    Going Away On Holiday For The First Time

    Thank you! Are your cats indoor only or do they normally go out?

    Going Away On Holiday For The First Time

    Hello cat people! I have two lovely kittens, around 9 months old who are pretty much like siblings despite having met about three months ago. They are both very attached to me, and I to them. Often they both prefer just sit near me in my study, watching me, rather than go out or go about their...

    Is A Complete Dry Food Diet Okay For My 6 Month Old Kitten?

    I believe the vet was referring to other ingredients such as preservatives, gums and similar which come with E- numbers. Food Additives | European Food Safety Authority

    Giving Back My New Rescue Cat?

    Thank you!! I did indeed like this forum and I find it fantastic to be able to read other's experiences and thoughts. I even found a great discussion about hiking with cats ;) I agree, the level of work required for indoor cats is, I find, greater than commonly portrayed. By the way, in the...

    Giving Back My New Rescue Cat?

    I get your points kittens mom. I don't think a shelter would deny a kitten to someone on the basis that in four months' time she may be hit by a bus (metaphorically speaking) :) But definitely I could have been given better advice and everything would have been smoother, easier and nicer. I...

    Giving Back My New Rescue Cat?

    Really everything was portrayed in an all too simplistic way to me, but I the place I got the cats from (except the black devil) is like a private shelter ran by a food hearted lady who actually gave some bad advice when the previous second cat was being introduced just because he owns twn cats...

    Giving Back My New Rescue Cat?

    Thank you both. I decided from the start that this was indeed the second and last attempt, and despite my difficulties I believe I got incredibly lucky as well. And again no worries kittens mom, I like your replies and agree with your statements :) As for myself, I am indeed going through a...

    Giving Back My New Rescue Cat?

    Thank you, it's always good to read your thoughts and experience :) It concerns me that after these few days together and an apparent initial improvement, it is now clear that my kitten will never improve much further :( As the novelty seems to be wearing off, they are also engaging less in...

    Giving Back My New Rescue Cat?

    I have now a big question. The two kittens are getting along very well although I have seen no grooming and they appear to prefer resting in different rooms with occasional visits to each other during nap times. It seems my kitten is a bit more keen on searching for and playing with the female...

    Giving Back My New Rescue Cat?

    I tried to mention it but she is too afraid and the son is trying to convince her to stay pet-less. I can see her son's points including the fact that he wouldn't be able to take the cat should the lady have health issues or worse, because he got an cat already and she is one of those single-cat...

    Giving Back My New Rescue Cat?

    Thank you both. I did not explain properly. The old lady hopes the female will be happy here and that my final decision after the two weeks' trial we agreed on will be to keep her. If I don't or anything goes wrong she would take the kitten back and try her best to learn to deal with the kitten...

    Giving Back My New Rescue Cat?

    I did ^_^ Unfortunately, she is keen on not taking another cat. The only one she'd have is this female kitten back because she misses her and cries and keeps worrying about her.

    Giving Back My New Rescue Cat?

    Thank you! ^_^ And no worries, I did not take your words as criticism but as observations, besides I myself pondered on whether I was anyhow holding him back :) I am quite glad they are getting along well indeed. She is slowly calming down a bit and he is being more active which is ideal for...
