    Bells on collars

    My cat goes absolutely crazy if you put a collar with a bell on her, and we have tried several times thinking she'd get used to it! She runs around as fast as anything, scratches you if you go near her, and ends up staying so still, frozen, so the bell doesn't tinkle! Last time we tried she...

    Question for white cat owners

    Hi, my kitty is not totally white but mostly, and she is also a cat who is very warm the whole time, especially her ears! I tend to think this might be because she is a very active cat, is yours? She also just had her vaccine and the same thing happened, not as pink nose, and she slept a lot...

    kitty...on heat?

    I had my cat, Lily, spayed a few weeks ago. As she was 1 year old and an indoor cat, she was in heat. We needed to get her spayed (we hadn't before as she was 10 months when we rescued her and wanted her to settle in first) so we phoned various vets and they all said to wait until she had...

    Lonely indoor cat?

    Yeah, she bites me as a play thing. I know the signs of biting from stroking too much etc because she gives me that 'look' and i just stop, or she gets up and walks away. she never gets aggressive when i'm actually stroking her. What she does A LOT which drives me mad is stalk my legs and...

    Lonely indoor cat?

    Thanks! So it looks like i have enough room then? yay! I was thinking, do i get a male or female cat? I have a feeling, i don't know though, that although Lily is quite a nervous cat, once she gets to know the new cat she may try to be quite dominant - so is it better to get a male...
