    how much work goes into breeding?

    You're right. Sadly for her (maybe) she is probably a pedigree but uncertificated. We recently got her from someone else who said he got her from someone who was breeding pedigrees. We'll never know now so without documentation she might as well be an ordinary moggie. I agree as well about over...

    how much work goes into breeding?

    Hi. My one year old is in heat and she's driving me crazy. We're probably going to get her spayed but I was idly wondering how much trouble kittens are. I feel a bit cruel denying her the right to have babies even though I know spaying is the responsible thing to do. Our hamsters recently had...

    Is she in heat?

    Hi, My indoor cat started looking grumpy yesterday then woke me up at night with incessant mewing. She has slept on and off today but the same incessant mewing continues. It's quite a nasty sound and I can see what people mean when they talk about alley cats. Anyway, is she in heat?

    Hi, I've been using this site to get advice about my cat. However I have another question. My hamsters have just had 3 babies. How much water do they need?

    Found dead dried out looking worm on floor- need worming advice

    I found a dried worm on the floor. It was pink and about two inches long. I'm housebound at the moment so I couldn't have brought the worm in on my shoes. It must have come out of our new one year old cat. I found it shortly after mopping up a pool of her diahrhea (spelling?) I am guessing from...

    2 questions- food and attractive hamsters!

    I'm stuck in the house at the moment so I can't get to the supermarket but I'll go next week and note down what they've got. There's not a huge selection but several I recognise.

    2 questions- food and attractive hamsters!

    1. I think I've managed to keep the cat away from the hamster cage by putting orange peel around the edge. Am I imagining this? 2. What tinned food do you think is best for your cat?

    cat jumping on mosquito net

    I think I should get a cat tree. She hasn't got enough to climb on. She's not been so bad today so maybe it was initial curiosity.

    Are Certain Breeds More Affectionate?

    I've had a very unfriendly male moggie and a very friendly female moggie. I now have quite an unfriendly female Turkish Angora.

    Want to befriend a shy cat

    We have a new Turkish Angora. My boyfriend's groomed her several times and she seems fairly ok with him but still quite shy. I haven't had so much luck and if she was human I'd say that she didn't like me. Any tips?

    Help- Need general cat care advice due to cultural differences

    Thank you :-) It's a relief to know I'm not a negligent cat owner! I don't think they have as many different types of cat food over here as we do in Britain, but I've spotted Whiskas and Sheba. We're introducing her to Whiskas at the moment. It's very interesting looking at the different...

    Help- Need general cat care advice due to cultural differences

    When I had a cat in the UK we only washed her when she was really dirty/had been rolling in muck/had an infestation. We always left her ears alone and never took her temperature. Basically I learnt the if it ain't broke don't fix it method of cat care. All we ever did was take her for yearly...

    Eyes and ears

    We've just acquired a 1 year old Turkish Angora. The previous owner told us that we have to clean her ears with 'Sulfodene Ear cleaner' every 3 days because if they get dirty it could be dangerous. I grew up with a cat and we never cleaned her ears. They were a bit dirty looking sometimes but we...

    cat jumping on mosquito net

    Hi I live in a 5th floor flat in Seoul and our new 1 year old cat keeps trying to climb the mosquito screens across the windows. They're strong enough but I have visions of them giving way one day. What can I do to deter her? I've heard cats don't like lemon. Shall I rub the window area?

    New cat won't eat

    We wondered about doing that. We need to find out about her vaccinations as well. Being in Korea and not speaking Korean I have less control over sorting these things out than I'd like. BTW, I've forgotten what a cat's nose should feel like. How wet or dry should it be?

    New cat won't eat

    Thank you It didn't look much like blood and she had had a busy evening so perhaps it was vomit. I remember my old cat having a spectacular throw up session on my bed once. I'll make sure everything's ready for her tonight.

    New cat won't eat

    Hello, We've just got ourselves a new cat. She's 1 year and 1 month old and a bit shy. I think she'll be ok though as she's already let us groom her and I was able to keep her calm on my lap in the car when we brought her home. The problem is we've had her for 15 hours now and as far as I can...
