Hi, took my cat to the vet yesterday with a UTI, my regular vet wasn't there and a young vet saw her. My regular vet usually gives an antibiotic injection to start working straight away and then some antibiotics to take at home. But his vet only gave me antibiotics (amoxyclav) to give her at...

I did something really stupid yesterday - my cat has an area over her left flank that is always matted so I rubbed a little olive oil into the area hoping to break up the matt a little and soothe her skin. I figured this couldn't hurt her as she sometimes eats a little of my food that is cooked...

Hi! So I've had this cat about 8 months, she's approx 8 years old, no tail, thick almost double coat like a british shorthair. She keeps herself well groomed and lets me comb her from time to time but has only recently let me pet/massage her all over. Anyway, while petting her this evening I...

Hi, I took in a an outdoor cat from my mum's neighbourhood over the winter for about 3 months as she was mainly living in mums backyard and mum would feed her but for various reaons didn't want her in the house. Anyway, the cat has been happily living indoors but now the weather is getting...

Hi all, the cat I recently took in is black and white - it's the first time I've had a cat with a white face and have noticed her chin is always stained brown - I'm assuming from the food? She also has mild chin acne so once or twice a day I have been giving it a bit of a clean with a cotton...

Hi, I took in a cat that was a little neglected that had been mainly living in my mums backyard and now that the weather turned so cold I felt sorry for her. She seems very happy at my home but she seems to be itching to get outside and has slipped through the door a couple of times as I am...

So I've taken in this neighbourhood cat that was a bit neglected and she has been home with me for about 10 days - she seems really happy and I've known her about 8 months now and she has always been happy to be stroked and cuddled. Today for some reason she will only tolerate a pat or 2 and...

Hi, some of you may know from my other posts that I've just taken in a neglected neighbourhood cat. About 2-3 weeks ago when she was still living outdoors she turned up on my back doorstep with a bunch of splinters on her face - I managed to remove all but one. This one on her nose was too...

So I ended up taking I this neglected neighbours cat of on an informal basis - last time I took her home to them they said to me that they thought she had been with me and I told them that I would hate to take their cat but their response was "but she likes you better" as they have been leaving...

Hi, I've taken in a neighbours cat that has been pretty much neglected and 3 days ago while I was patting her tummy and she seemed to be enjoying it she lashed out and scratched my right hand. I immediately washed it with an soap and water and put some antiseptic on it. Being on my right hand...

Hi - I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this.... My elderly mum's neighbour has 2 small children, to dogs and 2 cats. One cat is an outdoor cat, the other cat was an inside cat until the it couldn't take the constant pestering from the children and then started being an outdoor...

Hi, I'm thinking I am finally ready to get a new kitten after my darling old girls passed away (1 & 2 years ago). I want a kitten but everything I read makes me afraid that a kitten left alone will develop behavioural problems (I'm looking at a rescue kitten of around 10-12 weeks). I really...

I had two cats both who passed away in the last 18 months of ckd and the last few years looking after them was tough with the vet visits, constant worry, encouraging them to eat, medications, rushing home to check all was OK. They were both aged 18 when they died. They were my babies - I had...
