My boy cat did this frequently until he was 4 months old, because he was separated before 8 weeks. He still nurses, licks and nibbles on hands and elbows to soothe himself sometimes. I think it calms them down or is a reflex when sleepy. There's not much harm in it continuing, unless she's a...

I shall have a look through. He seems fine today, thankfully. Been giving very small portions of wet to try and move any remaining biscuits through. What a little monster.

I know it's very irresponsible to have a cat without having a job, but I do. I have a network of friends and family (and the Cats protection league) covering his expenses for jabs, essential treatments etc. because he was better off with me than with the original "owner". He's got a clean bill...

I just tip my wriggle-puss on her back to clip them, grip her paw firmly and blow air gently in her face if she starts misbehaving of growling. Weirdly it works, I have no idea why she puts up with it. Boy-kin is such a soft pudding that I could paint his nails pink and he wouldn't care. People...

Interesting site.. But is there anything to read that's a little less biased, and lets you consider both sides? I understand people want the best for their cats, but to read pages like this would have me think I am poisoning my little friends, despite how they are doing in reality. I'm not pro...

I've never seen a cat do it to another, but they certainly use their bottoms to assert who's in charge. A neighbour of my boyfriend had a cat that one day decided he'd had enough of the neighbour's son. The cat ran up and squarely plonked his butt in the kid's cereal one morning. He sat there...

I'm sorry.. I'm not sure I understand why people seem to be so anti-dry.. My cats are absolutely thriving on a "complete" dry, my vet says to stick with it. Nearby I know an 18 year old Maine Coon with what the vet says are the teeth and body of a young adult cat, and he has never had wet...

Don't feel guilty. As long as he has things to do and occupy his little head, I'm sure he doesn't feel sad. Perhaps get him a low-effort toy to play with when you're not there (low effort on his part, if he's feeling his age), like a fling-ama-string or a puzzle box.

I came home to find my 7-8lb tom cat (Witchkin ) has managed to gnaw his way into a clip-top Tupperware container and single-pawedly eat nearly 5lb of dried food in the space between 6pm last night and 3pm today. Plus what the timed feeder handed out at 10am (two cats' dinner)... Leaving not a...

I'd love to train my little 'Kin, he is so placid and will do anything for a treat, even if you bunch up your hand and aren't holding one.. I'm just not sure if he's too dim..
