Your daily cat and kitten news

Milly has adapted a new strategy whereby she lies on the arm of the chair then rolls off onto my lap. Last night the dog was behind me and milly flopped onto to sash. Dog was a bit errrr at first
Apols in advance, dimly lit room and shit camera phone.

Then sash realised that this is okay and went to sleep whilst I was perched on the tiniest bit of cushion.

Speaking of one eyed cats...

My One-Eyed Cat has lost a canine tooth. I stood on something hard this morning when I got out of bed, wondered what it was, one look told me it was a broken off canine. Checked the cat but he seems utterly unbothered. No swelling, no tenderness, no blood. Still eating and washing. It’s definitely his tooth, because he’s suddenly missing a canine.

He’s soooo oldd!

Radar's appetite has been a little low the last few days, which is almost certainly due to the heat, but given events this year has me feeling a bit anxious - he's still underweight. Doesn't help that we won't have a delivery of his usual food until tomorrow, and last night the local shop was out of stuff we know he will eat - he has turned his nose up at the replacement (tbh it says "in gravy" but it's more like semi-jellified gravy, and he's a firm "in gravy" cat - this is pushing the description - naturally he eats the jelly-gravy but won't touch the meat part).

He is eating a bit of what I put down for him, just it's all taking me back to when he had anorexia and a feeding tube - I'm still relatively calm atm, will go out in a bit to see if I can find any cat food with actual gravy rather than fake jelly gravy.

I do have some cooked shredded chicken in the freezer which I can defrost and offer him (and maybe make a little bit of broth without onion or garlic to go on it) if I can't find anything suitable before the food order turns up tomorrow.

Sorry to hear it, would be ok/less worrying if he wasn't still underweight I guess.

I always end up reverting to "proper" meat (well, fish generally) in an emergency. Here's hoping he picks up.

Yeah he's alright, was just being fussy, and the main worry was more that he needs to be putting on weight rather than skipping meals. Bowl full of food and pestering me to feed him cos it wasn't something he liked. I got some pouches of something I know he likes and he's eaten this evening. :rolleyes:

Food order arriving tomorrow so should be ok, now have enough stuff that we know he likes to last until then (note to self, do not try to second guess what a cat will want to eat when you've run out of his regular food LOL)
 
Have now learned the lesson that catteries fill up faster than day camps over the summer holidays. Thankfully we managed to nab a cancellation.

Hopefully no-one has any horror stories about Woodside Cattery?
 
Dylan's also lost his appetite, or he's just gone off the wet food that he normally has. Annoying thing is he'll eat the dry food, but we're trying not to give him that incase the blood in wee comes back grr
