Yeeeeeeey! In that case, go ahead and wash all bedding and all that stuff and hopefully it will stay gone. So glad this had a good outcome for you and the little man

Haha, well sometimes that's all it needs, I guess. Especially for wounds, unless it needs stitching all they can do is clean it up unless it's infected or not healing properly. But they will know which ointments to use and have ones that are safe for use on animals. And they might have...

Okay, good luck! I hope you can persuade them. Why are they so against vets?

Aw, well fingers crossed for the little man. Just be careful. Do all you can to make sure he doesn't eat it as obviously it's not designed for use on animals and you don't want him to ingest anything that could be dangerous. It's not ideal. Have you made any headway with your parents and getting...

Haha, considering how little he likes strangers and cat carriers it would have been an amazing feat if they had managed to steal him!

Spent a long time looking for Chief following a visit from my parents

Oh dear, bless you. Hopefully they'll let you go soon. At least it doesn't look worse, his immune system might kick in but being so little he doesn't have much to fight with yet. Let us know how he does!

Oh no! Bless his heart. How bad is the allergy? I so hope you can sort something and keep all of your babies happy! Cat World magazine did an article on just this a couple of months back. From what I remember the article said that the most common allergens are cat saliva and dander from their...

OOOH, that's great! I'm sure they'll use it once they're used to it being there. You know they're creatures of habit! They have their paths around the kitchen I expect, but once it's been there for a while hopefully they'll use it to get about My other half and I just bought our first place so...

Aw, no problem! There are some things you can do to try and manage his begging for food: slow feeders and licky mats stop them wolfing food down so fast and hopefully therefore help them feel full longer, and playing with them for a good half an hour prior to feeding will make them feel like...

That sounds hard! If possible, it would be best to get the boys fixed too. Being upneutered puts them more at risk of serious health conditions like FIV and FeLV because they will go out and breed and, most likely, fight. It also means that the stray kitten population in your area will increase...

Oh my goodness, he is so gorgeous! :lovecat3: My boy Chief was a picked up as a stray when he was just a kitten, and he also has an apparently insatiable appetite! I can't even open the fridge, he will literally climb in there. Speaking to other people I think it's quite normal.

Oh poor lady! Could it be stress? Have you tried feliway? Did she have a complete check up at the vet? An underlying health condition could explain the sudden weight loss, and if she's uncomfortable she may over groom. Though you did mention behaviour medication. Was that some kind of sedative...

Might be worth checking out this video from Kitten Lady about looking after kittens with ringworm:

Could it be ringworm? You can buy over the counter anti fungal cream for it, but as @FeebysOwner says you don't want him to eat it! Ringworm is infinitely hard to get rid of, very contagious and contact spread, and it can spread to humans, so might be worth getting some cream for yourself too...

My boy only has the one eye, but it's big and gorgeous enough to make up for the loss of the other one! Handsome fella :lovecat:

:crackup: How funny! I'm sure sometimes they're just trying to come up with new ways of making us look silly

Aw, she is beautiful! Have you tried leaving just a tiiiiny bit of dirty litter or a little lump of poop in her box? The rest of it will be clean so she should still be happy to use it, but leaving a bit of the smell there might prompt her to go there rather than elsewhere in your house. Worked...

Oh no! Please don't stress. Are you only multiplying by 0.8? That's the amount for weight loss, rather than the 1.2 to maintain the weight of a neutered cat. Obviously it's only a guideline, not professional veterinary advice, and it depends on her activity levels. If she is an indoor cat or...

I love some black cat appreciation! Here's a picture of my handsome boy Chief :dancingblackcat:
