I really feel like I have landed on my feet (just like a kitty!) We adopted this mum and her son almost 2 weeks ago now. They are just the best. The mum is cuddly, so well trained with litter and using a scratching post instead of the furniture, and just generally has the sweetest temperament...

Hi all This time last week I would not have expected to be in this situation! I adopted a cat and her kitten from a local rescue - I agreed a pick up of yesterday after we went through everything on Friday. However on Friday evening my poor elderly neighbours were taken to hospital and their...

Hi. I haven't posted on this site in years but I thought of this community in my grief. My boy who would have been 16 in April had to be put to sleep on Tuesday. I am in so much pain; I never thought it would be this hard. All I want to do is lie down and cry, but I have to stay strong for my...

Hi folks I just wanted to ask for some advice on how to make the big adjustment when I have my first baby in (hopefully) 2 months. Harry is a spoiled cat; I'll be the first to admit that. He has been my only baby for quite a while. He is extremely attention seeking; as soon as I come in the...

My cat was put on Ovarid for a skin condition and while it looks to be clearing up, his appetite has gone through the roof and he is constantly crying and annoying me looking for food. I've also noticed that the weird white skin part in his eye (that usually I'll only see if he's half asleep)...

Harry came in 2 days ago unable to put any weight through his left front paw. I brought him to the vets that evening (it's just a small walk-in clinic; the main clinic is 20 miles away). She couldn't really assess him properly as he kept trying to bite her. She seemed a bit inexperienced to be...

I'm just looking for a bit of insight and advice......... Harry came back from a week at the cattery last week and for the first few days he was fine. Eating normally, affectionate and going between in and outside without any bother. The past 3 days he hasn't eaten much. All I could get him to...

OMG the baby cheetahs are soooooo gorgeous!! I just find all of the big cats fascinating. I was watching another programme about tigers and they would kill other cats in their territory but never eat them because they won't eat carnivores.

I know people are going to disagree with me for letting my cat outside before I even start but I'm currently freaking out. Please give me some advice! Harry is allowed as much inside access as he wants. Unfortunately he would much rather be outdoors and I have given him that grace. He can roam...

I'm posting on behalf of my friend as she is very upset right now. She has a 4 year old female spayed cat who has always been quite wild. She has always been allowed in and out of the house. She has very long fur and my friend groomed her regularly. HOWEVER my friend had a baby daughter 8...

Hi all Harry is now 16 months old. In the past couple of months he has started hissing a lot at us. He only really hisses at me if I try to pick him up when he doesn't want to be picked up, but he hisses at my boyfriend even if he stands near him. I can't see any reason for this behaviour. He...

I was just wondering if anyone has any tips to stop the local cats from digging up our new flower bed. A couple of them have already had a good dig around and haved pooed as well. Thanks in advance.

I was just telling my fiance about the way that as a cat mother/owner you're known as a meowny. What about a cat father? He wants to know what his title is!!!!!

We got it during the week and it's soooooo addictive. It's great! You get your steering wheel with it and all. I was rubbish at first but I'm getting a lot better!

I have hardly been here in ages as our laptop went kablooey a few weeks ago. We got a brand new one there a few days ago so I'm fnally back online properly! I've been able to have sneaky checks in work but not much time to post. Yay!!

Harry went out for a couple of hours yesterday evening as he always does, to go to the bathroom and stuff. He came in last night, ate a big dinner and then curled up to sleep at the foot of the bed. I couldn't understand why he wasn't on top of me during the night as he normally is. He got up...

I haven't been online in ages as our laptop broke at home! I actually have a spare few minutes in work and I couldn't resist showing you guys the place we have provisionally booked for May 2009: www.solislougheskecastle.com I was a bit hesitant as it's pricey but doing the maths we can just...

but for those of you who haven't seen it, yet another reason to own and love a furbaby!! http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/health/7304393.stm

This is nothing to do with same sex marriages or anything like that. It's just we're planning our wedding for next year and we need to choose a venue etc. The biggest problem we're having is that we don't want to do the usual church, then photos, then 3 course meal, band followed by DJ with 150...

My friend called round today with her son. He had quite a traumatic birth and was ill for a while post partum but everything seemed to settle down. He was just a week early. He is now 2 and a half and he still doesn't string normal sentences together. He also is quite obsessive about tidying...
