Well said jennyranson. My point was the same, people will go for a night out and think nothing of what they are spending. There pet is left with no insurance to get on with it. It costs me £10 a month for full insurance on my two cats, not because of the breed but because they are part of the family. Some people do sicken me!

Incidentally my cat seemed to get over this herself and is running round like a kitten now. I suspect it was a sprain or similar. Of course cats have the ability to heal much faster than we do God bless my little angels.

Whenever my disabled husband is particularly ill they will go and lie around him on the bed! They know.

My cat Fuzzy is not like any other. My cat was recued and placed into our family by May. It was said to be born in somewhat February. Fuzz had multiple issues that kept adding and adding up. We took him in due to ring worm, diarrhea, mange, etc. It was so sad and we put him on medication each day. He soon left that sad spot and replaced it with a nice, playful, happy cat. This only lasted. We got him neutered sooner. He was still that healthy, happy cat, but soon worsened all over again with little things that added up like pooping on the floor in the restroom. We were tired of seeing this mess and later took him in. The vet subscribed some medication for that reason. Nothing happened, Fuzz only worsened. HIs fir is yucky and he never cleans it. Now he is not living his nine lives, but only his last. We are not seeing him play and scratch our dog in the face, but only love her for his life because he knew what we knew, he would have to die. :( We get an option, a really hard option that I need answers from right away before we make the wrong decision. A: Put him down to rest so he doesn't have to suffer the life that he has already.   B: Let him suffer like he has been his hole life without us knowing and let him live a little linger outside.

Lindsey I find your message hard to understand, but either way sounds as if your cat is either very unhappy or has problems. You should NOT follow option B, this would be highly cruel. The better option would be to take the cat to either the PDSA or a cat shelter and tell them you are stuggling to look after him. It may be that he just needs to be in a different environment, without a dog, where he can be happy.

How are your cats doing now?  Is it possible they ate something they shouldn't have?  Did they have food?  Water?  A litter box?  Was it hot?

It shouldn't be hay fever, but I would be concerned and trying to find a way to get them to a vet if they aren't eating by now.

Have you cat proofed your home? Think about what you would do for a toddler. Definitely don't leave knives around!

Do you play with her? She needs a constructive outlet for her energy.

Is she spayed?

​we will start cat proofing our home today but even if i tap her on the nose she bites an chews ur arm or fingers til she calms down.she is almost 6 months old an we are gonna have her fixed.i don't know what to use when she needs punished an I'm not sure what to try.i was thinkin maybe a squirt bottle would stop her from going on high places an smashing into things an keep her calm.i know its not her fault but I need to do something before she gets hurt.

Do not punish her. Cats don't respond. If she bites, put her down or walk away. Distract her with a toy. She
needs something constructive to do. A wand toy or a laser will get her running.

You should go ahead and schedule her spay now. You really, really do not want her to get out and pregnant.

You need to make your home safe for her. If there are rooms that aren't safe, prevent her from going in there.

She also needs to be spayed.  It may help with her attitude, but will certainly help with her health.
