Your daily cat and kitten news

Senor Pablo has either caught his nose on a thorn or he's been scrapping. Got a little nick on his nose and he's staying near the house. Didn't seem that worried except for the blood that has dropped on his leg which he is desperate to clean. I have to admit to being completely unconcerned myself. Should I be?

Keep an eye on him, if he starts slumping/drooping/not eating, or smelling whiffy (like old stinky socks) then straight to the vet as it might have got infected - but looks like it will heal up fine on its own to me. Don't bathe it with anything except mild salt water and DEFINITELY not with any human-safe antiseptics as they are often toxic to cats. Tell Pablo it'll be good for his rep to have a scar.
 
It was over an hour from when I woke up this morning to when I left for work, and Missy spent the entire time outside somewhere. It has happened before, but my feline-fatherly instincts can't help but be a little worried.

There was, of course, nothing to worry about. She welcomed me home this afternoon with open claws.

Liked for the pic :)...not the cut :(
 
Liked for you egging him on. "What is it Tom? Have the bastard Tom"
I always egg them on...feel really bad, but it makes him so happy :facepalm:

Also, while I'm here, here's the other one, Jinx. He's usually the clean one (Tom's a scruffy bastard and never grooms himself). But this day, I was doing the garden and there was lamb's tail remnants all over the place. Jinx decided it would be good to roll in it :D

It's a small cut and looks clean - I'd just give it a wipe with some sterile saline solution once a day and keep a close eye on it and watch out for pus/discharge, raised red edges to the wound, bad smell from it, or signs of lethargy, fever (best way to do a basic check on that is if his ears are hot), 3rd eyelids showing, off his food etc. - in which case go to the vet.
 
Woken up at 4.30 this morning by Orson going mad on the window sill looking out into the garden. So I open my bleary eyes to look out and Ozzie is on the outside window sill sitting there looking as cool as a cucumber.

Yeah, that's Bernard too. Rolls around in it, cleans himself, and then comes in coughing and wheezing and worrying us for no reason whatsoever.

He also thinks that getting a nice, long bit of grass with lamb's tails on the end makes for a way better toy than anything we've bought him. He shows up at the back door with one in his mouth and trills at us until we run around the garden with it for him.

Yeah, toys are a waste of time I find.

Get a nice long weed/plant of some sort....especially one with a few leaves at the end and has dried out a bit. Cats (all cats!) love 'em. Drag the leaves on the ground to make scratch noises etc.

Free fun :thumbs:
 
Orson doesn't play with toys at all but Ozzie does. About five weeks ago she kept taking her favourite toy onto the bed and got the hump with me throwing it off, so she took it into the space under the wardrobe to keep it safe from the evil woman - and then forgot about it.

She's recently been playing with the other toy that's around, so last night I got out her favourite one and she went mental. Jumping and growling with it for ages. And taking it onto the sofa. So I kept chucking it off. :)
 
The cat I'm looking after is going to its old home but with new people on Sunday thank god! Its become overly attached to me, but found it had pissed/sprayed on my duvet,so I'm not overly pleased!
 
so the cat's ill, had to have an ultrasound scan the other week, off for a biopsy next week, costing a bloody fortune. and now she's on handcooked chicken, if you please, as there's been much mess from her normal diet. if that weren't enough now she'll eat half of what she's given and then make out there's nothing in the bowl until you hand-feed her a bit.
