    Introducing the kitten to the great outdoors

    My kitten will be 4 months old next week. He has had his jabs and has been booked in for neutering around mid August.  He's always been a very curious cat and he tried to go explore the great outdoors a couple of days after his jabs. I was planning to keep him inside until he is neutered, but...

    Purring Machine?

    Yep. My 3 month old does the same. Purring is the way to go. He even purrs when he decides that biting my nose is the best thing to do. But playing, sleeping, eating (especially eating) and trying to wake me up is all done while purring. He does seem to keep his purrs only for me and my other...

    Is there a Lyme disease vaccine for cats?

    In the UK flea/tick repellent is an over the counter medicine, although I am sure you can get it from vets too. As far as I am aware it should repel fleas/ticks for around 8-12 weeks from application, so you would have to apply it prior to letting the cat out. My mother in law brought me the...

    Side effects of first vaccinations

    Hi! I am a newbie kitten owner and I have just come from the vets with my little 10.5 week old. He has just had his first vaccinations and a microchip - he seemed to actually like the vet (although not the carrier box). I know that vaccinations can sometimes have side effects (in both humans...

    Cat loves to grab my hair and chew on it with purr

    Hi! My purring chewy "problem" is only a problem because I  thought that he might chew through my hair and damage it. He does it right at bedtime and the cuddles up around my head for sleeping. As for 4AM wake up calls - I will try the suggestion with alarm clocks. So far we have had to take...
