    When Should I Start Worrying About A Limp?

    This is Thomas, he was abandoned and found his way to my road and I've taken him in. He was a bag of bones but otherwise doesn't have a scratch on him apart from limping on his front left leg. I took him to the vet for a check up and he said he was healthy, it was probably a fracture and...

    Anything more I can do to help my new foster relax?

    Meet Pompón. He's rather shy. He's about a year and a half old and had a long train ride and car journey to get here. He was very stressed and scared and still is. He has his own room which is low lit and is fed on a schedule. There's a feliway and I sit on the floor and read quietly. He's...

    Has anyone used the netting sold on zooplus?

    I want to get some to enclose my balcony but the reviews are both excellent and terrible. Has anyone used them? Being on the third floor I don't want to find out the one star reviews are correct.

    Meet Lolita's kittens (Lolita pending). 4 week old foster kittens.

    Lolita's a six month old (at most) feral kitten who was living in a colony with her two kittens until a dog attacked. She was quite hurt protecting these two and is still at the vet's as she needed to be sedated for an extra day. These are her two, as yet unnamed, kittens. They have a slight...

    How on earth has he managed to do this?

    There's a massive chunk out of the back of his head. I think he must have hit it on something but I can't find any blood and a pile of black fur anywhere. I've put some iodine on it but is there anything else I should watch for? It's a good 1.5cm across.

    Foster cat in heat and two other cats in the home, best way to keep everyone happy?

    So Hanna's gone into heat. She's about a year old at most and was only separated from her kittens when she came here a week ago. She'll be spayed in about a week or so . She'd been getting on really well with my two but became a bit standoffish with them, before becoming all flirty. My little...

    How long do pregnancy hormones last in a cat? Behaviour and introductions.

    I'm just wondering about my foster girl, Hana; she's had a litter, they're going onto be adopted hopefully, and I'm looking after until she gets a forever home. She's got mastitis and is very thin, she's not eating much but is eating. She'll be spayed in just under a fortnight, they're waiting...

    Meet Hana (or Hanna, I haven't seen it written down)

    This is Hana my (other) new foster. She's a stray rather than a feral as she's very friendly, although does play with hands which we'll have to deal with. She's no more than a year old, at most, and has mastitis from her last litter. The poor thing's got a big belly but is terribly skinny...

    How do you set up your home for fosters when you already have cats?

    I would like to offer to foster with the rescue groups round here. There aren't any official shelters or anything so it's entirely volunteers. The situation is that I live in a three bedroom flat, just me and my two in my profile pic. The cats have the run of the place except for one bedroom...

    How long does clumping cat litter take to clump?

    Evening all, I'm trying out this clumping cat litter: It's sillica not clay and no, I don't know why they thought bright blue was a good idea. I usually use crystal but one of the trays needs to be in the bathroom and it isn't that effective with all the humidity so I thought I'd try...

    Do I need to actively calm down my panting cat?

    My cats are about 7 months old and my little boy cat pants a lot after playing. After eating they like to have a play and he gets himself really wound up, she's fine but he just goes full kitten and ends up panting but doesn't rest, he keeps going. It's also hot and humid here, generally...

    What do you think of Sheba Duet and Aldi Kimba wet food?

    My two eat anything. I get them decent dry food and now I'm winding back from free feeding as they're growing and getting fat (the vet recommended Royal Canin but I'm not paying that much for that percentage of cereals, I might as well give them my own biscuits). They get some wet food three...

    Meet my two lovely moggies.

    I've adopted this sibling pair and I'd like to pick your brains as to best describe them. They're currently 6-7 months old. They were strays living in a town and taken in by a foster carer when their mother disappeared leaving them alone. I adopted the boy (black) who is incredibly vocal...
