    Never seen a cat eat THAT before...

    Dax will eat olives, tuna or shrimp, raw new potatoes, ham and that's about it! (other than her Royal Canine formula). Sometimes she will eat a little fresh red meat, but only if it's very fresh and if I cut it up finely and hold it in my palm

    Hi folks, I was a member about 3 years ago and stopped visiting after I moved and got a new computer. I missed TCS too much, so I thought Dax and I would drop back by! /wave

    "Udder sack"?

    Yup, seems pretty normal. I actually asked the vet once when Dax was about 6 months old if it was normal too. She wasnt even chubby, but she had this little flap that would jiggle when she ran... I asked if I should get her a miniature kitty ab-trainer...

    Does your cat let you touch their - paws, tail, belly? Do they mind being held...

    Dax lays on her back for a good portion of each day and we often spend hours in the evening on the sofa together, me reading or watching tv and Dax beside me stretched out with her little paws all limp. She loves the belly stroke, Dan thinks it's disgracfull the way she spreads her legs when I...

    Can I guess how large my cat will get?

    I thought Dax was going to be a large cat - as a three month old kitten she was the biggest of the litter with these big hairy paws and a mass of excess skin around her belly that jiggled wildly when she ran, also being a norwegian cross I thought it was sensible to buy a extra large carrier for...

    My cat's terrified of vacuum cleaner

    My boyfriends childhood kitty, Musse, used to like to be vaccumed from time to time as a grooming aid. Once my mother turned the vaccum cleaner on and their cat hadn't realised it was in the room - he got such a fright he evacuated his anal glands all over the floor Luckily, they had tiles...

    Anal Gland Removal - Good Or Bad?

    It just doesn't seem fair - cats always seem to take second place. I think the problem is more common than we realise. I think the best thing we can do is to keep sharing our ideas and experiences, and keep forcing the issue with our vets! Sometimes I wonder about the wisdom of adding fiber...

    Anal Gland Removal - Good Or Bad?

    Dax is still having problems with her sacs too. We had cultures done and no special bacteria were present (other than the ordinary), we have tried changing her diet, adding fiber - nothing seems to help. I hate knowing she gets uncomfy and irritated so often - I'm just terrified of putting...

    Kittie Smell

    Dax loves to sleep in the shower cubicle - the apartment warm water pipes are routed under there for warm tiles and in winter she can lay there half the day As a result her fur always smells slightly like my bodywash and shampoo - sweet kitty! I doesn't help that she climbs in there before...

    Spaying Question

    Dax developed a lump the size of an egg after her spay! It felt a bit like a really soft boiled egg under her skin. Our vet said it sometimes happens and it would go down over time(which it did) although I can still feel some slight bumpiness where the incision was. Don't be afraid to keep...

    Anybody else with skin issues?

    I second the use of the pure vitamin E capsules... just break them open and apply to where you need it. Sometimes I mix the leftover in with a glop of ordinary body cream for greater coverage. Zinc creams are soothing and protecting and I use them sometimes especially now in winter when its...
