Cat Chat Feline Forum

Thanks for the reassurance everyone - it means a lot - i'm not one to keep pestering the vet but I genuinely feel somethings not right with her - I don't want to get a reputation as a fusspot with the vet but better safe than sorry as she's so precious to us just can't take any risks. It is wonderf...

Kitty is not well. Spent all last night on the settee but when we got up this morning she's licked and bitten a raw patch where the leg of the onesie is - opposite side to op. You are doing the right thing by taking her back. It may be just the onesie that is irritating her but best get the wounds ...

That's typical - the toughest cat in the bunch is often the coward of the county when it comes down to it. In the 70s one of my moggies had a litter (smacks own wrist) and I had a very fierce black cat, Sulah, who was cornered by a four week old kitten ... We are surprised at Hendrix - perhaps it i...

LOL! not sure I would have gone quite that far!

Great news all the same

There are times - not many - when the smell of cat poo puts a smile on your face!

So pleased she is recovering and by the sounds of things getting back to normal.

Keep us posted

Do you think she could be constipated? Some painkillers can cause that, and even mild constipation on top of a sore stomach can't be much fun - not that there can be much in her bowel after the op. Agree - quite possible so a call to the vet to get some lactilose may be in order - don't wait longer...

That is good news. Like humans using the loo after an op can be difficult so that is the one to keep an eye on in particular. If she has not been after 3 days then seek advice from your vet. It sounds like she is in discomfort as she has eaten and came out of her box AFTER she had some meds this mor...

5 days in and we have settled in to a routine of sorts! Jasper and Morgana Violet are certainly over their ordeal and are very much settled. Both kittens are now purring and seeking fusses and Morgana Violet, in particular, has shown more affection than the first couple of days. Of course, playing, ...

I would agree with Ruth The chances are that Kitty has never been to a vet before which can be a very daunting experience especially as she will no doubt be feeling some pain as a result. Medication wearing off and the wound healing will probably be making her feel uncomfortable. Try and keep her ro...

That is good news - looks quite fetching in the baby grow!

Hendrix is scare of absolutely nothing - nothing at all

Oh, except 2 tiny kittens ! go figure

Not sure about cheese curles but worth having a good look at which human foods are NOT to be given to cats - same with plants in the garden.

some foods and plants are a definite NO NO and I have removed some plants as a result.

While I may have become a firm advocate of early spaying and neutering I do not believe that vaccinating, defleaing or worming at the same time is the right thing. A lot of my cats have been under the weather for a day or two after their boosters so I wouldn't really want to put them through anythi...

GillZB21 wrote: ↑Tue May 14, 2019 12:32 pm there's not a day goes by that she doesn't make me smile and I think how did I manage without her?!

That is exactly why we all love cats here!

Thanks Dave - She's back to the vet on Wednesday evening -for a check up - really hope the babygro can come off then! I know it's to protect her stitches but try telling her that!! She seems to think if she walks backwards enough she'll walk out of it!! How old does a female need to be before she c...

Mia is scared of the vacuum cleaner and Hendrix is afraid of hair dryers! - there is always something ;) My first 2 have a lot of problems but the second 2 have had a good start in life despite their mum having a difficult one. Like humans, they all have their own characters, like, dislikes and fear...

She is a gorgeous cat and will be feeling much better in 2-3 days time. Hope the vet will be checking on her within the week? Plenty of love and re-assurance coupled with good food and she will be a different cat in a few months time. don't rush it, Rome wasn't built in a day Take care of her Regard...

I used to have 2 Persians and an old English sheep dog - all came to me urgently needing new homes :( Really sorry to hear about the lost kitten but is also sounds that your cat need a lot of love and care going forward. Just be patient and follow advise - she will get there and repay with lots of p...

Hi I am one of those people - and you will find many here - who do't believe that you "own" a cat - they "own" you! The first lady of my household, Mia was born to a feral mum and was rescued at 12 weeks old, neutered and cleaned up and placed with a couple together with all her ...

Now that Morgana Violet and Jasper are nine weeks old today - I have published a new video on YouTube https://youtu.be/lTdjlzairlo We have now the 2 kittens in a bedroom so that they can run riot as and when they want but they go in the pen at night - and are as good as gold. Saturday was obviously ...

So good to see someone taking on a stray cat and loving them - and of course, doing the right thing by them too. Boiled chicken breast if fine as a treat and of course NO cows milk as many cats cannot tolerate it. try and stick to good quality wet complete cat food and always ensure clean fresh wate...

No big surprises today and the 2 kittens are, understandably feeling, a little sorry for themselves. A visit to the vets for first vaccinations, an hour in a car, being separated from their mum and now 2 strange cats and 3 strange humans to contend with. New noises, smells etc! Mia has been quite re...

NICE!!

Nothing this end yet!

They may well form a defensive alliance against the kittens! Sounds as if you have a busy summer ahead - I look forward to following their progress. To a certain extent, our first objective has been achieved - Mia and Hendrix are lying together in the bedroom :o probably consoling each other ;)

Ouch! Bitten by a kitten! :lol: They look fine healthy little beasties :D She can be quite savage at times! These kittens are very cute and who cn resist a playful kitten? And while that is very true getting these two was primarily driven by wanting a playmate for Hendrix for Hendrix to fill that v...

Ha ha! :lol: Been there done that! Not so much the purple haze as the violent Violet! :D It is quite a fitting name for her and I will see if I can get permission to put the video on Youtube later. She will certainly met her match with Hendrix but we are going to have to watch them carefully. It is...

Wow, an extra 2 kittens - the only thing you may find is that adopting a pair of siblings mean they might not play with Hendrix as much as a single kitten would, but there is something wonderful about a bonded pair of cats. Am so glad Mia is continuing to improve. It seems that Violence gets bored ...

Congratulations, your life is going to be 'interesting' for a few weeks I think. Cats always pick up when something is going on. I don't think it is just the obvious things like the kitten pen, but our own emotions come out and no matter how much we are looking forward to introducing a new cat ther...

In 24 hours time we will be pick up Jasper AND his sister Violet to start their new life with us, Mia and Hendrix Yes, there have been changes in our plans! Mia has continued to delight us with increasing confidence and interaction with us. She can now be groomed and even got on my knee and padded f...
