He was pretty laid back, and more keen on exploring the rooms of the house he hasn't seen yet. Although he did keep chirruping at her and trying to smell her face, she'd let him get within a couple of centimetres and then she'd (quite quietly) hiss at him.

They had about an hour of walking around together, with her following him and then hissing if he tried to get face to face.

She also ambushed him a couple of times, and spat a bit. But no one was hurt and he wasn't upset by any of it.

We're going to try again in a bit, as he got quite tired and needed a rest (he was badly abused before we got him and had 2 broken legs, so one of them is still a little weak where's he's never really used it - all of his bones are fixed, but his muscles need to get strong)

Does this seem like a pretty positive first encounter? ]]> Cat Chat Torsie http://www.petforums.co.uk/cat-chat/72705-does-sound-positive-first-meeting.html How to give a Worm Tablet to our Cat http://www.petforums.co.uk/cat-chat/72680-how-give-worm-tablet-our-cat.html Fri, 20 Nov 2009 17:25:29 GMT Hi all, Well our Vet tends to give the cat our worm tablet for us but this time we need to do it ourself.

Any way i was told he is 12 weeks and needs to go today as he had two kittens and a dog but gave one of the kittens to his mum as she kepted aattackin the dog and the dog kepted getin funny and the other kitten the one he bought to me was very unhappy with being on his own and dog had started to go for him, well at this point i got to see him and he was a lovely a blue ( i think thats what u call it lol) maine coon. He is 12 weeks old and was cute but quiet big lol. The man said he paid 400 pound for him but dont have any papers which am not to worried about as i wouldnt be breeding from him anyway. So here i am now with three kittens. I showed the new kitten to salem and he seems to really like him they were lickin faces but zelda was a bit funny a little hissin but nothing major but she is the boss of the house lol, so i have separted them for now as i went to work and will let them run around together later when i get home see how things go, I have never had a maine coon before is there anything i need to do ? i have allways had moggies lol. What are there temps like ? he seems really lovely. He was called billy but we have named him Mr jinxs. I also losted him for 2 hrs he went behind the washi machine so better block that off take care luv becks x ]]> Cat Chat bexsn2kids http://www.petforums.co.uk/cat-chat/72650-given-new-kitten-morning.html New cat post http://www.petforums.co.uk/cat-chat/72636-new-cat-post.html Fri, 20 Nov 2009 13:06:01 GMT New cat post today.

Choccie is back

Attachment 34329

I rehomed him (or so I thought) three weeks ago, it turns out the little girl is allergic to him, which is a great pity because he followed her around everywhere and they all adored him. There's no question but that it's a genuine reason. So I've just been to collect him. He jumped straight into my arms, but seemed less happy when he came home - and just now he has had a runny poo on the floor in the office.

O good ....

Still it's probably just stress, one of the girls started hissing at him as soon as I brought him in, he smells unfamiliar to them now of course, not helped by the fact that the people he went to were smokers so he smells of cigarettes.

It looks as if I am going to have to pen him which I didn't want to do.

O well, just one of the joys of breeding :rolleyes:

I dunno maybe because its getting darker (completly dark at 5pm) that they head to bed early. They seem to be more active in the morning unforuntly :001_huh:

Anyone notice this with their cats?

Jenson, the grey and white kitty is growing well, putting on weight and well, i was away this weekend just gone fri-mon and came back and seen that he's grown in that short space of time

Lewis, was the smaller of the two to begin with...and yeah, he's grown, but he's barely putting on weight...yet he eats like its going out of fashion!!! His brother happily waits for food, but lewis hunts around for it and if we have meat on our plate or any human food at alll, he does all he can to nick it off and then we'll feed him enough to fill a large dog, he still asks for more yet he doesnt seem to be putting on any weight, just growing

They are both around 4 1/2 months old now

We have wormed them since they came back to us, so maybe its worms and the tablets havent just taken affect yet, unless he is just gonna be a lanky cat haha ]]> Cat Chat Staysee http://www.petforums.co.uk/cat-chat/72572-lewis-not-really-growing.html Who has the oldest cat? http://www.petforums.co.uk/cat-chat/72557-who-has-oldest-cat.html Thu, 19 Nov 2009 20:57:09 GMT What it says!:D Who has a golden oldie, and how old are they?

We adopted him yesterday and (much to my displeasure) we are currently feeding him on he food he was getting at the Cat's Protection foster home he was at.

This is Iams (urgh!) Kitten biscuits and Whiskas (URGH!!) Kitten sachets.

He grazes on the Iams but goes mental for his Whiskas, which is really causing me trouble as our current cat lives on Orijen with half a can to a can of Applaws wet food a day as a treat and for some extra moisture.

Orijen says it's fine for kittens over 7 weeks on the bag, and I have bought him some applaws kitten. As Bella is thriving these two foods and we regret not always feeding them to her.

Are there any other kitten foods worth trying? Or do you think Orijen + Applaws will be fine for him? ]]> Cat Chat Torsie http://www.petforums.co.uk/cat-chat/72493-best-kitten-diet.html how oftehn to de flea a indoor cat http://www.petforums.co.uk/cat-chat/72487-how-oftehn-de-flea-indoor-cat.html Thu, 19 Nov 2009 15:36:02 GMT hey all i have a 5 yr old cat that goes out side and two kitten that are 17 weeks and 16 weeks, i de flea merlin my 5 yr old cat every 4 weeks and i... hey all i have a 5 yr old cat that goes out side and two kitten that are 17 weeks and 16 weeks, i de flea merlin my 5 yr old cat every 4 weeks and i have been doing the kitten every 4 weeks evern tho they are indoor cats cause of merlin going out , is this right ? i was going to ask the vet if i needed to do it so often cause of the kittens being indoors but i forgot and i thought i would rather be safe then sorry lol adviice please luv becks x ]]> Cat Chat bexsn2kids http://www.petforums.co.uk/cat-chat/72487-how-oftehn-de-flea-indoor-cat.html Got our new kitten yesterday. http://www.petforums.co.uk/cat-chat/72486-got-our-new-kitten-yesterday.html Thu, 19 Nov 2009 15:32:27 GMT Hi everyone, I hope you can give me some encouragement with my current situation. We adopted a new 5 months old kitten (Boo) yesterday. He is the... Hi everyone, I hope you can give me some encouragement with my current situation.

We adopted a new 5 months old kitten (Boo) yesterday. He is the friendliest, happiest little chap and withint 2 seconds of his box being open he was wandering around our spare bedroom (his safe room) purring away and playing. He has no fear of anything or anyone and is just wonderful. He is already desperate to explore the rest of our home.

Now, we already have a cat, Bella who is a 4 year old girl. She is very friendy and gets on well with neighbours cats (this is what made us decide to adopt a new one). She is naturally very curious as to who is in the spare room, and has been peeping under the door and hissing occasionally when the new boy comes rght up to the gap.

She seems a little bit solemn, but we have made sure toalways pay attention to her, and she played happily yesterday and slept with us last night.

We are planning on taking things very slowly with them both (as much as Boo would love to run around and make friends straight away, Bella's hissing doesn't affect him in the slightest!) as Bella is such a sweetheart and we don't want to change her character.

I was just a little taken a back with the hissing and spitting, and would like to hear if any of you have introdcued new cats. There is so much conflicting advice online!

Are we best to wait until all under door hissing as subsided before letting them see each other through a slighlty open door crack? Or do you think her seeing his face and size could help to calm her, as he is a lot smaller than her. ]]> Cat Chat Torsie http://www.petforums.co.uk/cat-chat/72486-got-our-new-kitten-yesterday.html Lovely video http://www.petforums.co.uk/cat-chat/72482-lovely-video.html Thu, 19 Nov 2009 15:13:55 GMT I had to post this, it's so cute :D
