Hi there, I hope your new kitty is doing well, how kind you are to have taken her in despite your boyfriend's protests. She is a very pretty cat.
At university today I had a lecture from the professor of parasitology about toxoplasmosis, and I thought of your situation. Apparently cats have...
Hi Randox, that is a very pretty silver tabby you have there. Without pedigree papers that document the cat's ancestry it is very hard to say for sure if a cat is a 100% purebred or not. Where has this cat come from?
Hi there first of all good luck with Frankie.
My mum's cat got hit by a car some time ago, he also suffered very bad nerve damage and could not empty his bladder on his own. Unfortunately he had to be put to sleep for this reason. I think he was in a worse condition than Frankie though. It is a...
Thanks for the compliments towards my cats
I think Leo looks slighly different in the photo because of the angle he is looking up at the camera - it's shortened his face slightly. He is actually a lilac point and is fairly pale in real life. I'm not sure how you'd term my two that's why i...
Just thought i'd add a picture of my Topaz - she is 'between' modern and traditional.
And her brother, Leo:
I also love the very refined modern look. I have just been to a cat show here in the UK and the modern Siamese are simply stunning!
Oh i really hope it all works out for you. You cousin making the journey to pick up the kitten sounds promising though. It must be awful to feel like everything's up in the air at the moment! The MC's really are slow to mature though, as you can see in my sig we have one, he is 9 months now. We...
I would never feed them completely on dry, it's totally unnatural and unhealthy for a cat (or a person for that matter - imagine eating noting but cereal and crisps for your whole life!)
I get the Maine Coon Royal Canin biscuits from PaH, which they have all always enjoyed until just recently, which is most annoying as it's one of the best ones you can buy. Don't know why they have gone off it. I have just tried them on James Wellbeloved kitten which they liked for the first...
I have never heard of bozita before, nor the website it is sold on! That's a good food is it? My lot are so fussy at the moment, i'm not sure what to try them on next.
If you are looking to rehome a rescue cat, it may be worth considering the age of the cat, as well as the breed. If you were to get an older cat, the chances are it will be less active and therefore less likely to want to run around outside.
I had to give Leo antibiotic tablets twice daily when he managed to cut his paw pad open. It was extremely easy, as the pills were small and slim, i could split open one of his favourite cat treats and slip the pill inside, squash it together, present it to him and he would just gobble it down...
I'm just curious as to what other brands of food UK members feed their cats. The most comprehensive pet store near me is Pets at Home and the best food they supply is Royal Canin biscuits and Nature's Menu pouches. Apart from that, choice is pretty limited... So do other owners shop online...
Well how insulting of that lady to attempt to haggle the price with you. What did she think she was buying, a used car???!! Just unbelievable. It's that "can i get something for nothing" attitude, isn't it. It seems from your first post that things were going ok with her until the price was...
Oh so sorry to hear about your little budgie! It's horrible when birds die, you realise how delicate and fragile they are.
I'm sure you'll think of a great name for your kitten. Is it the registered name you're choosing as well as the pet name? It's even more difficult if you have to think of...
Epona, i'm pleased for you that everything went well with the visit to the breeder. Is it a blue siamese or oriental kitten? I love both breeds, they are adorable!
Re names. If i was to name a male kitten right now, i would choose Maximus ( I got the Gladiator extended edition for Christmas...
Celestialrags, i think there aren't many excuses not to show here in the UK as we live in a pretty small place compared to the US and it is crammed full of cat shows all year round! Geography must play the largest part of it in your case, and that I can understand.
Epona - is it a London...
I have heard of the author, i think there may have been something about her once on the Siamese Planet website or one of the forums. The books sound fantastic! How many pages are the books, are they quite short?
Have you ever visited a breeder before? If you have, you'll know immediately if they're a good breeder. Environment should be clean, kittens should be happy and healthy, the breeder should ask you a lot of questions to make sure you are an acceptible buyer of one of their precious kittens! This...
