    Recently spayed cat, quite upset just wondering when she'll return to her old self.

    Thank you all for the advice, I was really starting to freak! Last night she kept falling over but didn't try to get back up again. We fashioned her a new bed out of an old pillow and a couple of blankets because her old bed was a bit cramped and she kept hurting while she was lying there but...

    Recently spayed cat, quite upset just wondering when she'll return to her old self.

    I brought my cat to get spayed this morning. When I brought her home she kept picking at the stitches. She calmed down a teensy bit and sat on my lap but after a while she started making a low 'oooooooooowwwww' sound and jumped off. She started picking the stitches and I was forced to put the...

    Cats and Rats, need some help.

    Yes the rats adore their new cage. I have made hammocks for them and picked up some other toys in the pet store. They have all learned their names and come when called but I have only been able to train my little female Sam to spin but it's so cute! The breeder said that the males were 3...

    Cats and Rats, need some help.

    The rats are in a cage but it's one with metal bars and the cats always tried to get their paws into it but their paws were to big but Fabby got his paw stuck one time and so after that I had to put them in the spare bedroom to stop the cats from hurting the rats and themselves. :wavey:

    Cats and Rats, need some help.

    Hi I recently got four cute baby rats. Two hairless and two hooded. My dog has accepted them as part of the family but my three cats just want to eat them.
