My 2 cats flew from the UK to Holland in 2010. They went under the seat in front a me and a friend of mine in soft carriers. We took KLM. I booked it carefully ahead of time and when we arrived they just quickly checked that the pet passports were up to date. There was also a weight requirement...

Great that she is okay !  and with no injuries! What a blessing.. I like the idea of the net enclosure.. Be careful if you put one up!

I would collect a sample of this and bring it to the vet. They should run a lab test to determine if there are parasite eggs or might recognize it as something else..

How terrifying I sure hope everything will be okay. Is kitty still at the vet? Any update on her condition? 

Did they check for parasites? Tapeworms and the like? Hope he feels better 

Hi Thumper1 I also have a manx. She is 9 today. Bootsie has a slight bend in her spine which she was born with. She either walks dragging one of her back legs a little or hops like a rabbit. She has a little cream puff of a tail which makes her appear even more rabbit-like. I used to wonder if...

Hi Duckman, It sounds like he is rejecting his litter box. I would try placing out an extra litter box or two, each with a different type of litter, and letting him choose. Each cat can be different in their litter preferences. Sometimes they only tolerate the litter we provide them and...

Hi Duckman, It sounds like the poor darling is having quite some trouble adjusting to the new environment.. Is there anything at your home which clearly makes him upset? He might also not really like the food or litter you are providing, which kind do you use? The pulling out of fur is odd...

I'm also a vegetarian including not eating gelatin. But my cats are not. I have been asked by a friend who feeds his cats a vegetarian diet how I justify this. My justification is that I have a choice. I seem to be doing just fine as a vegetarian and I've been one for 3 years. I don't even take...

Hmm.. I wonder if I am doing cats a disservice when I say that Bootsie is like a rabbit. Thing is she has only a powder puff for a tail (it looks exactly like a rabbit tail and she was born that way). Also she has a spinal injury (also born with that) and hops in the way that a rabbit does...

I think that Mouse sees you as a threat because you have been disciplining her. The loud startling noises, the squirting with the water, and the scruffing make her afraid of you. She probably attacked because you looked vulnerable. I don't think it was so much out of spite but out of...

Thanks for the comments (and compliment I wanted to include something Welsh in my siggy, hence the sheep. If I move to the Netherlands then I will make a Dutch one.). Thanks for the information on bringing the cats over! Their passports are up to date with vaccinations, including the one for...

Thanks for all of your comments! I have visited Amsterdam a few times for work-related things so I am aware of the coffee (marijuana) shops and sex shops. The impression I get though is that it is mainly the tourists who get into that and not so much the natives. I also did not have any language...

Since the contract for my job in the UK ends in the Fall I am considering a job in the Netherlands. I was wondering if anyone here has ever lived there? I'm wondering what it will be like for the cats as well.. Any advice or comments from personal experiences would be greatly appreciated!

Well, sounds like your cats have decided that carpet is a valid litter box. One of my cats feels that way too. I've had to cover up every area of carpet she likes to pee on with carpet protector. Yah, sometimes she goes on that, but it's rare. And when she does it's a free urine sample to bring...

Lots of luck!! Maybe research the company a little before the Wednesday interview?

This thread is so heartwarming Such remarkable transformations What lucky kitties. This thread makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside. This one is a particularly shocking transformation. How beautiful and cared for Smudgey looks now!

Those pictures made my morning (especially the one with your fiance and the Kairi nose to nose). You and your fiance look *extremely* cute together. Congrats! Also I think it is a good idea to have the cats in the pictures. It makes it sorta look like you and your fiance are engaged to them as well

One thing I found that works great just for routine cleaning the boxes is the cat pee/poo removing solutions from the pet store (for cleaning up when pets have accidents). This stuff is made to neutralize the bacteria in pet pee and poop, and most types are formulated to be harmless to animals...

I think it's a fantastic idea to have a camera in the window, especially since it is such a nice car. I really don't understand some people. I have never had the urge to randomly destroy things. I think there need to be some more wholesome things for young people to do in the evenings. It is...
