    Is This Looking Ok? Spay Incision Site After 6 Days.

    Hi We sometimes have to readjust Coojee's onesie after she has been giving herself a clean. But we've hardly seen her incision wound & Coojee almost certainly hasn't touched it.

    Onesie Advice Please

    Coojee had her spay operation yesterday, we are having problems with her onesie. It's a little too small for her & she gets her front legs out of it. It makes her front legs restricted so she walks in little steps like a poodle. She gets out of it about 3 times a day. Does anyone have a pattern...

    Kitten In Hunting Mode!

    Every morning, I play this game with my kitten after breakfast. She lays on the bed & flattens her body in hunting mode, while I play peek-a-boo with her favourite cuddly bear.

    This has just started. Coojee is 5½ months old, strong & fit. She has many cat toys & is very happy. Her favourite toy at the moment is a sheet of white paper screwed into a ball.

    Insect Protection

    My wife is plagued by midges & gets bitten every time we go out for a walk in the woods. They seem to ignore me, either my skin is tough as old boots, or I don't taste very nice. Our favourite outdoor clothing company (rohan.co.uk) produces insect resistant clothing which is impregnated with...

    New Kitten?

    I joined this lovely forum in 2011 when the love of my life, Marmite became ill & died. I cried for months & was desperately grief-stricken. It's only been a couple of years since I started listening to music again. Yes, I had stopped listening to music, I was punishing myself & felt that I...
