Unfortunately no basement, but we plan to let them have a larger overnight space soon, but at the moment the other cat who is most nervous appears to like the small room we keep them overnight, and retreats to it regularly. Have a Feliway optimal plugin already. The cat trying to escape is...

They wake us up during the night and we have a 4 month old baby, so any sleep is valuable. Also one of the cats is trying to make friends with baby and risk she tries to sleep in the cot.

My indoor cats are kept shut in a room overnight, and has recently start getting a sore nose from pushing at the door. This started about two weeks ago at our old house and has continued at the our new house, we moved into a couple of days ago. When this behaviour started she had accidentally...

Thank you. Can you recommend any foods like that available in the UK?

Thank you - i don't think she is a cat who would easily accept her teeth being cleaned, but i can try once her mouth is healed up. Her kitten (who is now 3 years old!) appear to have a moment of revelation, 'oh it's you!', and recognised her this morning and gave her a little kiss. I had been...

Hi, I'd appreciate any suggestions to help keep my cats teeth healthy. She is 4 years old and had to have four teeth removed yesterday, and the rest got a good clean. The vet says her tooth problems likely to linked to having kittens and all that takes out of them (she arrived in my care...

We have done this for 4 nights now. They aren't too impressed but seem to settle, and a new extra soft bed on the table helps. I find it a bit hard hearing the mewing and some bashing at the door. I did try a timed feeder without shutting them out a while ago, but they just kept hassling me...

Hi, I would appreciate any advice on the best way to make a big change to my cats routine. I have two cats, a mother and her son who get on well, and are indoor only cats. I enjoy having them on the bed with me, but they wake me up very early each morning, and if one doesn't succeed the other...

Thank you. I think she owned me with those eyes from the moment I met her! When playing they get so dilated and wild looking!

I'm really puzzled to as to what could have happened. On the day I noticed it I searched for any evidence of disturbance, but could see anything. I put up an extended window ledge bed for them a few weeks ago and there is a small gap where a tail perhaps could have got caught. I've blocked it up...

Biscuit's tail continues to improve. She holds it more upright for long periods and wags the tip more. She even put her butt in my face - not something that I normally appreciate! She still has a kink in her tail and I sent pictures from yesterday to the vet We have an appointment tomorrow, but...

Yes she is a wonderful vet and very experienced - we are very lucky having her. Biscuit arrived in my life pregnant, and one kitten had leg problems - so this vet and thecatsite was a huge support during all that. She has a small practice, so uses another vets practice for out of hours, but will...

Thanks all. I sent a video clip to our regular vet and spoke to her this morning. She thinks bruising or abcess could do this. I doubt abscess as no obvious injury and she is very well in herself otherwise (and her son is extremely unlikely to have hurt her). Vet said xrays of tail often don't...

Thank you so much for your replies, I will keep a very close eye on her and call out of hours vet if still same in the morning or worse. Ideally I prefer to speak to our regular vet, as she is so experienced and the out of hours vet has caused some unnecessary stress to me and the cats before...

I just noticed today that my cat's, tail appears to be drooping, I think it was this morning too, but I didn't really register it. I arrived back a couple of days ago, from a holiday, and think she was fine then (I remember her sitting thrashing it and it upright and all hair on end last night...

I just wanted to give a quick update to share a couple of pictures, as the kittens are 1 year old today. All doing very well in their various homes. Biscuit and Leo still with me and they adore each other. Thanks again for all the help and support from this site.

I don't know if it is the same thing, but I had a kitten born with her legs out backwards and as she grew, they moved closer to normal, but kept slipping out sideways. Around three weeks, on the advice of a vet, I started very carefully tapping them together in a more normal position (the vet...

There are several threads with links to information about twisted legs (I'll try and find links and put them below ) . I had a kitten with swimmers back legs and she did extremely well with some tapping , on the advice of a vet, but she was very young and not quite same thing (but when...

Beautiful cat and kittens. Noticed mum appears to have a collar on - have seen other advise on here removing them, as some risk of kittens getting a leg stuck. Hope the smaller one is OK, and definitely weigh them everyday, as really help you see what's going on and intervene early if issues.

They are all still gaining, but quite common for they to plateau for a few days or so around this age mine all stalled for a day or so. So as long as no other symptoms and sounds like you are doing great job of monitoring their weight they should be fine. Not sure about litter, but I used wood...
