Is your cat always on the hunt for birds?

I've just come back from a spot of hunting, browsed a few magazines and now I'm going to curl up for a nice nap.

Gemma is always moaning and telling me off when I bring her little gifts.

What can I say? I love the taste of little birdies in the morning.

She's always trying ways to stop me hunting - and half the time her efforts succeed - damn you Gemma!

She puts big bells on my collar, so the little birds can hear me when I come.

She's always feeding me, I do like to eat though, I think she's trying to encourage me to stay closer to home, I'd like to see her catch me!

I'm only really allowed to go out in the day, not too early and not too late - which is a shame because that's when I can usually find a little vulnerable birdie to feast on.

There's also lot spiny plants like holly and thorn bushes around the bottom of trees in the garden, I try my best to get up there though!

Anyway, my cat nap is calling me! Miaow for now! Charlie xx

There are all sorts of cats in all different colours and they are very friendly - don't get jealous Charlie.

Oh no! Charlie has worms! Advice and symptoms...

Charlie has been very poorly - he's doesn't stop eating but he doesn't seem to be putting on weight.

Then yesterday, he started throwing up - poor Charlie!

To my absolute horror - there were creatures wiggling in his vomit!

The poor sod has worms - no wonder he's so hungry!

I'm a bit upset that I didn't recognise the symptoms they can include vomiting, diarrhea, weight loss or a dry and dull coat.

Worms may be observed in the vomit or in the faeces.

Intestinal parasites of cats can infect humans and small children are particularly at risk.

If a cat has tapeworms, the signs will not usually show until it starts to expel little white, or off-white, bits that will be seen near the cat's anus.

The bits are about the size of a sesame seed and look similar as they dry up.

Charlie does a lot of hunting and tapeworms are picked up by cats from infected fleas which they may have gotten from wild kills of birds, mice and other animals.

Tapeworms are easily treated by an over-the-counter medication at a good vet supply store or like I did with Charlie take your pet straight to the vet.

Poor Charlie - you'll be better soon!
