well, in my house our cats are completely beloved, but us humans are the boss. Yes they need to establish who's higher than who but if you dont think the chasing and swatting behaviour is acceptable to can stop it with a little hiss and a light tap on the side of the neck. Our cats are 12 and...

Hi folks Well, he got the all-clear from the vet and is eating again. I didnt see the messages re blood tests for all the senior cat issues til now Hmm. But our vet is usually really good. He took Syd's tempertaure, had a good ol feel around, checked his teeth, looked at what worm pills we...

Hi everybody Ive got 2 cats, both getting on (12 and 13). One, Sophie, is doing ok, its winter and she doesnt have to deal with harvest mite allergy, so she's all fat n fuzzy. She had tick bite fever which turned into cat aids but she's in amazing health considering. The other, Sydney, our...

Hi everyone Just an update. Today was Sophie's last day of medication (we are all releived about that!) and she is soooo much better! she still has wobbly back legs (part of the tick thing) but she is cheeky again and much more herself. She is still a little too obsessed with her dinner, and...

Hi I've met ringworm and few times and unfortunately have more of a reaction to the ointments than I do to the parasite. Instead, I use a home remedy. I get some petals from a marigold (calendula) and mush them up with an oil like evening primrose pil or some aloe vera and then put the goop on...

Thanks everybody! She's feeling much better and can't seem to eat enough now. I'm having to remind her of her waterbowl, but she is drinking too. Now I just have to get her medicine down her each morning. I used to grind up her pills and mix them with a bit of vegemite (she luuuurves that...

Hi everybody OK, results are in and its tick fever. Gulp. She's had the necessary shots and luckily I had actually been doing all the things I needed to do, so there's a blessing! And bless you all for encouraging me to get over my own fears and get her down the doc's! Now she feels nauseous...

No news from Monsieur Vet as yet. She had a really good day yesterday, she ate nearly a whole dinner and followed me around, but I'm wondering if she 'overdid it' as today she's uninterested in everything excpet sleeping in the sun. She doesnt seem to be in pain now, her third eyelid is normal...

Hi everybody. Ok, we're back. After I signed off last night I ran over to my delightful neighbour and he took me and Sophie to the vet he uses for his dogs, who opens at 830am. We were there in 15 minutes!\\ Why doesn't this guy advertise!!!! Anyway, lovely neighbour spoke the french for me (I...

Right. That's it. Youre all right, of course. I won't let my fear of hurting her hold her back. I've called the vet's and left a message (its 10pm here) to expect me tomorrow. I'll meditate over Soph tonight for safe travel things and drive her there tomorrow. Oh I hope I'm doing the right...

Hi My chivralrous companion does cool things - being in France it's pretty common over here. Women never pour their own wine, nor peel their fruit (!). When we eat out I tell him what I want and then he orders for me. That was strange at first but Ok now! You have doors opened for you, but so...

Oh, oh OH if I honestly thought it would help her I would drive all night to get her to one. Incidentally the nearest vet three hours away - but it's not me I'm concerned about. Last time I took her she went completely bonkers and did herself some injuries trying to get out of her carrier. She...

You can help your poor puddy settle down by sending him thoughts that the special cat doctors are trying to help him. Send him out mental pats and cuddles, tell him to trust you, you'd never leave him there if it wasn't for the best. he'd know that anyway, but we all love reassurance. Then...

Subject: Very poorly cat Hi My cat, Sophie, is 11. We donâ€8482t think that is so old as we have had one live until 21 in seemingly good health. But poor Sophie is really poorly. If she was a human Iâ€8482d say sheâ€8482s got Real Flu. Symptoms: (I have personified and anthropomorphised a...
