Your daily cat and kitten news

[Geri]

Hang-on, isn't the case that all the cuts and scratches being around the face is taken as a sign of him being the aggressor/dominant/won't back down cat?

He's probably gone missing cos he's the Alpha-Cat wanting his hard-won territory back!

No, he's not aggressive at all - he was very deferential to my two cats. Geri would push him out of the way to get food, and she's a 1/3 of his size.

Anyway there has been no sign of him at all, either over there or back here.

 

[pogofish]

Hopefully it won't be much longer till he shows.

and size is not that important when it comes to cattitude.

the two mega-mogs i used to live with often got chased around (our) garden by one local black cat who was about half the size of either of them. one time, the catch on the cat flap (in theory only allowing magnet-tag fitted kittehs in) got jammed, and little black cat got in and started eating their dinner. they came and meowed at me to go and put him out...

and where i live now, the local chief cat until a year or two back (when she died aged 19) was mistaken for a kitten by people who didn't know her. she didn't stand any nonsense from visiting cats, and while she wasn't overtly aggressive with dogs (we have a public path at the end of our garden) she would firmly escort them off the premises...

I hope he comes back. Missing cats are a whole world of .

Geri is refusing all food, and I can't get her to take the tablets she is supposed to have which will help her appetite and stop her having the runs.

The vet said if these tablets don't work, then putting her to sleep might be the kindest thing to do, as her quality of life is being affected, so I really need her to take them.

She's lying on the sofa looking really tired and sad.

((Geri)) I expect you've tried everything possible and I wouldn't want to teach my granny to suck eggs but I'm a cat pilling expert so let me know if you want any top tips.

So, So, So, sorry to hear this

The dreaded Taxcat has expanded her purrview over human affairs.

No longer satisfied with nesting anywhere and everywhere she wants, when she wants and ruthlessly inflicting her Luxury Tax on anything and everything edible that she decides she might like, Her Majesty has now taken to appropriating our visitors for her purrsonal usage. We had two nice people pop round this afternoon. Both met Midnight and both were immediately conscripted into her rapidly growing collection of human slaves. Once more her glossy, strokable fur, big green eyes and kittenish charm have enabled her to start collecting people as well as food, nesting spots and pootling around and about, mercilessly crushing dissent beneath her mighty paws.

She is here. She has the taxation policies of King John I in moggy form.

Will we never be set free..?

More to the point, she is obviously a completely different cat to the scared little thing that finally demanded into our place one cold night out of sheer desperation. She let our friend stroke her on first meeting and go as far as stroking the fur back on her cheeks to look at her head shape.

Dylan the tom has not turned up for a couple of days now and has us worried. I know it's spring and he may have scented an in heat female cat and be yowling outside her gaff until he gets to do the deed but we are still worrying. I think we will have to get used to increasing disappearing acts by this one. The roads are really quiet where we are so I doubt he has got hit by a car. Hopefully he will be waiting for me when I get in tonight.

I put this down to my determined commitment to a rigid policy of letting her know exactly where she stands in the domestic hierarchy. Never let it be said that Midnight ever has to question exactly whose house she's in and exactly who's in charge and rules without question.

 

[Geri]

Thanks everyone. She seems a little better now and has eaten some salmon. Hopefully the tablets are starting to take effect.

Breeze had a "friend" come to visit this afternoon. Other snaps from afternoon garden patrol.

I hope she makes a recovery

can I ask what you've tried to put them in ? Substantial Robert is taking his meds crushed up in lik-e-lix at the moment, but we've also used the water from tuna in spring water, catmilk, little tuna, little bits of hamburger, that kind of thing.

Usually in her normal food, or poked into those stick treats.

I don't know, I never thought about crushing them before. I bought those before, but I can't remember if she liked them. Something to think about, although we had success in the end today.

CRI - fantastic pics of breeze (as ever I'm lost in the swirling earhair!) but my very favourite is the first one, because neighbour cat "friend"'s expression is priceless. "Jesus Christ IT'S A LION!!!"
