Your daily cat and kitten news

Estée posing on her box. Her latest trick is to scratch at the balcony door until I open it, then walk away because she doesn't like the draught.

A Czech village cat, met while out hiking on Saturday. Very affectionate, with a beautiful soft coat. Wouldn't keep still for a photo.

ddraig How's Misty doing?

 

[seeformiles]

The boys have had a bit of a falling out so they’re both in here doing performative grooming and giving each other the stink eye between licks. Cat politics eh?

ddraig How's Misty doing?

Spoiler: upsetting news

Misty has gone, we are devastated, took her to the vet hospital yesterday as she was bad and getting worse, tried some glucogel on her and it worked a bit.
They were going to put her on a drip overnight and do tests and then transfer to our vets today, her weight had dropped again to under 3kg! We couldn't get to eat hardly anything
This was about 7pm last night, said we could ring at 10 to see how she was doing

Stopped to go to the shop on way home and when I got back to the car partner was in tears as vet had just rung saying she had got worse again, blood tests not good and there were other issues, maybe anaemia, maybe tumour and can't remember what else
So we had to go home and speak to them and decide to let her go rather than suffer
Happened so quickly and really really hurts

Kizzy has been a bit confused, was looking for her and sat by the flap waiting

 

[LeytonCatLady]

((( ddraig ))) I'm ever so sorry.

 

[oryx]

I am so very sorry to read that ddraig

 

[philosophical]

Oh man ddraig. Sad news, my best wishes, have loved following your journey with Kizzy and Misty.
You have cared for them wonderfully.

(((( ddraig ))))

 

[story]

Oh no

I‘m so sorry.

 

[Epona]

So sorry for your loss ddraig - I know it's not much consolation right now, but you gave her a great life while she was with you, and let her go when the time came.
Love to you and your partner.

 

[polly]

Oh no ddraig I'm so sorry, really so sad to read this news.

 

[Dystopiary]

I'm so sorry ddraig for you, your partner and Kizzy.
Misty was such a lovely cat. RIP sweet girl.

So sorry ddraig and your partner as well as Kizzy.
That's so very sad.

Spoiler: anecdote that can be ignored

[when one of our hamsters died a while back, he was the one that walked over Ben the most, so we showed him to Ben, so he knew why his little friend wasn't there anymore].

 

[Aladdin]

Oh no
Very sorry ddraig

 

[Nikkormat]

I am sorry to read that, terrible news, ddraig

 

[LeytonCatLady]

 

[trabuquera]

oh ddraig - really really sorry to read about Misty - who had such a devoted team of carers and staff to tend to her. She had it good. Extra cuddles and strokes to Kizzy in the aftermath (and to you and the mrs, too, of course.)

Lil’ Bob is getting back to his best:

 

[LeytonCatLady]

Lilith had her check up today, she's fine. She was very good when it came to the booster, even though she was nervous. When preparing to put her in the carrier, I gave her some Dreamies and picked her up while she was distracted. When we got home, the first thing she did was run upstairs and finish them off, as if to say "Now where was I before I was so rudely interrupted?"

 

[StoneRoad]

Our visiting cat has just been disturbed and "run off" up under some very wet bushes !
Not gone as far or as fast when compared to the initial contacts.
Cue shaking the dreamies bag !

It's been a little while. Here's my friend Arnold:



BTW he's not overweight - that's just a LOT of fluffiness!

I love the breaks in his fur, you can tell that if you pet him your hand will end up in all that up to the wrist
