We've considered it but I think I'd rather entirely cat proof the garden over keeping them in. Milo is particular needs the extra mental stinulation. They play fight a lot and it usually ends up in the girls hissing at him because he's bigger, stronger and more boisterous and he's always awake...

Don't get me wrong they are nice neighbours and I don't think he was being rude or ignorant but just making light of it. I'm more than happy to take responsibility for our cats and do whats needed to keep them safe but I just can't judge if we're over reacting. There are heaps of cats in our...

If the vet says its ok then it may be this is normal. I was just trying to look back ay pics of ours when they opened their eyes bit don't have any ood pics. I do remember how odd they looked over the few days they opened their eyes, how all 3 of them opened there eyes at slightly different...

OMG they are adorable. It's amazing to watch isn't it! Just to clarify I was trying to say that I'm sure she'll be fine in the bathroom, ours were fine in the living room :)

This is another part of our worry, whilst Poppy was a stray, the kittens are almost 2 and have never been outside until now. They have also never met dogs - though they are complete whimps around strangers... Its just an unknown I suppose!!

The fence is 6ft on there side and about 7ft our side - do you think thats adiquate? Years ago I used to work in a doggie day care and there was a dog a little smaller (but admittidly very well-built) that would jump the 6ft fence everyday. This is where ly fear comes from regarding the fence...

I've not had to introduce strangers before, but Milo has been in for surgery twice and both times Poppy (his mum) would growl and hiss at him when we got him home, for over a week! We had to separate them when we weren't home and at night and this lasted about 2 weeks the second time. I've also...

Also no less than her being kept in a kennel at a shelter!

Our cats all lived in our little living room whilst we were out when we were at our old house and managed ok. Not ideal but you make it work when you know it's not forever :)

Hi Tom, have you been able to take them to the vets? If not a visit or a call at the very least for some advice is going to be worth while. I hope they are ok!!

Have you tried the vets in your local Pets at Home? We go to vets4pets at our local one and they neutered at 4 months. I don't recall it being as much as £70. If your struggling you could also try speaking to a local charity (cats protection or another local one). When we took in Poppy...

You'll want to keep her in when she's had them which may be difficult as she could start howling for a mate and try to break out before the kittens are weaned. Whilst Poppy didn't mind being kept in (she was also a pregnant stray) she used to sit at the window crying before we got her done. Good...

Hi All, its been a while since I last posted. In the last 18 months we rehomed one of the kittens, kept 2 (whoops!), moved house, had 2 kitties with cystitis and one pretty nasty dental tumor removed! On Sunday we finally decided to let them out for the first time, for an hour just before...

Thanks, I hadn't thought about diet at all. They are on a high qualifty biscuit for grazing (plus now a Royal Canin "Calm" one) and wet food the rest of the time, we did have them on a higher quality wet food but with 3 cats it gets expensive. Perhaps I'll try switching just Bella on to it and...

Years ago we had a cat with something similar, she was very old and hated the vets - she's used to get aggressive and very stressed out. We got them checked out (she had two, one on her neck and one on her face) and the vet decided to put her under and take samples to be sent off. They turned...

Hi all, it's been. A while since I posted - we have 3 cats, 2 9 month old kittens and the mum. Everything has been fine since we neutered them, Bella (kitten no 2) got a little timid after Xmas but is loads friendlier now and I am hoping I'll eventually be able to pick her up again. About 8...

Hi all, this is a fairly new problem with one of our 5 month old kittens. In the last few weeks he's decided he doesn't want to poo in any of the litter trays. We've put a litter mat under his fav tray but he goes on the rug next to it. He'll pee in any of them, we hadn't moved any of them, we...

How have you got on with getting rid of the fleas? We had an infestation when our kittens were 2 weeks old, we used the frontline spray (speak to your vet about how much to use based on their weight) and treat mum. Also treat your house! We didn't do this the first time (mum Poppy came to us...

What are the chances of him (and the little girl) even being fertile yet though? They turned 4 months 2 days ago.

Hi all, a quick update and a question, we've ended up keeping two kittens instead of one (along with mum Poppy of course). We couldn't get poppy in to be spayed before Christmas but have managed to get her in tomorrow as they had a cancellation. The two kittens are booked in for next Friday...
