Your daily cat and kitten news

[Manter]

I have 2x sureflap feeders because the cats are twats and she tries to eat his food because she’s greedy, and he eats her food to make a point.

They are broken *again*

They’ll send me replacements, like they did the last twice, but I am really pissed off now. They can’t explain why it’s happening and I don’t have time to keep dealing with them.

So.... and suggestions of microchip feeders that aren’t surefeed?

So... Jakey went for his annual yesterday, and has lost 10% of his bodyweight since his last checkup which puts him in the "this may not be good" bracket. He also has to have pretty much every tooth he has left taken out (he has a little gingivitis on one side, but vet says he will remove all his remaining molars and premolars this time so he doesn't have to go through surgery again in future, he's getting on a bit now and has a long history of dental issues). I am watching him carefully at the moment to see exactly what he is eating - is it his teeth causing him to eat less, is something else going on? Vet wants to see him back again in 2 months, or sooner if anything looks like it is going wrong with him.

Sonic has the major snots at the moment. He is sneezing great gobs of snot all over the place (including one where his nose was less than 1cm from my face). This is probably due to a flareup of dormant feline herpesvirus.

I think this could all be due to a food change a couple of months ago, I decided to try them on a senior food but it has all been shite since then. Will switch them back to their normal stuff.
Will let you know how it goes.

bought a cat mask from sainsbury haloween section. put it on and got on my tummy crawling about on the floor like a lizard Rogue came into the living room and froze. Chloe got up and became apprehensive . a few minutes later took the mask off and gave her a big kiss on her lips and nose. she was still a bit nervy for a a minute but then got over it.

Do you reckon purring is tiring? I ask because Missy spent about 20 minutes this morning pawing the shit out of the duvet between my chest and her, all whilst constantly chugging away.

You're missing a trick there. One picture per post gets you a lot more likes than a load of pictures on one post

he looks like he is questioning the concept of 'pet' to refer to a member of a multi species household.

I did similar to Radar once, without the use of a mask however. He was in the hallway and I went into that area on all fours - he took one look at me and fled into the kitchen. Then a few seconds later he was peering round the corner, realised it was me - he dashed up to me, stood up on his hind legs, and boxed me around the face with his front paws in that slapping thing they do (claws safely in). That was me told

How's Karl's paw doing, BigTom ?

How's Karl's paw doing, BigTom ?

I think it's healing fine, he's still avoiding putting weight on it but it's not causing any problems.

edit: just had a look and it's scabbed over nicely, he's walking on it normally, just holding it up when he's sitting down.
