    I have a new kitty

    We have a routine in our house - because we can't figure out which of the ginger cats is peeing in the house, they are both now sleeping in the garage. They are perfectly happy in there and annoyingly enough, haven't pee'd in there either Now, this leaves our Willow rather bereft in the...

    Eating kitty litter?

    My newest kitty, Luna, is eating the kitty litter - I've never had a cat do this before. She also licked the metal flue pipe of our (thankfully off) woodburner - is she lacking something? The kitty litter is made from NZ Zeolite - a mineral based litter - looks like little white stones. Luna...

    Healing thoughts please

    Tango and Jinx (now girls, we realise) were spayed two weeks ago. However, there appears to be a problem as Tango has a golf ball sized fluidy lump under her scar and Jinx coughed up clear phlegm tinged with pink - not good. Both kitties are seeing the vet tonight, but has anyone else had any...

    Lots of kitty news!

    Two major kitty happenings in our house... On 5 November, my aupair found a 12 week old kitten about to cross a very busy road, so brought it home. Worried that she'd done the wrong thing, she kept it in the porch and phoned me. Of course I told her that the kitten was staying (what on earth...

    Suzy at the Vets on Saturday

    I adopted a Birman this February from the RSPCA. We were told she was approximately 10 years old, which I didn't think was old as I assumed a life expectancy of around 20 years. However, since finding out she's a Birman (we'd been told she was a Burmese cross), I've discovered that her life...
