No trucks round here and the nearest restaurant is at least 2 miles away. As I said, we don't think she actually leaves the garden. We thought of tree sap as there are Monkey Puzzle tree logs at the top of the garden, seasoning before being used for wood turning. However, the resin from them...

If I tell you that we have friends who visit us on a regular basis over the last 9 years who have never actually seen Jemma, then you will realise just how timid she is. When our daughter and family visit, Jemma will not come into the house for 3 days after they have gone, except to snatch a bit...

Thanks. We wondered if the stuff was from a tom? She is neutered, but we still get visitors every now and then. Unless she has changed her habits recently, she does not go outside our garden (fairly large). The only time we have seen her elsewhere was when she was spooked by the unannounced...

Thanks. The mat is well away from her skin. As I said, she has very thick fur. One problem is that she cannot groom herself on her back. She cannot reach it. She does have some back issues in terms of suppleness. At the moment she is fast asleep on the couch in the Living room, where she...

Our semi-feral cat has returned home this morning and yesterday morning with patches of extremely stiff, matted fur on her back. It has no smell, is not sticky, but not soluble in water either. We cut off yesterday's lumps, (not well received, but not a problem in that she has very thick fur at...

Thanks again, mods and responders. Bit of a problem in that we have never found any treats that she will eat. Not even fresh salmon. Odd, but none of our three will eat anything but their own food. Strange animals. Tried them with all sorts of things, they sniff them ,turn up their noses and...

Thanks. Will probably have to get something from the Vets when we take the others to be micro-chipped before moving. Never needed to here as there are no other cats within miles and bodies are never found thanks to the local badgers, foxes, crows and other scavengers. We think she remembers...

We are going to be moving house soon. Our youngest cat goes hysterical with fear when she has to go in a cat box (taking her to the Vets makes her vomit and have diarrhoea). Are there any sedatives available in the UK which we could give her before we try to taker her? TIA.

We are hoping to move house sometime in the new year. Now I know about making one room a safe room for them with their things in it. Can do that no trouble. The problem is that Jemma refuses point blank to use a litter tray. Worst of all on the odd occasion when we have kept her in overnight...

Bill and Ben are curled up in front of a log fire, snoring like good uns. Jemma is out in the garden hunting which is her night time thing.

Jemma likes to watch the dishes being washed and dried.

This is a good pace to look if you want to know if something is a Scam or not. http://www.snopes.com/info/whatsnew.asp

Hannibal (that was his name as he answered to Horrible animal and we had to find one which sounded the same) was dosed regularly with tablets to rid him of worms etc. He was a great rat catcher as well as mouser and we have no doubt that he ate rabbit, hare and squirrel too. I suppose it is...

The cat which lived with us for some 18 years absolutely hated being indoors. He would dig his way out if forced to stop in. And it did not matter what the weather was either. He would sleep inside all day, but come the night, off he went. Snow, hail, rain gales, he did not care. Some cats are...

If we had done that to Mytton (our 'barn cat') she would have had a major panic attack and we would probably never have got her in again and undone all the good approach work I am betting it would be the same with this cat too. You really do have to be patient and let the cat decide that it is...

Sadly I doubt we would ever find her again. There is access to our neighbours roof space, so she could go a long way. Also the mice are in the small space between the roof tiles and the ceiling and if she got down there it would be very hard to get her out. The space is filled with insulation...

I have been going up in to our roof space the last few days (mice have got in) Guess who would liked to have helped catch them? . She was actually staring at a fly which came down from the loft.
