Cats still catting. What's your DCat up to today? Pt 3

[caoraich]

I have taken the liberty of making a new thread! Maisie and Freya are relaxing in a patch of sun

Well yea...Ernie was wandering not wondering

He's now checking to see if it's safe to go out the front

My little one is enjoying the chase so I can go to kip for Afew hours off today. She sneezes more than I remember Daphne doing her eyes and everything are ok. When do I start combing her?

@EachandEveryone Biscuit was sneezy at first too. I think he was eating and drinking with his nose in the water/food.

Apparently hay fever/allergies can cause it too. I'm no expert at all, but Biscuit stopped after a few weeks.

Thanks! How old is he now

oldraver Freya growls! Mainly when she sees the Fluffy Interloper in the back garden. There's also a black and white cat and a number of foxes who she head-bumps so I have no idea why Fluffy Interloper gets growled at. She's definitely a she and a pet as she has a jingly collar and is v well groomed. Strange.

As an aside, does anyone else's cat befriend foxes!?

Oneago used to growl at the postie. (He hated the postie with a deep and deadly loathing.)

@EachandEveryone he's 9-10 weeks. Came to us at 5-6 weeks (mum cat struggling, kitten a little thin, formula fed by us).

I think your little one is older, but I'm thinking it might have been a settling thing rather than an age thing and could be confounded by his earlier weaning?

Cookie howls like a dog at passing cats. I went down one day thinking a dog was barking in at her, but it was her barking at another cat!

Has also made crying baby noises.

I like that weird cat!

Mine must be 12 weeks she was 11 at the rescue. Shes very different to the big one who was 7 weeks theres a massive difference in behaviour

Current cat hasn't growled as far as I know, but the tortie I had four cats ago was a very enthusiastic growler! I also had a growling rabbit as a child!

Oh yes I forgot about the cats he growls at...from the safety of indoors.

I think if he saw a fox he would shit himself. The couple I have seen round here are quite big (and magnificent) examples of foxes. OH says a cat will see a fox off but I'm not convinced. So Ernie comes in at night and especially when I hear any foxes..

I was told last week Ernie had seen off next doors cat. I did try to defend him, though didnt try too hard

Cozie it's really quite mild here. I think he just liked being wrapped up .

Mine are chilling this morning

I used to practice that sort of expression to authors who had displeased me

No doubt they deserved it.

Lovely day like this and the cat is asleep in a dark room.

Oh yes, Bibi growls. She has a whole range of communicative noises

Contemplating on how much her life has changed. I hope she will be ok

I think so. That's not an unhappy cat from the look of her.

Ollie is overgrooming again < eye roll >
Vet has shown me how to do the steroid jabs at home but I'm not confident so back to the vets for him soon to have another

What are you using as a distraction technique?

There's no hissing and she caught me when I thought she was whacking her and it's actual more like a soft pat it looks worse. They've had a play and are now both asleep in different rooms I don't know when I'll be confident to leave them together while I go out. Dolly likes the safety of her box but they look ok I think

Oldraver all of my cats growl. I was really taken aback at the first cat growl I heard.

Nothing works he's in a trance when he does it and he also does it a lot when I'm out or overnight so I can't stop him. You have to physically move his head and he cries and frantically tries to do it again so I'm sticking with the jabs for a while to try and break the cycle and let his skin heal
He's having a nap (bald leg is because vet shaved it and then he over groomed it)

My old fella wanted a paw hold this morning.

Something will work. You just haven't found it yet.
