    Actually it is the cats who look after me as their small needs keep me mobile, and their love soothes the heart..

    Biting kitten - Bach Flowers?

    Six days is so short a time. It really is early days. One of the three street youngsters I took in last year took weeks to come to me fully. She would suddenly attach to my wrist, purring, for hours on end. Clinging desperately. But no way would she accept petting unless she initiated it. That...

    Sudden unaccountable violent aggression

    Thank you for this care. Nothing really fits though. My cats roam free as they want so there could have been a start of the aggression way back with no marks. Jacob is so laid back and a total wuss! Not a scrap of aggression in him, I cannot understand why it is just Jacob that is having trouble...

    Sudden unaccountable violent aggression

    Good afternoon from a small Irish island.. Seeking opinions etc on a situation with my cats. Although I have kept, bred and rescued cats for around 40 years this is a new thing to me. Around a year ago when my dog and one of my oldest cats died, I took in three young rescues. 2 girls, one boy...

    A Great Irish Rescue Lady...

    All I can say is... contact folk who are there to help. A passing stranger feeding and causing offence does more harm then good. Had I gone feet first re Stinkertom? It is against the law here to neglect cats but not your place or mine to do as you are doing? I have encountered this so many...

    A Great Irish Rescue Lady...

    I hear you and agree BUT you must remember how dirt poor and starving many Irish folk were until fairly recently. Cats have no commercial value and folk coiuld not afford to feed them or neuter them and this carries on. BUT if you google "cat rescues Ireland" and TNR Ireland you will see how...

    Stinkertom; Update

    Well, interesting indeed. I was on the phone to a neighbour as the emergency helicopter was in meaning an urgent hospital admission ( offshore island here) and we mentioned cats. He asked if "that other cat" was still around. Life in a tiny enclosed island community has certain refinements as...
