Meh, she can't be too much heavier than our Rocky, surely; he's on seven kilos now!

Everything is crossed here, even the piggies, bunnie and hammie have their little toes crossed for you.

Aw, Dino was doing his royal cat thing in that first picture. Does it very well, too. I love the pic of Heidi on the move. They are all looking so great.

Do your cats roam far when they're outside? We have an 8 ft fence now, but the old one was 6 ft, and Buster was always scaling it. He would usually just hang out on our driveway or the neighbor's, but I didn't like him getting out. Crystal was too timid to do it and Ellis too fat, lol!

My cats come and go as they please during the day but stay inside at night time. I used to live right on the edge of town and at one point I had a wall and fence which was about 10 ft high on our side but only a couple of feet high on our neighbours side - they went over that every day.
Bronte, Lexie and Heidi stick fairly close to home. Bronte more so now as she is starting to get older. Dino and Huxley are big ramblers. They hunt a lot in the farm opposite us and in the fields all around us. We live out in the country on a very quiet road that isn't a main road to anywhere so great for the cats to ramble. All of them do go over to the farm opposite.
Lexie has been suffering another bout of cystitis. I'm wondering if one cat litter is a trigger and I used a different one last week and I think I also used it the first time she got the cystitis. Thankfully a few days of just wet food with no kibble and a few forced syringe full of watered down cranberry juice and no red pee on the floor this morning (she doesn't like using the litter tray when she gets it, which I understand is because they associate the litter tray with pain when they get cystitis).

I would look into the litter - I found the the dust from the clumping stuff triggered issues in the past. Suchi is having another round of a UTI - litter box frequency and straining to go. I made them a fleece lined chloroplast box to hold the litter box. Suchi likes to stay close to the litter box when she is having issues so she is happy cuddled up on the fleece in the coro, but i think she is also having accidents.

I'm sure Dino and Huxley have many great adventures with all that farm land to explore.
Sorry about Lexie, but at least it sounds like she's on the mend. None of my cats have had problems with cystitis, so I don't know much about it. I would imagine that cat litter could cause problems, though. Some cats are so sensitive to certain kinds of litter.

I am fairly certain it was that cat litter that I used last time that has been the problem. I bought it by mistake and it was strange stuff - a red colour and very gritty. I have gone back to the plain old white litter that I've used for years with no problems and will be checking which bag I lift more carefully in future.

One of our cats is quite active and will go for a wander, the other is something of a puss couch potato!!

Getting a good kitty litter is getting hard over here if we don't want one full of chemicals. I use the cheep one from Walmart for the pigs hay box, and it is low dust, no chemical odor fighters, just a good, clumping kitty litter. I remember when she had the last bout of cystitis, and you thought it was the litter than, too. Glad that's all it is, and it can be easily corrected.
There are cats roaming around our condo complex, but after a lifetime of having cats/dogs and living in rural areas where it was safe for the cats to roam and the dogs to have really long runs, I just can't see haivng either, here. Cats do so enjoy a great hunt, they need places to do it safely. Glad they have a great farm. Ooh, that must be full of all sorts of great things!!!

What a gorgeous picture. We have one little one who is very young and into everything and has started to go a bit further a field now the weather is better. Tilly, our old matriarch is a voluptuous lady to put it politely and is usually asleep on my bed,
