    Cats and Moving House

    We have two cats, we've had them since they were kittens (they are brothers) now they're 4 years old.  We moved house about 10 days ago, and it has been hell. One cat decided he would only pee on any kind of material (towels, bath mats, clothes, etc) left on the floor, wouldn't touch the litter...

    Lethargic, but healthy-looking cat - any ideas?

    We have a 2-year old tabby called Tam, that we've had from a kitten.  Normally he's very active, running about at dawn and dusk, but just lately he has become very lethargic, though he still grooms himself, eats and drinks.  His eyes are clear, his coat is beautifully soft and well groomed, and...

    Hungry but not hungry

    Our cat is very sensible, eats only what he needs, and is in good shape. But recently he seems to have gone off his food, though he still craves food. We give him Friskies Indoor Delights, and he would wolf it down. About 9pm, when he came in from outside, we would give him 3 or 4 cat treats...

    Night time naughtiness

    No doubt this isn't a new topic, but I was wondering if anyone has any advice. We have an adult cat, we've had him for about 18 months, and until about 4 or 5 months ago he was fine at night. Recently, though, he seems to want to go in and out several times during the night. If you ignore him...

    New cat meets old: two days and they seem to get on?

    We've had Puss, a 4 year old tuxedo, for about a year. We got him from a friend who was moving away. He lived with another cat there, but when we visited, he seemed to be rather bullied by it. About 3 days ago we took in another tuxedo. He looks like he's about 2 years old. He had lived...

    Temporary move - will it affect the cat too much?

    Since we got our cat in February, we've all of us got into a comfy routine. Yesterday my father-in-law rang us, sounding very upset. He has to travel to another state to see his brother, who is seriously ill. At the same time, his beloved black lab is getting on in years, and suffering from...

    Cat wants out at night - should I worry?

    We've had our cat since February. Soon after we got him (adopted from a friend moving to another state) we moved to a house in a quiet street, with a big garden surrounded by fences and trees. The cat was very wary about going outside, and sometimes we literally had to pick him up and put him...

    Picky cat worrying me

    We have a 4-year old cat, and he's not eating his food. He is hungry - he goes to the bowl and just turns his nose up at the stuff in it. If he's really hungry, he'll eat a few bits, but he does it in a way that says "I don't really like this stuff". When we adopted him from a friend 4 months...

    Cat won't go outside on his own

    We recently adopted a 4-year old male cat from a friend who was moving away to another part of the country. She had had him since he was a kitten, and kept him as an indoor-only cat. When we took him on we lived in an upstairs apartment, so continued to keep himi indoors. About 3 weeks ago we...

    Infrequent but annoying vomiting

    We have recently taken on a 4 year old cat from a friend. He sems fine on the whole. Last Thursday we found he had thrown up his food, it didn't look like he'd even chewed it. Then nothing for a few days until Sunday, when we discovered he'd thrown up on our bed! After a late-night laundry...

    Vomiting and Lethargy

    Our cat Nigel has vomited 7 times in the last 24 hours. The first few times it was mush, the last few just yellow liquid. He was lethargic and slept most of yesterday, then perked up a bit in the evening, before the vomiting started again. Now he's curled up on my lap as I type this, being...

    Cat play

    Our cat is very demanding when it comes to play. He will sit and look at you and if you ignore him he goes and does things guaranteed to get your attention, you know the stuff, climbing onto shelves with lots of precarious objects, pulling stuff off tables, etc. If you go into another room, he...

    Cat on the Nightstand

    We've had a rescue cat for about 3 months. Nigel is brilliant, friendly, not too destructive, but he can be very manipulative. When we first got him he was very unsettled at night, meowing, moving about, jumping up on the windowsill and pawing at the venetian blinds. Now we've go him to sleep...

    My needy cat

    Hello Just joined the forum, looks pretty interesting. I have a bit of a problem, and I hope you'll be able to give me some advice. My wife and I have had cats before in our single lives, and had been talking about getting a cat together. An opportunity came up where we could adopt a rescue...
