Interesting about leather sofas. Some years ago we had a leather sofa and chairs. Cats never clawed it. My late husband was a big man and literally flattened one of the chairs and part of the sofa. Replaced it with a faux leather sofa about 6 years ago. It wasn't too expensive but now has...

I had the same problem when Oscar (former street cat, now indoor cat) escaped a few weeks back. He point blank refused to come in. We had to trap him. We did have a trap but it was broken so we had to buy a new one. Got one from Amazon for under £50. We finally caught our boy after 4 days...

That sounds very much like territory marking, similar to what Toms do. Female cats sometimes do it too. Did this start after you got the other cats, particularly the youngest cat?

He is lovely. I know it's not an original name but he is grey and white so I suggest Smokey. I notice in quite a few of the pics that he is showing you his belly. That is a sign of complete trust and love :redheartpump: Thank you so much for adopting him.

My cuddle buddy Tigger on my bed this morning. I got up so he decided he had to get up with me.

There's a backstory to Otto. I was asked to go and scan a kitten for a microchip. As soon as I was given the address, I knew who it was - my son's friend's mother. They lived in the next street to me. They couldn't keep the kitten as their own 16 year old cat hated other cats and she refused...

We rescued a senior street cat. Our vet thought she was 12/13 years old. She'd lived on the streets in a nearby Council estate and had been fed by people there. One got concerned that she would not survive another winter so I got called to help. She was in a sorry state when we got her. She...

Meet Otto our Tuxedo and doesn't he look smart? Yep. He's another rescue. He was sitting on my son's lap earlier tonight and got a good pic of him. He has lovely green eyes. He's the largest of our cats, has incredibly soft fur and little tufts on his ears. He also has a thick tail, not a...

Ah, but there's more. A few months later I was talking to my neighbour 3 doors down. Told her about Lucky. She told me that a week before I found Lucky, she'd also found a black kitten in her garden. Turned out my Lucky and her Berry were siblings. They are absolutely identical so some...

Here's a pic of one of my house panthers, Lucky. Named Lucky because he was lucky I heard him. I used to work night shift and was trying to sleep. It was around 5pm when I heard a kitten crying. It was the 6th of January 2016 and one of the coldest days of the year with snow and ice. I got...

Aw. He's lovely 😊😍

At first, when I read about the excessive tail licking, I thought perhaps a spinal problem like a prolapsed (slipped) disc pressing on a nerve and causing discomfort/pain. Reading on and looking at the pics, I think neurological. The teller for me was the second pic. Her left eye pupil is...

See you're in Scotland. I'm originally from Aberdeen but moved to Wiltshire, England almost 30 years ago. Our MP is useless. He can't be bothered even replying to emails. He is not local to the area the kittens were (Bradford) so most likely would not get involved. Bradford's over 200 miles...

He did and that will never change.

That's exactly it - supply and demand, people tend to look for a "bargain" and unscrupulous breeders exploit that. I've only ever had one pedigree cat, a Siamese and that was 40 years ago, long before the Internet. Even then, I chose carefully and wisely. I would like another Siamese but...
