In our experience cats never forget any routine (even something that was only meant as a one off). It becomes their right which (if to their advantage) they constantly remind you of and enforce with a steel claw. I always lose any battle of wills with our cats. I know my place. 4 4 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

steve1 Posted February 18, 2021 Share Posted February 18, 2021 Had to take Olly to the vet this morning as she has scratched a raw patch on her neck. Now have 3 lots of medicine and cream for her. Administering that lot should be fun... steve 13 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Porkscratching Posted February 18, 2021 Share Posted February 18, 2021 (edited) A number of people have said the tabby one of ours is a MaineCoon...no idea as he was a rescue, just always think of him as a fairly big hairy moggy!

Chrisr40 Posted February 18, 2021 Share Posted February 18, 2021 Robbie has just meant that the vet relieved me of £200. Suspected tapeworm from fleas picked up from the foxes which cr#p in my garden. He is putting on weight since starting the treatment which is good but has now taken to insisting he sleeps on me at night. At first its aw bless him...now its please get off. 3 14 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Dava Posted February 18, 2021 RMweb Premium Share Posted February 18, 2021 We had an outdoor Tom who lived in the garden for a couple years in a hutch as we have 4 female cats already. ’Had’ because in the cold weather he was allowed in ‘temporarily’, you can guess what happened. Likely to be having a trip to the vets, courtesy Mrs Dava. 5 cats....insane! 15 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

" Many years ago at the previous house our neighbour had two thirty foot leylandii trees planted to screen his caravan from the house. Beneath them lay a deep carpet of needles which was quickly adopted by our cats as a giant litter tray. This worked fine, neighbour was tolerant and understanding and all was well until we decided to push out the boat and have a real Christmas tree. Hallelujah said the cats, indoor facilities....... 2 17 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold SHMD Posted February 28, 2021 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 28, 2021 Our George is not well. He has eaten 1.5m of plastic string. He's been off his food for 3 days and been to the vets twice. Tonight he was sick again and coughed up 30cm of the string. I wasn't fool enough to "pull it" and cut it off near his mouth. Tomorrow, he is going to the vets again. Totally off his food but taking in lots of milk. Lethargic and not interested in play at all. Stroke him and he instantly purrs though. His neutering and chipping, due Thursday, looks as if it might be delayed now. Kev. 2 17 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of our cats years ago ate some string attached to one of those continental sausages, ie. ate the sausage and the string with it ! In that case it just came out the "other end".. Anyway, very best of luck with George tomorrow, do let us know how he gets on... 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
