Your daily cat and kitten news

Cold outside, but Bloom was waiting for me, came inside to rest by the meter reading hatch, presumably in a show of solidarity about the price rises, then patiently by the back kitchen door, waiting to have a few Dreamies after I finish my brekkie.

Morning encounter: Chloe and Mr Fox

CHLOOX.jpg
 
Was outside with Chloe and Rogue when my foxy friend walked in.

foxy's tail looks a bit of a state - is s/he just shedding winter coat?

or got a touch of mange? (in which case it's not good for foxy, and not sure if it can affect kitties who have been in contact)

think there's a fox welfare organisation that will send out something for mange that you can add to food for foxes

I do have mange treatment. He does have a bit of mange. the top of his tail did have fur missing for a while. Looked like he was probably involved in a tussle with another fox, but that has now grown back
 
I always think when they tuck their head into their paws it means they have a bit of a headache.

(I don't know that for certain but it seems a bit "I have a headache" thing to do iykwim).

That thought occurred to me too. Thankfully Lilith has only done that once and then woke up demanding dinner. Of course it could also be to block out the light during nap time.

I think they must get headaches the same as us and 99% of the time it is nothing serious.

I know that they do for things that are serious, so it stands to reason that they would get the same sort of headaches that we do for minor things - reflected pain from a pulled muscle, or lack of sleep etc.

The other thing I think when I see a cat asleep with its paws over its eyes is that maybe it just wanted the light turned off and it was maybe a bit bright. :)
