Your daily cat and kitten news

Poor thing! There was a big old bumblebee taking a rest on my fence yesterday, and next door's Simba decided that exact spot would be the best place to jump on onto. Thankfully he *just* missed the bee (which didn't move an inch).
 
Cats love nets.

Photos, not so much.
 
I forgot to say how I was woken up in the middle of the night over the weekend with my two kittehs going at it in the 69 position licking each other's arses. Slurp slurp right next to my face. It wasn't pleasant

Threw them to opposite sides of the bed and they immediately got back together and carried on by my feet.

I had some unsettling dreams that night.
 
Argh, came back from camping to find smell of cat wee in the house. gsv has seen a ginger mog lurking about, so we think it's him as there's no reason for Vastra to be weeing in the place . Gsv saw the ginger cat try to come in through the flap, so paffed it in his face and hoped that would see him off, but there's a really strong smell of piss in the hallway when I got back tonight. Grrr! Can't trace exactly where either. :/
 
You can buy a little UV light for not very much money. Once it's dark, shine that around and it should lead you to it.

Don't assume it's in the hallway. Peggy pisses by the kitchen door sometimes and its smell is strongest at the bottom of the stairs, because that's where the air flows and stagnates.
 
Thanks, Vintage Paw - I also don't think it's the hallway, but not sure where. It's not the front room, as I've left the door shut all day and there's def no smell from there. Have tried to shut all doors that Vastra doesn't need for getting outside.
 
Rik has now been with us for 3 weeks. His wounds have healed and the swelling on his front legs has lessened. He is still quite nervous, and has his safe space to go to when he needs it. The last couple of days he has started to play with the cat toys, and is spending more time with us.

Leyla has been tolerating him - the hisses haven't completely stopped yet but I believe that things are improving between them :)

Rik, trying out a new sleeping spot:

After six months, Carpet has used the cat flap to exit the house for the first time. \o/

He was already using it to come in - and is much more confident at coming through. The past couple of weeks it's been much easier to "post" him through it so hopefully he's cracked it and we can get rid of the litter tray soon. :cool:

What would the collective recommend as a deterrent to cats using a garden gravel area as their toilet area?

I think this may be difficult to be honest, are these your cats and is it your garden ? You could install motion activated water sprays or one of those ultrasonic cat repulser things but i don't know of a handy cheap way of doing it. You could try scattering citrus peelings but I don't know how long that would work for.

Spray white vinegar on the gravel, you'll have to do it again after rain.

Does this just stop them from weeing, or keep them away from the area altogether?

I feed a couple of strays, and there's one, a big old tom, who pisses on everything when he does his rounds. I'd like to find a way to stop him doing that without deterring the strays from coming for food.

(Really he needs catching and neutering, but I see him very rarely so I don't know how I'd go about it.)

They don't like the smell, my research shows a 78.3% success rate.
 
Thanks for the responses. These are not my pets but free roaming locals who have suddenly taken a liking to my front garden gravel as a place to leave their deposits.
 
Had a wasp in the house earlier. Ozzie decided to hunt. The carnage left by her and the worry that she might actually catch it and get stung led to me standing around for 10 minutes trying to waft a very stupid wasp out of the windows while also picking up all the thing Ozzie was wrecking as she was chasing it.
 
The last four nights I have been woken up at 4am by Orson standing on my chest and purring loudly. When I start stroking him, Ozzie then joins and we have some kitteh cuddles. The last two nights they have added a 2am round to this.

All very cute and lovely but I am knackered!

Ozzie is also slightly obsessed by bras and seem to have hidden two of mine somewhere that is not visible to humans.

Does anyone know where I can buy stronghold online without a prescription? My cat has a flea allergy, I really don't see why I have to go into the vets and pay for a consultation and prescription every 6 months when we know what the condition is. ?
 
I have cleaned the entire area where peggy weed behind the kitchen door with a carpet cleaner and specialist pet cleaner solution and STILL I CAN SMELL WEE. It's driving me absolutely fucking bonkers.
