Your daily cat and kitten news

[smmudge]

to keep feeding him dry food while he is in this condition is big mistake.

He was fine when we first switched back to dry, which we did because he wasn't eating his wet food. Now his choices are wet or nothing!

o hai to the black cats of urban

Some ginger cunt came into the back garden last night and cornered Missy against the cat flap. The screeching I heard, I think from her, was possibly audible from space.

Gilly, 18 year old rescue cat, very much in charge of the other feline we have.

 

[Calamity1971]

Milly has taken to watching me cook from the top of the fridge.

 

[hegley]

I love Milly's little black chin.

 

[May Kasahara]

I love the look of contempt that is a cat's default setting and I love love love black cats.

I adopted a new tactic today for the monthly nightmare of flea treatment. Missy was fast asleep with her back to me and, after breaking the seal in another room, I crept up on her and administered it quickly. It was too quick and she was too dozy for the usual violence to ensue, and although she went off in a huff, she's been on my lap twice for cuddles twice since. I think this might be my method for all such scenarios in the future.

There is a lot to be said for sneaking up on a cat to administer non-oral medication (cos sticking a pill or liquid in the mouth of a sleeping cat could cause it to choke) or do some other sort of care when it is asleep. The gently stroke a paw and manage to get a couple of claws trimmed before they are fully awake is a tried and tested method employed by many

I had to go up to the vet yesterday to get some emergency dry food (poor budgeting plus an unexpected bill from inland revenue meant we have to pay for stuff with cash until the end of the month.) Picked up 1.5 kg bag of food for £15. That is £10 a kilo (the dry we usually get is £4.80 a kilo). I offered Radar a little bit, as I offer him a bit of every food that comes into the house... he hasn't eaten dry since his surgery in early Feb and subsequent complications and hospitalisation/feeding tube. Of course he loves this expensive stuff.

We have scaffolding up on our building for window replacement by lambeth. completed last week. unfortunately, it wont be taken down for a few more weeks as the roof needs major work for my neighbour's upstairs. the girls love jumping out the window and walking around. i let them out but often I have to climb out the window at night before I go to bed and get them back in. I first used cat treats to lure them back in and close the window. but they now know its a trick, so ignore it when I wave and rattle it outside the window . Clever girls . So now I have to squeeze myself out the bedroom or living room window and get them back in.

absolutely. they love it. last week when my windows were being replaced, I left them with my neighbour upstairs as he had his windows done day earlier. he called me at 08:20 am at work to say two had jumped out the window and he couldn't get them back in. I snuck out of work without telling management. cycled home. climbed out the window, got them back in and cycled back to work with only one work colleague who figured it out as I came back drenched in sweat. . the window contractors thankfully didn't mind me up on the scaffolding as they knew I was getting my cats. Do feel sorry for the girls though. Once its gone, they are going to look back on this with fond memories. the good old days..

We have 2 cats (& a dog). Floyd pretty much rules the roost even though he's the youngest cat. He also absolutely adores our old Staff Bruce.

A very friendly cat I spotted on top of a deer fence:

This is our other cat Oz. W even had him about 8 years, he loves the dog but isn't at all keen on floyd. My phone is basically just full of cat & dog pix [emoji16]

A few yards from the friendly cat, there was this very playful/cheeky little young cat:

The light was really failing at this point and he was under trees, hence the crappy photo.

Very friendly pub cat

I came home to a power cut this afternoon. It was fixed within a couple of hours, but my chief concern was that the cat flap wouldn't work.

fluff - as displayed in the first picture. is that an invite for tummy rubs, or a hand trap?
