The Cat Thread

Late response! Thanks. Is there a non Apple alternative?

Pretty sure there are quite a few AirTag alternatives but AirTag are usually reviewed as the best of that genre and someone up thread said they were shit for finding a cat so maybe best to ignore my advice.

hahahaha 😅

My cats turning feral.
He comes hone on a morning to eat and instantly wants to go back out. Then same when I come home.
Hes desperate for me to play outside with him but I have steps and a street no real garden. I do sit with him for an hour or so.
He usually is a lapcat and sleeps under the duvet in my armpit.
Hes sleeping in the sink now. He gets scabby when hes flea(y?) I have frontline plus but maybe a flea collar will help. I try and keep him in during the day. He got very ill last year and I thought it was stress but maybe the weather is more influential.
I have cream for him too.

There’s a confused pigeon in my kitchen and my cat just looking it

..probably a stare-off?

I have picked up the pigeon and removed it from the kitchen and it has fucked off. Cat is being distracted with some thinly sliced turkey from Marks and Spencer

Work smart not hard

Meet pizza new Foster cat with 4 kittens as well kitten pics to come soon.

Awww, what a sweetie. I need kitten pics!

Sweet name as well!
Curious to hear what the kids' names will be 🙂

Fingers crossed I'm coming off the back of a very stressful 3 weeks. I'm not posting this story for sympathy (except for the cat), but a PSA for double checking your cat prescriptions. First, Higgs got in a fight with a neighbour and ended up with an infecteed abscess from bitemarks behind her ear. Very pussy for a few days, and the vet prescribed some antibiotics and anti-inflammatories (Metacam). After 5 days, the abscess went down and all seemed well, then Higgs suddenly started being really mopey and vomited a few times in one day. Back to the vet, and they diagnosed here with aserious kidney condition, and said we should carry on with the Metacam whilst she has twice weekly fluids injections. At his point, I realised for the first week I had accidently doubled her dose of Metacam, which was the cause of the kidney problems. So for the following week I had thought I had possibly killed our cat as she wouldn't eat and was clearly very unwell. Best case I thought I had caused her life-altering kidney damage. After a few fluid injections, she seemed to be doing much better, but then had a relapse, the vet ran bloods again and this time it looks like pancreatitis, the kidney levels are back to normal. Cue more antibiotics and Metacam (this time I am sure of the dose). Today she seems to be on the up again.

TLDR: Double check the doses of your cats' medicine, don't be stupid like me.

Kittenzzzzzz

Oh my god, stop it!

Seem to have inadvertently picked cat lovers paradise to come on holiday. This is out of our villa door. There's about 20 cats here, mostly tiny kittens. Some you can touch, some you can't but none aggressive.
The owner said they're all wild, he tries to tell guests not to feed them but they don't listen so that's why they're doing so well.
Sad really, none of them are neutered and I imagine during the winter there's not much food for them all around here in rural Mallorca. Super cute though

Hi cat crew,

This is probably the wrong place to post as everyone probably already has a cat but we are looking for a place for our sweet and very friendly cat Marcel to stay for 4/5 months from the end of September while we refurbish a house we are buying.

We are moving in with parents and their dog and it won't work with them both.

Marcel is an outdoor cat and we would happily pay for a cat flap to be installed and then uninstalled.

Drop me a DM if you're interested in hanging out with him for a few months. He loves strokes, cuddles and belly rubs

"domestic" cats are some of the most succesful hunters in the wild.
I'd be more concerned about the wildlife (birds esp. ground nesting, small reptiles and amphibius critters and mice)

That's so scary. Hope she continues to get better.

OMG it's too much.

Those whiskers.

What are you planning to do with them all? (the kittens not the whiskers)

Cute overload!!!
We are just fostering them they will go back to the adoption place hopefully to get new homes. They are getting more and more adventurous

@Miss_Mouse Hiya!
