Re: Reassurance Needed


My Rosie loves going out at night but I have a catflap so I don't have to wait up for her. When the weather is milder she sits outside for hours in the dark waiting for some poor unsuspecting mouse or shrew to come along

Re: Reassurance Needed


Aww, Sweet what a scary evening you had. Glad Violet came home all safe and sound on her own - the little minx!

Re: Reassurance Needed


They are little monsters. Glad it all worked out well.
I remember an evening/night on the phone with my daughter who was sobbing and quite convinced that her boy was gone for ever Like Violet, he sauntered in, in his own time, looking for his supper.

It's good to have a treat with a noise attached (what?????.............well, before you give her a piece of ham, clink a fork on a plate, or use a special whistle/call, jange keys, anything, as long as you only use that noise for her favourite ham) and always give her ham after the noise.

Theory is, if she's in earshot - she'll come running!

Anyway, so glad all's well. Sorry I wasn't here to cyber-hold your hand last night, but pleased you had plenty of support.

So pleased Violet was a good girl and eventually decided to come home last night.
I hope you told her we were all concerned about her Sweet!!

Re: Reassurance Needed


Thank You once again all for your words last night and the ones left for me today............

Violet early today looks like she had a fur ball - but not sure what one looks like???? can anyone describe them???? sorry if this is too yucky at tea time!

Maybe thats why she wanted to go out last night? maybe she felt unwell ?

Just caught her doing a little poopsie in the garden and its loose not hard - sorry way to much info!

I must sound dumb but Violet is my only Kitten/Cat I have ever had so I really am a brand new Mum x

Re: Reassurance Needed


Yucky, hairy, wet ball of hair (bits optional). I'd say you were right. Some cats will eat grass just before, so probably right there as well.
Loose-hard, consistency varies. If she's a bit off colour talk to your vet tomorrow if she still is or if she still has liquid squits (dehydration's the worry there). (Straight to the vet if she's obviously struggling, of course.) Sounds as if she's had a slight tummy-tizzy, cats do at times. Just as we humans do. Can be food, nerves (excitement at being out in the *dark*?) - same as people. Is she eating/drinking as usual?
Is she up-to-date on her worming?

Re: Reassurance Needed


If she's otherwise bright and bouncy, I wouldn't worry about it. Difficult to do, I know.

Re: Reassurance Needed


Violet may have eaten something while she was out on her adventure last night Sweet......sounds like she is just getting rid of it from both ends!!
