Thank you for your lovely message. Nice coincidence that your cat was also called Mickey. I chose the name for him because when he was a kitten his ears looked huge and he jumped around like a little mouse. Compared to all the other cats and kittens I had over the years though he was still...

Thank you so much everyone for taking your time to write such kind and comforting words. This is a great website. I also want to thank all who are cat lovers, those who have one cat or several, it feels good to know that there are some lucky cats being well looked after. Love to you all.

No matter how many times I have lost a cat it never gets easier. Once more I had to make the difficult decision whether to put my beloved cat, Mickey, to sleep. On 20th July 2020 it became very apparent that it was time. Having this done at home felt the best choice for my little friend who...

Hello again, I want to thank you all again for the interest you‘ve shown and advice given. Unfortunately there was nothing the vet could do for Mickey and I had to euthanise him. He’s left a hole in my heart like all my other pets who had to leave me. He won’t be forgotten for sure, it will...

thanks for the excellent links, I’m going to print them out and keep them. I have tried hand feeding, he just looks away ☹️. He’s never had problems with swallowing though. Today it’s been hopeless, usually he comes to eat, even if he doesn’t end up eating, today not the slightest interest...

Yes, Mickey is a lovely boy, I’ve had him since he was a kitten off the streets. I opened the front door one day and he just walked in with one of his mates. I kept both of them at home. I’ve actually tried an appetite stimulant, I keep them for when everything fails, nothing seems to be...

thanks for your suggestions. We don’t get FFC pates here on the island of Malta. The choice isn’t too wide, I get the best I can, I have another two cats and a dog. Before I give Mickey raw fresh mince beef I always offer him another three different choices which he used to love. Failing...

Thank you for your response, you’ve given me a lot to think about. I've had Mickey‘s blood tests done three times in the last year but not very recently. The WBC was extremely high the first and third times, the second time it was slightly better. The two vets who saw Mickey both felt he had...

White Shadow, in reply to your question about Mickey urinating outside the box - around four days ago.

Thank you for your kind words. Sorry to hear about Jack. I had to put down my little Yorkie, Lucy, last year In February. I miss her terribly. Mickey sometimes gets into his litter tray, he does do it slowly though. I’ve put pee pads around the trays and these past two days has been using...

Thanks for your responses. The first time I took him to the vet last year was because he had stopped eating. Shortly after, I took him to the vet again because I noticed another couple of problems - he started having neuro (if that’s what I can call it) symptoms, usually when he got a little...

Hello, it’s been a while since I posted in the Cat Site, unfortunately I tend to post when I’m desperate, my apologies. my Mickey is 17 years old, just over a year ago his blood tests revealed very high WBC and the vet put him on a low dose of prednisolone. He was able to reduce the dose to...

Hi just wanted to let you know that Mickey finished his meds today and is back to his normal self prowling around the kitchen at feeding time, making sure the dogs don’t get fed before him! He seems to have put on some weight which I’m happy about. I’m keeping him on recovery food for a little...

Interesting.....and how funny is that!

neither am I.....same goes for anchovies!

Wow! Thank goodness I haven’t had many finicky cats! He was less choosy today although he expects a little sardine (I only give him a couple of teaspoons) in the morning which is what I’ve been using to hide his medicine in. Thankfully he also took some of his normal food today, I don’t want...

Thank you all again! Mimi is not the first tri-color cat I’ve had, I also had Katy and she looked exactly like yours Mamany. I find that these cats are usually female and are very friendly. My Mimi is really sweet.

Thank you! I’m very happy to have found TCS and my four babies are too!

Thanks again! He’s better today, a bit choosy with his food but meowing loudly to be fed! Go figure....

Hi, I came across TCS whilst searching for some info. about Giardia and decided to join. I live on the tiny Mediterranean island of Malta with my four rescued cats, one rescued Yorkie and another Yorkie given to me as a most-welcome gift! In the past I used to look after all the feral cats...
