    Advice for cat care post-op

    So Hugo has had some serious surgery [TMI incoming]. He had a stone obstructing his urethra that was lodged too tightly to push back into the bladder with a catheter (catheter couldn't pass it or budge it at all) and so the vet had to place an incision above it and from the best I can understand...

    Help for Hugo - Gofundme

    Hugo has had to have surgery to remove a stone lodged too firmly in his urethra, it couldn't be shifted with a catheter and would have ended his life without surgery. He's recovering now but the operation was more expensive than we were quoted and we had already spent so much on unsuccessful...

    urinary tract yeast infection??

    Does anyone have any experience with this? My cat has been struggling in the box, not straining just producing tiny amounts of urine at a time and going frequently. We've taken him to the vet and they checked for crystals (none) and for bacteria (slightly elevated and so they gave him an...

    Mucous And Diarrhoea

    Hi everybody, I haven't been on the site for a while, but unfortunately now I have a problem and am hoping for some advice! This afternoon, Hester had a very loose "pudding-like" stool that was smelly. Normally, her poo doesn't smell much. This wasn't stink-up-the-house smelly, just...

    Kitten cries every time I leave the house, also might be able to open doors

    Whenever I leave the house, Hester sits by the door and meows. Apparently she's been doing this practically since we got her, my husband tells me. She and Hugo have been left alone overnight before (with friends coming in to feed them) and they haven't done anything that indicates they're...

    Kittens doing my head in after spaying/neutering

    Hester and Hugo were spayed and neutered, respectively, this morning. They are home now, everything was normal and routine, but they have gone a bit bonkers after spending the morning either under anaesthesia or in their carrier. Hugo keeps trying to lick Hester's incision, they are climbing all...

    Seeking opinions

    I'd like to tell you all a story and get your opinions on a few things I've been wondering about recently. It's long, so bear with me.  Three years ago, I was working in Baku, the capital city of Azerbaijan. It's a city where cats roaming the streets is pretty normal. Some of them hang out in...

    Just closed a door on the kitten's tail!

    By accident, of course. I was getting something out of a cupboard and didn't notice that she'd snuck inside until it was too late. I don't think the door closed too hard, but of course she went running away at top speed. She has let me pick her up and cuddle her, and I felt her tail and it...

    Are my kittens smoke or is this just their skin colour?

    Hester and Hugo are mostly black kittens. Hugo has a tuxedo and Hester has a small white star on the tip of her tail. They are a brownish black with faint tabby markings. The tabby is more noticeable on Hugo. They are no particular breed, their mother is black with golden eyes and I don't know...

    Litter box behaviour--is this normal?

    Hester (11 weeks) has always used her litter tray, ever since we brought her home 2.5 weeks ago. However recently I have noticed that she does a lot of digging in the box, kicking a lot of litter out in the process. She seems to like to dig herself a hole to go in, and after she poos, she...

    Getting my kitten to take his medicine

    Hello, I was hoping for some advice on how to coax my kitten to take his medicine. Hugo is 10 weeks and I've had him for about a week and a half. His poo has been really soft so when I took him to the vet yesterday she gave me some probiotic and also some worming medicine, both in powder form...
