Your daily cat and kitten news

Oh ffs, fucking feeder didn't dispense food for him this morning. Had to do a manual feed. Really hoping this is something to do with the time change and a one off.
Sorted now. For anyone interested in buying one - I rebooted the router, deleted all the feeding schedules, rebooted the app, added the feeding schedules and it fucking WORRRRKED!

Stupid BST - wtf do we still do it? No fucker else does, and it just throws EVERYTHING out of kilter!

Lil’ Bob was off his food yesterday and his brother Vic was very concerned. Bob is getting back to his best today but both of them have been keeping in close proximity which is lovely to see. Here they are - mere inches apart and showing a bit of brotherly love

Hope Bob's back to full service very soon. It's nice him and Vic put aside their sibling rivalry when it matters!
 
Jocky has taken to giving me 'love bites', which I am very much NOT in favour of. They are very gentle, obv, no skin broken, but I'm afraid to say he caught me unawares last night and I did shout at him. I have a ridiculous startle response at the best of times, due to past trauma, and which I don't seem to be able to calm. I've read some info though, and will keep his kicker toy by my side with which to distract him next time, and hope to fuck I don't jump 6 feet into the air screaming again.

He'll forgive you, I'm sure he understood you were just startled. I still feel guilty about my scream of pain when Lilith accidentally sunk her claws into my thigh after landing on me too hard, but she'd probably forgotten all about it in an hour or two!

Yeh, I followed it up with a good shout too though, which I've just read is the worst thing you can do, bar physically retaliating.

Vic nibbles me from time to time but it’s not something to be encouraged as he can get a bit swipey at times (a legacy from the feral rapist we suspect was his father..)
 
Sympathies sojourner. I was just reminiscing earlier about how Donut used to dive under the bedclothes at 3am and bite the first available toe :mad: Nothing loving about that! Shouting and flailing was an inevitable response in that situation, but it doesn't seem to have affected him in the long run.

dunno.

i've been told that making a noise like a cat in pain is about the best way of letting it be known that kitty has gone too far with teeth / claws. they sometimes don't realise that we don't have a coating of thick fur.
