They're amazing, love the eyebrows on the first one.

I was talking to my friend who we got our cats off last night and she was saying she had around 35 cats now split between her house, her mums house and one of her friends, most of them not wanted because "they weren't cute anymore" or "they don't behave like I think they should", it really broke my heart that there's so many that people can just get rid of without batting an eyelid.

She asked how our two were and I was telling her what a little t*rd our Gizmo is at times and if we'd have had him first we'd never of got another (jokingly). She said if I wanted I could swap him for another cat :eek: Erm thanks but no thanks he may be a t*rd but he's our t*rd, no one would ever love him as much as we do and I would never ever ever get rid of him (hubby and kids will go before the cats do :rotfl:). Even if he does wake me up at 3am trying to fight my ponytail every morning without fail. I don't have the heart to lock him in the kitchen when I go to bed even though I know he's going to wake me at 3am (locking him in the kitchen at 3am, however, is a different story) how could I ever just turf him out of his home and away from his family, that's just plain evil.

He's not just a pet to us he's a valued and very much loved member of our family and it will never cease to amaze me how people can just dispose of them like they have no worth at all. I do realise there are people who genuinely can't keep them anymore but usually they're the ones who try to find the best home for them.

The video you posted GR about ugly cat had me and DD in tears, I keep toying with the idea (more so now) of getting another rescue cat but the one thing that stops me is Salem and how he will react. Maybes in a couple of years time we will be able to have another new addition until then I will just be jealous and try to help where I can.

I sow the lady owner this morning on the bus stop. I'm sure she remember me. I look on her, she looks on me. She didn't ask me for nothing and I didn't.
She doesn't look like poor person. I'm pretty sure she just care about her self.

Definately sounds like a caring owner, NOT.

I'd be suprised if they have noticed she is gone and if they have they are obvioulsy not intereseted at all about what happened to her, for all they know she could have been hit by a car or killed by a dog/person. Caring owner my a**e :mad:

Cats slave - I agree that you have a point. We have lots of evidence against the owner and they have not had a chance to put their side of the story on the table. However, they should be given their side of the story to the RSPCA inspectors and I don’t think this will happen. This of course, would be the correct and official route but what would have happened to the cat in the meantime? It would have had to spend another month on the streets fending for herself. And RSPCA was not really interested. We know the cat was not fed; it had gone down to 2.7kg and evidently there is nothing wrong with her appetite. If the lady saw Ewa on the bus stop today, she missed yet another opportunity to demonstrate her caring for the cat by not asking her if she’d seen/fed the cat!

This is a really good price for a very handy comb where there are tough mats to deal with. Depending on how calm the cat is I would probably try to carefully snip the larger clumps away with a tiny pair of scissors.

re matts

Did I read that the cat is going back to the vets for a follow up appointment? maybe ask them to shave some more of the matts off, I understand why they didn't do them all the first time as I am sure it is not nice for poor kitty but on the next visit they will should be do some more.

I had a cat from a rescue center who was very badly matted, I found the best way was be be shaved by the vet then kept on top of it to stop them forming again.

Kitty has metacam for a week and depending on how the paw feels/looks - may need to go back to the vets for that.

Posiibly rather to her new mum's vets rather than when she was taken originally of course.

Will update if I hear anything.

Ewa is not far from the kitty so may help with a shave, she is a hairdresser so should manage

petlover77

Of course I can help but after Christmas I'm too busy at work now. I'll be very happy to see kitty again

I'm a hairdresser too,but not sure i would fancy shaving a cat!! Cut off the mats maybe,but a cat,well that wouild be a first!!

You can't tie them to a chair like you can a child who wriggles...........:rotfl:

petlover77

I shave one of my dog so I think it is not difficult to shave kitty
