    Rescue Cats

    We have a lovely rescue cat called Alaska, although some of them have stopped since she has been with us, i think some of her previous behaviour might be indicators of her previous life/treatment, so I wondered if anyone else has found this, do you cats have any little quirks that might tell you...

    My fiancé and I are moving house tomorrow. We have reserved a beautiful little girl cat at our local RSPCA centre to pick up and bring home on Sunday. Her name is Alaska. She is completely white. I just wondered if anyone had any imaginative names for a white cat. If she responds to Alaska we...

    Do Rescue Centres Restrict Adoption?

    My fiance and I should be moving into a new house in about early November and we would like to adopt a cat probably around Christmas time. I know that some rescues won't allow adoption of cats (especially black cats) around Halloween and I read somewhere that rescue centres are inundated with...

    Does you cat like belly rubs?

    No we all now that the belly is very sensitive spot for a cat. Non-owners don't see to get that, I had a friends who would always said 'I tried to tickle his tummy and he tried to bite my hand off', to which I would always reply, 'well he's not a dog', after this she always went off in a huff...

    I am desperately trying to find a dress for my fiance's work Christmas party.But so far everything either doesn't come or is sold out in my size. Even in Evans (that's a British plus size shop in case you don't know). I found a gorgeous dress and they only have it in an 18. fell fat, ugly and...

    Feeding strays

    Do you feed strays? This always confused me. My mum always told me not to feed strays cos they will keep coming back and trespass on our cats territory. I now work in a food shop and people are always buying cat food but when I inquire about their cat, they say 'oh, its for the strays'. Do you/...

    Me or her. Who's in the wrong?

    Hi guys. I need a bit of vaguely cat related advice. My fiances cousin has been staying with us for three weeks now, she has got a job up here and hasn't found a place to live. We were more than happy to put her up for a couple of weeks on the condition that she would do everything in her power...

    Not a cat but still sad to see her go

    I hope you don't mind me posting this here, but my lovely rat Massey died on Wednesday morning. My fiance found her when he passed the cage on his way to the kitchen. She didn't move, as she usually comes out when anyone passes so he checked on her and she was stiff. Her sister Fergie who we...

    Outdoor to indoor

    My cat has just been diagnosed with FIV and our vet has reccomended we keep him in from now on. Problem is he has always been and outdoor cat and hates being kept in. The look of sadness on his face from the kitchen window when he sees our other cat going out is heartbreaking. That is the other...

    Max's strange behaviour

    My Max has suddenly started behaving rather strangely. He has always been a brave and inquisitive cat, not phased by any kind of change or break from routine and he has been perfectly fine with the kitchen fitters and painters we have had in this week, but when we had the removal men come to...

    What unusual things do your cats like to play with?

    I guess all cats have something unusual that they like to play with. Frank used to rip up books we have managed to get him off the books and now he will tear up newspaper which we don't mind so much. Max is crazy about elastic hair bands, he loves them, my mum once found a collection of 49 under...

    If cats wore clothes what can you see your cats in based on their personality.

    I can see Frank sat in his chair in a silk dressing gown with slippers and pipe and Max in faded blues jeans, biker boots, vest, a leather jacket and shades.

    Where do your cats sleep?

    Just out of curiosity do you cats have particular room in which they sleep or to you give them free run of the house at night? My boyfriends cats have a proper cat bed upstairs on the landing but they also have the choice of the kitchen or conservatory. My cats, Frank has his own cushion in the...
