Yep, we got two turtles and the cats used to knock the food over and scoff the lot..we keep it in a lockable container! Hope Finn sticks with the food and ignores the actual fish!:biggrin:
Male cat, Slash, (7), gets a whisked egg every evening and is very partial to raw sliced mushrooms..another, LeeLoo, (5), likes to eat uncooked spaghetti and raw red peppers, her sister, Frisky, eats a handful of rice Krispies maybe once a week and if you leave baked beans on a plate she'll...
Cheers for the reply, have booked her in to the vet as it's a recurring problem..of course now that I've made the appointment she's back to normal, massive hairball smack bang in the middle of the floor this morning! She's not a long hair but she sheds a lot, when stroked handfuls will come out...
My female cat Salem was tortured for a year with UTIs and bladder stones...our vet had to change antibiotics twice and she was on tablets consistently for two months to break up the stones so she could pass them. She would pee everywhere except the litter box as it was so painful, she became so...
Hi all, wondering if anyone can help..my cat Frisky (6) has been struggling with hairballs recently, she does that hawking/ coughing thing but keeps swallowing the hairball back down. She'll do this for about a week before it finally comes up but in the meantime her breathing becomes slightly...
Great, thanks! He's only been to the vet's twice so we've nothing to compare it to, none of my other 9 cats have ever had anything similar. Am glad it's actually quite common and hopefully it'll disappear in couple weeks, another trip to the vet would be an unwelcome ordeal for both of us!
Yep, she ain't going anywhere, you've officially been adopted! Persevere with the introductions to your other cat if you can, but it will take time and Squeaks may never take to her but might accept her around. I have two that HATE each other, never fight just completely ignore each other. But...
Hi! In reply to getting a new cat I say go for it! I have 10 cats and just from my experience it was always worse trying to integrate teenage or adult cats, kittens were always no problem. It was like they knew it was no threat, the odd swipe here or there but more of a " I'm sleeping stop...
I agree with jcat, had two cats myself who were nervous and they pulled their hair out or overcleaned to the extent that they developed bald patches. Turned out there were two feral males coming around their territory and freaking them out. If you haven't noticed bald patches around the legs/...
Thank you so much for the kind welcome, I'm still getting the hang of this and hoping to post some photos of the gang soon..everyone's pictures are so cute!
Hi NY Cat Man, I'm also a newbie and your thread stood out to me as we also have 5 feral cats, 10 in all. We were the same as yourself, didn't have to trap ours..all came and went as they chose and I think that helped with the settling in...I imagine the antics in your house would be much the...
