​Sugar was MIA for hours on Wednesday. She got home on her own but in the mean time the vet thinks she's been clipped by a car. She had dried saliva on her side but no sign of a fight or mauling.   All the vet can do is give her pain killers. Does anyone anything further to add? I can't stop...

Should I use the bath tub or the sink? How do I hold them with one hand while washing with the other. Is there a special way to do long hairs? How often should I bath them? Sugar is short hair and full grown and Spike is long hair and 8 months but bigger than her. Can someone recommend a good...

G'day. We're coming into summer down here and most days are at least 30 degrees (86 F). Last week it was 34 one day and 36 degrees the next (92 and 100 F). This is normal for the rest of summer going into autumn. Another worry is that it'll be tick season when the wet starts. The only time the...

This is the beginning of one of the first moth hunting lessons when he was about 3-4 months. The light has been turned on and they're waiting for a moth to turn up. She seems to be saying "I'll go first and show you how." Yeah well that didn't happen. I reckon he's saying "I'm telling you...

I haven't been on for a while. Mum's sick. However in that time Spike, Sugar's nemesis, has been growing from a skinny little DSH to DMH and is now 7 months old.

I took Sugar for her annual check up yesterday. I asked him what I could do about her nervousness, told him about how it got worse after Spice arrived etc. He had thought she would improve after she was spayed but not so. He gave me a regimen that I thought I would share with others who may...

She has always seemed a bit clumsy which was cute. She runs into things when she's doing an around the house gallop. When we're playing fetch, and this is when it's most noticeable, she can't find her elephant unless she's watching where I throw. If it turns out she has lousy eyesight, any hints...

We got Spike at 12 weeks from the shelter. He's so lovely. He sounds more like a bird than a cat, only meows if he's upset. Second picture is at 18 weeks. My, don't they grow up quickly.

From previous posts you may remember that Sugar has never really accepted her buddy Spike and she probably won't. I've read so many of the articles and for others who have problems with introducing a newbie I recommend them. The turning point for us was giving Sugar, a nervous, jealous Siamese...

G'day Sugar is my 15 month old Siamese. Just this arvo we noticed this mark on her ear. It's very sore and red which you can see if you look at it from underneath into the light. I won't go into the contortions that went into that little effort. Suffice it to say I wasn't able to take a photo...

G'day Both Sugar and Spike have age appropriate dry tucker down for them all day. That is mostly all Spike, 5 months, will eat. Last night I put down some cooked lamb kidneys and they both loved it. This is a bit of a coup because Sugar's a fussy eater now. Because kidney is so rich I wondered...

He's grown so big so fast and he's getting a lot more silvery long fine hair underneath on his stomach and chest and under his tail. His back is shiny black with a silver/grey tuft behind each ear. The ear tufts have been there since we got him at 12 weeks. He's got a very long tail and bloody...

G'day Spike (male) is ready to get desexed soon. I want to make sure that either my son or I will be home so I will have to make sure that our rosters suit. If it's more than 4 days I'll have to organise things at work. Do you think that'll be long enough?

Thanks to the articles and forums, Sugar (resident) and Spike the newbie are getting along fine and now play together. I have set up 3 litter trays and 3 food areas for the two of them but he wants hers. There is always plenty of kibble in the 3 food stations and I notice she will eat from all 3...

I am so glad I ran into this site. It is so interesting and informative and people friendly. For a while I just poked my nose into a bit of everything, forums and the pictures. Wow!  In fact I would have done this before but I kept finding things relative to me and the mob. I intend to read...

I went to the refuge to get a mate for Sugar, my 14 month old Siamese to play with. Spike was 12 weeks old and black all over except for a silver tuft behind each ear when I got him. I reckon he's medium length so far. Within a month his chest grew silver through it and his tail is black on top...
