Morning! I am so so so happy to hear that you have found one of your cats :redheartpump: What a relief for him and you. Really hoping that you find the other one soon. Keep us posted.
Yes you're so right about the snake thing. I had a kitten who got a bit too up close and personal with an Egyptian cobra (on full attack, hood out etc) and she just swatted him off and lived to tell the tale. I almost did not!!
And good point re the late neutering and a reason he is still...
I really feel for you, knowing what has happened would be so important to me. I was just about to ask if you had been able to get people out to look for him, but see that you had some local kids scouting the area. I've done that in the past, with our farm workers - our house has nothing around...
Good morning! I'm perhaps north of where you are? I'm in northern Tanzania, up on the Kenya border. It's good to see another Africa person here but I'm so sorry to read your post. I know what you mean about 'an in-between state' as you wait for him to come home or to know what has happened. Like...
Morning. Hopefully you can find a vet that does house calls? I always hate taking any of our animals to the vet, and we do have one chap that will come here if you cover fuel costs as well. We have quite long distances to go too, which doesn't help, but it's good that my husband is quite adept...
Can the same be said for dogs? We have dogs, and I love them dearly...but I guess my husband would say he is more attuned to them and I the cats.
We have flea and tick issues here too, it's easy to get the spot-on products like Frontline, but I think - after a while - they become less...
I am slightly envious of all of you (although totally appreciate the hassles that snow brings). I am a Brit girl, born and grew up there, but have lived in Africa for 30 years. We have no snow. We don't have the four seasons that I love about Europe. We have hot and dry, hot and wet, cold (and...
I grew up in London, and we had cats, and I worried hugely about the roads all around us; I remember we 'trained' them not to go on the road, by making loud noises near it and so they mostly stayed in the gardens behind all the houses (long surburban rows of houses). I know my sister (in the UK)...
I am very new to this group, only a few days, but I am overwhelmed and so reassured by the amount of support, knowledge and...well, just care and empathy and understanding. I think that everyone here has been through something similar, if not worse and - most importantly - they know how we all...
The video is here:
I literally had it running all afternoon, it's very soporific - we all fell asleep :lol:
I've only had litter trays in the house when the cats are a bit sick or with our very old boy - he became incontinent. I have no idea where our cats go to use the loo, it's all a bit of...
