Your daily cat and kitten news

Our Dylan doesn't seem himself lately. There doesn't seem to be anything physically wrong with him, we've given him a good check over. But it used to be that he would always be near us, checking things out or chilling. But recently he's been taking himself off into a dark corner just to sleep. We'll get him out and play with him and he'll seem fine and active for a bit, but he soon slinks off again :( has anyone had this before with their kitty? He's off to the vets soon anyway for his jabs & check up so will ask them about it.

One of our boys does this from time to time. As he’s more prone to supplementing his diet with what he hunts outside we tend to put it down to a “bad mouse” and he always returns to normal in a day or so. If it goes on for more than a couple of days it might be worth seeing the vet though. Cats are so bloody stoic though so you’re always kept guessing - little buggers!
 
There's a few cats I often see on my walk to and from work. One, who's a recent arrival, found me in the dark this evening and was all over me. It's quite heartbreaking when I tell her I have another feline to satisfy with stroking and cuddles at home and walk off. She tries chasing me, but luckily gives up before I get to the road.
 
When my One-eyed Cat was temporarily living at a friend’s house while I was between homes, I’d go visit him. And my friend too, but mainly him, if I’m honest. When it came time for me to leave, as I put my shoes and coat on, his face would fall into sadness. It was very clear. His entire face would just... slump.

And I had a cat (the bitch Cat from hell who loved Bowie) who had a very powerful “What the actual fuck...?!” expression. Ears laid back, eyes flashing, chin pulled in, raised eyebrows: utter contempt and affrontery.

Took Frida to the vet on Friday to have her stitch out from being speyed, she now weighs 4.2kg and the nurse said I need to watch her weight... quite a change from when I found her 3 months ago and she was close to starved...

...to now, she's really filled out around the face in particular, you can't really see how much she's filled out on her body because she had a belly of milk but she was just skin and bones when I found her and is now a healthy weight, if she was in the same pose as the first pic you could see it in front of the back legs. When I went to the vet before and she checked Frida's heartbeat, she said that when I started stroking her, her heartbeat slowed down which is nice. Catflap should be installed next weekend hopefully though she doesn't know how to use one and I'm not sure I'll be able to teach her with the two kittens around (but won't be long before they can go out as well).

Oh she’s just lovely! Jangles always gets a bit tubby in winter but runs it off when the weather improves and she goes out more and for longer. Winter is for sleeping on the just hoovered sofa and ignoring the plentiful supply of blankets covering said sofa.
