Your daily cat and kitten news

[Epona]

I'm glad he seems a bit better Epona, hopefully it's just the shitty weather making him a bit down. Lilith has also seemed a bit listless today, although she's eaten OK. I wonder if cats get seasonal affective disorder, same as people.

Nah he was properly unwell with the nausea and vomming, he's an indoor cat so the weather isn't changing his routine iykwim.
I hope he will be a lot better tomorrow.

Poor baby, I hope he feels better after a good night's sleep.

 

[Epona]

Well he's pestering the bejeezus out of me right now so it seems he's feeling a lot better.
Was seriously worried about him for most of the day mind, and he is still gagging occasionally, but his energy levels are more normal - hope he stays ok.

Vic engaging in what looks like some form of cat yoga (Downward Cat?)

 

[Epona]

Don't want to speak too soon, but it seems Jakey is more or less back to normal today - must have eaten something that disagreed with him (had a bad mouse as another poster sometimes puts it!)
So haven't bothered the vet, he's scoffed food late last night, during the night, and today and kept it down OK, energy levels back up a bit too.
Keeping a close eye on him obviously, but cautiously optimistic.

Callie - I hope Neela had a good night

So just spoken to the vet about Neela. Confirmed pancreatitis but with chronic kidney failure (she's nearly 18 btw). They wanted to check her urine for ketones and glucose because if her high glucose blood test but she peed on the blanket they gave her instead of in the litter tray. (Cats!)

She has had fluids and they have been trying to keep her warm as she is cold. There doesn't seem to be much they can do re the pancreatitis other than monitor and support and give pain killers.

They have suggested referral to a specialist.

I don't know what to do.

I'm very sad she is alone/I can't be with her. Been trying to stay busy/distracted. OH is in transit on his way back from NZ so I can't speak to him about it all.

This sucks.

Very sorry that Neela is sick.. referral to a specialist might help though...at least it would mean she had every chance and you will know your options.

It's tough on her and you. I hope she will be let home to you very soon.
Big hug for you..(((Callie)))

Everything I did at the studio failed, but hey cat helper so






Sadly I think his owners are moving away soon so this might be the last time I get followed around by plaintive meowing as I juggle to much clay

 

[High Voltage]

Currently buried under cats

 

[High Voltage]

It started with Casper who usually sits on my lap and then Clive'll sit just above him on my chest

But today Casper decided to sit on my chest and then Clive worked his way onto my upper chest throat area

 

[High Voltage]

That's over 20 lbs of cats sat on my chest

I love a cheeky cat.

 

[pesh]

He loves both of those shoes equally.

 

[pesh]

Slippers. Whatever.

 

[Epona]

He loves both of those shoes equally.

Our Radar, may he rest in peace, used to like to stick his entire head in our shoes/boots.
The smellier/sweatier the better - his favourites were trainers, walking boots, and work boots.

I think is the first time I've ever bought something for a cat, and they've instantly loved it:

 

[BassJunkie]

Our daughter plonked Ringo next to Keith, and lo and behold, they've remembered they're siblings who love each other. Well, at least for 5 minutes.

Thanks.

It's Keith on the left and Ringo on the right

Currently Keith is the pretty boy and Ringo is the big boy.

[sojourner]

He's taken to putting himself in the carrier while we eat our tea now. Big change from when he first came, when I was having to fight him off!
