Your daily cat and kitten news

Epona should I defrost him some prawns? Or a chicken breast? (Cooked? Raw?) or he would probably eat quite a lot more kitten treats. I know they’re not nutritionally complete, but is it better than going without?

Some plain poached chicken (just in plain water so it is cooked through, no stock or salt or flavourings) without bones and cut up small is what my vet has always recommended to try in situations like this - it's fairly easy on the stomach and the mouth. Wait for it to cool down a bit before offering though as they are daft enough to burn themselves on hot food - cat body temp is just under 40C.

You can also offer some of the water you poached it in when it is cool enough.

This!

Btw, you can buy cardboard cat beds. They are literally cardboard boxes. They start at £10 each and go up to £50+

Do you need a cat tower? Phoebe has never used hers and I keep meaning to put it on Freecycle.

Really? We would love it! I’ll PM

So, after all that he just licked the bowl clean for his supper time meal. Not sure if he’s less hot, super hungry or if it’s because I sat with him. He is quite clingy today and maybe wanted to be with me more than he did want his food?

I did then try to give him seconds and he looked at me like I was stupid and walked off.

I’ll try a little top up when I go to bed.

Phoebe has just returned from her evening adventures and wants me upstairs, feeding her Dreamies.

I’ll never know her real age, but she was estimated to be 3.5 years when we adopted her, so perhaps she’s 10.5 years now?

Orson is down the back of the garden looking sad. We can't get to him cos he's round the side of the derelict shed. But at least he's close. Hoping he'll come in soon and we can try to work out what's wrong.

 

[izz]

I'd be a bit concerned as well Me76, does he respond to treats or anything ?

Nothing.
He's moving just looking very sorry for himself.

Communing with skirting board, apparently

Is he any better now?

 

[Me76]

We got him to eat a little and drink a little and after 5 hours we've got him inside.

Going to let him settle for a bit and then try and work out what's wrong.

The picket tiger is ravenous today and causing chaos. Currently sulking down the side of the sofa because he isn’t allowed to climb on the shelf where the plants are, having now smashed three plant pots.

We get similar sometimes. If it goes away in a day, we tend to say "He ate a bad mouse". But longer than that and he's off to see his favourites at the vet. Bernard doesn't have the spare fat to sit around not eating for long.

Hopefully he's just feeling a bit out of sorts due to the heat. I know I am!

That tummy, though.

I was WFH with the patio doors open this afternoon, when I heard some scrabbling. I looked up and saw next door's kitten climbing over the fence into our garden from the other next door, with a feathered companion in her mouth. She didn't hang around and I'm sure her human was delighted with the present.

think it's just that the gravitational pull of the skirting board was higher than the floor's.

it's fairly advanced kitteh physics

Not sure if this is some kind of protest?!!
I was sitting there a few seconds ago

Milly cat/sheep rug! Too warm for the kitteh.

Lil’ Bob has never been allowed in the wardrobe so, now we’re getting a new one, he’s making up for lost time

I love how she looks as though she's been there for hours!

Yes!
She is out of sorts today, not moving much and staying in another room

Oh I hope she's ok.
