    Spot on cornea

    My ginger cat Derek has a small reddish brown fleck in his cornea. Not on the iris- it’s suspended in the clear part (you can see the shadow on the iris) I thought it might be a scratch or foreign body but it’s been there for a week. It moves with his eye. (Not floating around on the surface)...

    Best Cat Food

    I realise this has probably been covered elsewhere so if someone could point me to a related thread that would be great! Otherwise my question is simple... What should I feed my cats? They're 18months old and have been eating Hill's dry food all their lives on the vet's recommendation - But...

    Whistling

    I found some old threads on this but thought it was worth a revisit. Does anyone else have a cat that goes crazy when they whistle? One of ours will jump up, purring and nuzzling. She goes for your mouth, almost like she's trying to shut you up! ( I also had a cat when I was little that did...

    Kittens HATE the piano

    My hilarious kittens hate the piano so much they dive under the sofa if I play one note - then won't come out for a whole hour. They've been like this since they were born. Anyone know why, or what I can do to change their behaviour? It's really weird!! I want to play the piano again :(

    Kitten with blood on penis - but it's not a bladder/urethra problem

    Our kitten Derek is 6 months old. We took him to the vet when he was quite small with a bleeding penis. The vet said it was external trauma (as opposed to illness) and either he or his sister must have bitten it. Confusingly, the injury was hidden, i.e. inside the furry bit. - and difficult to...
