    I've never got the handbag thing but do like shoes. For me a bag costing over £10 is too much and whilst I'd never buy designer shoes I do like a beautiful pair of heels.

    *pap hasnt read anything so please excuse me however....*

    Anyone who knows cats please can you take a look at this thread :o I am so very worried, and even in my animal training I have never come across this.

    Thanks :A

    Pap, it might be that a person hurt him by throwing something at him. It may have created an abcess which will put him under the weather.

    You may have to take the bull (aka cat) by the horns and forcefull get hold of him initally, then try to pet and reassure him on your lap/in your arms so he knows it not you that hurt him and so he can regain his confidence.

    You could tempt him to eat with some chicken or fish.

    I'd say to take him to the vets as well just to get a antibiotic jab for the cut.
    Cats don't have owners - they have staff!! :D:p

    Thanks Scardy, nothing will tempt him out though, chicken/pork/cat nip nothing he wont budge :o I think we will have to get an appointment at the vet tommorow and I will have to catch him. Because this is far from normal and I hate seeing him like this.

    And now all I want to do is have some choc :mad:

    Pap, as long as he has access to water or milk he should be ok for a few more days of not eating. The only other thing - and i'm not wanting to alarm you - is that he might be more hurt and under the bed is his safe place to recouperate.

    I think if you are that worried, call the vets and ask for an appointment tonight, they will usually fit you in somewhere.

    Thanks Scardy, I would take him tonight but I have no transport. I am probably being ott but I hate to see any animal suffer. I will wait and see what Mum says later but hopefully we can take him tommrow :D
