Re: lost cat
 

would have thought a daily clean up was more hygenic than having seven days of cat scat laying about. :confused: :confused:

Re: lost cat
 

OMG that is disgusting, I assume cats do at least one dump a day and several wee's

Thats 7 dumps and who knows how many wee's sat in your house for up to a week.

And you think that is clean? :confused:

Re: lost cat
 

There are practices which ensure that keeping a cat in your home does not compromise hygiene.
A lidded cat litter situated next to the toilet on a hard floor.
My cat has a special call to tell me when he has soiled, and I use a scoop to remove the soil out of the litter tray into the toilet.
The scoop is stored in a sterilising solution.(denture cleaning tablets have many uses)
The urine is absorbed into quality cat litter and changed weekly. Urine does not emit smells if you use quality litter.
Urine is less of a home health hazard than two days worth of food scraps rotting in a kitchen bin.
Unlike dogs, cats lick their bodies clean daily.
There is some hazard from hair shedding which regular use of a vaccuum cleaner solves.

These hygiene measures use time effort and expense, but are regarded as a small price to pay in return for the companionship and affection a cat provides.
There is the added bonus that your home will never be invaded by rodent vermin.

That's good news Paul :)

Re: lost cat
 

I am glad your cat has returned to you and hope he is well soon. I don't like to see any animal suffer.

Re: lost cat
 

A good news day:D
"sore paws" = looks like he has been trying to get out of some place where he was accidentaly trapped

Re: lost cat
 

It could be the cold depending what they look like - it is only used to being outside for an hour a day.

Re: lost cat
 

Brilliant news :)

Re: lost cat
 

Paul, Neil ain't all hat bad really, he is an animal lover really, its only that he keeps his pets in the Park and mucks them out himself on a regular basis, mind you there's a difference between cats and Peacocks an Pygmy Goats:D
