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...

I'm posting on behalf of my sister who tragically lost her 5 year old beautiful red Persian on Monday. She heard him coughing and stretching his neck out, as though he was trying to get rid of something. This continued for about an hour and a half, before she thought, to be on the safe side...

Please can you keep my baby Rosso in your thoughts. On Thursday he was sleeping peacefully with his brother when he suddenly started coughing. I picked him up and took him to the kitchen, where there is a tiled floor and no carpet because I thought he was going to be sick. Well, he wasn't, he...

Back in March we had a thread for those amongst us trying to lose a few pounds to boast how well we were doing and try and motivate ourselves. It's about 2 months later, so how's about an update? Apologies if there's been one and I missed it. I'll start. When I posted back in March I'd lost...

I'm posting this on behalf of my sister who has two beautiful Persian neutered males. They are about five years old. They are well loved, looked after and groomed and bathed frequently. She is concerned that one of them is getting a bit big and would appreciate it if someone could give a...

I found headlice in my 8 year old daughter's hair AGAIN. This is the third time in a few months, I just clear them and she goes to school and picks them straight up again. I'm getting worried about the times I'm using what is a powerful insecticide on her scalp. She also gets very...

I wonder if anyone can help with a behaviour problem which is growing increasingly exasperating. Our two 6 month old Burmese kittens will insist on jumping on and walking all over the dining table whilst we are eating. They are so cheeky they will go for food on the plates we are actually eating...

I'm toying with the idea of taking Rosso back to the vet today. As many regulars will know he and Bruno were neutered on Friday. He has had diahorrea (sp?) since yesterday and has been sick this morning. It was only liquid because he hadn't been fed when he did it, but I've never seen him...

Well, it's here. I dropped my babies off at the vet at 8.20 this morning. When we got there both of them had burrowed under the blanket inside the cat carrier, so it looked as though I was carrying an empty basket. "If we hide under this blanket, nobody will see us." I'm glad the day's...

I was sitting the bath this morning when I suddenly felt a plop behind me. I knew one of my kittens was playing around on the cabinet behind the bath and I assumed that he had knocked a shampoo bottle in. I turned round to fish it out and and found one very wet Burmese scrambling out of the...

I'm not exactly new, I've been around for a few months, but this is the first time I've had a go at posting pics. So here (hopefully) are my two nearly 6 months old Burmese kittens, Rosso and Bruno, and my 18 month old tabby and white male, Raffles. I can only take photos when they're asleep...

My Burmese kittens will be 6 months on January 27th and the vet has told me to make an appointment around that date for them to be neutered. She said that they prefer to hang on until they have "filled out a bit" and 6 months would be about right. She did say that we could bring it forward a...

I just wanted to take a moment amid the present wrapping and other Christmas preparations, to reflect, think quietly and remember Jimmy. Jimmy died peacefully, with the vet's help, one year ago today, December 18th, at about 6.10 pm in the evening. He had been suffering from CRF, but when I got...

Not only did I not survive the crash, but I've had the devil's own job trying to re-register. I've been trying on and off for a whole morning. I re-registered, no problem, then went out and tried to get back on later. It wouldn't accept my user name and password. I e-mailed for a "reminder"...
