Show us your kitty cats

I took our kitten to the vet last weekend for a follow up. I mentioned that our kitty had a flea but he's too light to have the spot on treatment, so he used a spray and suggested that flea collars are a waste of money because they move the flea from the neck, not eradicate the problem itself. The vet also gave us some Indorex, which would treat all the flooring, vet saying it was highly likely that fleas were present in the flat if the cat had them :eek:

My kitten has had advocate. He's nearly 14 weeks old, but had it for the first time when he was 10 weeks old. They said it's fine to use for his age, as long as he's older than 9 weeks.

flea treatments are normally done on weight not age though.

After the family/parents cat was out down last month me and my partner have reserved a cat for our own place!

Will be sure to put pics up when we get her. It does say she doesn't like a fuss but she was all over my gf and was being playful and jumped up on her knee. Makes a change from an antisocial 17 year old cat we're used to.

Back of the packet says

"Do not use on kittens under 9 weeks of age, or on cats under 1kg."

Bruce weighed 1.4kilograms aged 9 weeks.

What I was getting at was backing up that the vet said the kitten wasn't the correct weight

Never found cat flea collars to be any good. Drops kept the little blighters at bay on my cats.

Our kitten still weighs in under 1kg. Frontline is what was used on ours.

Realised that Saturday was in fact a day! I'm off all week so forgot I was off today so managed to pick our Poppy up.

Was fine on the drive home, explored the whole house and is playing away happy as anything.

Poppy seems to be showing no fear of people, which is a good thing.

Yeah she's been laying on the bed with my gf already and biting the hell out of the corner of her vet records.

She's only two but seems to have been brought in to SSPCA as stray and been back twice! Thought we'd give her a good home!

Already got litter tray, bowls, a radiator bed, scratching post and a normal bed for her lol.

Enjoy home made sausages! I recommend not mincing the cat though.

^haha^

My concern about that picture is what I think they suggest you use for sausage skins. My foreign might be a bit rusty but I'm sure that says **** forskins.

Sheep, pig, goat intestines isn't a huge amount more palatable, but it's what we actually use

I found three kittens under my shed, the mother came back for one but left me with two, ive never been a cat person but they are growing on me, my first thought was to find a home for them but I have a feeling they already have a home at mine.
so here is Oscar and amber
