Your daily cat and kitten news

[ddraig]

It's new to me but it makes sense - once I'd checked that coconut oil is not toxic to cats - and yes some vets (and hippies) recommend it for softening fur/mats, or for giving by mouth to shift hairballs through a cat's system. BUT - the ones that say do this, prescribe about a spoonful a day, not drinking it neat from the jar the little glutton ... in excess I suspect it might make her puke or just give her a really oily dose of the runs. Or maybe she'll thrive on it, what do I know....

ta, not sure which woo site google had led partner to the info!
Cat also licked the bit put on her fur
we'll see!

Well if it's an incentive for her to scrub up a bit and actually *groom* a bit more, and the oil then helps her furballs move through the gut, then it's all good, isn't it? Hope it helps her. (I will still love her even if she's not as scruffy any more )

She looks like queen of all she surveys.

I love it when Jakey decides to flake out on the desk near me, because it means I can play with his little feet - he's a real sweetheart about this and doesn't seem to mind, just purrs and purrs like it's the best thing ever

They seem to be getting on together ... Little red is looking very comfortable and happy.
Where's Molly?

Tobytoes .. you are so handsome!!!

Extra elegant and mysterious catness going on here today, not a ridiculous creature at all.

Milly is behind sash, Charlie is still having a sulk in the other room.

Manhole covers are evidently cooler than patio slabs.

No, been to all local shops for lost pics. Not a thing. I'm guessing farm cat. I'm surrounded by farms. I'm not on fb but a friend has looked on there but no joy. Looks like it's names time.

hmm. seems very domesticated for a feral (especially if they are ok with a litter tray)

may be worth contacting local RSPCA / cats protection and local vets' - and getting one of them to scan kitty for a microchip.

Ive had her to the vets. No chip, vet has sent out external and internal email. The vet told me not to put a picture up as some people will claim her even if it's not there's.
As regards the litter tray, vet told me that some will just gravitate to it in a confined space (which she was in bathroom) .
I really am trying, I would hate to think someone is upset about losing her, I've been there and it's horrible.

 

[Calamity1971]

Had kitty looked over. She's not chipped. Underweight but not that much I should worry. Vet has sent an email to other vets in case someone is missing her. If not then it's spaying and chipping. Think I may have another lovely mouth to feed.
Not naming her yet just in case, give it two weeks and I may need suggestions.

I'm just glad you are doing all you can to check, my boys are really friendly and I'd hate to think that if they got lost they'd end up with someone else not bothering to try to find out whether they had a home while my heart was completely broken. The thought terrifies me. So thank you for checking. (MIne are all microchipped though).

Is this an actual litter tray please? If so do you mind letting me know where to get one?
Molly has not been using hers properly recently and being going over the edge
thanks

Delilah had another check up at the vets this morning who said she was very well behaved. She hasnt lost as much weight as I thought which is good and I got some tips on getting her to have her tablets.

Got to ring back at 1 today as they did a full blood screen and for some reason I'm nervous about it. Poor Delilah was panting a little in the taxi on the way home, but was perfectly fine once we got it. I stayed with her for about 30 minutes and there was no more panting and she was eating and having treats. So I'm hoping it was just a little warm in the cab and she was stressed. £201 for that little excursion (not including cab fares). She's lucky I love her so much as that has now put an end to my going to Edinburgh in a couple of weeks time.

Ah, now you want to share the bed do you? Had to hold his paws while he settled down. Big wuss.
