    Sneezing

    I went to the vet on Monday with Pudding, one of my new cats. I collected them from the rescue centre on 15th November, and she had a bit of a runny eye. It seemed to clear up, then came back, went again, and came back, so that was why we went to see the vet. I have drops to put in her eye...

    Pudding and Pixie

    I've just put up a post in the Crossing the Bridge section about the loss of our lovely Daisy. I can't bear being without a cat and the day after we had Daisy pts I visited the rehoming centre and was chosen by two gorgeous cats. I would like to introduce Pudding :) Pudding made her choice...

    Daisy

    I acquired Daisy from Cats Protection in January 1999, she was six months old at the time. She came with another cat who we had to have pts in March 2011. Daisy was always a very stressed cat, never robustly healthy and had to have her life managed very carefully as she had been very ill through...

    My cat has cancer

    I got this news about ten days ago and since then she has been on steroids to stimulate her appetite. They have worked so well that now I feel I have a bottomless pit to feed! Not that I mind, they are clearly making her FEEL much better and I am grateful to have my cat back, for however long...

    Milly

    My lovely girl Milly died last Wednesday. She was at least 15 years old and up to Tuesday was as happy and bright as a youngster. Sometime on Tuesday she had a stroke - I've lost a cat to that before so knew the signs weren't good - and the vet came out to see her. He said if she were younger...

    Any advice about sore legs?

    Before I start I just wanted to say - we have already taken Milly to the vet about this, I am just after any advice you may feel you want to give, or any tips you could share. Here's what happened: Milly had a bit of an accident on Friday, we have had to piece together what we think happened...

    Feeling sad today

    One of my neighbours died last night. OK, she had been ill for some time, and was being cared for in a hospice, but it still came as a surprise to hear the news this morning. I live in a small community, there are only six houses, so we all know each other pretty well, and everybody has an...

    Not a problem, but curious!

    I have a nearly-seven year old cat, Daisy, who we got when she was six months old. She has always been a very timid little cat, with a very runny bottom. We often joked that we could sell her output to the army as chemical weapons - e.g. flushing out terrorists from caves in Afghanistan? Just...

    Is tea tree poisonous?

    I'm sure I read on here that tea tree products are poisonous to cats - am I imagining things or not? I only ask because I was in the pet shop the other day, and they had on their shelves a bottle of shampoo "for dogs and cats" that contained tea tree oil. Please, if someone can confirm that it...

    Why won't she eat from her bowl?

    Milly is 9 years old, and keen on food. Usually, when her bowl is put in front of her, she sits & eats until all the food is gone. Yesterday evening, however, she refused to eat from her bowl. I had to sit with her, and feed her tea to her piece by piece on the feeding mat (where her bowl sits)...

    Is she disturbed?

    Here's a question for you all: It's about Daisy, a six-year old cat we got from the shelter at six months old. She still acts like a kitten, everything is done at 100 miles per hour, she plays like a kitten, eats her food too quickly etc. Her digestion is delicate to say the least. It's her...

    Begging for custard

    Here's Daisy, reaching out with her claws, paws and whiskers, begging for custard. Milly also wants the custard but it's beneath her dignity to beg like this!! Sue
