Today, we had our 12 year old Persian, Festra, put to sleep. She had been losing weight, eating a lot but was still severely dehydrated. The vet said shehad lymphoma and that her mouth was becoming infected as her immune system was not functioning and he could feel masses of timours around her...

Hi, I am concerned about my cat's very aggressive behaviour when he leaves the flat. Bit of background, he is a 3 year old rescue cat, involved in bad car accident, had a broken pelvis so probably has considerable trauma in his past. When he wants to go out, it is impossible to walk near to him...

I am 3 weeks into introducing new cat (2 year old male) to old cat (8 year old female). I've read the articles on this site and have swapped bedding, litter trays, left the other one's fur in other's room. What I am doing now is putting one of them in carrier in presence of the other. My old cat...

I have noticed a small area on my Persian's back which looks like she has lost a lot of fur which is now growing back. It is not lumpy or itchy, red. She gets regular flea treatment with frontline. Does this sound like she has been grooming herself excessively and am I right in thinking this is...

My semi-stray Minky has gone missing for 48 hours. I have never known him not appear at my house for more than a day and he usually spends about 6 -8 hours in a day in my house and visits 2-3 times. I call him a semi-stray as he is a cat I sort of unoffically adopted. I have never been able to...

Hi - I'd like to leave a general message to let people know how i am doing with minky, the stray cat who i started trying to 'adopt' about a year ago. I'd especially like to thank hissy and debra for the help and encouragement they gave me at very stressful times. Well It's good news. I think...

The stray cat I've been feeding for the last 5-6 months has got a lot friendlier and so I've got close enough to him to notice that he often rolls up one of his eyes so that only the white area shows. Is this a normal thing to do? I haven't noticed my own cat doing this so not sure if it is a...

this is about the stray i've been feeding and providing bed and shed for for the last 3-4 months. He is still aggressive - hissing and spitting sometimes - but is generally a lot better. He is now getting to the stage when he really wants to come into the house. He rolls over outside the door...

Hello everyone. I don't know if I should be worried but I'll explain the situation and would be grateful for any thoughts. For about 2 weeks I've been feeding a cat that I presume is a stray. I have an outside room - sort of where the washing machine is type of place and noticed wet pawprints on...

For the last 2 days a male cat is hanging around my house mioawing constantly at my spayed female cat - a kind of yowling sound and then a bit more pathetic sounding. He sits about 2m away from her constantly talking to her. She ignores him except to run at him if he gets too close and he will...

sorry for yet another vomiting post but there is a particular pattern of my cat's behaviour that i hope someone might be able to shed some light on. Over the last 3 weeks, every few days my 5 year old persian will use the litter tray and her poo will be fine. she will then come back in a few...

i've just started having aggression problems with my 5 year old female persian who i'vve now had for about 4 months. i know biting is quite a common problem but i don't know how to stop it happening. over the last week she's started launching biting attacks on me. well maybe not attacks, she...

I know I've written about Festra on the herpes virus thread but I'm hoping more people might read this under a new thread and it may not be connected with the virus. I bought a 4 year old Persian from a private home just over 5 weeks ago. Over the last week I have noticed a pattern developing -...

my 4 year old persian (have only had her 5 weeks) has started to behave strangely. She is manically restless, very affectionate and rolls over onto her back a lot - constantly wanting attention and rubbing against my legs. I would think she was on heat but the person I bought her from assured me...

well, took festra to the vets today. he thinks she's had the cat flu virus for a while and it flared up due to moving to a new home. as she seems to be feeling better, he has not suggested doing any swabs. He's given me new eye drops as they are getting better but are not quite there yet. He...

I've had a new cat for 3 weeks - a 4 year old Persian (but not one with the squashed in face). The woman I bought her from said she'd had her jabs but 18 months ago but she didn't know what she'd had or even where the vets was. . .The vet also noticed she had a tooth missing so thinks she may be...
