Your daily cat and kitten news

[Throbbing Angel]

When are you going to finish making that blanky for me?

 

[oryx]

I'll PM you tomorrow

I've got a very snotty, sneezy Casper on my lap at the moment

He's back into the vets tomorrow. He's following the same course as FiFi and Clive but the sneezing was improving but now seems to be worsening.

At least he's eating and drinking so that's one thing we're not having to get too concerned about

Sorry to hear this - hope all goes OK at the vets.

Someone's going to the vet in a bit

Good luck, both.

So back from the vet safe and sound

Continuation of a suspected virus theory which could have reduced all cats natural immune system allowing the naturally occurring nasal bacteria to start a secondary infection

He's a bit dehydrated at the moment so he had a subcutaneous rehydration injection and a further injection and he's just been started on a 7 day course of antibiotics. These can either be sprinkled on food or he can be pilled. Seeing how easy the vet made it look he'll be having these in food

Interestingly the vet also mentioned that her cat is going through something very similar

Hopefully the antibiotics do the trick. Sounds like there could be some sort of cat bug going round.

The kittens continue to grow apace and appear to need feeding on an hourly basis. They're brothers, Ringo in the front and Keith at the back.

Massive thanks to High Voltage for the very considerate, detailed and reassuring pm about cat diabetes, really really appreciated! Diolch yn fawr
Still daunting but feeling better after that message, and nogojones too!

 

[pogofish]

If it helps, obviously in your own time, it would be lovely to see photos of her in her youth

Couple more:

She could climb anything..!

That's exactly what Lilith's doing right now.

Lil’ Bob continues to recover from his dermatitis and is licking butter from Mrs SFM’s fingers. So good to see him rediscover his joie de vivre

 

[Epona]

Aww mate - such a distinctive looking girl, I've said before I always thought she had the look of a wildcat about her, it's the tabby markings along with the white chops, something a bit primeval about her.
Almost looks at odds with her comfy in a domestic setting but what cat can resist a duvet?
Horrible that their lives seem to go by so fast. Gorgeous girl.

Ugh. There is an intensely disgusting cheesy smell coming from Ken's rear end (not a euphemism, it's not his arse). Google suggests a problem with his anal gland. He doesn't seem bothered - no excess licking or any scooting - so I guess I have the enviable task of monitoring the smell over the coming days.

Possibly an abscess? Paddy had a bite abscess on his head a few years ago and we wouldn't have realised had it not been for the vile smell emanating from it.

Thanks - I've had a bit of a prod around the area and he doesn't seem to be in any pain. Just given his brother a sniff (what have I become) and he smells a bit similar. Have recently changed their food, wonder if it's that?! It's foul.

Could be the change of food. Check with the vet so they can get to the bottom of it (scuse the pun).

She looks a bit unsteady/confused :/

Really worried about her having a hypo, especially in evening as out of hours vets is in the valleys!!
