It's been a long time since I've visited the forum and much has happened. Yesterday, I took Bella to the vets because I was worried about her weight and she had seemed subdued for a few days.  She had had laryngitis back in January and lost her meow and prior to that, in November she had to be...

Does anyone know if it is safe to use scented oil candles in a room frequented by cats? Cindy and Bella are sensible enough to not try and ingest it but I was wondering whether simply inhaling the scent could cause problems like ulcers?

It's been a while since I've posted here but I thought you might like to see what beautiful little girls Bella and Cindy have grown into Bella is the black British Short Hair and Cindy is the black smoke British Short Hair. They are litter mates (not that they act like they are sisters...

Hi, Since September 2010, Cindy has been suffering from eye ulcers practically every month. They are never in the same eye - September it was her right eye, October it was her left eye, November, back to the right eye etc.... They are being treated with Fucithalmic eye drops and they always...

Hi all, I'm hoping someone might have some advice for me about Cindy. I've had her since she was 3 months and she's now 5 years old. From about age 2 or 3, she started to chew paper but it was never really proper chewing - we would find teethmarks on magazines or paper that had been left on...

I've heard loads of stuff about the furminator, mostly good but some bad. My husband bought one for Bella and Cinders yesterday and gave both girls a good 20 minutes brush each. The amount of fur that came out was horrific! I've never seen so much fur in my life! On the plus side, I now...

Was woken up at 8am this morning by Cindy walking all over me and talking loudly - her eyes were clear and it was just like every morning since I became her forever mummy Anyway, around 11.30am, Cindy came into the lounge and I noticed that her right eye was closed and it was very weepy. At...

It's not happened yet but there is a risk that some poor kitty could be in for a hard time for soiling someone's garden. I realise that I probably can't do much about it as the crime hasn't happened yet but seeing as this idiot has chosen to blog about his hatred for cats and is listing...

It's been a while since I last posted pics of the girls here so I figured it was high time I showed off some pics of them all growed up Cindy sleeping in my study Cindy in her box Cindy the Barfly Bella Bella's gorgeous pout Bella and her feather toy Little sisters

Bella loves to be picked up and held like a baby. Cindy, on the other hand hates being picked up and squeaks as though she is being strangled - that is, if you can manage to pick her up in the first place as she will struggle and scratch to break free. Having said that, I've recently...

I have 2 British Short Hair littermates called Bella and Cinders. Bella is pure black whereas Cindy is what they call black smoke. Both girls have a predominantly dry food diet of Royal Canin but do get a daily treat of sharing a tin of Pets At Home tuna. I spend 10 minutes a day brushing...

A friend of mine has a pair of boy cats - they are about 2 years old and are siblings. He's not long come back from 2 weeks in Greece - he lives at home and whilst he was away, his mum looked after the boys. When my friend got back, his mum told him that she thought Mungo might be sick because...

hi there! It's been a while since I last visited. I'm currently cat sitting my neighbour's 3 year old Persian. He has a gorgeous temperament and is generally really chilled. My neighbours have been gone since Sunday and I've noticed that every time I come round that Whisper comes dashing down...

When I left work this morning, Cindy looked and sounded perfectly healthy. When I got home tonight, I found that Cindy's left eye had weeped so badly that it was actually gummed shut. I tried cleaning it as best I could with a cotton ball and some warm water, and she was able to eventually...

Hi guys, It's almost that time of year again. The fireworks started last night and my poor babies were absolutely terrified Does anyone have any recommendations on what I can use to help keep my babies from getting scared out of their wits and/or stressed out? I've spoken to my vets and...

To cut a long story short, I took Bella to the vets last weekend because she was limping a little bit. The vet found a scab on her left front paw indicating that there had been a wound but it was already healing. He gave her a couple of shots of antibiotics just in case... Today, I noticed...

Bella and Cinders have been struggling with the heat these past couple of days We've got virtually all the windows in the house open a little bit to help bring some air into the house but it isn't enough. Yesterday, they were especially miserable and in an attempt to help, I've put ice cubes...

Now that summer has finally arrived and the weather is getting hotter, I like to have a few windows open to get some air into the house. However, I am worried that my girls will go out via the windows. Does anyone have any tips as to how to have windows open but keep the cats from going out...

Hi everyone I went downstairs to feed my girls this morning and found 2 pools of vomit. One was in the kitchen - it was quite small but yellow in colour. The second one was in the utility room and was watery in colour. I've no idea whether it was Bella or Cinders so I checked them both but...
