thanks for all your messages, dora seeems to be coming out of her heat already, i'm guessing that it will be completely over by tomorrow. we have her booked in for a consultation on friday and then i'm hoping he will spay her next wednesday. is this too soon after her heat does anybody know? she...
okay thanks, well i have her booked in with the vet this friday for her consultation and then will book the op while i'm there for next week. by then her heat will be over and we should be in time before she starts another!!! phew. xx
i am in the uk and was told by my vet that dora could be spayed at 6 months old which i appreciate as perhaps a later spay is safer under anaesthetic? however, dora is five months old and has just come into heat! i have her booked in for her pre-spay consultation next week and was hoping to have...
I agree, I posted a question about collars and received various responses from people telling me that I shouldn't let my cat outside, etc. I am in the UK too and we live in a cul-de-sac near an open field, I know my cat will be safe. I have been reading the forum to try and find out how old she...
Thanks everybody for all the info. I live in a cul-de-sac away from main roads with a large field by my house and think it would be a shame to keep dora indoors. She loves to explore and in the UK most cats are infact outdoor cats as sadieandziggy said. I would keep her in at night though...
Hey everyone,
I've just bought Dora a little kitten collar to wear while she is in the house with an identity tag, just in case she finds a way outside! At the same time I have also been looking at cat collars for when she is big enough to go outside, and wondered which are best. The ones...
Thank you everybody for all of the information. Guess I shouldn't worry. I put her on the science plan dry food as it was what was recommended at our veterinary practice. There are loads of dry foods like go-cat, etc, but they all look a bit crappy and the science plan is meant to be full of...
Thanks very much for your advice. I'll check out those brands and try her with some different wet foods. It's not like I can feel her ribs or anything, and she is very playful so I guess I'm just not used to having slim pets. (We have a big cuddly lop rabbit too). The main thing is that she...
Hey there,
There isn't really a problem here as little Dora does eat her dried science plan diet but whenever I offer her wet food such as kitten meat in jelly or gravy, all she does is eat the jelly/gravy but leaves the meat. She is going to be quite a small cat as her parents were small but...
hi there, i'm replying to your post so that i can get my own pic up and running. (cheeky aren't i?!!) im a newbie, learning my way around the site. have a cool day! xx
Hey everyone! just to say "hi" to you all. I've never had a cat before, I've always had dogs and rabbits, so thought it would be a good idea to join the forums for advice and suggestions when needed. Dora has had all her vet checks and vaccinations and is a beautiful little kitten, really...
