Hi guys, thanks for the responses!. We took boof to the vets today, as a spot opened up. The vet thouroughly examined his legs, squeezing pulling etc, ran fingers down spine, did the usual check up stuff. Boof showed no signs of pain or discomfort. Ultimately the vet was stumped. He gave us...

Hi everyone, I'm asking a question on behalf of my worried mother. her 3 year old cat "Boof", since yesterday, has stopped jumping up on the lounge/bed etc. He just seems to pull himself up with his front paws,and climb. Dad thinks he has just pulled a muscle or something and should be right...

Hi Everyone. I got my Kitten, Penny, on 18th February 2012. I got her from a woman advertising kittens online. I paid $400 for her. She had her first two vaccinations, flea’d and wormed. She was worth every penny (hehe). The one thing that is really stressing me out is the fact that she has not...

Thanks Oriental Slave :) Yes I definately want to avoid Back Yard Breeders! I'll be attending a local show next month. I'm reaasonably certain it is the kind of show that you mentioned where the judges sit there and talk about each cat. So that will be an invaluable experience for me :) Thats...

Lol haha they sound like right little terrors! My Penny, she loves to jump up on the keyboard when im trying to type, I always say no and take her off, but cats being cats, she chooses to pretend i didnt say a thing! After about the 6th time of me saying no and taking her off, she'll jump back...

Hi everyone! My kitten has developed conjunctavitis, red eyes, goopy. I clean it with a cotton bud dipped in warm water and salt, which keeps it clear and removes most goop. It's still not going away though. It doesnt seem to affect him very much to be honest, he still runs around like a crazy...
