Awww, Cassie is a beautiful girl. My tabby torti regularly has her tail in that shape, and quivering! She's very exciteable.

think the messybeast link most interesting and you will notice that jarbos tail goes straight aswell !

CurlyCatz · « **Reply #143 on:** April 25, 2007, 18:28:16 PM »

Kez I just got an email back from that lady i spoke of and she thinks its most interesting.

I have now passed on a pic of her sleeping with the tail straight and one of mummy cat

she is very active, and only noticed it about a week ago, it wasnt like it at brith, im just checking through photos, can i put a video on here?

CurlyCatz · « **Reply #141 on:** April 25, 2007, 16:47:35 PM »

that looks 100% normal there

so is she an affectionate excitable little thing then ? and has she always done this or is it something very new ? (bearing in mind i know shes only 7 or 8 wks old LOL)

Sleeping

Playing

CurlyCatz · « **Reply #139 on:** April 25, 2007, 16:33:55 PM »

i thought of physical abnormality first too lottie but kez says she can straighen her tail, i presume that to be properly straight ?

glad you think its odd aswell though LOL

Team Svartalfheims · « **Reply #138 on:** April 25, 2007, 16:17:50 PM »

First thing that springs to my mind when I see that is that the first few bones in the tail could be fused. Is her tail capable of hanging down onto the floor?

CurlyCatz · « **Reply #137 on:** April 25, 2007, 16:14:57 PM »

And no i dont think its something to worry about, perhaps it is just going to be "her" but see what the others say on this here and perhaps she may be a candidate for slightly earlier than normal spaying.

CurlyCatz · « **Reply #136 on:** April 25, 2007, 16:13:41 PM »

Mmm so you are saying that normally her tail is in the same position as the others and looks exactly the same except when she gets excited she does this ?

The only "normal" time i can think of a female cat doing this on a regular basis is when she is in season.

I know some cats can become sexually mature very very young but i would have thought she really is too immature for that just now ?

kezmayuk · « **Reply #135 on:** April 25, 2007, 16:02:09 PM »

its wired as she does it when she's excited, like when i go to stroke her or when shes playing, well most of the time, but yes she can keep it straight, is it something to really worry about?

CurlyCatz · « **Reply #134 on:** April 25, 2007, 15:25:42 PM »

Mmm im not actually sure that looks quite normal . you say she can move it but can she make it go "normal" like the others tails ???

I'm sure even if there is an abnormality its obviously not doing her any harm but may be worth taking her along to the vet for their opinion.

All so i dont know if you can see but in this pic

cassie's tail is ficked over, its like this most of the time but it can move it, is this normal?
just going to try and get a better pic

CurlyCatz · « **Reply #130 on:** April 25, 2007, 13:58:18 PM »

im not sure but its too cute a pic not to put in im sure. best to pm gill sneakyfeline i think and get it from the horses mouth itself.

kezmayuk · « **Reply #129 on:** April 25, 2007, 13:48:59 PM »

would the kittens in the box go under
48. Chocolate box cat or
30. Kitten up to 1 yr on 1 Jul 07
but then theres 3 kittens?

Team Svartalfheims · « **Reply #128 on:** April 25, 2007, 13:43:45 PM »

Yep that's right Lynn as Tigger has got to go in Non Ped section and both of her parents are peds just unfortunately different ones lol.

CurlyCatz · « **Reply #127 on:** April 25, 2007, 13:40:53 PM »

No you wont be able to because a pedigree x is still basically a moggie and not a full pedigree. (as far as i am aware but gill will keep you right)

kezmayuk · « **Reply #126 on:** April 25, 2007, 13:22:13 PM »

with lancer his a cross pedigree, can i entre him in the pedigree section?
gone from my mind what he is lol british short hair silver tabby i think (is that right)?

CurlyCatz · « **Reply #125 on:** April 25, 2007, 11:24:28 AM »

it hasnt started yet but look for the threads on the cat show, its a fundraising event so we pay to enter our little pride and joys into the comp and the money raised goes to good cause.

there is a rediculous amount of catagorys lol (makes it more expensive for us hee hee) so you'd have to select which class to enter your prespective bundles..Reckon lancer defo needs to go in aswell.

kezmayuk · « **Reply #124 on:** April 25, 2007, 10:41:40 AM »

lynn : how do i do that

Aww I love the mammy, she is beautiful

forever_missing_my_boys(Lisa) · « **Reply #116 on:** April 24, 2007, 12:10:02 PM »

i got 5 out of my 7 as little kittens
Bailey and Bridie was 9 weeks when i took em home
Flossy and pickles was 8 weeks
and i was told makosi was 6 weeks old but when i took her to my vet for a health check and to get her flea n worm treatments etc my vet said she was more like just 5 weeks old and i was proberly lied to just so the woman selling the kittens could get rid and get some money ,
makosi was so small when i got her she fitted in my hand and even her little face hadnt grown very much her eyes looked way too big for her face bless her

MBll · « **Reply #115 on:** April 23, 2007, 22:11:48 PM »

8 weeks is the mimumin age for kittens/pups. NOT LESS THEN 8 WEEKS. Altho when gettin weaned they will still feed occasionally from mum, also mum does more then just feed them shelll be teaching them ,

I think theres to many problems when they get taken away from mum under the 8 week age & running the risk of losing them

Team Svartalfheims · « **Reply #114 on:** April 23, 2007, 22:07:56 PM »

Absolute minimum of 8-9 weeks but it's far better to keep them until they are 12-13 weeks old.

kezmayuk · « **Reply #113 on:** April 23, 2007, 22:03:02 PM »

is there an actual time scale for when kittens can leave there mum, i mean written information anywhere, my three cats iv got from roughly 6 weeks to 8 weeks.
When can they go!!!!!!

forever_missing_my_boys(Lisa) · « **Reply #112 on:** April 23, 2007, 10:24:22 AM »

oh no id defo not let her have the kitten yet its too early
and i agree with what michelle said if ur neighbour gets funny over it then pehaps shes not the right person to have the kitten in the first place
id keep them with there mummy till they were 12 weeks

they r so cute i want one lol

theres no way id be abale to part with any of them though id have to keep them all

Desley (booktigger) · « **Reply #111 on:** April 22, 2007, 18:21:48 PM »

Agree with the others, they are only 7 weeks old, so too young really. Good luck in convincing your neighbour - and dont let her wear you down to agreeing!!

the kittens will be 8 weeks on the 30th of april, there all eating food now but most days still eat from mum, my neighbour has ask if she can have her one tomorrow, i said it was ok but now im abit worried? would she be ok to go or should i keep her with mum till 8 weeks?

Theres no way i would let your neighbour have the kitten yet. If they arnt 8wks till the 30th they are bearly 7wks old.
Speak to your neighbour and explane they arnt old enough to leave Mum yet, if she gets funny then she isnt the right person to have one as she isnt doing what is best for the kitten

Personally i wouldnt let them go until they are 12wks !!

Millys Mum · « **Reply #109 on:** April 22, 2007, 15:47:19 PM »

Preferably 12 weeks, they learn important social skills from being with mum that bit longer!

Kittens need to be with their mum until that are at least 8 weeks old.
