Wow loads of great advice here thank you! All taken on board! As to a natural flea deterrent, a lady in the petshop who also works in a health food shop told me to put the liquid from garlic capsules in the cats food, and residual garlic smell on the cats skin would help keep fleas away! I...

We've recently moved from a semi rural to a rural area, my cat absolutely loves it here, but we have started to find 'little presents' around the house which we are not so fond of! I'm sure the local shrew and vole population aren't too happy either..... Does anyone have any tips for stopping...

Hi, Got my kittens done today, they seem ok, but Blossoms stitches look really long to me, the bits at the end, they are sticking out quite far and I'm worried she is going to pull them out. She is going back to vets day after tomorrow, but do you think I could snip the ends off? Or did the...

Okay I am scared now. Seeing vet on Tues so fingers crossed it would be best if she weren't pregnant and she can be done then, if she is pregnant, well I will have a chat with my vet and take it from there. Thanks for all the advice

Oooh thanks for the reply. She is actually 9 months old now, they were due to be done in Sept but due to unforseen stuff it's only now I can actually get them done. So I have been expecting it really. I have kept them in since Sept, especially cos I didnt want rufus getting to other females...

I think my cat Blossom might be pregnant, but am not sure. She has gained weight (especially round the middle) and is wanting more food, but I cant even see her nipples, and her personality hasnt changed, she is no more loving or sleepy than normal, still very independant. She is booked in to be...

Hello everyone! 1. I live in Wales, and am quite patriotic 2. I have 2 kittens, blossom and rufus, and my precious daughter who is in heaven, she'd be 8 months tomorrow. 3. I love different cultures, and have been to Australia, S. America, and around Europe. 4. I LOVE reading, and am so lucky...

Ireland are my second favourites to win, if Wales dont (they better). But that fantastic match france v argentina, oooooh! What a start to the tournament, am looking foreward to Ireland France. I am off to Cardiff to watch Wales Australia and I cant wait! It's my first international at last I...

Beautiful pictures! I see alot of buzzards, usually being chased by crows. They have the most beautiful, plaintive calls. I love hawks, they are so majestic. I am glad to say that red kites are making a comeback here in Wales, not long ago their numbers weren't even in the hundreds. Thats one...

Just wondering if anyone here is watching the world cup? Awesome game last night with France and Argentina! I am off to the Millenium stadium in Cardiff to see Wales play Australia, ooh. Come on Wales, you can do it!! (Oi I can hear you laughing!) CYMRU FOREVER!

wow they are beautiful! I've heard of this breed but never seen them till now. Gorgeous!

Hi, I live in sunny swansea in WALES! (actually its raining!) I have two lovely kittens, brother and sister, called Rufus Doofus and Blossom Possum. Rufus is grey and white with beautiful expressive green eyes, and Blossom is black and white, and is a real cheeky scamp! They were given to me...

Oh they are all GORGEOUS! I'm new too, see you around!

Thankyou for all your helpful replies,they are greatly appreciated. The vet was shut and i dont drive so i couldnt take them anywhere but i found a 24 hr phone line an talked to them an they said keep an eye till tomorrow, which i did (hardly slept, kept getting up all night to check on them!)...

thanks for your replies guys, good ideas imgonna get that fly paper and door thingy. better than running around with a rolled up newspaper! always feelbad doing that, even if they are just flies!

My two kittens are still very young, and I dont think they quite understand. I have cried in front of them, my baby girl died in January, and her Daddy and I split up recently, so I have been doing ALOT of crying, as you'd imagine. But I try and do it away from them, as I feel they are too...

I totally agree, especially on this subject. I think every cat owner should ensure their cat is done. I cant bear the thought of all the poor kittens being born to a life of abuse, or being drowned! Unfortunately, some of the people who get cats just dont really care, at all. If only there was...

I am having trouble with flies in my house at the mo, and wherever I put the kitties food they seem to find it. I only give them little bits at a time and use a clean bowl each feed, but sometimes I have seen fly eggs in their food. I check all the time and throw out any food with eggs in, but I...

I live in the uk and my vet told me to bring them in at 6 months. I think I will ring them and ask if they can be done sooner. I have a brother and sister and they are 4 months old now. I was wondering if they might mate if I dont get them done soon?

Yes this is really fascinating. I would like to ask you all - would you keep your child locked up inside for its entire life?? Because you all keep saying if the cat was a child you'd do this and that, well a cat is a CAT, it's an ANIMAL and it is in its NATURE to go OUTSIDE! Yes, it is a big...
