Re: Need a bit of help/advice with a stray cat i have taken in


well i took her to the vets to get vaccinated as i didn't know whether she had any or not, and better to be safe than sorry.
however after a quick health-check it turns out she is actually a he so the first vet i saw must have got it wrong
anyway im so glad he found me though, as hes just adorable and so affectionate, and i don't know why i haven't had a cat before now.
sooooo now i need to find a nice sweet boy name for him.[IMG]

It must have been fate that you didn't name him, at least you don't need to change the name now lol.

Re: Need a bit of help/advice with a stray cat i have taken in


Thanx for the nice words guys, i think i might stuck to Charlie

one more question i have, how long does it take for a cat to get used to a collar? Just he hates it and scratches and scratches and gets really irritated untill i take it back off then hes fine!

forgive me if im wrong but i think all pets should have a collar and tag.

Stacey, lots of people do use collars and i guess it takes time for a cat to get used to it.
Personaly we didn't use collars with ours, i was always frightened they would get stuck in a tree or something.
Ask any questions you feel like, that's what catsey is for as well as socialising,lol

Re: Need a bit of help/advice with a stray cat i have taken in


Ok thanx, I'll just gradually try and see if he gets used to it, if not then i wont force him if he doesn't like it.

on the question front i do have another query, seems how hes a tom is there anyway i could tell if he has been castrated or not? U didn't think to ask vet at time as my mind was elsewhere about him been a boy not a girl lol.

i know its really obvious in dogs but i don't know about cats.
