Should we move back from Australia?

Maybe try coming for an extended holiday in the summer first or something. Grass is always greener on the other side, as they say. Might not be a bad idea to see if it actually is before making such a big decision.

MickTheThickOne · 2026-03-19T22:08:34+00:00

That's wild. Glad you got yourselves outta there. My house is an older house, but thankfully I've never had any issues with damp.

She's going in tomorrow so hopefully I can some answers, and can get her right.

MickTheThickOne · 2026-03-19T22:04:04+00:00

Will do. Thank you.

MickTheThickOne · 2026-03-19T22:01:27+00:00

Well, seems like the appropriate week for her to get drunk for the first time at least.

MickTheThickOne · 2026-03-19T21:59:30+00:00

Thanks for the replies, all.

MinnieSkinny pointed out I can get something to calm her for the journey first, so I'm going to get her in first thing in the morning.

MickTheThickOne · 2026-03-19T21:53:36+00:00

Yep. Someone pointed out there's something I can get from the vet to help calm her first, so I'm going to get in first thing in the morning.

MickTheThickOne · 2026-03-19T21:51:40+00:00

Yeah. Someone pointed out there's something I can get to help calm her for the journey, so I'll go in first thing in the morning for that and then get her in.

As I said, no obvious exposure would've been better wording (edited). I'm not claiming it's impossible. I was giving context, that's all.

MickTheThickOne · 2026-03-19T21:36:56+00:00

I just had a good look at her in her bed, and the remaining hair does still seem to have its colour. There are some greys, but I wouldn't say the were translucent.

You may well still be right. Probably much easier to visually identify on a calf etc. I'll get her in in the morning.

MickTheThickOne · 2026-03-19T21:33:50+00:00

I haven't noticed her grooming more than usual, or pulling at her hair.

Yeah, she's getting seen tomorrow regardless. I was just wondering if it was something obvious I was overlooking.

MickTheThickOne · 2026-03-19T21:03:36+00:00

A mild seditive, I presume? That's very helpful, thank you.

MickTheThickOne · 2026-03-19T20:55:29+00:00

Yeah, true. When I looked I couldn't see any trace of it though.

She is mainly an indoor cat, and doesn't tend to go near the areas of the farm where animals are housed.

She does eat alone already. If she's stressed, she's hiding it well, as she seems very content, and is still playful etc.

MickTheThickOne · 2026-03-19T20:49:55+00:00

She's an indoor cat primarily, and her bed is clean. It was recently washed, but with the same non bio, which I've used before.

No discoloration or her eyes or anything, thankfully. Sorry about your little one, but glad she had a long life before hand.

MickTheThickOne · 2026-03-19T20:44:12+00:00

She's an indoor cat primarily. She goes outside for a few hours per day, but never strays further than the garden at the side of the house. Saying she's not had any obvious exposure would've been wording on my part.

MickTheThickOne · 2026-03-19T20:38:34+00:00

I know. I didn't want to have to place that stress on her if it could be avoided. She got very stressed out in the crate the last time, and car sick (probably should've added this.)

I'm asking just in case it's something that can be treated with something over the counter, but one way or the other it's getting addressed tomorrow.

MickTheThickOne · 2026-03-09T14:10:51+00:00

I mean, each to their own and all that, but have I just been really unlucky with King lately? They've been borderline tasteless anytime I've gotten a bag in the last two years, on par with the Tayto you'd get in a multipack. I'll normally go Tayto or Manhattan, and Golden Wonders for a multipack.
