This article is about the failure of trying to get an obese full-time indoor cat outside for exercise. It was probably the first attempt. Things will improve with patience if that is what the caregiver wants. This is an instructive video on a couple or more areas of domestic cat caregiving. The cat is Roxie. She is a tortoiseshell-and-white. She was a nice svelte charmer when she was adopted but ended up a tubalub in quite a short time.  She became addicted to 'therapy eating' to alleviate her boredom. She also enjoyed watching feline television aka looking out the window at the birds and the bees.  But that was the totality of her mental stimulation. Not enough. So, her loving caregiver throught that he'd take her out to his gorgeous back garden. So impressive. So big with a gardener on a motorised, sit-on lawnmower. The Shawshank Principle governing indoor cats It was all but impossible to get her into a harness for the lead. He managed with only one scratch. But she wou...

The local residents thought she was cat burglar but they were badly mistaken. The local residents thought she was cat burglar but they were badly mistaken. Screenshot. The video tells the entire story clearly and concisely. No need to add words except to say that it is a good story of a mother's unfailing love and commitment in feeding her kittens and initially human ignorance followed by sensitive cat rescue and care. @xzhhamaonea The Mother’s love of a Cat! After watching it, I can’t help to cry. #CatsOfTikTok #CatLovers #CatsLife #love #FunFactsAboutCats #movie ♬ Love You So - The King Khan & BBQ Show This video has a shelf life. I hope you see it before it is gone.

This is a 'smile on your face' video. It's almost too good to be true but it looks genuine and if so great. The cats seem to have been well chosen as they settle in very quickly. But there is a more interesting story within the story. Please read on. Flat-face cat eating problems! There is one interesting little segment in the video which caught my eye. The flat-faced cat in the video which looks like a Persian had a problem when eating. And it's a problem which I hadn't really recognised before but this new cat owner immediately saw it. Because the Persian and Exotic Shorthair don't have a muzzle which protrudes out of their face in the usual way, they have to put their entire face into the food bowl which means the face as a whole is making contact with the food if the food is flat to the bowl which it normally is. The woman who is taking care of the cat remarks that she will have to clean his face. She's right, she will. Because it is covered in gravy! He...

I am sure that there are many instances of cat owners giving their house keys to their neighbour so that they can feed their cats when they are away, and it works out great but there is an element of chance involved as this story highlights. I guess you don't really know your neighbour. What you know about your neighbour has been garnered through the odd casual conversation. Nolan caught on webcam installed by Debbie Wearing-Jones. Image: Wearing-Jomes, The Sun/SWNS. In this instance, Debbie Wearing-Jones gave the keys to her home to her neighbour William Nolan, 59, and his wife. She wanted him to feed her to cats while she was away. Debbie appears to have no complaint about her cats being fed but, on her return, she discovered a voice recorder taped underneath a coffee table and another behind the headboard of her bed. She was also horrified and probably had an idea who did it, but she needed hard evidence because she reported the matter to the police who said that they need bette...

My neighbour is feeding random cats in my garden. What to do?  Image by Leng Kangrui from Pixabay . This is a problem discussed on the Reddit.com website, an excellent social media site which I'd recommend. It is a site with throws up some interesting cat problems. Correction: human problems about cats because as sure as eggs are eggs this is a human generated problem, and the cat is the innocent victim. They say the following: "For a while now I’ve been noticing this weird brown sludge in my driveway and couldn’t figure out what it was. Yesterday I came home and noticed a stray cat sat underneath my car with a pile of cat food, enough that someone must have placed it there. This morning the cat food was a wet soggy mess all over the garden, just like I’d previously seen. My boyfriend said he’s seen the cat chilling out underneath my car a lot recently too. I’ve started checking under my car every time I go to leave the house so I don’t run it over, but I just don’t like the i...

 This is a funny cat video from the TikTok website. The video is on a loop which gives the impression that this cat is endlessly playing with his stainless steel food bowl in a sign of sheer desperation. However, I'm sure that he plays with it for quite a short time. The rattling of it and the static nature of the cat all adds up to make the video slightly strange and amusing. But perhaps there is a serious side to this feline behaviour. I can't help but think that this chap is bored. Bored to tears with a dull life. Note: Videos such as this one inevitably stop working over time. If that has happened I'm sorry. @tiktokcats How many times did he move the food bowl? 😹😻 ♬ original sound - Cats 🐱😍 Or, perhaps, this is his way of asking for food. Maybe it's been trained into him that he requests food by rattling his food bowl a bit like Oliver Twist! Actually, I don't think Oliver Twist did rattle his food bowl but he did offer it up in a polite request. Bore...
