Super soaker does seem like an option, anything I could add to the water like vinegar that might be super unpleasant but not toxic?
Lemon would do it - or just citric acid.

Some cats don't give a crap about water.

This thing is surprisingly effective at keeping away marauding tomcats

^ Well if that doesn't say "Beware, I am a vicious killing machine!" I don't know what does ;)

My cat likes lemons. Explain that.

"Beware, I am a vicious killing machine!"

You should have seen him eat that poor spider the other evening....

Merciless!

Holly has kennel cough!

She's perfectly happy though as she had a vaccination earlier in the year so seems to not have a bad case, vet has prescribed antibiotics as they can charge more that way.

Weighed her at the vet and she's put on a kg in a week now she's back on puppy food, she's got a weeks worth left and then she'll return to normal food I think.

Seriously? Sure you don't want a different vet?

Standard procedure.

Charge for the vaccine and then for the remedy.

^ I hope not :-/

There are vets around who aren't all about unnecessary costs.

Hope Holly feels back to normal soon.

I'm horrible cynical.

But effectively she's over the worst of it and the vet explained the reasoning to my wife; frankly I don't buy it, but its not one I'm that bothered about.

I'm not going to start getting dfp and conspiracy theory about it.

Find out which ones they are, then buy them from boots for half the price.

Just found out she has detached retina in both eyes, she will inevitably go blind in the near future.

Anyone have experience of blind cats? We're told that if we don't move the furniture around too much she can be a happy indoor cat.

We had a cat called Tuli when I was a lad. She was hit by a car when she was 7 and was totally blind as a result. She was epic! Could walk along a 2" wide 6' fence while negotiating tree branches and stuff. She used to sit in the garden twitching her ears around like radar when the local birds landed nearby and taunted her. All good fun til she nailed two of them one afternoon like a blind boss! If you picked her up in one room and put her down in another she'd sit and suss her location out using cat ninja skills, air currents and whisker dexterity and then just wander off like it was no big thing. On the rare occasion that she got startled she'd run into something, but that was groovy cos she developed this nifty nose sensitivity / awesome reflexes / neck recoiling skill so she never twonked her pretty features.

I loved that cat. She lived long and used to perch on my chest each night giving it the biggun purring like a tractor. Only time she got in a flap was if someone tried to help her or guide her due to her blindness. She didn't like that (patronising and distracting).

So in answer to your concerned question Neu, be sympathetic and sorry for your kitty but don't stress it, she'll be all over that shit within months. Cats are amazing.

sadly not mine:

blame dooks :)

^^amazing!

cross posting from the wanted section, but anyone got a cat carrier available to borrow for tomorrow? ideally in East London.

I have one in Stoke Newington, N16 you can use, depending on what time.

Perfect. I'm in N16 too. Will PM.

Please do not feed the parakeets (not really a pet but we pretty much had a flock of them today):

Moses likes green tea icing:

caffeine & sugar? he's going to be bouncy tonight

He's fast asleep. This was taken hours ago and I only allowed him a lick

Me on the other hand...

Oh my.
