Your daily cat and kitten news

[KatyF]

Unusual to find them in rescues- we tried to rescue one as a companion for the one we already had, and in the end got a retired breeding queen (which still cost us money) because those we did find in rescues were in pairs already. The nicest, most affectionate cats...

She thought she'd missed out as she'd been told he went to a home. The place he went to returned him after a few days as they said he followed them everywhere and slept on the bed. What were they expecting?! Also I'd keep any cat that followed me everywhere!

and have I posted this one?

That's classic ragdoll behaviour! They love people, attention, cuddles.... one of mine is friendlier than the other, but both follow me round the house, rush to the door when I come in, chirrup-meow to check where I am, constantly look for attention, play fetch... it's just what ragdolls do!

I am currently in Brixton drinking and I think I may need to go and get one of these.

I'm currently in Durham and thinking about jumping on a train .

I was talking to a bloke at work the other day about his dog and he was saying how cats could never give him the looks and welcome he gets from his dogs.

But my cats come and see me when I open the front door. I have to put my bags down in the corridor to stroke them because they won't move until I do. If they're in the house they come when I call them and I get the look of love from them so often.

I get pretty much that from next door's cat when i get towards the front door (from outside that is)

My sort of cat! I have 2 Oris and a CRex cross, and they are similar in nature when it comes to affection and companionship, the Oris especially follow me round like little lost puppies, and Radar sleeps in bed with me - yes IN the bed, with his head on my pillow (or my face) - I wouldn't have it any other way

It must be so easy to fall asleep and forget that you've left your claws sticking in your human's knee.

Rik, dozing:

Pink string FTW!

he doesn't look all that impressed...

He absolutely adores his pink string. Drags it around and sings to it.

Exactly. I can't imagine a cat that wasn't like that. This is the scene most nights/mornings at mine with my little lady.

reminds me of pac-man

Oldpuss seems to be on the decline she's hardly eating, back legs are very weak and she's got the frowny face that seems to indicate pain or discomfort. Will see how she goes this week but I don't think she's got long left.

So sorry to hear that

poor baby

I’m back home after a few days in Munich and Alfie has not left my side since.

A pair of handsome fellows

My old lady is definitely struggling Her back legs are hardly working at all, she just went in the litter tray and pissed out the door all over the floor, and she's...distant. When you stroke her, there's little to no response; she has a haunted look in her eyes. Poor old thing.

Vets at 4pm - it was going to be to check her bloods, but I wonder if the vet will suggest her time has come. Bit worried as I will have the kids with me.

[trabuquera]

Very sorry about this, May. (If the vet says the time has come ... my recommendation would be NOT to let the kids in if she is going to have the Final Jab. I was there when we sent off my late loancat and while it wasn't agonising or distressing, the whole process happens a lot faster and a lot more bluntly than you think it will ... I sort of had soppy visions of stroking him gently as he floated off gently on an opiate cloud, but it's not like that at all, it's much more abrupt and shocking, though not gory.) So ... if the kids say they want to be brave and be there, say no, imho. (But I hope it's not that, and that your vet can find something more positive for oldpuss.) hugs to you all.

 

[May Kasahara]

Thanks all. Vet confirmed what I already knew, that she's fucked Can't really see, can hardly get around, she's lost her Beakerness.

If the kids hadn't been there I would have let her go right then. As it is I will make an appointment in a couple of days
