Cats still catting Part 4

[Ollivander84]

Shiny new thread

Maybe not broken then. He's still wandering round, purring when stroked etc. Just v quiet. Going to vets first thing.

My milkshake brings all the... hmmm

Boycat is pretending to be a big bad panther lounging in a tree. Of course if anything apart from me or his sister DID happen by, he'd run & hide in a panic

Albus today won't stop miaowing for food and he's had more than enough! Plus he shook his tail all juddery like they do when they spray. Waaah he's only like 4/5 months I hope he doesn't before he's neutered!

When does he get his op - because it sounds as if he's practising.

They should really have the op at 4 months, health and weight being otherwise fine.

19th sept! Maybe I should ring tomorrow and ask if they'll bring it forward. :( il put a reminder on my phone! Gah.

Might be a good idea.

Here is the ICC guidance on the topic.

Try 2.

Neutering your cat

Mine insists on six months tbh shes very skinny under all that fur i dont think shes ready at four months. Has anyone got any tips on keeping them appart after as daphne is forever cleaning her.

Many vets and owners have 'six months' imprinted on their minds, I fear. My own personal experience is that Oneago's litter brother sired a litter with a young female at his breeder's house, to her apparent consternation. He was 5 months old at the time.

Omg!! How old was the mother?

8 or 9 months if I recall.

I was shouting Ollie from across the gardens this morning whilst shaking treats. Black cat comes running. Not Ollie
Sat there looking very cute at me but still, not the cat I wanted

Abroad at the moment (and both of us missing his Highness more than DH would care to admit, although from the reports from that cat sitter about the killing field that our hallway has become, I'm not missing that part) so we are having to make do with ForeignCat and her brood.

Every time DH ventures onto our balcony, he gives me an update as to what they're all doing (but he's not interested, oh no).

I snapped this after the 5 littlies had suckled themselves to sleep

Poor Mom. They're not so littley!

Their almost full sized cats.

Your Dh sounds totally detached from them.

I'm guessing that they're after the liquid. Is it hot and dry there?

I know! I thought that they were looking at least 3, maybe 4 months! Housekeeping put food out for them (I don't think they're supposed to!) so they've built themselves a lovely little home here.

Mum does have a vague hint of "Help me!" in her eyes though.

I'd try prevailing on Housekeeping to put down a dish of water?

Yes, hot and dry, but housekeeping staff are keeping them fed and watered. They're hiding in some shrubbery which gets watered every 2-3 days so are all drinking plenty out of the resultant puddles too.

We're just a bit too far away for any kind of stroking or nuzzling but the 2 young girls in the apartment below have already become very attached!

Not broken (phew). Vet thinks probably a bite. Cat is now hiding in disgust at being taken to the vet

Olllie is doing zoomies whilst screeching about the weather, other cats and the state of Brexit or something, I'm watching TV
