I only noticed his behaviour the other day. He used to have a collar with a bell but it broke a year or so back. He will be getting a new one! I've never seen the circling thing before, but I was sat with her when she got off the sofa so I watch her carefully now. I will keep an eye on his...

Oh, and I have been crouching on the floor, holding her tail gently and virtually catching the poo when it comes out (with a bag of course!) thus ensuring no stinky bum......what has my life become......:frustrated::p

So, a bit of improvement. I have remade the bed with the waterproof cover under the throw instead of on the mattress. Every time she moved, I had the light on checking! She's going in the litter tray when I put her in it, which is good news, then turning around and going back in to do her...

Update: bought some D Mannose for use after she's finished the meds.

Morning Well this morning after she had peed on my bed (my fourth duvet in 8 months) I got the medication down her throat. Popped it in, rubbed her throat and then gave her some water. Hadn't thrown it up by the time I went to work..... Bit of back story. She has been absolutely fine re...

Poppy is 5. We moved 8 months ago to a new build, no other cat smells. Fast forward 3 months, she started weeing on the carpets and the occasional poo. I've cleaned up ok every time and she is now restricted to the lounge/kitchen, and at night time she is allowed in my bedroom (she has wet my...

So, she's not allowed in the bedroom unless I'm there so spends the day on the sofa. But this means she stays there most of the night too :(. The antibiotics are doing her good so the next step will be a urine extraction which will be difficult as she's a bit of a porker. But just looking...

Hi our vet has a "sit and wait" system when they have no appointments. We waited 40 minutes. She's too fat to draw urine so she's back on strong antibiotics and also Loxiform, which my Mindy had for a minor wee infection. Unfortunately the Loxiform gave her the runs so I've stopped that. The...

Hi she usually has a hygiene trim for this reason but she's also recently had a lion cut - she's a lazy groomer and her back hair was a bit greasy and attracting dirt. She looks so utterly cute! I take her to a groomer so she gets the best treatment :)

Hi I am using an enzymatic cleaner and also bicarb. Today I've confined her to the living room/kitchen as I'm working at home and can hear her, and when I go to my other work at 5.30 I'll shut her in there. Shut them all in, as their litter trays, food and water are there so they'll be ok. I...

Hi Please believe that I have searched threads but I have particular issues here. Poppy is blind, 5 years old. She's adorable. We moved 5 months ago to a newbuild, I expected a couple of issues and got a few wet carpets. Easily treatable but annoying. She kept doing it so I took her to the...

Thank you. Poppy has the most dominance in the house even though she is blind, but it hacks me right off when they both whack her in the face. Meh. She has had Milo pinned down with a paw in his stomach - he is a BIG cat so that's a feat for my also big but fat cat!! Mindy is fine 95% of the...

Hi - I have Poppy, who is blind, and Milo, who is quite anxious. He is 2.5 years now. Poppy is 3. Last August they were joined by Mindy, who is 9 months old. She's an absolute nutty sweetheart and has bridged the gap between the two. All three are indoor cats. Anyway. Milo is bored. I'm...

She's not good at syringes. Last time, she shot up the stairs around the bed, over the bed, down the stairs and behind the sofa - not bad for a blind cat! I think I'm going to start by getting Mindy a replacement bell collar (she broke hers) so Poppy can hear her and not get stressed.

I can work some out with my fingers as well as cutting gently with nail scissors but these are really close to her skin. She's amazingly smooth and beautiful mostly, but all of a sudden the matting appears. My other long haired cat is silkier so he doesn't get any. She has music on all day as...
