Your daily cat and kitten news

Has the one on the chair got tufts of white fur on his/her head or is it the camera angle. So cute

Zoom in - she has a white diamond on her forehead and that other bit is the paw she's leaning on

I think she's adorable, really odd paint job, but such delicate features. Scrapper though. Watched a Lab cross the road to avoid her the other day because she not only wouldn't give up her bit of pavement, she advanced at him. Literally 20 times her size

(Grew up on a scrap yard)

Ziggy really does not like Felix food and will never finish off a whole sachet.However, he's very partial to the Whiskas pouches that handily are readily available at Poundland ar 4 for a quid.

make sure he never finds out where you're getting them

Considering mine were eating out of bins they only like sheba and frigging Mon petite

Same with my two - Raised on the cheapest of cheap cat food and scraps.

Then by mistake I bought a small packet of the good/expensive stuff just because it was convienent on the way home. They loved it and refused to eat cheap shit ever again..!

Ha. So it is

Same with our Paddy - he was a stray for about a year and will only eat Sheba/Gourmet

The one on the chair looks like a tortoiseshell to me - black or brown and orange

My problem is that Radar can now demand whatever the fuck he wants after not eating for over a month (had a feeding tube and I was syringing the cat version of Complan into a tube down the side of his neck into his oesophagus 5 times a day) - so if he now decides he wants to eat caviar, he gets caviar. It will be cheaper than multiple vet visits anyway, the amount he's already cost in vet bills you'd think he was gold plated with a few diamond settings - just seeing him eating anything still makes me well up with happiness, I don't honestly care that much whether it's more expensive than another brand of food. (£6.5k vet bill for surgery and to get him eating again afterwards, after that the odd 20p here or there over different brands of food seems petty - and I love him. He loves me too, he's the sweetest thing)

Hah! The missus believes in buying only the best gushy food, but Bernard turns his nose up at most of it. The only "fancy" thing he'll eat is the Royal Canin stuff, and Mrs.C still doesn't like it because it's not 90%+ meat. Generally, he prefers Whiskas and some other Purina thing. Oh, and medium-rare pigeon breast off our plates, of course. And then he's the opposite with the kibble - only likes the Royal Canin stuff.

I think if they made a food with what he naturally craves - pigeon, spiders, and pillbugs - he'd rather like that.

I don't like this hot weather, because it seems to prevent lap occupation. I watched three football matches yesterday, plus most of a rugby match, and the only contact my lap received was being walked over on the way to her chair. Autumn, Winter and Spring sporting events are preferred, especially snooker.

 

[mauvais]

We've moved house, two houses down from where we lived. One of our cats is a proper explorer, and thus was all over the place anyway, and he's quite comfortable with it. The other is the opposite, and sits outside the old house. I did try to pick him up and move him today but unsurprisingly it didn't go well for either of us. Any tips?

I'd leave him to it for a while, provided the new owners don't mind. I assume he's worked out where the food bowl is?

i used to know some people who acquired a cat with a house, as kitty refused to stay at her hoomans' new house...

dunno really. is kitty coming back for food?

these things take a while for cats to get the hang of.

has old place got new people yet? make sure they know the score, or kitty will try and adopt them.

No new people yet, they've done a survey but having been through buying this place, I guess it'll still be a while before they complete and anyone moves in. We will have a chat once they do.

We've just come home and I've lured him in - he's here now eating which is a start, I guess, but won't be the end of it either.

Ozzie still seems a bit off. She only eating a bit and sitting in places she doesn't normally. She had a sneezing fit earlier too.

I say this, and then two hours later she watches the whole of Poland-Colombia on my lap, complete with dreamy nose-twitching.

My lot are often a bit less cuddly in this sort of weather, it's clear they want cuddles but they get too warm and wander off eyeing me reproachfully as if it's my fault LOL

I fancied a duvet day today though and Radar my feline co-sleeper was wonderful, although I do sometimes wish he wouldn't insist on sleeping with a paw on my face - sometimes he flexes his foot a bit in his sleep or stretches and it can be a bit prickly Also whiskers up my nose he's that close to my face

Update needed on Ozzie. Hopes she's okay.

Well she woke me up in the night by nibbling my fingers! I also heard her have another sneezing fit before I got out of bed, but she was out by the time I got up.

I just said to Jakey to get on my lap, and he did, then the crazy kitty's legs seemed to go in every direction as he fell off my lap, and I now have a whole new load of scratches - clumsiest cat ever! He wasn't in the queue when feline grace was being handed out bless him.

 

[ddraig]

Molly has been a bit off with us recently
Not sure if it's because we cut a load of her hair off or because we won't/haven't given her normal cat food
She was asking and hoping for some for ages after having a bit after we ran out of her thyroid food
Hasn't sat on my lap for weeks now and is ducking most of the times we try and stroke her, also running past us
We did go away for a night too and didn't seem bothered about us when we got back

 

[Whagwan]

Turns out we had nothing to worry about with Reba and the new baby.

She was never a huge lap cat but has taken to sitting on the missus's lap when she is breastfeeding, comfortable as hell around the little one.

That's good My old girl has only just started to let the children stroke her, a mere nine and three quarter years after my eldest was born

My cat Colin is desperate for food.

He's being so patient (bless him) but keeps pawing for ham.





Poor thing. Must be so tempting not to munch the whole thing in front of me.

 

[ddraig]

Molly has been mostly outside for a week! loving the sun, rolling in crap

 

[ddraig]

when I first decided to get a cat, BSH was my first choice but they are so damn expensive. Settled for cheaper russian blue instead. would have loved to have teamed bella up with a BSH

where did you get that brush arch from!?!?! in the vain hope scruffcat Molly will use one! thanks

 

[pogofish]

The brush arches are got cheaply online - but much dearer for exactly the same thing in pet shops.

Despite regularly sprinkling the base with catnip and getting it through the brush, my two expertly ignore it until I'm just at the point of chucking it out, when they both have a good brushing session - then go back to ignoring it apart from the odd scratch on the base, till the next time I'm about to chuck it!

Whose fault is it, then?

I got looks and scratches of incredulity earlier when Switzerland-Costa Rica ended and I turfed Missy off my lap. It was her own fault really, as she could see clearly that they were at about 80 minutes when she got up, and she saw the fourth official hold up the stoppage time board.
