The Cat Thread

There are hundreds of kittens and cats in rescue centres throughout the country that need homes!

@Dammit - Tell your neighbours to fuck right off and leave your cat alone. There's loads of cats need re-homing out there. They can adopt one of those.

This so much.

Why did he not do anything about stopping him from coming in?

She's beautiful but she's totally evil.

Sounds like a lot of the girls I went to school with.

Unrelated to tiny squeaky kitten I assume?

How long are you away for? Is the boyfriend missing you at least?

So who watched cat wars program last night?

What did you think of the caravan dwellers with the cat issues? Did anyone else think that the ones feeding the strays were making the problems worse by not dealing with the fact that cats weren't very healthy.

The Buster and Oli situation was interesting how Oli owners claimed that he has a prescription diet as normal cat food makes him ill, yet wasn't ill so it could not be Oli causing the problems with buster and if Oli was eating the foos he would be ill. When shown the video proof of Oli eating the food, his owners did mention he was ill those days. But he must have been ill those other days that Oli had eaten the food and the owners didn't know?

The bird watchers did seem to be very nice to the cats by getting them a food source.

Would it be a sensible idea to have a stray animal cull?

Is the boyfriend missing you at least?

This is a cat thread not a boyfriend thread ;)

Wow - someone takes her sunbathing seriously!

This is a cat thread not a boyfriend thread ;)

For some of us it's a worryingly fine line.

Sadly, MM, there are an awful lot more than that :-(

No, it'd be sensible if people bothered to get their pets neutered.

Watched it, think oli's owners were just in denial or were lying. Funny how clueless the dad sounded when the video was being shown to them. They knew what was happening.

That poor buster was getting bullied out of his own home. Looked so helpless.

Think all the caravan dwellers were not helping the situation. Those feeding or the others. Should just stop feeding them, they would soon move on.

Cats are cats, they hunt and kill. Get over it.

Unrelated - the squeaky kitten is a lovely little thing, whereas the ragdoll is a nightmare.

I got my revenge though: the catflap was accidentally set to one-way only, so when Fig went outside as a respite from her overnight reign of terror indoors, she couldn't get back in. It rained quite heavily last night...

Love the paw on the fish...

The vet with the dead bunny and the squirrel made me laugh, now as long as they kill pigeons and mice and rats and squirrels I like them.

Yeah oli owners were annoying, especially as they did nothing. Could have kept Oli in, but poor buster he is the one who is suffering. Got the feeling that busters owners were very like buster, timid.

The caravan owners, to me, made the problems worse by having ill cats. Hence the dealing with cat sick and diarrhoea.

Gomez has gone in to have his tooth removed today. Poor guy.

Get well soon Gomez. Xxxxxxx

I've just heard from the vet that he's had the tooth out and has woken up from the anaesthetic and recovering well. :D

Man feeds scores of abandoned cats in war-torn Syria

Does your cat meow at you for no apparent reason? I've got a bengal cross and while he talks (chirps, growls, meows etc) a lot, he's started just meowing quite a bit at us. He's got food (though if he's eaten the middle bit, obviously the bowl is empty), he's got water, he's got access to the outside and god knows my girlfriend gives him all the attention in the world, but still. He'll come in, sit down in front of us and just meow. He's a bit of a wimp, so I think he may have been getting bullied a little bit by the other neighbourhood cats, as there's quite a lot. He doesn't come home with scratches or cuts, so I don't necessarily think he fights a lot though..

Mine does it sometimes... Do you sometimes want to talk to yourself? I do and so I apply the same theory to my cat.

Growing growing growing.

(can't seem to attach cute cat pictures)

I have a very vocal Bengal Cross too. He just wanders around the house wailing at things. Bengals are naturally very vocal apparently.

It's awesome at 6am.

There is a reason you cat is chatting, it is trying to tell you johny is caught in a well and your cat pushed him. :)

I take it that the cat wants attention or fuss or a chat. Meow back.

Cats sense ghosts.
