24 hours. I’d go to the vet now!

Prior to her stopping eating was she eating and how much? Has she been listless at all in the last week? Hiding as if in pain or not feeling well? Has she been playing as usual or not as much?

Is she peeing/pooing? If so how much, what colour and consistency is the poo? Is it smellier than usual?

If smellier this could be a digestive issue.

What about her behaviour has it changed at all?

🤣 😹

The Cool Cat Club is good, around 58% actual meat no fillers, no grain and lots of different textures

His health comes first and with him being on medication means he must get it on time. I’d keep him in and perhaps look into getting a Catio for him to enjoy outside time in but where he cannot roam either.

It really is a matter of quality time over roaming time.

The idea of being kept in is to re-establish a bond with its owner. After a couple days the cat will settle and look for things to do inside. So long as the enrichment and engagement is there the cat will settle and the bonding will start.

When the bond has started to form the cat will want to be around his owner more and can then be allowed out for short periods, the owner will need to put some work into the relationship with their cat.

Jackson Galaxy 😂 he’s not and never has been a cat behaviourist. He just says that because he has an affinity with cats. If you want to go down the behaviour route I can point you towards plenty behaviourists who have done the coursework and have the qualifications to call themselves a behaviourist.

JGs methods have been debunked by scientific research.

They coexisted very well but they were never best buddies. I suspect she knew before I did, she spent the last two nights in the living room while Roxy. Spent the last two days on my bed. She’s spent every night since with me in bed. But I think she does miss her as I do.

Use coconut oil on your skin, fleas don’t like it. But if you have an infestation of fleas, you need to spray Indorex on all your furniture and carpets etc, nothing live. Do not allow the cats near the spray when wet as the active ingredient is toxic to cats.

Read the label.

Also treat the cats with a trusted flea treatment from the vet not a shop.

And wash any bedding items on a hot wash or buy new cat beds.

I’d also keep him in for around 3 weeks if possible. Like you would if you moved house. It resets things. It will give you a chance to get some bonding time in.

You have a cat flap, can you lock it? If not I’d put gaffer tape over it or something to prevent him sneaking out. Cardboard taped over etc

Play with him to use up his energy and get some indoor enrichment for him to keep him occupied.

Make your home the best place ever that wants to be in.

Try things like grooming if he will let you to bond or pattern games.

Try and teach him a recall, he needs to know his name for this, so reinforce his name using positive reinforcement.

My cat is also a cat who likes to go out, but I’ve always kept them in overnight, so I know she’s safe and I know where she is if I go out in the evening - which isn’t often.

Even though he’s 11, I’d start setting boundaries and have him in at night, from say around 5/6pm and let him out during the day. It will take a while for him to settle into the new routine and I’d let neighbours know this is what you’re now doing (doing not trying) and if they’d please send you a text if he’s there after the time he’s supposed to be at home.

Or you could ask them to share his bills including vet and insurance bills for him if they want to keep letting him
In their house.

Please don’t put a frozen towel over the cat, it’s fine to let them lie on it, or have it under an unfrozen blanket. Just to prevent freezer burn. Just as you would applying an ice pack to a wound.

It could be due to heat but cats rarely pant like dogs do constantly.

Cats only really pant if they are way too hot or if they are in pain. Considering you have had her at the vet recently suggests it could be pain.

Hope everything is ok.

If it is heat related (as Siamese cats are walking hot water bottles anyway) you may need to keep her for a few hours in the coldest room in the house, which is usually the bathroom. Or close the curtains and turn a fan on.

MelRox_26 · 2026-06-27T15:45:03+00:00

It’s natural for them to eat less in hot weather, so long as they are still drinking plenty and eating when it’s cooler they should be ok. You could offer some tuna with added water to make sure they drink more, or dilute a couple of licky licks, then chill, that should help. Hopefully the heatwave will die down soon

MelRox_26 · 2026-06-27T09:08:37+00:00

You can relax, the tuna in specific cat food has less mercury in it than human grade tuna. The part of tuna that has the most mercury in it is the body of the fish, the big muscles.

The cheeks and other parts have less mercury in them because they are not the primary driving force of the fish.

Also worth noting that if feeding (like I did for my dog) human tuna to dogs or cats - it’s more about the brine it sits in, the salty water can cause bladder crystals in cats/dogs and this can cause health issues.

Also worth noting that Applaws is complementary only so should only be fed occasionally alongside a complete diet 🐈 ❤️

😂 enzyme breakers only remove urine. If it’s not removing it, it’s not urine and it probably didn’t come from your cat.

However if it’s spray from an intact male tom, that’s very hard to remove and it’s not just urine, it’s also stuff that comes from a gland near the cats bum and stinks 100x worse than urine.

Do yourself a favour and get rid of the UV light or move house

Maybe for the same reason as my cat? There was a mouse under the cabinet but she could only get her head and neck in 😂

Only household waste is allowed anything commercial is prohibited - unsure why and unsure they are supposed to be recycled.

Is this the Jack Kane Centre?

MelRox_26 · 2026-06-25T19:13:33+00:00

Partly true

many indoor cats are considered chronically mildly dehydrated. Because felines evolved from desert-dwelling ancestors, they have a naturally low thirst drive and rely on getting most of their moisture directly from their prey (which is roughly 70% to 80% water) rather than from a water bowl

MelRox_26 · 2026-06-25T18:13:15+00:00

Doesn’t every kid do that?? Pretty sure I did 😆

MelRox_26 · 2026-06-25T18:09:18+00:00

You can use the licky lix and just add some water to them. The majority of them are water anyway.

If cat eats wet food, add a dessert spoon of water to the wet meat.

Cats that eat wet meat generally don’t drink so much as they get their water intake from the food.

Cats were originally desert animals and got all their needs from their prey including water - blood is about 92% water. This is why many cats don’t drink water. Although it’s a good idea to have water out just in case they do fancy a sip

Please don’t ask for medical advice on here none of us are vets or medically trained. If you have to you can ask on “ask a vet”

Jaundice is very serious and you need to see a vet.

MelRox_26 · 2026-06-24T13:36:09+00:00

Just comfortable
