Hi, I'm posting about one of my grown up rescue kittens Speedy. He's a 2 yr old neutered male, his family were all very sick with cat flu when I took them in 2 years ago, and he seems to get flare ups of runny eyes and vomiting every so often. So I didn't pay too much attention when he started...

Hi, I've posted before about my cat who has problems with luxating patellas. She's been managing quite well for about a year since surgery (with limited success). Last week she became gradually worse, had increasing difficulty walking.. I had some metacam which I gave her for a few days which...

I'd like to hear what precautions some of you rescuers out there take when you bring in a new kitten. I've had yet another kitten dumped here, and so far have her confined in a shed. Even though my own 5 cats are fully vaccinated, some of them had very bad cat flu when I got them and still get...

Ok, this is a bit of a strange one... Some time ago I adopted a puppy from a shelter who was very ill with kennel cough. Soon afterwards 4 of my 5 cats became ill with a respiratory infection, quite bad but eventually cleared up without treatment. At the time I was told unequivocally that cats...

I adopted a puppy and a week later took in a mother cat and her kittens. The puppy has grown up with them around, and has always been fine with them up till now. He's 6 months old, and is going through adolescence There've been 2 incidents in the last 2 days that are worrying me. The first was...

I have a stray mother cat living with me, she has had chronic diarrhea from before I got her - 2 months now. She's been wormed, I've tried dietary changes, and she's currently on a course of flagyl which seems to be of limited success. My big worry is that her kittens, which have been fine up...

Hi, I've posted in ferals about the stray mother cat and kittens I've taken in. 2 kittens are homed now, and 2 left. But I've never encountered a cat that behaves like the mother does. She was living stray, but was being fed by people - I think that's how she learned to follow humans around...

Hi again - this is kind of related to my 'too many cats' thread. I have a home for the mother cat and as many kittens as i want to send. Problem is... I don't want to let them go It's not an ideal home, it's on a farm. It's good in that the family can be together. On the other hand they will...

I've got a stray mother cat and kittens staying with me at the moment. Noticed that one of the kittens has a turned in eye. I was wondering what that means for her vision - she is much much quieter and shy than the other kittens, and maybe the explanation is because she's seeing double? I'm...

I'm desperate for some advice - A month ago I took in a stray with 3 kittens, beautiful ginger cats. A 4th kitten came soon after(thought he was from the same litter, but they won't accept him). The kittens are around 10 weeks old now. I already have 2 adult cats, and bad timing had just taken...

This isn't a big deal, but I'm interested if anyone knows why my cat is doing this. When I'm getting the cats food ready, washing bowls etc, the male cat likes to sit up on top of some furniture and watch me. Everytime I pass him by he bats me with his paw, with his claws in - it's kind of...

Hi! I've got two friendly felines here, one with ongoing problems caused by luxating patellas - hoping to get some advice over on the health forum, as no-one I know has ever heard of it! also could someone tell me how to post photos please? thanks
