Your daily cat and kitten news

I came across a single Missy hair the other day, and it's the weirdest shit ever. In one strand, about 10cm long, was divided into three colours: dark, golden, dark again. It's how she gets her curious highlights, but I am really confused as to how one can alter a hair's colour as it grows.

it's a careful bit of evolution so that the hairs show on fabrics of any colour...
 
Flew back from Florida tuesday morning. happy to report the girls were picked up from the cattery drop centre by my neighbour on Monday morning. He took them back to my flat where they spent the day on their own. he took a video of them coming out of the carrier and sent it to me. it brought a smile on my face to see Bella not coming out of the carrier, then suddenly stand up, do a rapid look left and right then jumping out. She recognised she was in fact back home. :D. Chloe then came out and walked straight to sniff the food. typical overweight Chloe. Loves to eat :D. Rogue came out last-same as bella: oh shit, I'm back home look :D

 
Still think of domestic cats as murderers of wild life and should be banned as pets. Some places in New Zealand ban domestic cats. Song birds round here are getting rarer year on year. I reckon Hackney should operate a cat curfew and catch and destroy any that are found out after hours...

Plus they crap in any freshly dug or weeded garden. Unhealthy for children. Wonder if strategically placing cat food laced with rat poison would get rid of them — cats that is, not the children...

I don't mind your opinion - after all, as the famous phrase has it, opinions are like arseholes - but posting them on a thread which is clearly for people who like cats is ... what's the phrase? Oh yeah ... a cunt's game.

A bit like turning up on a the parents sofa thread to tell everyone there that bringing children into the world is irresponsible.

Just cunty.

Nothing at all like turning up on a parents’ thread — we don’t know which kids will grow up to kill, but we do know all cats will decimate wildlife...
 
Radar has developed a habit of making cute little "brrrrp??" trilling noises when I bring him food. It's adorable :)

I think even though when cats are ill or in pain they shut down a bit and don't want to eat and lose their appetite entirely, but if treated once they get better I do think they remember what starvation felt like. Since he's recovered he has been more enthusiastic about most food than ever before in his life. I'm glad we persevered with treating him and tube feeding when he wasn't right, he's a lovely little thing and means the world to me - and he's back to himself now :)

Thankfully the bald spot on his shoulder where he was shaved for a transdermal Fentanyl patch is also now growing back - it took so long to get even a dusting of fur that I was (once the immediate concern of his ill health was over!) worried he would be bald there forever - but he went through a moult to get his summer coat over the last 7-10 days and it started growing back in really quickly.

cats that have been neutered sometimes need a bit of help (hormone shot / pills or something) to re-grow fur

I think he's ok, he's never had any issue moulting tons of fur all over our laundry without going bald :D He does both white and black fur, so it's guaranteed to show up on any clothing or upholstery :D

The patch on his shoulder was going to be the slowest to grow back because there is not as much blood supply to the skin there as in the throat area (which was the other place he was majorly shaved - from his cheekbones down to his chest (including his whiskers* o_o ), that all started growing back in fairly quickly though). But the shoulder patch is about half-length now so should come back to full length within a couple of months at most.

* His whiskers are still blunt on the ends where they were shaved off and he pokes me in the face with them when we are cuddling, but they are growing back
 
And I currently have a big pink cat sitting on my right hand while purring and dribbling. He's lovely too. I'm not sure what he wants right now, but he's absolutely adorable.
 
Just been summoned by my very decent neighbour - his lawn is a carnage site of pigeon feathers ,after about 18 months of effort , Tiger (our tabby) , finally struck lucky with her efforts.

(she has been firmly spoken to with possible withdrawal of benefits)
