Hi Lizzak
Just wondering how your new kitten got on at the Vets?

Marg

Sirbendy - Thank you, I understand now!

Our first cat used our toilet with out this aid or any prompting from us - we were amazed but we had seen him using a planter outside before we discovered this talent.

The training process looks messy & could be interesting if you have guests!! but Hey.......

Thanks for asking!

I took him this morning, and the vet said he's too small to be 8 weeks old so they reckon he's 6 weeks. He was very dehydrated and riddled with fleas. He had to have a drip for a few hours and now me and OH are feeding him water and kitten milk through a syringe just so he's gt a bit more strength in him. And im going back there tomorrow to get him de-flead.

Was really upset when the vet told me. Really feel like reporting the breeder to the rspca.


Gismo's alright now - movinf about more but still sleeping lots. He actually went for some water of his own ack just which i'm really please about, but still not eating food.

Thats bl00dy awful selling kittens at 6 weeks:mad: :mad: :mad:
Pedigree kittens are sold at 13 weeks, why should any other kitten be short changed:(

I would report the breeder if I were you.

I bought a kitten 9 days ago:D

Exotic bluepoint - in English thats a short haired persian with Siamese type fur (colouring).

Hes a nutter:D :rotfl:

We called him Charlie, we should have called him Billy, because he can jump like a Billy goat:rolleyes:
He's so forward & full of himself, hes 100 miles an hour.

Hes 14 weeks now, hopefully yours will be like that soon:j

Awwwww!!! Bless him. He sounds ace. Gizmo loves sleeping on my OH's shoulder, he's doing it at the moment while my OH is lying on the setee!

I was Gizmo to be like yours, full of energy and being a little rascal! - Well he's gotta be soon coz he's got two staffies to compete with!!

He will be running around like a nutcase sooner rather than later;)

I red if kittens are naughty hiss at them, because thats cat telling off.

I've been using it with Charlie for going on the coffee table & dining table & biting AND it really seems to work.

I've kept it for those because I don't want to overuse it, I think it can water it down a bit if you overuse a punishment.

Ah wicked thanks for that. Need all the tips i can get!! Never had a cat before! Yeh i cant wait til he's bouncing around!
