    he has to go anyway really. He wont be neutered for another 2 months but its good to get acquaintance before the fact.

    Inside/outside - am I cruel?

    i think it really depends on the environment. I was recomended to keep Samson indoors, but ive been seeing the way he looks out that window. I try and keep the house as enriched as i can but I just dont think i can compare to out there. I wouldnt dream of letting him out in the bustling city...

    weird eye

    resurect the thread rather than start a new one... It hasnt gone away. Its only there when he is sleepy. Its not causing him any discomfort at all. Is it just part of his physiology or is there a problem causing it? It makes him look drunk!

    i love being cuddled... but this is too much!

    because we live in a shared house with friends we have to have his food and litter tray in our room so we have to always leave the door open. Is a pain for travelling noise from downstairs. Wish we could have another arrangement but its fairest for our friends this way.

    What possessed him to poop in the sink!!

    i wish he had squatted neatly... it was smeared all around the entire sink up to the edges. We found him in there yesterday actually, he was playing with the dripping water and rolling around all over the place. Might somehow, the water have made him want to go? How do we make sure he never...

    What possessed him to poop in the sink!!

    I was 30 mins late for work this morning coz i had to spend my morning disinfecting the sink and chasing a mad hyper kitten around with a flannel trying to get the left overs of his tail and back legs. I had to leave some there too! It was just impossible to catch him. it was on my pillow... i...

    Smudge has been in a fight :(

    If your absolutley certain that you want your cat to be able to go outdoors, and the two cats arnt too unevenly matched, perhaps let her out more?? I mean Im not an expert, i know. But it seems to me that if your cat only goes out irregularly, the territory is deffinatly not going to be hers...

    Jackie Cat = Crazy Cat

    oh thats so sad. From everything ive read on declawing... it might have been that. You say "Thank God that she doesnâ€8482t have her claws because my friend would have been torn up." but it might be she went mental because she doesnt have her claws. kinda an over compensation thing. Still its...

    i love being cuddled... but this is too much!

    yeah Samson does this. The time varies. ranges from 5 am to much later on some days. on a weekend he managed to leave me till 12! but usually he cant wait past 6.30am. He starts by doing the face tickling... then moves on to licking my face,... then he licks my eyelids....then he tries to lick...

    weird eye

    I nearly had a heart attack when i got in the other night. Samson was asleep on my partners knee, he woke up and came running over to me like always, except his left eye was closed, and his right one open, his entire left side seemed to be still asleep! as soon as he woke up though and started...

    Reaccurring absess

    thank you so much, you have been a great help. I think i will put this advice on to my brother rather than my parents, my parents dont have much free time and feel that they are doing there best with the vet. my brother has much more time to worry and actually do things.

    Reaccurring absess

    is there anything we can do at home for him? Im going to ask my parents next time i go round if he has been on antibiotics. Im starting to wonder about how good the vet is... You would think he would be more worried after three visits I always assume my parents know best as to the "which vet"...

    Friend wants to be a breeder

    The breeder said that Samson would be a really good show cat (he is just so pretty!) if i was to show him and bring Keiran along with me, or perhaps we could show him together as a joint project even though he is my pet, that could provide some valuable experience. Nothing I suppose to having...

    Reaccurring absess

    My parents cat Jasper has a reaccuring absess on his back. The vet has drained it three times now and it has gone down but it is back again. My brother is getting quite angry that my dad wont just take him to the vet and get it drained again, but my dad just cant afford it again so close to the...

    Friend wants to be a breeder

    So my friend has decided that he would like to become a Maine Coon breeder after falling in love with my cat. He isnt running off to get started on it straight away or anything scary, its just something he wants to do and asked me about it. I am unsure what to advise him on, he is a very loving...

    Playing with his litter!

    So Ive recently changed his litter, He was used to lightweight non clumping stuff, its what he had at his breeders. but i hated that coz it just tracked round the house soooo much and when you scooped you had to take more out that you needed to just to make sure. So i moved to clumping stuff...

    Sneezes

    might be i suppose, do cats often have allergys? We dont have any flowers in the house but we do open windows occasionally so there is bound to be some pollen flying around somewhere. If cats have allergys... could they ever be allergic to themselves...

    Sneezes

    We have noticed Samson sneezing a lot. His health seems otherwise fine though. Could this be a reaction to moving into a new house or could it the start of something else. What else should I watch for. His nose isnt running, he is eating ok and seems really happy, but he will sneeze 3 or 4 times...
