Thats a good suggestion, thank you - I've been using their blankets but brushes makes a lot of sense! Wish us luck haha

Andys1988 - did everything resolve itself with your kitties after the scent had gotten back to normal? I was searching threads for stories like this as I had the same thing happen to me today, my girl kitty suddenly HISSED at Ari after he'd come home from an overnight vet stay but hes such a...

:lolup: haha!!! That's what I'm starting to realise... uh oh :/

Thanks so much for your feedback everyone. I guess I'll just have to wait and see...and probably to keep wading through fur til summers over (I live in southern Spain sooo from now until October! ) and invest in a better hoover!

Thanks, will definitely try combing first Ohhh my gosh they're GORGEOUS but wow, so fluffy! I thought a couple of shorthairs were bad enough! Another kitten just sort of appeared in our lives and moved in 2 weeks ago...shes not got long hair but her fur is a bit longer and fluffier feeling than...

They are indoor only (with balcony access) but my flat doesn't have aircon or proper heating (fun!!!) so there's a definite strong seasonal difference in temperature and humidity even inside... so my theory is that the heat has triggered their *proper* shedding to begin rather than just the...

Oh boo I was hoping there would be an end to the tumbleweed madness in sight they definitely shed lightly all year but it was manageable...the change in weather where i live has just caused a big increase! They get brushed every day almost even though they are short haired because they like...

My 2 boys (16 months ish) have just started shedding, slowly in the last week or so but more heavily the last few days. I'm keeping up with the little tumbleweeds of hair (Just!) But I'm hoping to hear some opinions on how long it takes for them to shed all that winter fluff? Its such a simple...

Yes it does seem to be getting a bit better by itself, thankfully! He's better at controlling when and where he goes already, I worried about him for days and as soon as i asked the question he started to get better...typical! :p

Yes he did seem to be leaving little 'puddles' and he did look very wet and sore. However he seems to be less wet today and in fact the skin is starting to dry out. He's due back at the vets this week so i will ask him about the antibiotics if he doesnt continue improving. Thank you! Is there...

No antibiotics as far as I know, but he's been dewormed etc. Will look into probiotic powder for him - thanks :D

It's Royal Canin babycat milk, powdered. They were eating some solids already before they came to me so vet advised to offer small amounts of kitten patè after their milk too and they eat everything straight down! The other 3 have totally normal kitten tummies now, just worrying about my...

I have 4 little kittens living in my spare room. I am fostering them for a local shelter. They were found in a bin at 3-4 weeks so no mum around (unfortunately in the country i live in that is depressingly common.) They were given cooked beef before they came to us (noooooo) so we've had a full...

One of my boys has a possible eye infection. Eye looks slightly pink and its runny but its clear discharge (with 'eye boogers' after naps!) He seems to be himself, eating like a piggy, drinking, playing and getting into trouble. He looks like hes holding his eyes shut slightly but they dont seem...

Thank you- it just seems like 8 days is a long time to still be a bit jittery!! We're trying to stick to our usual routine even though we have a visitor and no other new changes I don't think, so fingers crossed my boy will go back to his normal mad self soon :)

Has anybody ever had a confident cat take a fright and then become permanently more shy? Neither of my cats have been shy before. Theyre about 9 months ish i think. Last week we had a guy in to install some internet. In a series of unfortunate events, he dropped a box of screws and as he was...

They're gorgeous, and so lucky to have you <3 my boys had a bad start too, they were chucked over a wall into the garden of a cat rescue centre overnight when they were newborns with their sisters, who luckily also now have loving forever homes. I would love to know who dumped then just to ask...

Thank you for your replies everyone! Little Robin update - after seeing your replies I bought a little kitten feeding syringe and drive home from work feeling sick about feeding her. I got her vets number and planned to call when they reopen after siesta (I live in spain). I opened up her safe...

Hello, thanks for your replies! She'll eat one or two treats and then a few little bits of her dry food straight after if I put them in front of her (almost like while she can still taste the treat), but that's it. So her tummy isn't completely empty but she can't go on much longer, we're...

Hiya, I hope this belongs in the 'nutrition' forum, its a food/behaviour question! I have a temporary foster cat in my spare room (well away from my two resident kitties.) She is very, very stressed from the changes. She seemed quite bright and curious when her owner dropped her off as they...
