The Cat Thread

I am going to steal all of that cats love...and cuteness.

Anyone got any idea what this is below my boy's eye? Can't work out whether it's just a bit of ingrained dirt/sleep or something more parasitey. We tried washing and gently brushing it out, but it didn't come easily and I didn't want to go too hard in case it is attached to him. Doesn't seem to be bothering him, but I wonder if I should go get it checked out or I'm just being paranoid.

James routinely gets crusty bits there, it's his eyes watering in response to something, I usually remove it by gently pulling it down away from his eye with my thumb. It doesn't require much pressure though - if this does then it maybe something else.

Cheers, yeah it's definitely pretty firmly stuck. Tbh looks more like a spot or wart, he's only one but I guess that's possible. Will probably get it checked out if it stays there.

My glove tan line is the opposite of Fleur's paw markings...

Just eye poo as Missis Rich G calls it. Only worry if the eye looks puffy and has discharge, conjuctivitus is comon in cats but easily treated with eye drops...good luck getting them in though.

Fluerrrr is looking very at home now. Such a cute looking cat. Nice tan lines also ;)

It's actually the little dot just below the eye poo. Didn't come out too well in the photo as it's so tiny. I wonder it's a little scab from a swipe as he's been meeting the neighborhood cats recently and although he's not at all fighty, he's not the most socially adept yet. gonna keep an eye on it and see if it goes by itself.

Ha she is soooooooooooooo cute!!!!!

She's getting there, still no lap cat but she's spending more time flomped around us now and is becoming quite vocal.
She also likes running around upside down along the underside of the sofa..

Mine have recently learned how to open the bedroom door and are proceeding to do it routinely every morning before a time I'm willing to get up. Tried the spray bottle but it doesn't seem to deter them. Any other tactics I can employ before just removing the door handle entirely?!

Accept your fate

Vaseline on the handle,

What could go wrong?

Thanks!

Turned out to be nothing. Just got him back from my Mum.

I think Mosley is thinking about killing me......again.

Sat in the greenhouse where jackson usually sits, he appeared in the doorway and stared at me with his ears back until I became uncomfortable and vacated:

I know what you mean...."this is my place c**t". Cats run tingz!

This lovely cat keeps on visiting us in out flat. Very vocal, but clearly domesticated, as it's very happy to curl up on the bed/on a lap and snooze.
We let it in from the rain earlier, but we don't want to steal someone's cat. My girlfriend is keen to feed it as it's a bit thin and keeps returning, crying at our door - how bad of an idea is this? I don't want it to "adopt us" as I don't want to steal it away from someone else.
What do I do?

Don't feed it, it may have special dietary requirements.
Ask out/put notice up etc.
