I'm going to say this gently with absolute respect, but I see no reason for you to be guilty. Harley had what sounds like a great life; she was given a place to pass as soon as she was born, but she lived to 16! You and your husband cared for her, and you made a very difficult choice with her...

Another Percy! It really is a great name :lol2: I wonder; how do you react when he jumps on you? Do you feed him after? I would be trying to show him you're hurt and you don't like this; perhaps a high pitch cry like a kitten would. I'd be avoiding playing with him/feeding him, or engaging with...

Hi @amk3290, welcome to CatSite. I hope you can appreciate that people here are trying to help; please don't feel attacked by what I'm going to say below. It sounds like you're tired, and quite annoyed with your girlfriend's cat. understandably, working two jobs and having your sleep messed up...

If you think something's wrong, work on the principle of what causes the least amount of damage. No harm can come from taking him to the emergency vet, and they say he's ok to wait. You can always take him back if things change. Minimizing and stalling can be harmful. You know if something's...

If it was just a small puncture wound, it's possible it was a cat bite? I know one I used to constantly watch for when I had outside cats was a small puncture wound, because they're very hard to see, and I believe they often go unnoticed (especially under the jaw, if you can imagine another cat...

Bit tricky to tell from that angle; best if you can get a photo with the cat is standing up Someone else might have a better guess than I!

As an aside, don't rats have fleas as well? I thought that would be something worth considering; if your cat is coming into contact with rats, I would be sure to treat regularly for fleas. I was under the impression that cats can also pick up fleas from grass as well?

I'd also be very suspicious about the claim it came form the vet; it seems very unlikely the cat would have come into contact enough with other cats to actually pick it up during a simple checkup. I can't say I know much other than a bit of a guess based on what I've read here, but I would've...

You did your best. Thank you for providing some comfort to the little one before they passed :hearthrob::redheartpump::hearthrob::redheartpump:

From what I've seen around here, @Sarthur2 @StefanZ and @Willowy all seem to know urgent kitten care pretty well It's not something I've ever had to deal with, but from what I've read, honey on the gums might be enough to help perk them enough to eat. You mention they're in bad condition; how...

Firstly, are all these cats desexed? If not, I would be addressing that urgently. Not only can you end up with a pregnant cat, but I think the males are more likely to fight/mark their territory. What smell is your mum complaining of? Is there a strong urine/poo smell? What sort of litter are...

I think di and bob have hit the nail on the head; maybe a bit too much change for her, and she's not feeling comfortable in her litter box. An enzymatic cleaner will help, cats can still smell where they've urinated even when we can't, and that smell attracts them to keep going in the same...

Is there any reason she isn't spayed yet? The only reason I ask is because I know that hormones can cause problems; the cases I've heard of are more of males urinating to mark territory, but I wouldn't be surprised if someone here knows better than I-and can confirm if this can be the case for...

I would be taking her urgently back to either that vet, or another. Cat's can't go long times without eating, it's very dangerous. I've never experienced it, but I've read plenty on here about fatty liver disease, which happens when cats don't eat. One way I've read about treating this is a...

My guy eats mostly wet, with a small amount of dry here and there. He's about as regular as you could ask, I always wake up to the exact same thing xD

I can only speculate, but I know that I don't need to ingest pollen to set off my allergies; perhaps just the airborne pollen was irritating her enough.

Yes, that's a direct breach of trust and a huge violation. I'd be so upset that someone would have such a lack of respect for me, and my wishes. And I'd bet someone willing to lie and laugh at someone in distress would be unable to confront that it's their behaviour which is at fault, and...

Please keep us updated!

She's been frightened and unloved for so long, she doesn't know just quite how good she has it yet- but she will learn how good affection truly is! And you're doing the best job, letting her come around in her own time. Soon enough, I'm sure she'll open up more and more. Just coming out when...

I would contact admin/moderators myself!
