    7 months of no sleep, please help Marcel to stay indoors!

    So here's an update. I plugged the Feliway difuser back in and put an extention cable right at the door so it's as close as I could get it. It's been on for a few days but I can't say I notice any good/bad effects. I took Marcel into the garden on his gentle leader and tried to tire him out...

    7 months of no sleep, please help Marcel to stay indoors!

    Ha ha ear plugs, that's a good idea!! We've got one of those sisal mats attached to the door and he will sometimes scratch it, but more often than not next to it or the other door, he scratches a lot on his cat tree as well. I'm really sure it's for attention though. When he's scratching on...

    Floppy belly pouch, is this normal?

    Marcel is our 9 month old male who was neutered at 6 months. At that time the vet said he was a little bit overweight. Because he is still an indoor cat I switched to indoor food and have been really careful that he doesn't eat to much. I'm pretty sure he's lost a little weight and grown a...

    Cats Scratching At Night

    We are having a similar problem with Marcel because we have to lock him in the bathroom at night, it has been driving us nuts! Now we are going to try and attach a meter or so of carpet to the back of the door so when he scratches it shouldn't make any noise and he will have another scrathing...

    At wits end with pooping and peeing problem

    I'm not sure whether this works for cats as well but if a dog pee's somewhere he's not meant to and gets attracted back to that spot again (by smell or something else) it's a good idea to put his food bowl on that spot. It helps them re-associate that area. Not sure if it would work for a cat...

    6yr old pee'd on bed!

    Well Marcel just pee'd in his litter box normally, no meowing, circling, hesitating etc, now i'm thinking maybe George pee'd there in the morning when I didn't notice. More investigating! One things for sure, bedroom door is staying closed! Which means we will be kept awake alllll night by...

    6yr old pee'd on bed!

    Yeah I was thinking along the UTI line as well. Marcel is still quite small so when he pees in his box it's only about a spoonfull. George on the otherhand pees a lot more. Sorry to be graphic but they also smelt completly different, the big patch much stronger. Even if it was only one cat...

    6yr old pee'd on bed!

    Yesterday I was about to go to bed when I found a pee puddle on my sheet! It was definetely from Marcel our 6month old who has NEVER had an accident before, but when I pulled back the duvet I found out why he'd done it. There was a huge puddle of George pee! (our 6yr old male). He has never...

    Opinions on infra-red cat flaps please!

    Hee! Not much help but the thought of the dogs poking through really made me laugh! Do you mean that when the magnetic cat flap is closed that it clicks when it unlocks but they still have to push really hard? That might be a good thing for my situation. I don't think George would mind it...

    Opinions on infra-red cat flaps please!

    Hi Long story short we have one indoor/outdoor cat, he's always gone outdoors and it's impossible to keep him in. Now we have a 6month old completly black kitten and the thought of sending him outside scares the life out of me!! It took months to train our other cat to keep to the back of the...

    Food and growth question

    HI! Sorry for crashing your thread! I wanted to ask a similar questions. Our Marcel is approx 6 months (we found him in the street). When he was recently neutered at 5 months ish he weighed 3.1kg (6.8lbs) the vet said that he was already overweight, unlikely to grow to be a big cat and...

    Leaving cats at home whilst you are on holiday...

    Well we just got back from our vacation. We left the radio on for Marcel and my in-laws came and fed him twice a day and played with him a bit, they also let George come up a couple of times. From the minute we walked back in the door Marcel acted like we'd never left! Laid right down...

    OMG! Trout just gave me a heart attack!

    Ha ha! Just imagine what he gets upto at night! I had the same srt of feeling when Marcel jumped on my tummy in the middle of the night! Our cats have even figured out how to un-lock the locking catflap.

    cat memory

    I'm also going away for a week and worried that Marcel (5ish months) will forget me! George is 6 so he's been left before, he's normally pretty cool the first day that we get back but the second day he sticks to my legs like glue Maybe I have to bring them a little present back so that they...

    Aloe Vera Plants are Toxic

    Yeah I just found out that having aloe plants in the house was not a good thing. There are so many products for cats, including these http://www.petsfamily.com/pf/index.php?id=853 which contain aloe that I just didn't think about it. My plants are hitting the high road, which is annoying...
