    Help with diarrhea and a dirty bottom?

    I just want to say, 'keep going'. My kitten came to me with loose stools just like yours. I treated her as the vet advised for nearley two months and was fed up of locking her in a tiny room when I was at work and chasing her round to clean her bum on an evening. In the end I put her onto three...

    Loose Stools, even after being on meds. Questions; Suggestions needed!

    Another vote for Royal Canin Sensible here. Really worked for my poor cat when the meds and everything didn't.

    Urban Myth? Papa Visits His Kittens

    I suppose the dad cat coming back for the mum in heat after kittens would explain the old wives tale of dad cats visiting kittens. However, since my cat is spayed, there must be another explanation - even if it is just plain cat randomness! I'm going to put a collar on the suspected dad cat to...

    Neutering a Neighbour's Pet?

    I'll pop a collar on him with details of a low cost neuter clinic near me and my telephone number in case I'm totally wrong about him being a tom. Great suggestions!

    Neutering a Neighbour's Pet?

    I adopted a six month old stray back in November and as she's grown I think she looks more and more like another cat I see down my street - possibly her parent (I have a thread in Kittens about dad cats visiting their kittens). Now this cat looks like a pet, well fed, quite shiny - except he...

    Urban Myth? Papa Visits His Kittens

    For all the grand-meowmys! Did a strange cat hang around your house after the kittens were born? I'm sure I've heard something about dad cats coming back to visit their kittens but I don't know if this is an old wives tales or what! I ask because I found a stray girl at six months, she just...

    Cat has eating disorder maybe :x

    When was the last time he was wormed? They don't always worm cats when they leave a shelter and worms do make a cat very hungry. As for him licking the gravy off, its a quirky thing, some cats do and some don't. The same goes for 'fibbing' about not being fed to other members of the family...

    Sheba Premium Cuts as only food?

    Have you tried the feline fayre range? They have a complete cat food which they sell in three little cans for £1.49 in Asda. They also have complementary foods as well and Hi-Life doesn't cause tummy upsets but its complementary as well (and my cat doesn'r seem to like it).

    Administering pills nightmare

    Have you thought about zipping the cat up in a sports bag, leaving her head out? Years ago I had a cat who was a terror to tablet (even the vet couldn't do it and proclaimed her 'the second most evil cat I ever met!') and this really helped as razor sharp paws always slipped out of the towel. It...

    Not cleaning themselves?

    What are their poos like? My nine month old did have this problem but it was down to loose poos. She still has an unusual way of going to the toilet but now I've switched to grain free foods there's been no poo anywhere. Could it be their diet? My cat is a messy one who doesn't groom herself...

    Cat Keeps Sitting in Litter

    Hello - what a friendly site! She's a good girl and drinks very regularily (maybe twice a day, just a couple of laps). She started on the meds the week I got her, this is how its progressed week by week. I kept her on the precription food to see if her tummy could settle down with some time...

    Cat Keeps Sitting in Litter

    I took in a stray two months ago and she's now six months. Since I got her she's had terrible diarrehea and would sit in her poos after she did them. Obviously she got poo and litter all over her fur and this had to be removed with tissues and baths (lots of fun!). Sitting in the poo is...
