Hi there I know thar some wild cats urinate in running water to conceal their scent. If medical causes have been ruled our and if your cat is feeling insecure after the accident, maybe this is a behavioural issue to pee where she knows there us running water as she wants to drop under the radar...

Hi there An airtag uses the blue tooth network, so it relies on people having their blue tooth function activated. For rural areas this isn‘t always so good as if they cat gets away outside your bluetooth range the bluetooth users may be far and few between (as sparsely populated). GPS can be...

Hi there Whereas of course it could just her being grumpy, especially if this was the case in the past, it could also mean a physical pain/discomfort response if not directly then maybe indirectly if she was feeling somewhat under the weather anyway. We all tend to have a shorter fuse if we‘re...

Best bet is to sit when peeing.😉 Apart from protecting those golden nuggets from feline predators, according to some sources it has health benefits and is easier (and much more pleasant) for those who have to clean (around) the toilet too😂.

@ mrsgreenjeans - 😂 I suppose the black soldier fly larvae are still lucky we haven‘t started using them as one of our main food sources yet😉 . But tbh I find the idea of killing any sentient beings as a food source quite a dilemma. And I‘m hypocritical because I also (very rarely) eat meat...

Hi mrsgreenjeans! Of course, here in Germany we actually have quite a selection of insect protein brands. They all use the black soldier fly (hermetia illucens) as the basis of the product. So far I’ve been using the product from Herosan Healthcare (which is actually based in Austria). This is...

Hi there So sorry you‘re going thru this.. I‘ve skimmed over your thread and of course my situation is different (I only have one cat, she is still young (now 3) and being in Europe cat food possibilities are considerably different too. But this is my story with cat diarrhea and what helped...

Hi again Thanks for all the updates! . - I‘ve been having ongoing problems with the „purraise“ button and am pretty tight with time, so the only thing I‘m mostly able to do is give the thumbs up which means of course I’m not always able to give an appropriate response and postpone then to a...

Hi there Been following this thread from a distance. Wow - You‘re doing an absolutely amazing job and I can totally understand how stressful this must be BUT I can really see that Billy is coming round. You‘re making really good progress😺 And you’re in great hands here at the cat site with Kwik...

Hi there, Being a scottish fold, she is susceptible to a whole list of health issues especially Osteochondrodysplasia to some degree. The disease is evident on x-rays of cats from as young as seven weeks of age. Serious abnormalities in joints and bone growth lead to arthritis (painful...

Sorry just realised what you said at the end of your entry - looks like for her size matters to trigger her need to drown😉😺- so somehow she feels the bigger toys maybe need to be shown how to be respectful and assimilate in the queen‘s territory? Whatever the reason it‘s quite an interesting...

Hi there Maybe she‘s claiming it as her own through trying to neutralise the scent of a new object by getting it wet or she thinks drowning her prey is the final part of the kill?😺 Does she take familiar objects for a dip in the fountain too, or only new things?

Hi there Yes, wasps are a big summer worry for me too. I have an (ex) semi-feral who being somewhat streetwise can usually differentiate between bees/wasps/hornets and flies. The latter will be chased down and anhilated if in the house - no mercy😺, whereas bees/wasps and the like are ignored if...

Some cats wisely know what to avoid just in case. In feral colonies you sometimes see cats totally avoiding cats that are scratching themselves (or sick). My little ex semi-feral totally avoided my sheepskin rug for a couple of years. What did you treat the floor with? Maybe alternatively your...

Hi there Glad he‘s doing better☺️ Just a quick question - does he have access to any grass which is important for cats to naturally aid their stomach purging process and digestion?

Hi there - what do you have on your floors? Just a thought but if it’s carpets some cats with external parasites seem to instinctively want to avoid fabrics…

Hi - Freya was so lucky to have found you and that you are taking such good care of her. 😻. She‘s beautful and looks so happy! I still maintain she looks extremely like any Maine Coone I‘ve ever seen, again in my very amateur view I‘m not sure what the thinks as being Persian traits🤔 - but...

Hi there Additionally cats also have scent glands at the base of the tail and on the tail which release pheromones. So if your cat likes you, gettting a rub there will transfer even more of her scent on to you, as when she rubs her cheek onto you. So there are quite some incentives for enjoying...

Yay! That‘s great news! 😺🥳

Hi there If she‘s a skittish cat any comings and goings/noise during the day will probably keep her in hiding in the crawl space or elsewhere. The good thing is, she knows how to come home and she‘s done it before. I really think that at you said - apart from settimg a trap, leaving the door...
