Apologies for dumping this here, but no one else around right now who will actually understand why I'm so upset. I just saw my neighbour's dog - a hulking great thing which attacks other dogs that pass the house and is never on a lead - return home from a walk with his elderly owners, and...

I'm not sure if this should be a nutrition thread or behaviour. Mitz occasionally goes through phases of spraying. He's the lowest in the pack and submissive to the other three, plus an 'emotional' type, easily bothered by routine changes, and I've gone through an elimination list of what might...

Just out of general interest, does anyone have experience of a cat with nystagmus? (Wobbly eyes). Mitz always has gone cross eyed when he gets excited or is concentrating on something nearby, and when he's looking at things close to sometimes I see one or both eyes start the up and down wobble...

Needing a rant here, I think my behaviour is the problem and not the cats! LOL I had the second lot of surgery on my knee last week, and my mother moved in with me to help out while I couldn't walk and was cross eyed on morphine. She left yesterday. This morning I went downstairs to feed the...

I was petting Vicket who is my elderly girl, and noticed on one side of her muzzle where a whisker used to be rooted she has a tiny furrless patch of skin, like a lesion. It's dry, not swollen or infected, she's happy to let me rub and stroke it and her teeth and jaw are ok, so nothing around...

I feel like awarding Mitz a medal. At two am this morning I heard him mewing urgently outside- I got up and leaned out of the window to call him, he came charging towards the catflap, and then I heard the giveaway THUNK of a cat climbing the fence, and Jake appeared behind him. Jake the...

Jazzie's growing while I watch (five and a half months old) and while she doesn't feel especially bony and she's got a good, round tummy under all the fur, I'm wondering at the moment if she's a little on the slim side. She eats like a horse and gets through the same amount the boys do- is it a...

I got up this morning to find someone- mentioning no names but I suspect Fish, who is a stray who depends on us for food/shelter at times, and can climb over the cat proof fencing around the garden to get into the house- had brought in an old chicken bone. And naturally one of my crew had picked...

This is incredibly, horrendously long. Huggles was kind enough to suggest I posted a tribute here to my two boys both of whom died last year- thankyou Huggles . And thankyou too to everyone else who's given me such a warm welcome. James was a beautiful red persian boy, who I first met when he...

Seriously excited- and probably posting in entirely the wrong place, I'm sorry! I just FINALLY managed to find a decent, interesting cat gym in the UK! I've been looking for weeks at the wonderful ones available in the US and thinking how much my gang would love them. Halleluia for Ebay and...

Hi I stumbled across this forum in search of help with my very new fourth cat, and wow! Happily reading through everything now! I live in Northamptonshire in the UK, with Victoria who was my first cat and knows it, she's ten and a silver tabby matriarch. Then there are my two nine month old...

My four month old ragdoll kitten came to live with us at Christmas, in a house of two nine month old ragdoll boys and my ten year old tabby. She's a timid character, although very loving and she and the boys adore each other, but the boys being teenagers are so boisterous that we had litter box...
