My previous Siamese was a real thief. He used to exit our bedroom window on to roof of bay window and thence into next door. Triumphant booty included half a leg of lamb and a slipper.

Ha brilliant. I have drawn the line at the squirrel, he had killed it but i threw him out of the kitchen with it , he doesnt bring his conquests home now but when he doesnt eat lunch i know he has eaten something and bits in his whiskers gives it away

Cant really add any further advice to this thread, other than what has been written but thought I'd show my cat off. Originally got her as a mouser, which she is scarily efficient at doing!!
If you become the main feeder (as I am), he or she will invariably follow you around the house and may even show you some affection from time to time. Anyway, this is Skye. She's a house cat and bullies my Jack Russell about.

we've just put a deposit down for a ragdoll kitten, collecting her at the start of december.
Anyone had any experience with them?

He's doing OK thanks for asking :)
All his battle wounds have healed up, we have started to let him out in the day time and he's doing well ( touch wood ). yesterday I even saw him socialising with 2 other cats in the area at the same time ( 1 male, 1 female) with zero aggression from any of them which I have taken as a good sign.
most of the time he's not even wanting to go out at night, most of the time he goes maybe 10 feet into the garden then back in a few mins later when its night.
His stomach has still been bad, we thought it was just all the change but the vet has told us to give him special hypoallergenic food for a few weeks to see if its a food allergy.
He's started to play more, when he 1st came in he wasn't interested at all but not chases after his cat toys and lazer pointer for a while before he gets bored.
He still has his aloof moods where he'll go hide in a corner for no reason but All in all, good signs

in all honesty we were not planning on it any time soon, had to go the bin and he got out one evening and didn't go far. since then we have tentivly let him out when it was dark, but early evening just to see how it went, he goes does his business then back in a few mins later.
Kinda glad its getting to winter as he's wanting to be in more than he was anyways.

Cats are territorial, but also have times they like to abscond. Try changing the times you let him out eventually will find a slot the offending cat is napping. Had similar problem just trial and error until they stop meeting each other

Has anyone else tried getting there cats used to Hypoallergenic food? is so an idea how long it takes to settle down? his had a bad stomach for a while but the HA food seems to be making it far worse. I guess its just the diet change and will settle but trying to get anyones experiences. 7 days in now.

Sky had to go onto sensitive food and had no problem , why are you trying that food ? Zantac might be better to try first maybe

Our older Cat has chicken that has been shredded up, we give her tidbits of other stuff just to keep her food more interesting but it is in very small amounts.
If she gets near the other cats food she throws it up within half an hour of ingesting it, since we have had her on the chicken only diet she has improved remarkedly and is a much happier cat.
The tidbits are mainly the 3 packs of cold beef pork and turkey from M&S, which we buy for £7.

vets suggestion. 2 weeks of HA food and if stomach still bad go back for tests. He’s stomach has been bad since we took him in ranging from just a bit loose to bloody to near pure liquid. and the occasional epic shit bomb shart that takes about an hour to tidy up. The other week he sprayed it about 5 feet across the utility room! Unintentionally obviously. He was in the litter tray but angled badly.
thankfully he seems to have learned how to go without stepping in it anymore so we don’t have crappy foot prints everywhere.
the vet gave us some paste to use but it’s done nothing.
he’s also scratching a lot and removing patches of fur which could also be a food allergy.

Poor thing is not having a good time with his complaints , sounds like trial and error , i know sensitive food can calm the guts but aside from that i have no other advice about it coming out the other end , he might have got used to eating animals when he was a stray and proper cat food is taking a while to get used to , one tip though dont buy the food from your vet, they have a huge mark up and you can probably get it from amazon much cheaper

yeah we were hoping after a month or 2 he would have settled down.
Thankfully our vet seems decent and even said not to buy from them. Not sure her bosses would appreciate that tho!.

we're hoping once he's settled down we can start to introduce chicken etc again. he loves boiled chicken. we were using it for his treats.

We're going to be setting ours up in phases. we buy decorations every city we visit so there are a lot of valuable decorations on our tree so if Buddy is too interested we're gonna have to work out how to stop him!.
