    Grooming a shorthair

    Hey, Had Nalah for several years now and her shedding has gotten a lot. My family keep complaining that her shedded fur just covers their clothes even if she just walks past. I've tried brushing but she just doesn't sit still. My mum is considering bathing her but not sure if that works or...

    Cat losing a little bit of weight

    Hey, this is a simple question. Nala (now 2 years old) has been losing some weight recently, only by some grams but it's noticeable, a bit like she's gained definition? She was 4kg last time we checked so she's hovering around that and 3.8-3.9kg. Her fur is a bit more scruffy as she's also...

    Cat Overweight After I’ve Been Away For A While!

    Not sure where to put this but I’m pretty raging. Some of you may recognise me and I just came back from 5 week trip to Kenya for a family emergency and I’ve just gotten back. My cat, Nala, is 2x her weight when I left her. Evidently, my family have been over feeding her ie. stepdad gives...

    Lonely Cat At Home :(

    I left my cat at home whilst I went abroad for an unavoidable family emergency. My stepdad lives at home too so she’s not alone but he’s not really a cat person. He just makes sure she eats and fills up her boa My cousin is cleaning her litter tray and also cleaning her bowls and might give her...

    Why Is My Cat Terrified Of Other Cats?

    So my 1yo moggie is terrified of other cats. She is a homebody, not by choice. I keep her in as I don't trust her not to go to the main road which is about 3-400m away. She went missing about a month for an afternoon till the next morning. She must've got stuck or someone kept her in? I don't...

    Cat: I Want Freshly Opened Wet Food Or Nothing!

    So, my cat has somehow got me to open packets of wet food almost every time even though she still has perfectly moist and edible wet food in her bowl which she usually keeps for snacks to go back later. So, I give her a bit more, sometimes she finishes the bowl and sometimes she just leaves a...

    9mnth Kitten Squinting + Eye Boogers

    So my kitten has now started squinting her left eye and her right eye is all fine and bright. However, her left eye is always squinting and it’s been like that since today and yesterday. I thought it was because she was getting sleepy/woke up from sleep but that wouldn’t last for as long as it...

    Let Kitten Out For The 3rd Time And Then This Happened...

    So Nalah is 6 months old now, she's been spayed, recovered well and it's been a month. So I decided to let her out into the garden. She gets really upset when the garden door or the window is closed so I thought she wouldn't stray out of the garden. She was all well and good. The first two...

    Emergency Trip - Need To Introduce 1 Year Old With 7 Month Kitten Asap

    I have a emergency trip coming up soon and I need to find someone to look after my cat. I don't trust my step father as he works all sorts of hours and my brother will be with my auntie. I don't think my auntie has any experience with cats at all and she's scared of them so it's a no go. I have...

    5 Month Kitten Has Crusty Bum

    So, my kitten has just been spayed last Wednesday; I don't think it's relevant but still. Yesterday and today, I've found a some poo crusts stuck on her and every time I try and touch it with some baby wipes, she moves away. I'm not sure if it hurts but it's stuck to her hairs which may be why...

    5 Month Kitten Runs When Door Opens And Gets Locked Out

    So Nalah has been doing this thing for a while now that she just walks out or runs out when we open the front door. Anyone who's not familiar with her would just close it behind her thinking she was inside. Last night, my step dad came in from a night shift so it was dark and she ran out and had...

    Persuading To Get Another Cat/kitten For My 5mnth Old Kitten

    I really feel broody for one more addition but my mother, who isn't a fan of animals, is against the idea. Sooo, surely it's best if I asked the fellow feline enthusiasts for advice? Plus, I already have made a plan on how to introduce them - Pick up the rescue kitten/cat - Place them in my...

    Am I Too Worried/hyperaware Or Should I Call The Vets?

    My kitten, Nalah, who's 3 months got in a bit of an accident on Thursday evening - UK time btw. I took her to the vets right away and there they treated her overnight after giving her oxygen and x-raying her for any broken bones and discharged her as she was all healthy. When I brought her...

    How Long Did It Take For Your Cat To Be Comfortable With You?

    I have adopted a 11 week kitten when she was 9 weeks from a family friend who previously got her at 7 weeks old. I don't know why she was taken that early but at least, she'll be with me indefinitely. I have had her for 2 and a half weeks. She's gotten used to the house and loves playing and...
