Marble the cat eats the dogs biscuits. A friend likes dog biscuits, especially with some butter and grape jelly on them! 🙄 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marble the cat eats the dogs biscuits. As it happens our Daisybelle is also a rescue from Romania. She's not keen on the bath, but our other dog (an Irish rescue) always wants to join us in the shower. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Il Grifone Posted September 9, 2023 Share Posted September 9, 2023 (edited) The kittens have all left on the way to their furever homes. We miss them already, but couldn't keep them as we have so many already, plus some we are looking after for friends and our stray 'visitors' which we feed outside. They seem to prefer the outside life, but we will see when winter sets in. Edited September 9, 2023 by Il Grifone 4 2 1 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eastglosmog Posted September 13, 2023 Share Posted September 13, 2023 Tilly is glad the heatwave seems to be over. She has perked up and is back to eating her usual quantity of food a day and demanding it several hours before it is due, after getting me worried about her not eating much for a week. 1 2 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium J. S. Bach Posted September 13, 2023 RMweb Premium Share Posted September 13, 2023 Interesting, the "heat wave" here did not seem to affect Raindrop's eating habits in any noticeable way. When I first got her, I kept thinking that I had adopted a pig but she has tapered off to a consistent amount. There is now some kibble left each morning. She gets one half-full dish each morning and slowly nibbles her way through most of it during the course of the day/night. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Reorte Posted September 13, 2023 RMweb Premium Share Posted September 13, 2023 My cat's always been a fussy eater, and no matter what I try I end up throwing away quite a bit. She's always turned her nose up to bits of meat offered to her from my dinner too. So I was rather surprised to find her licking up the remains of some carrot and coriander soup from a bowl on the side that I hadn't rinsed out before eventually getting around to washing. 3 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eastglosmog Posted September 13, 2023 Share Posted September 13, 2023 Tilly's long fur coat is fine for a New England winter, but rather too thick for an old England heatwave, especially when the humidity is high! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JZ Posted September 15, 2023 Share Posted September 15, 2023 (edited) One of mine is on medication. I found it was easier to crush it a sprinkle on his food. However, he is fine with his spot on flea and worm treatment. The girl however.......I ended up in A&E for stiches in my hand once.

There are times when the only way to win is to cheat - crushing up and smearing on fur coat (bib area is best) can work - you get some dirty looks though. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium J. S. Bach Posted September 16, 2023 RMweb Premium Share Posted September 16, 2023 I never had any problems giving a former cat (Whitefur) a pill. I would pick her up, pet and stroke her for a bit, then gently squeeze the lower jaw hinge, the mouth opened and I would toss in the pill as far back as I could. She would instinctively swallow, I would pet and stroke her some more, then set her down. She never spit out the pill and seemed to enjoy the whole process, probably due to the cuddling.

When Phoebe needed daily pills, we used the above but added (on vet's advice) a puff down the nose to cause her to swallow. We never had any problems with her. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
