A tub of Sudocream works wonders on nicks and scratches and also if you have any other colour of cat apart from white you can at least see where you are putting it - we have a dog tub and a cat tub oh and Robin now has his own for gardening scratches - previously he shared with the dogs! :shocked:

Frankie's idea of an emergency is to run out of cat bisuits so I'd have to include and emergency biscuit sachet  ;D

Is it new fucithalmic as it only has a shelf life of one month once opened.

Hibi scrub is useful for minor things, scratches and acne for example.

In ancient times cats were worshiped as gods; they have not forgotten this.

Sorry , yes have that too -Smartie has gunky eye every so often due to his herpes virus.
I don''t have kittens -just 8+ years cats ( 5 persians).
Will keep that in mind though
Was hoping for a recommendation of antiseptic cream mainly for scratches and superfical wounds.- Anyone?

I also have fucithalmic....alway end up with a kitten with gunky eyes more so when vets are closed.

A lifesaver for orphan kits is glucose syrup and a tiny bit rubbed into there gums has saved many a kitten for me :Luv:

Have a few other things in there but there are the two most resent ones that I have used

I do have a few basic things, -cotton wool, katalax, lectade, protexin- but i can guarantee when mine are ill -its always at night , after the vet has closed, weekend ( sat night as vets open sat morning !) bank holiday !
So, i thought i would try and add a few more things as on my new thread on health and behaviour - Winston came in last night with a sore /scratched ear -still not sure now if its from a prickly hedge or he could have had a scuffle with another cat !
I have bathed in cool boiled salt water , but wished i had some cream to put on for him.
Saw some multiderm on vetuk - but have emailed first to check its ok for cats .
Wondered what everyone else keeps in ?
