RIP Twitch. I was able to arrange Mayday in her favourite sleeping position. Rigor's not a pleasant thing to witness but alas is part of the passing process. Hope you take a bit of comfort from our posts. Vivian

RIP little Beryl. And Ladymissk take care. You know people are here for you at this time. Vivian

Hi what type of litterbare you using. Crystals may hurt her Paws? Others with more kitten experience will post advice. Could it be anxiety driven? My Harper when she was a kitten went in my walkinrobe for a tad! Buy some special spray to remove any smell - not bleach products - I used Urine off but ...

Good to see your boy's home & sending you +Ve vibes. Lots of ear rubs & fusses to the little un. Vivian & the famous 4 from Oz.

Hi there that's ESP for you- was only thinking yesterday how your fur babe was settling & low & behold read your post & pics of Minnie this morning. She looks adorable. My 4 are only allowed out with me watching guard. Three are well behaved but Harper's so dam quick ... grabbed her from...

Hi I'm thinking of you too as well as praying all works out. Fusses to your boy. At Little Paws cattery there's a boy, Peppe, who suffers constipation & has been hospitalised. Deb has anemia meds to put up him, he's not to have dry food, and I think she adds Metamucil to his food. Peppe is 4 &am...

Hi Bethy sorry to read about Aya's vomiting. Re FIP pretty sure the vet would have picked this up. A couple of mths ago I had to take my 8mth old Bentley to the Cat Clinic - high temp, rapid breathing, unwell they thought subject to bloods possibly FIP it wasn't TG! Another symptom is extended stoma...

Thanks for the update. At the age where they start playing ... so cute. Fusses to rpthem all incl momma cat. Vivian

Hi Falcon really praying it's your boy! Have you thought of contacting your insurance co with a letter from the vet asking to reinstate your policy & paying any arrears in instalments. They may be able to take up the fight with the cattery which will take some of the stress away from you while y...

Hi Vic pls accept my severe condolences on Daisy & im so sorry I haven't posted earlier. As Bobby's a girl posted I miss my Mayday everyday - still have tears, still have dreams she's with me - and like you while she was at home, I found her in the early hours & went thru guilt of letting he...

Hi Antonio it looks like you & Pallina are being very well looked after. Sending +Ve vibes for her & breathing settled. Vivian

That's fabulous!! Fusses to Blackie. Vivian

Hi Antonio hope things go well ... fusses to Pallina. She looks happy. Will monitor your posts. The famous four from Oz also send fusses & purrs to Pallina & Mousey. Vivian

Hi re your comments below re cartrophen injections, don't know if I've previously posted but the vet where I volunteer uses a 'laser' treatment. Depending on how severe the arthritis dictates how many weekly sessions. Clients are giving +Ve comments. Depending on our ages :lol: I recall as a child a...

Hi Antonio thanks for thinking of me - our 5 cent would be the one to use And Lilith thanks for info on Metamucil. Vivian

Hi Booktigger it's so difficult at these times. Can u be guided by your vet - do you absolutely trust them. Fusses to dear Lucy - such a brave little puss. Keep us posted. Vivian

That's great news. Keep us posted on your family fur babe. No doubt your daughter's over the moon. And when you can love to see a pic it two. From Vivian & the famous 4 from Oz - Lilith again has thought of an appropriate label for mine

Greenkitty sorry to read about Tig - it's a hard decision but to watch them suffer is worse. RIP Tig & enjoy the bridge. Vivian

Hi thinking of you & Akulina. Keep us updated. You'll receive heaps of support here. Vivian

Hi Lilith glad to read that Mouse's 'catstipation' issue's sorted. Poor girl. Hoping her stomach settles too. And as for your friend sleeping through 'Maria' in the Dominican Republic..is that where they make rum? :lol: On the weather note it's Spring here & we're having temps in the 30s over th...

Hi Antonio she's a cutie & love her tail markings. Fusses to Pallina. Vivian

Hi Ceedge & Mrs Skater for update. Poor little Catnip (cute name). Has Dany been speyed? She'll be back in season before you know it! And how's the interaction with the dogs going? Hope you're able to post more pics of the little family. Vivian

Hi Issie uuummm Hugh Jackman - know what you mean - & such a down to earth fellow. Alas even if I do manage to tackle him, Debra Furness may have other ideas. :lol: Meant to ask - have you finished travelling around? Nice to read that Gandhi's having some time outside especially as your days sta...

Hi Vic so sorry to read about your lovely Daisy & agree with Antonio, Ruth & Booktigger. Hope your managing her meds. Such a worry & one feels so helpless. Keep us posted & lots of fusses to your girl. Two posts I've read this morning which have tugged at my heart. Vivian

Hi everyone has said what I'd post. My heart goes out to you & your family. When you're feeling stronger & it's feels right, I hope you consider giving another fur babe a loving & caring home. Time is what you need. RIP little Delilah. You were truely loved. Vivian

Hi Willow some can have a reaction to vacs but usually with 24 hrs. Hope they didn't give C5! Kitten doesnt have flu? If they can't smell they won't eat. Can the vet give you an appetite stimulant? Keep,us posted and lots of fusses to the little un from me & my four misfits. Vivian

Are there any quarantine restrictions on your return from Brazil? Fostering sounds good providing your fur babe will be secure. Vivian

Hi just watch for any swelling. And like Booktigger, Mrs Skater & Lilith no pain killers when I've had my 3 females (Crystal, Mayday & Harper) done. Sometimes vets will give a soft collar to stop stitches being interfered with. Keep us posted on recovery. Vivian

Hi Lilith to me the weight gained by Mousey is pretty +Ve. Poor Elsa went from 8kg to 5kg & then dropped to 3kgs on meds. She put on 300kgs after radio iodine treatment & that was due to being fed kitten food. I prayed she'd get to 4kgs but it never happened - poor girl. What's Mousey's cost...

Hi my friend lovely to read your post & learn that you've moved. As you know my fur babes are inside but allowed out when I'm outside watching. Harper's usually the one who brings outside stimuli (chasing leaves, lizards, butterflies & not to mention birds flying overhead) to an end. She cha...
