Oh interesting thanks for the info re sugar in gourmet. I will keep an eye out.  I totally agree on variety, plus I like to ensure they don't become fussy! It does mean I have several boxes of natures best sachets they are refusing to eat - the ungrateful little monkeys!  They LOVE Lilly's its...

Hi Irina! I also tried the Bozita dry food in the giant bag.  They liked it actually, it was just inconvenient for me to store.  I've read good things about Bozita in general.  Also, I meant Cosma not Cosmo! They liked those cans and I felt like they were good quality. The problem with Zooplus...

Hello all, Just curious as to what everyone in the UK feeds their cats? I have tried a few different things: Dry: Applaws Taste of the Wild Wet: Natures Best (from Fetch) Gourmet (I think its by Purina) Sainburys Finest/Waitrose Finest Cosmo (from Zooplus) Encore Hi-Life

We ended up taking dennis back to a different vet for a second opinion and showing them a video of him coughing. The vet said it was a reverse sneeze and took his temperature again as well as checking his nostrils. Turns out the left one was blocked. Dennis went in for an op and they extracted a...

Hi Debbie- sorry to hear Rocky is unwell.  I am definitely no expert - I use TCS for help & advice.  However, I thought I would just mention that my cat Dennis had been unwell for a few weeks and a course of vet prescribed anti-biotics hadn't helped.  I started him on some L-Lysine supplements...

Thanks ever so much for your help Quiet & Lisa!  I am pleased to report that when I got back from work yesterday Dennis was much more his normal self and coughing a lot less. I am so pleased! Whilst the improvement was after only 2 doses of antibiotics and therefore may have just been clearing...

They haven't done a radiograph yet.  The vet listened to his chest on each occasion and said the lungs sounded clear.  Sorry to be dim, is the radiograph the same as an x-ray? That was on the list if they put him under general anasthetic (examination down his throat, xray and swabs taken to send...

I have just read about vaseline being mega effective for hairballs, however it also stops absorbtion of meds? I don't want to stop the antibiotics working, but also keen to give the vaseline a go incase it is just a hairball.  He is very hairy and has been grooming alot recently as I think his...

Hello everyone My male cat, Dennis, is 1 year 7 months old and is a siamese mix. He has been out of sorts for over a week now.  First he developed a mild UTI and I took him to the vet who prescribed metacam (anti-inflammatory) we used this and the UTI has gone now.  However not last Thursday...

Thanks so much for the responses.  Hopefully they will just grow out of it.  The sister is a growler as well as a hisser but I think it sounds worse than it is!  Yayi -they recently had check ups at the vet so hopefully all good health-wise.  Dennis is just getting over an UTI.  They have...

Hello all. I have two 1.5 year old cats who are brother and sister.   They used to be best buds as kittens and occasionally playfight too rough and the sister would hiss.  However recently in the last few months they have been bickering a bit more than usual and the sister keeps hissing at her...

Thanks all.  My cats definitely do crunch their food so I feel it does help a little bit with the teeth!  I bought a cat toothbrush but it was such a palava - I felt like it wasn't really doing anything. Dennis was better last night, he was in and out of the litter box about 6 times in the...

Thanks Kitty Whiskers. I will definitely introduce at least 1 wet meal a day back in. Our vet recommended dry to maintain good oral hygeine and said he fed his cats all dry.  I am going to see how he is this evening as other than the pee on doorstep incident his mood seemed relatively ok he is...

Good morning My cat Dennis is about 1.5 yrs old.  Recently he has been waking us up every morning around 4-5am by hopping on the bed yowling and scratching the sheets. I thought it was just attention seeking and have been playing extra time with Da Bird every evening to tire him out, however...

Thanks Yayi - they are pretty much not using it at all anymore. Never for #2s.  This week I have moved it actually into the bath to see if they use it at all then if I move it away at least they will go in an easy to clean place :)

Hello everyone. We did a very gradual introduction to the outside world for our two 1 year old cats, initially on harnesses, then relatively short supervised adventures off the lead, and finally in the last month we got a microchip cat flap and Dennis and Squish are allowed to come and go as...

Thank you for the ultra speedy response! I did wonder about adding more oil. I will give that a go. She is grumpy at the moment post bath! Poor thing! Thanks for your help I will give the vege oil a go. I only have grape seed oil so hopefully that is ok? I'll only use a smidgen

Squish just ran into my boyfriends bike wheel and has oil down her side. I tried washing it off with face wipes then warm water with a smidgen of fairy liquid as I have no shampoo and am in the uk so can't get "dawn soap" She is soaking wet but went berserk at the bath and gouged me. The oil is...

Aw sorry to hear Sophie has been  in the wars and wanted to reiterate what others had said about not blaming yourself.  So glad surgery went well and she is recovering. Would you mind me asking who you used for pet insurance? I am in the UK and have two 1 year old cats but I didn't take out pet...

Yeah my cat Squish was spayed in August (on her flank) and the fur has grown back but is such a dark patch :( I hope it will blend back in eventually! It definitely takes a lot longer than you would imagine especially as they moult at a rate of knots you would think hair an inch or so long would...
