I hope you feel at peace soon, as Bella is at peace over the Rainbow Bridge, with my...

I still have a pinch in my heart when I think of all the dogs and cats I've loved and lost over my 55 years. But I also think of the fun, the shared love, the trust that was always there, between us. I'll be thinking of you.
