Poor little kitten. He sounds very ill, can you get him to a vet? If not, and I know it's expensive enough paying for your own cat to see a vet, never mind a stray, is there a rescue you could take the pair of them to? This really would be better than just letting him suffer. Please keep...

Hi, I'm not saying you shouldn't get it checked out, but don't panic. I have a Burmese with a dark brown fleck - we don't remember it when we first got him, but it certainly was noticed by the time he was a year or so. We had it checked with the vet when it was first noticed. She said it...

Sometimes Mums still want to tell us what to do long after we've become adults .... my sister is in her forties and our mum has only just started to let her get on with her own life. They're so used to making decisions for us as children, they find it hard to stop. I ended up getting a cat...

Oh sweetie, you're bound to have some dreadful feelings of guilt and regret. It's all part of grieving ... going over things and wishing you'd done them differently. You put Mackerel on the grass because she mewed in pain at being handled, like any loving person would. You didn't want to the...

You will feel better in time, although it won't feel that way right now. I know it sounds sick/dirty, but I couldn't bear to clear the litter tray when I first lost Jimmy. My heart was broken everytime I saw a crumpled up T shirt on my son's bed, because, just for a heartbeat, I thought it was...

Wow this is fascinating! What a huge variety of different things we do! I work in a museum as an educator, running school visits for primary aged children in a Tudor farmhouse. I spend my days dressed as a 16th Century farmer's wife! I'm also doing a Masters in Museum Learning.

I'm sorry too. She fought for so long to stay with you, but she's at peace now.

I'm so sorry too. I don't think I've commented before, but I've been following Mackerel's story from the beginning, even logging on at work (when I shouldn't) to see how she's getting on. Whenever I've lost a cat it's always been very important to me to feel that I've done everything...

I watched the video too and he was beautiful. Amazing that an animal that could defend his territory so fiercely, as you described, could also play so gently without someone he loved. But .. as we all know ... cats are amazing. I'm so sorry for your loss. Like most people on this forum, I've...

A shark. A very small one in an open tank at an Aquarium. It didn't feel at all like you imagine it would, all smooth and slippery. It was bristly, in fact my small (at the time) son said it felt like "Grandad's whiskers". Like a man who hasn't shaved for a couple of days.

RIP Baby Cloud. She knew someone loved her

So sorry to hear of your loss. He must have had a great home and the best possible care to live to such a great age.

Rosso - Rossposs Bruno - Broo-poo Raffles - Raffy or Rafftaff. Or any of them get called varmint when they're chasing round the house knocking things over!

Hi, your cats look gorgeous! Where in Yorkshire are you - I'm in Sheffield, South Yorkshire

I work in a museum, where a moth infestation can be devastating to old textiles. Apparently dry cleaning alone doesn't kill the larvae, so anything showing any signs of moths is put into a plastic bag and popped into a freezer for a couple of weeks. Then it can be dry cleaned.

Thanks for your answer. I have 3 cats as well, so if the water did go down more than usual I would have to do further investigations to see which one of them it was - but at least I would be alerted to the potential problem. I'm really torn on this one. I can see that's its healthier and...

Can I just ask people who use cat fountains if they can see how much a cat is drinking as easily as you can from a bowl? It's one of the ways I use to gauge if my cats are healthy - ie not drinking more than normal. I've been thinking about getting one for my 3, but would hate to miss symptoms...

I used one of them - vine I think it was, but can't quite remember as it's about 3 years ago now. I had an young adult cat and introduced 2 new kittens and the flower remedies were recommended to calm the aggression that he was showing towards them. He was playing too roughly, as he is a big cat...

Thank you all for your kind comments. I've seen people posting on here going through agony for weeks when their cat has gone missing. I'm glad I spared Buster's family that, especially as he was found only yards across the road from where he lived, but still wish I could have found him before...

I haven't posted on the Cat Site for ages. My cats are all healthy, now young adults, with no problems, thank goodness, but I do call in from time to time to read the forum messages. I felt the need to post though, after an experience I had this morning. I act with a local amateur theatre...
