Your daily cat and kitten news

[BigTom]

Yeah, syringe the liquid into chicken or tuna, she's all good. No pills cos she has had teeth out.

I wouldn't like to have to try to directly syringe into her mouth out use a pill gun as she's a rescued stray and not one for being held, I'd need another person to help me and she would hate it.

I switched to credelio flea pills because doing drops on her neck was something she really hated. I stuff half a pill into a bit of chicken and she eats it no problems.

She is doing fine now, back to the vet tomorrow for hopefully a final check.

All clear from the vet today, no more metacam or antibiotics

I've said it before and will say it again, vets should offer a 'learn how to pill your cat' session. I know all mogs are difficult in their own way and behave differently for the vet than their people but it might be a start.

That would be great! Although yes, they do behave themselves more for the vet, the little tykes.

So far today Zoe has eaten:

• Some grass from the garden (which she promptly threw up)
• Some toast crumbs from my plate when I wasn't looking.

But I'd put money on her just sniffing and walking away from the fresh chicken I have just bought, because she suspects a pill may be hidden in it...

Put down some catnip on the floor for our visitor, Akiro. He was loving it. Rolling about all over the place. After watching for a good while, Rogue had enough. Came over and told him to get out of her flat.

Why is he such a disgusting animal? He'll wander round the house now dropping his food everywhere while he chews.

Could he have a loose or nagging tooth?

We taught Toby how to play fetch! Now it's all he wants to do...

He doesn't have any front teeth, so has been a messy eater ever since we got him, poor little mite.

That's wonderful!

My dearly departed Sonic used to LOVE playing fetch when he was young.
Like everything else he did, he was really intense about it. He'd decide when he wanted to play and look around the flat until he'd found a bit of paper, then bring it over and drop it on my foot. If I didn't immediately pay attention he would pick it up and drop it on my foot again, and if that didn't work, he'd start tapping my foot with his paw and waaaahing at me. When I'd look down at him he'd be staring at me with his little intense and serious face and then he'd make some happy huffing noises because I'd looked at him. Then the game of fetch would start, he could go on for hours.
My lovely little boy.

Excellent training! With a toy they can carry, like a catnip mouse or a tiny rope ball, mine immediately bat it far under the sofa

Toby is turning out very similar, intense, vocal and doesn't want to stop!

Sounds like he was a wonderful character and very intelligent. You have been in my thoughts Epona.

Lil’ Bob is incensed that Vic has dared to sit on Mrs SFM’s lap

 

[seeformiles]

Mrs SFM has bought some new shoes and Lil’ Bob has claimed the lid before his brother does. He’s trying to clean himself and looks spectacularly gormless and boss-eyed with his tongue stuck out

 

[Callie]

Yeah, I checked twice and you're definitely still not spending enough on treats.

since it seemed like a good idea, the mogs i used to live with, photos must have been taken some time mid to late 90s.

bubble (black and white) and pepper (tabby and white) both liked a box, and indulged in feline deconstructionist art when in the mood.
