Yeah if you can supervise the better, i know someone with five cats and they are happy to stay in, depends on the cat i suppose, sometimes it is for their own good, like you mentioned letting an uneutered male cat out is madness, he will fight for the ladies and roam further, get him done and keep him in till the urges have gone and that will really helpFair enough , my cats have each other to play with and seem very happy together and loved. They purr all the time and ask us for love.
Ive heard way too many stories from friends and people I know of how they let their cats outside and they never returned. I cant take that risk.My cats stay in the sun too without running alone outside
nope not neutered. Got him booked in for next week but will probably have to wait now.
no other pets.
we have noticed no likes sitting in front a fan. Assume it’s due to the breeze
GPS tracker collar is what you need. You can then get an idea of its range and movement and see if it something other than another cat that's fucking it over.What ever it was it’s done a number on him.
The nose cut is all the way through, probably a mm or 2 deep.
there are other scratches on his head but nothing major.
Unneutered males are basically 3am pissed out their head men, outside a kebab shop trying to fight or fuck the first thing that makes eye contact with them. Injuries more than likely coming from other male cats whose territory yours is rocking up in uninvited.
once you've had his bollocks off he'll not wonder anywhere near as far so is a lot less likely to run into other males.

Another trip to vet for our wee girl tonight. Follow up appointment to assess her spine and back legs. She runs about like a mad thing, jumps up on window sill, sofa and my work table so fingers crossed all good. Had her 5 months this week and about our 7th visit to vet.
Poor thing, I've christened ours Fang only got one tooth on left side of mouth nowOur cat has returned after amputation of his right front leg. We call him "Hopalong Cattidy" now. Surgeon reported his bones had turned to dust. We now await oncology report hoping the cancer has not spread.
His pain killer has given him diarrhoea and he has been making very loud noises like a dog barking. Vet says don't worry. Get a pet and reduce your stress, they say, but they don't know, do they?!
Got ok cheers mate. Continue on one tablet and one liquid dose a day. Doesn't have to go back for 4 months. Think longest between visits since we got her as been couple weeks so real improvement. Next check will be to make sure prolonged meds not affecting her kidneys etc. We use the pellets but never had any issues. She used to piss in bath when we got her but think that was down to being anxious and insecurity. I put little water in bottom, heard the splash and commotion, she hasn't done it sincehow did it go? Hope she is ok.
buddy has started with what I can only describe as epic liquid shit bombs. He’s on different antibiotics this time so probably those. Bought clumping litter to help as non clumping just got sprayed over the room covered in poop. He used it a bit but has taken a disliking to it so shat on the floor instead over night. On the pre installed, glued down door mat. Thankfully most of the room we put him in over night is Lino.
Just give it a chance and you will grow to love it. I never had cats growing up, my partner got me a kitten 8 years ago and I would literally kill any **** who tried to harm her.The lunatic wife has somehow persuaded me to buy a Bengal cat. It arrives tommorow.
I really don’t have a clue what to do with it.
can any cat lovers give me any advice as to how to make it feel at home?
Agreed.Just give it a chance and you will grow to love it. I never had cats growing up, my partner got me a kitten 8 years ago and I would literally kill any ****
I've been there. We lost one of ours, hit by a car, broke my fucking heart. I didnt want another one in case it happened again. Last October my mrs went back to Lothian Cat Rescue, anf brought home Ava, an absolute darling, wee nutter, asshole and expert cat sheepdog, as she guides me into the kitchen to get her food. Shes fucking world class at it. I piss myself at her. But, get her food. I couldn't imagine life without her. I would recommend giving another cat a great, loved life. There are so many who need people like you.after losing our cat and being distraught about it, the wife and I have been visited loads by a young kitten, even comes in our house for a stroke.
it’s really cheered us up.
we’ve tried not to feed it as you’re not supposed to, just had a play with the young thing.
Lovely response mate.Ive been there. We lost one of ours, hit by a car, broke my fucking heart. I didnt want another one in xase it hapoened again.

I will always go to the rescues. Well, I never actually go, or I would need a fucking lorry to take them all home. Giving one sitting in a small cage a life, is the best way for me. Let me know if you ever get another one. I hope you do mate.Lovely response mate.
Broken heart is exactly how I’d describe it.
I still don’t feel like I can replace her but it’ll cheer me and the wife up to eventually get another. I think I’ll do the same as you and get one really in need, give it the best life possible.
