I've got a Persian (only 1 yr old) with kidney problems, she has to have a special diet, which is a challenge with 3 of them in the house.
That does sound like it as a killer instinct in it which is sad Mine doest kill anything, she just watches the birds and doesnt bother them, although its natural for them too im really glad she doesnt She does play with spiders though (doesnt kill them, nudges them then stares at them) although I save them if I spot them before her
It is a challenge mate, is it that KD hills stuff? Quite expensive stuff as well She was on some of that (and tablets) before we had to have her put down
I must say though tobes alot of cats can live with kidney problems but ours was really bad. Like I say spent alot on her, she improved a bit then bk into the vets, improved a little for a few weeks, bk to the vets (where she satyed in for ops and fluids etc) and then basically she just collapsed. She was never the healthiest But like I say ive read alot about cats living with these probs
Yeah it's got a real killer instinct which is unusual - all the cats round about just like basking in the sun in our garden but this one is different, it even jumps onto the bird table and sits waiting!
Have you actually seen it kill them? As often our cats bring back animals alive & unharmed & plonk them in the conservatory! The big one regularly brings back rabbits & just sits there next to them. The rabbits / birds **** themselves & occasionally die of fright, but more often than not we get to them first, catch them & release them. We asked the vet about it & she said that apparently cats sometimes do it, as they want company!
I keep a check on Pets at home website for our dog food and stock up [from the actual shop not online] when there's offers on - which is very frequently.
Oh yes. Have never managed to get out there in time but as soon as I see the stalking position I rattle the door handle and it scarpers.
