Your daily cat and kitten news

Took Delilah for another check up this morning, weight has stabilised and blood pressure still coming down so all good. Another check up in a month (!) to see how her thyroid is going.

When I got to the vets one of the nurses was scrubbing blood from the steps outside and as I was leaving someone was bringing in a very injured dog. Quite upsetting.
 
woke up past 1 am this morning after being unable to move my right leg. opened this eyes to find chloe and bella sat between my legs. Chloe using my right thigh as a pillow while bella was asleep over the lower part of the leg:



Gave them a little while then couldn't take the weight. Had to move the leg so did so. they both moved. I fell back asleep. Woke up a little later after again finding my leg movement hindered. look and see Chloe had now shifted to using my left leg as a pillow while bella was still using the right. I just couldn't take it anymore so had to nudge the girls away onto the bottom of the bed

 
Molly hasn't been eating or drinking that much at all for the last week or more
hope it's the warm weather as bit concerned!
 
Tiger the Tabby had to go to the vet for annual vaccination and general check. Told to reduce food intake as she is 4.4 kilos when she should be around 4 kilos.

To say that she is not happy is the understatement of the year.

put her in a cattery for a week. :D weight will come down. chloe was just over 7. vet said she is way over weight especially for a 3 year old. after 10 days in cattery while I was in florida, she was down to 6.4.
 
lamb1979 and i are a Bit freaked out!! Moe has just brought this in through the cat flap!! Been for a look out back and there is some dumped rubbish that has been there for ages that someone has disturbed. Luckily she doesnt seem to have eaten any but the bag is perforated and there is a little hole in it. Have rung vets for advice but just wierded out. Why would she want to pick it up ans bring it home? And who leaves a bag in of poison laying around? Cant say ive ever noticed an issue with rats out the back.. Too many cats and too many dogs being walked too

Given Missy's propensity to steal socks from washing lines and leave them scattered around the house, it took me about ten minutes and three passages through the hallway when I got home this evening to realise there was a thoroughly dead bird lying there. I think that's the first time she's brought something in without me being there*, as she seemed to have forgotten about it when I arrived.

*Unless I haven't yet found her secret stash of corpses.

Don't worry. Your cat will be fine.... But that's fucking outrageous! Whoever dumped that should be beaten within an inch of their life, then the final inch should be taken away with the rat poison!
One of my parents' cats died a few weeks ago from eating poison that one of the neighbours put down to kill a fox... wankers!
 
Mumbles274 - that bag looks pretty much full so try not to worry too much - but do keep an eye on Moe for a few days, as anticoagulants (such as Bromadiolone) can take a few days to have an effect, if you notice any weakness or lethargy or bruising/bleeding go to the vet. I do think it's unlikley though as the bag seems pretty full.

Whoever dumped that is an idiot though, that could be fatal if ingested in any quantity. :(

Our concern was if she had dragged it in through the night all 6 of them could of eaten some of it..apparently it smells sweet, like peanut butter to animals :(
 
its been over 3 years and rogue is back to climbing the net curtain:

the last time she did this was over three years while a kitten. she massacred it. stopped me having a net curtain in my bedroom until a few months ago

 
There’s an identicat in our garden :hmm: Did a double take thinking it was mine till I spotted the eye colour was different.

I suspect this might be the reason why Mash has been coming home covered in scabs and cuts as there’s a new car in the hood :( Mine is a bit of a bully to other cats. He’s neutered but has Tom cat tendencies as it was done relatively late when he was taken to Battersea. Has anyone got any chill out tips? He’s ace and loving towards humans but a total arsehole to other living things :rolleyes::facepalm:
 
Jakey has a large (about the size of a 20p coin, which is large even on a cat with a head roughly the size of Jupiter) patch on his chin where it looks like he's had a load of fur ripped out.

I am blaming both him and Sonic for this, since it is probably caused by an argument over who gets today's favoured position on the back of the sofa.

Jakey seems in good spirits and the patch looks raw but is clean so I am just going to keep an eye on it - there's no sign of abscess or infection or anything - just looks like someone has ripped a patch of fur out and it's bled a little.
