Poppy is 5. We moved 8 months ago to a new build, no other cat smells. Fast forward 3 months, she started weeing on the carpets and the occasional poo. I've cleaned up ok every time and she is now restricted to the lounge/kitchen, and at night time she is allowed in my bedroom (she has wet my...

Hi Please believe that I have searched threads but I have particular issues here. Poppy is blind, 5 years old. She's adorable. We moved 5 months ago to a newbuild, I expected a couple of issues and got a few wet carpets. Easily treatable but annoying. She kept doing it so I took her to the...

Hi - I have Poppy, who is blind, and Milo, who is quite anxious. He is 2.5 years now. Poppy is 3. Last August they were joined by Mindy, who is 9 months old. She's an absolute nutty sweetheart and has bridged the gap between the two. All three are indoor cats. Anyway. Milo is bored. I'm...

Poppy is the beaut in my profile picture. By way of background, she's 2.5 years old and blind. Poppy gets terrible matting in her fur. One day she's fine then the next there's matting which go down to the skin. She's now very good at letting me work some of them out but historically has had...

I am getting a new kitten in two weeks. I've been interacting with her/the mum since she was born so she's familiar with me. I have two cats - Poppy, blind, two and a half and Milo, nearly two. Both are big cats. He is 6kg and not fat, just tall and long. Poppy is 7kg but fat and of course...

One of my two cats has vomited brown liquid, but I have no idea which one as they are both presenting as well (as well as they usually are, anyway!). Should I just monitor them to check their appetite? I have a feeling it might be Milo as Poppy is constantly grazing dry food and there were no...

Ok. Poppy went to have her nails cut yesterday and the vet weighed her. 7.12kgs!!! Ouch! She is two years old. Milo is 18 months old and weighs just a bit less but he is rangy and muscly. Now. Poppy is blind so she can't exercise and run around the house as much as Milo (they are both...

Hi Poppy is nearly two years old, she is also blind (not from birth). She's my baby :hearthrob::redheartpump: Three weeks ago she was unwell; lethargic, cold, not eating and vomiting. She received vet care and recovered thankfully. This Monday just gone she was sick again but recovered...

Over Saturday night Milo had a bad bum but is fine in himself (although I thought him a bit off his food). He is still producing soft stools and is long haired so that's fun.... More seriously, I got home on Monday to find Poppy had been throwing up all day (she was fine at 7.30am) and the...

I've been told that at 6kg and at 18 months old, Poppy is overweight (even though she is part Maine Coon). Bad cat mum! Milo is a year old and tbh he could do with possibly losing a bit. They are both very fluffy so it's hard to judge just looking at them. However, Poppy is now blind so...

My little weirdo Milo has an alarming new habit. He's 11 months old and indoors. Every now and then he gets the zoomies but is now finishing it by sitting on the chest of drawers and hissing. I've heard him hissing at nothing before. All this is very recent and it worries me that Poppy is...

Hi! Poppy is 17 months old and has lost her sight, Milo is 11 months old. They are indoor cats and I work full time. I'm not worried about them during the day as when I've had a day off they'll either sleep or potter. But when I get home I just can't get Poppy to play. It's been SO hot...

Hi all. My cats are both indoor cats. I have Poppy, 15 months old, who has lost her sight and Milo, 9 months old, rude health and very bouncy. Except in this weather. I need tips for playing with them in this god awful heat in the evening, as at the moment Poppy is up so much at night that I...

Hi. My 14 month old Poppy has sadly lost her sight. The ophthalmic vet tells me that she has retinal degeneration. She has adjusted remarkably well and although she seemed to go through a depressive stage, she has come out of it and it's almost like she is aware that I know about her sight...

I've just found out that my Poppy (13 months) is very nearly blind. I've been worrying about her for a while as her pupils were almost always dilated, and the vet has confirmed my fears. Next stop, ophthalmic vet. However, she can see the laser toy in the dim/dark (but not in the light) and...

Poppy is my 13 month old beauty shown in the my profile picture. She's an indoor cat. For a while now I've noticed her eyes are almost permanently dilated unless in sunlight. She is clumsy too. The vet looked hard at her eyes the other evening and concluded that she is partially sighted. The...

Poppy is one on Sunday. Her vet has told me she needs a diet..... When she was a solitary kitten, she would eat her wet food over a period of time then nibble on dry. Since Milo came along in November, he hoovers up the food so she doesn't get a chance to eat a lot (she'll have a few...

Morning. My Poppy (one year old next Sunday!) likes to drink water from my fingers. I noticed yesterday that the back of her tongue seems a bit grey. Panic stations!!! She drinks a fair bit of water but I put this down to her preferring dry food over wet. She has a good appetite. She has...

I'm in the UK. Can anyone recommend a harness (not a material wrap around one, but straps) where the lead is not halfway down the body, but closer to the neck? Last summer I used to let Poppy out with a harness on and when I tried to lead her, she fell over because of where the lead is...

Some of you may have seen my threads about Poppy (10 months) and Milo (4 months). I've done some digging and worked out that she hasn't really played since Milo arrived; she doesn't make eye contact at close quarters with me; she goes under the bed and drawers more; she doesn't tend to "play"...
