Hi all Hope everyone is well - I have not been on the site for a long time. Our cats have suddenly got fussy over the food they eat. We have now changed to another brand and they still won't eat. The bigger, younger cat is very grumpy about it - and when he gets hungry in this way, he attacks...

Hi all My wife and I have a very anxious blind 7-year-old cat. During the pandemic, we spent a lot of time at home and she got used to us being around. Now we go out more, and even when just one of us leaves, the cat hears the door close and gets anxious. She tends to grab a small teddy bear...

Hi all We have two cats - one is a blind 7-year-old who is somewhat nervous, and a playful two-year-old (who dominates the blind one a bit). The younger cat has started using the cat flap, after a bit of coaxing. But the blind one (who probably doesn't like the scent of her annoying feline...

Hi all We have just moved with our two cats, not only house but from Serbia to the UK. So quite a change for both of them! Both have adapted well, particularly the younger two-year-old. We live in a very quiet cul-de-sac that is cat heaven really, with a lot of trees, gardens and hardly any...

Hi all Apologies for the long title! Question... We moved with our two cats from Belgrade, Serbia to the UK countryside yesterday. An epic journey, more of which I will write about elsewhere. Surprisingly to us, the younger cat has adapted very quickly to his new home. The other one is going...

Hi I have a long journey with two cats, part of which involves 2.5 hours on a plane. I can take my cats on board but the transporter size is quite restrictive. But it does fold out to give more room ( see picture). After the plane ride I can put them in much larger boxes for the remaining car...

Hi - I am preparing for a long journey with my two cats, including a plane trip. I don’t want to drug them to calm their nerves, but I’ve been told that zylkene ( see picture) which is a natural remedy might be useful. Has anyone tried this? One question I have: I might want to try it out on the...

Hi I have two cozy fabric cat boxes/transporters for my two cats. We will shortly be doing a long journey involving cars and planes (around 16 hours) and the cats will be in their boxes. I have had the transporters around the flat, making them part of the natural environment. The cats would...

Hi all Not sure if this is the right spot for this post...but here goes anyway! I am a UK resident, currently living in Belgrade. I will shortly be traveling back with my two inherited Serbian cats. One is 6 years old, found (almost dead!) as a kitten, and is blind. She has never really left...

My mainly outdoor cat comes in some of the time, but I am thinking of bringing him in full time, but taking him out regularly on a leash. Any tips and advice for those who've tried this would be welcome. Thanks James

Thanks in advance for any advice I have written before about our cat situation and always received helpful advice. To recap: my wife and I, both from the UK, are currently living in a flat on a sixth-floor apartment block in Belgrade, Serbia. The flat backs on to a quiet, cat-friendly...

Hi all , and happy new year to you all! I was hoping to get some advice/reassurance. My wife and I have gradually been introducing a feral cat to our home - we have had him neutered and had some success with getting him to stay overnight (although him becoming friends with our existing cat is...

Hi I have an outdoor feral cat that I bring inside to our flat several times a day. I open the backdoor of the basement to the tenement block I live in, usually calling his name and clicking my tongue. He usually appears straight away (or is there already!). I have been doing this for about six...

Hi all Hi all Thanks, in advance for your advice, as always. I have explained (here) before that my wife and I share a one-bedroomed spacious flat in Belgrade. We have a blind 5-year old cat that lives with us. We found her on the streets when she was a kitten. She is quite nervous and has...

Hi all I have made a very warm and comfy cat box for the feral cat who lives in our courtyard! It should help him get through the winter. But I'm sure I remember reading somewhere that you can get heated pads for cats; you put them in the microwave and them stick them in the box and they should...

Hi all We use YouTube videos to calm our one year old when he comes back in the house. He loves chasing the ‘pretend mice’ etc, but is it frustrating when cats can’t actually catch things? Therefore how beneficial are these videos? Thanks James

Here are a few short videos showing how are cat introductions are progressing (or not!). The videos average about 20 seconds..so not long at all! Fleaso is the black cat; Bob is the tabby. Hope you enjoy (especially @di and bob, @ArtNJ, and @Elphaba09) Fleaso is blind and has trouble sensing...

Hi all Many people offered me great advice on introducing our two cats. I am particularly grateful tp @Elphaba09 and @ArtNJ I have just put up a sturdy cat gate between the two in our flat. We have had it in place for 2 days. That should help. We are trying to get Fleaso into good behaviour...

Hi all I have written here frequently and have been offered some great advice. I have one indoor cat, been with us for 5 years after being found on the street as a kitten (Fleaso) . She is blind and friendly to those she knows but is nervous, and veers between timid and aggressive at times. We...

Hi all I thought I'd done a good job of acquainting our outdoor cat to the indoors with a mixed tray of litter and soil from the courtyard - where he (still) spend most of his time. He used this tray straight away. But today, he bypassed that and peed... then later pooed, on the bed. My...
