• Rest In Peace Simon Cat

    19/06/2013 - By 

    We had to put Simon down. I am heartbroken and devastated. The vet agreed with my choice and we talked at length about it. He was beginning to act feral. He had even begun targeting Hunter’s things and hissing and scratching at Hunter. Some days he would hiss and scratch at us and act as if he had never seen us before in his life. The vet said if it is medical it would be something that would need intensive treatment and it would be an extensive process to find out. But she suspects I would have a lengthy vet…

  • My Cat Has Behavioural Problems

    12/06/2013 - By 

    I have a cat because dogs take a lot of attention and care. You need to pet them and walk them and kennel them when you are out so they don’t get pissed off and pee on your couch or rip up a pillow. But my cat Simon is being like that.

He acted so grumpy around her we’d lock him out of her room at night, just in case. He doesn’t seem to like them touching him, doesn’t seem to trust them.…

  • Simon Cat: An update on my cat’s illness

    26/05/2013 - By 

    Cat Update. I’ll backtrack just in case. Simon wasn’t peeing in his litterbox. And he was peeing on the floor or in front of the front door on the mat. I thought at first Hunter was having accidents and not telling me he got pee in the carpet. Then I saw Simon and he looked uncomfortable while peeing. My sister was able to look after the kids while we took Simon to the vet. By this point he would yowl while peeing, like cat screams. He was lethargic and not himself. We took him, expecting the worst. He was diagnosed…
