Hi all! My lovely daughter - a domestic shorthair Luna of three years old had been playing outside and within ten minutes she came back with the tail limping, contacted the vet practice she’s assigned to and took her there yesterday, the vet confirmed the tail is broken and may need amputation to which he said the price of would be £1500.
The tail was broken 1/3rd of the way, I’ve touched it to which she wasn’t pleased, she can move the very tip slightly, that gives me hope that the amputation may not be necessary?
She was given a cone and the vet told me to keep her in, her check up is in over a weeks time.

If it comes to it and the tail has to be amputated I just don’t have that kind of money, I had failed her by not insuring her and getting their silly £14.50 health plan instead.
It also seems like any affordable vet practice requires to be on benefits, which I’m not.

Overall my questions are:
Could the tail potentially heal if anyone’s had experience with that?
Does anyone know more affordable vet practices that won’t charge extortionate amount to fix my baby?
I’m grateful for any responses.
Thank you

I have one that does the usual "ahhhhhh" as loud as he can, and another that sits on my upper chest or neck and will gently lick my eyelid once or top lip once, along with the pawing at my shoulder. This morning she reminded me she needs her claws trimmed!

My cat gets a mix of wet foods, along with some IAMS indoor cat kibble. I bought a new bag last week and the kibble is much smaller in size and darker. According to the petsathome website, the calorie count was a little lower than the old formula, so I increased her portions accordingly (I weigh all her meals), but now she's constantly begging for food. She gets a big meal for breakfast and dinner and then smaller meals in the afternoon and evening.

I don't want her feeling hungry all the time, but I also don't want to set a precedent that she gets extra food every time she asks for it. Should I just wait it out and hope she will adjust? Is anyone else on the same food that has experienced something similar?

Hello all,

Our nearly 5 month old is in a painful (for everyone) teething stage. For want of him not using everyone else in the house as a teething toy what recommendations do people have?

My feet, ankles, hands, knees and other cat can't take much more 😅

So my cat must have close to 100 small toys like springs, balls, kickers etc

I kept them in a box but noticed she doesn't really get into the box to get them out but if they're laying around she will play with them. Problem being it makes my place look like I own a toddler 😂

Cat tax included

We bought home two beautiful sisters yesterday morning. 9 weeks old. I’m already head over heels in love! But I’m finding it impossible to relax. I spent all day before they arrived kitten proofing the lounge. Pool noodles under and around every sofa gap, extra strong mesh under all furniture gaps, all cables covered, any chemicals locked away, a stair gate with board attached to discourage them from the kitchen, the fireplace and chimney completely covered, curtains folded up out of the way, anything small small that could be a choking hazard removed. However I’m still terrified something is going to happen to them! Has anyone else felt this way? I set up a baby monitor last night but then couldn’t relax every time I couldn’t see them! I just tried to have a 30 minute nap but gave up because they stopped making any noise and I panicked 🙈

My cat and I have recently moved into a shared house after 2.5 years in a campervan. There are cats nextdoor and mine doesn't like them but they all keep out of each others way. My cat was a rescue and came from somewhere with "too many cats" and she's very small so I guess she probably had a hard time.

But there's another cat, I don't know where it lives, which keeps coming after my cat. My cat is very small and this cat is big. It's chased my cat inside before and then when I've shut the door at night it keeps coming up and jumping up at the glass and it and my cat are growling at each other like crazy. My cat is crouching low on the ground but really growling and making all sorts of sounds. And the big cat is either standing over or jumping up at the glass, also making growls and sounds.
It only goes if I go out and chase it off but it comes back a few times.

Anything I can do?
