our two cats hate being picked up, so we use it as a method of saying 'unacceptable behaviour' when one launches an all out unprovoked attack on the other which results in screeches of pain. Snatching the cat from the ground and holding him tight for a few minutes gets the message across, the...

thanks for the swift response. Yes, Kai wears a tuxedo well, very big white chest - never thought of it that way! I'll tell him he's changing into a mature cat. That means he can stop being a grumpy young cat and start the long process of becoming a grumpy old cat. He has a series of grunts that...

Kai has many white hairs showing through the black, is this normal? Mainly above his nose, which was a deep black, and round his legs, as if the white is bleeding into the black. We estimate his age around 3 1/2, the previous 'owner' had him from a kitten but has no idea how old he really is...

kibble - the amount we put in the bowl doesn't anywhere near cover the bottom of the bowl. They get either Purina's Go-Cat or James Wellbeloved Turkey biscuits. I plan on switching them to James Wellbeloved House Cat biscuits when they finish this packet. 1/4 of a cup, no, nowhere near. Kai is...

looking for a little advice, please. It seems my cats should have 210 calories a day. They have 150 calories of wet food and a small handful of kibble. So... how come they're overweight by about two pounds each? They are house cats but they race around and play. And... with that limited a diet...

we're currently putting our Burmese baby on a diet. if I tell him enough times, the word will get through, it means, no you can't go finish Kai's meal just because he didn't want it - strict monitoring going on now. They get a bowl of wet food twice a day, virtually no treats, a very small...

their names are Kit, ka KitKat or Kitsie and Kai, aka Mr Grumpy Boots. He's 3 years younger than Kit, but acts like an old cat determined 'these youngsters won't have fun' and leaps on him to stop the play. When I am with one, I will tell them they are the No 1 Cat, likewise when I am with the...

we have a complicated lifestyle, I go to bed at10, to wind down from the day. Us oldies do things like that. Daughter goes to her boyfriend's for the evening, coming home later than that. So... by the time she arrives home, one cat has stolen my chair (for the umpteenth time) and the other cat...

for the past three months our Burmese, Kit,  has been giving my daughter wet sloppy kisses. She's been showing off that Kit hasn't kissed me yet. Well, now he has, he was standing on me at the time, ready to turn round and lie down, when he reached up and gave me a soggy kiss. So I'm finally...

when we knew that at some point the two cats we have would actually come and live with us, we began making plans. Our home is long, very long. It's Victorian, it's over a shop so it runs in a straight line from the shop itself, through the store and out the back. There's also an upstairs, so...

Paris, sidelining, thanks very much! I've been here 22 years, it is so much home I never think of going to the mainland for anything! The cats are island born.

Bitiba are a very long way from the Isle of Wight, I just checked, they're in Bedfordshire, way way up country. They do bulk foods, 5 kg at a time. I prefer boxes, no matter what the cost, because faddy cats quickly go off something.  I guess we go on sweeping up after the demon 'burying' is...

thank you! He's been doing this since he arrived with us 10 months ago. He has a varied diet, I make sure they get both fish and meat as wet food and a variety of flavours for biscuits in between, as well as the occasional treats. They have catnip toys, a wonderful Catsite person suggested...

we've accepted scratching but our Kit, the Burmese cat, is busy licking anything wooden, table, chairs, ornaments, and we are concerned that the varnish may be damaging, as well as the damage he is doing to our furniture and ornaments. That rough tongue could move concrete, I swear it would! We...
