Mine survive on cheap own brand tinned food and kibbles - whatever's on offer this week - as I have too many cats and not enough money.  Apart from my old lady who is 20 and on her last legs who gets Sheba and Gourmet gold and Wainwrights, and all the expensive pates in tiny tins.  Its not that...

Thank you TNYC I didn't know that?  Is that just tuna in cans or fresh tuna as well?  I'd always understood that the tins of tuna in brine were unacceptable but that oil was recommended because of its omega3 content.  You live and learn - no more tuna for my kitties.

I think you're wonderful caring for all those lost kitties, sadly I can't offer one a home being across the water and also having 4 strays in the house already.  In England we consider black cats to be lucky (I wonder how we came to differ so widely) so its never occurred to me that Halloween...

My cats go mad for tuna and sardines.  I was advised my the vet to feed fish in oil to them once a week because of them won't touch cod liver oil which he recommended for her joints.  They all have lovely coats.

Just after last Christmas, two kittens appeared under a shed in the garden.  We live on a farm and this is not the first time someone has dumped a kitten here, but these were very young.  We managed to catch them, both females, and brought them indoors where they stayed in a cage for a few weeks...

That really is a delightful story and I'm sure your little girl will settle down and become a much loved member of your household and a lifetime companion.  You  are very lucky to have casual contact with a friendly vet and I'm sure he'll advise you of when its time to get her fixed.  In the...

Please don't worry, heart breaking as it is its normal for the mother to chase her babies away once they are old enough to fend for themselves, its like birds flying the nest at the end of summer.  Nature is very cruel. It might be kindest for you to get the females spayed if you can afford it...

Like Bianca I'm from the UK and over here it is almost universally accepted that all cats are basically wild creatures who just choose to live with us and who give us affection and companionship in return for warmth and food.  So I agree with those of you who are astonished that anyone would...

It looks like most people posting here are from the States, so this may not apply.  I'm from the UK and we have a very useful medication called Frontline which  is a little phial of liquid you just dot on the back of the neck (where the cat doesn't reach to groom) and it protects the animal for...

Where do you live?  Although I don't have any babies I've never heard of it, not any all meat baby products. Maybe its time to show the vet how annoyed and upset you are?  We all tend to be very deferential to medical experts, be they doctors dentists or whatever - and I sometimes think they...

I really feel for you, and empathise too as I'm going through the same process with my 20 year old.  She seemed to rally at the start of the week but today she's not interested in the special food the vet gave (gave? sold) me, not even drinking any water.  I wasn't offered antibiotics and I...

I'm having the same problem with my old lady - she seems hungry enough but only eat a little at a time.  She looks like a starving stray.  I'm in the UK and have never heard of the foods you mention, also our only local pet shop closed recently possibly due to competition from big stores like...

Feliway pheromones worked a treat when my four started fighting and soiling all over the place.  They are very expensive from a pet shop or the vet.  They work from an electric heater, like an air freshener, which you have to buy at the same time, and you plug them into an electricity supply. I...

Oh dear Oh dear, you and me and out cat all in the same boat.  I haven't found my way round this site yet, but I have posted about my dying cat (Miss Flipp) somewhere - but can't see it anywhere. Your cat is only young, 18 months did you say?, and your vet is taking a sensible route...... it...

I hope I've put this in the right place, it takes me some time to adjust to new surroundings.  I have four cats, two golden oldies and two ferals we found as kittens last Christmas, hiding under our shed. My dear favourite, Miss Flipp, is sadly on her way out.  She's been with me for 20 years...
