But be sure you take them to the vet to get checked out!!

I didn't know cat flu shots were a thing... and to respond to the other question my cat loves having her belly rubbed. (:


Yeah, there is a type of vaccination for the cat flu that im pretty sure all cats get when they are younger...

Thanks for responding everyone! c:
All my cats are officially sick. Last night, Sassy threw up and they all refused to eat, no matter what we tempted them with. So they all got fluids, medication for nausea, and appetite stimulants (all this was give to us by my aunt, who's a vet.)
They seem a bit better this morning, and the strain going through my cats seems to be less serious than the one that went through my aunt's cats. They're all eating a little food (except for Sassy, who still doesn't seem like she wants to eat at all) and Bramble even seems to be getting his appetite back, and none of them have a fever. There has been no more throwing up, and hopefully they'll be better soon, though we're continuing to give them medication (thankfully, Jigsaw, Bramble, and Amarni are good for their meds. Sassy and Butterscotch, however, are not xD //after only medicating them for one night I already have scratches across one arm. Although, luckily, after growing up in a vet clinic, I have been scratched by many a cat so it doesn't bother me x3)
Cats do get flu-shots, but I don't think this is an ordinary strain of cat flu, as, like you said, woospuss, they do not have runny eyes/noses. They're not going to be checked by a vet unless they get really sick, as my mom was my aunt's vet assistant and I can help her check and medicate the cats. We and my aunt are also quite certain it is the same bug that went through my aunt's cats ^^

Anyway, does anyone let their cats outside for an hour or two in warm weather? Before they got sick, my cats were going crazy not being able to go outside. They had kitty cabin fever xD

Hopefully they'll all recover fine :D

Jack goes outside on a harness when its nice. She'd go out in any weather but she tends to bolt at nothing and we don't want her getting lost in snow or when its really cold or anything. We need to get her a properly fitted one, really.

In this cold weather, the cats prefer being inside, though it's not as cold as it gets up North.

Aleaha loves the cold weather, as her long coat gives her an advantage, but because of the shorthairs(majority of cats in the neighborhood) going inside most of the time, she gets bored and sticks around. Occasionally, she'll follow Thomas outside, but he's doing his business, so it's short lived. I only let her out during the day, no matter how much she whines to go out at night. She knows the night cloaks her.

and Mr. Pettybone? Man! That is one fancy cat.

I have a brown cat !
Please don't ban me and Fayster because we are cousins and since we are in the same household it comes up with tha warning sign, but we are different people so don't ban us! Sometimes we give each other pets we don't want.

:c We nearly bought Jack a motorised ball in a bag toy thing today. She loves stuff that's under stuff so she would have really enjoyed it.
Decided not to and now we're online trying to find something similar ;o; There's nothing at all.

what about something like this? there's a few different versions on Amazon
"Only ignorance! Only ignorance! How can you talk about only ignorance? Don't you know that it is the worst thing in the world, next to wickedness? - and which does the most mischief, heaven only knows. If people can say 'Oh! I did not know, I did not mean any harm,' they think it is all right."

Yup yup we saw that one but they're going for like £25, the one we saw was £7 :B And for something she's going to destroy anyway we'd rather get the cheaper one. Or just put one of those floppy weasel things in a pillowcase.
