Thhink that the cat is on it's final journey now (it's approx 16 yrs old), but clearly has an issue which I think is kidney related and is now moving like the old lady that I suppose she is. Not showing signs of being seriously distressed yet & will be in the vets shortly, but is a day that was going to come.

Will be saddened (even though I only took her to help out my son who was between houses for a few months - 8 1/2 yrs ago and she's never gone back.)

Won't be allowed to suffer and will go with dignity when the time comes.

Good mix of colours mate! We had a striped one like that, called Nuno. She was a right brute. Fox got her in the end - ‘a season too late’ according to the morons…

My wife, son and daughter picked one each. We’ve got a Marigold, a Speckledy and a Rhode Rock.

Our cat Kipper is now 20. She won’t eat very much and has some kidney problems. She loves cat milk though which is keeping her going.
She is very thin now but not in pain, and enjoying what we presume will be her last summer in the garden.
Still follows us around everywhere and is living her best life.

That's a good old age for a cat. Sadly a couple of years ago, our cat at the time developed kidney issues resulting in her being 'put to sleep'. She was 14 years old.

I've got 2 maltaese / poodle crosses. One is fine walking but the other simply won't budge as soon as the harness is put on him. I've tried swapping harnesses over but no joy.

Any ideas?

Put him/her in your back pack?

Sorry, just seen this. Can’t really offer any advice but I don’t think it’s that uncommon. Mine is similar-ish, she’s very, very sensitive and will only go in directions she’s absolutely sure about. Turn left at the bottom of the street instead of right for example and she’ll sit down and literally will not move. She’s 8 and I’ve been known to have to carry her like a baby and it’s embarrassing!

I think you can make a rod for your own back and end up being dictated by the dog, but if they’re stubborn it’s a hell of a challenge.

Anyway, she didn’t fancy this direction and carrying a muddy dog didn’t seem like much fun either…

Those are a couple of spectacular puppers

Our only issue with Betty is that she will not sleep past 5:30am. We have tried everything but it seems she just has a smallish bladder. She is desperate to go when she wakes up.
Good job we are both retired! Any ideas?
