a friend of mine just made a suggestion that i think is the answer - the new duvet was an unfamiliar item and probably carried an unfamiliar smell - so he was nervous and marked it.  No offence but i would rather get rid of the cat than have to live with a tarp over my bed. kudos to you for...

just today he is refusing to eat. The worm treatment i brought came in 3 sachets that are to be mixed with wet food. He reluctantly ate yesterday and has only had a nibble today. this is the first time he hasn't eaten.  I'm not quite sure how i can put my bed out of his reach - it seems to be...

No i haven't taken him to the vet - work underpaid me this month and i need to resolve that before i can afford it. In the meantime i am spending and doing all i can to resolve this situation. I hate it. Everytime i think he will be ok and we will be ok he does something to really upset me...

oh dear Gonga - that's terrible. Have the distractions helped? It's difficult to always have a toy at hand. Have you trimmed it's nails?  I'm really annoyed today. Despite the new litter tray, the new wand toy (and a few hours playing), despite the new scratch post my cat is still behaving...

I'd also like to congratulate you on what a wonderful community you have here. You have all been so lovey and supportive - and most importantly NON JUDGMENTAL!!!! You don;t understand (maybe you do) how important the latter is to me as a new pet owner. I has a really hard time on facebook when i...

Very reassuring to know it's not just me that seems to have adopted the Devil'd own spawn. Lol. I clipped his claws last night - he was actually remarkable cool about it. i have a scratch post winging it's way to me also.  Picked up a bigger litter tray today too, and some worming powder. the...

Thanks everyone i really appreciate the advice and encouragement.  I get really upset with myself for getting in a state about this. I know he's only a little kitty and learning but I know you know it is a lot to handle. I had a good cry cuddling him tonight feeling guilty about giving him the...

i have had him on water for two days now. The water level hasn't changed much. i will persevere.  Behavior isn't much better. i have ignored him when biting and scratching. distracted him. he still comes back. my legs are covered in scratches.  last night he managed to cover his litter tray...

i'm really chuffed for all the kind help here.  in fairness (maybe Murphy's law) he has been a beaut these last two days. very minimal biting. i have put out a variety of small card board boxes for him. he loves them :D  excellent entertainment.  what about the cat milk that supermarkets...

Wow thanks for the great advice everyone. I shall swap to water and worm him immediately. He hasn't been to the vet yet as I'm waiting for pay day. I use the little wood pellets for litter and he doesn't usually seem to have an issue. In fact he has been very good today. A second kitty...

I've had my kitten about 3 weeks now. He was a stray found on the street by a lady living a few streets away i met on Facebook. I love him to bits. he's gorgeous and can be very loving. he can also be horrible to me. I would like some advice on training his behavior please as i am starting to...
