    Prayers for Puss

    Thank you all Puss is showing some signs of brightening up but I still have to keep an eye on the small rash on his neck and any other symptoms that may arrise. As well as the antibiotic paste, he's also been given Transfer Factor Plus, which I think is going to be very good for him Here are...

    Prayers for Puss

    My beautiful nearly 17 year old male cat Puss is showing the first signs of symptomatic FIV. He's been FIV+ for about 10 years but has been asymptomatic until recently. A visit to the Vets today showed that he had some nasal irritation (he's had some sneezing bouts lately) and more ominously a...

    How do you convince someone that it's really time to let go

    Thanks Hissy, the idea of having Cleo put to sleep at home is a good one, unfortunately my Dad will not accept the idea regardless of where it is done. 16 years ago my beautiful big male cat Thomas, who my dad was also extremely attached to, had to be put to sleep. He had gotten sick and by the...

    How do you convince someone that it's really time to let go

    My parents have a beautiful 16 year old fluffy little black and white cat called Cleo. My Dad is especially attached to her, he is her "most precious baby in the whole world". I understand my Dad loves her, but this cat is in such poor condition it's heartbreaking to see. She has had a heart...

    When one goes to the cat shelter...

    WellingtonCats - We have the RSPCA and Animal Welfare League here but they don't have a no kill policy. We do have the only TNR program in Australia though which is obviously a good thing, a group called Cats Assistance To Sterilise (C.A.T.S) traps and neuters feral cat colonies for release and...

    When one goes to the cat shelter...

    I will absolutely not go anywhere near the local cat shelters, I simply cannot stand to see so many kitties looking for homes and knowing that unless I take them if they don't find homes they will be destroyed. Unfortunately in South Australia, where I'm from, there are no "no kill" shelters...

    Bandit and Will 'o' the Whisp - a lesson in patience

    Thought I'd share with you all the story of the 2 Feral cats I have had the pleasure of being involved in the socialising of directly and indirectly Bandit - Mid 1980's "What's that ball of fluff doing on the lawn" my mum exclaimed looking out the window one day, then the ball of fluff moved...

    Hope for taming my ferral kitty...

    It is more than possible to socialise a feral cat. You will never completely tame them, not to the point that they became cuddly house cat (if it is a true feral and not just a stray) but with a lot of patience and gentle persistence it is possible to be able to pat them and give them lots of...
