Your daily cat and kitten news

[seeformiles]

Lil’ Bob has just come in from the garden and has been chuntering away to us - it’s so varied and expressive and we’d love to know what he’s saying. A commentary on what’s been going on? We love it but wish we could translate

Second dose of antibiotics this morning. I wonder how long it will take before his head stops looking lopsided and his ear perks back up.

Sorry I’ve just seen I’m 23 pages behind and I’m going to jump in with a question ( ), though I did want to say polly that one of your cats looks very Trillian like!

My son called me upstairs in an excited stage whisper just now and pointed at this scene on his (revolting) bedroom floor

Anyway, can jumping on your lap and purring any opportunity they get be a sign of feeling unwell and wanting comfort, or is it just a sign of growing older? Trillian has a little nodule which is probably nothing but could be a sign of a hyperactive thyroid. It’s hard to tell if she’s more hungry as she’s always been a greedy guts. She might have lost weight but I’m trying to hold out another month before a re-weighing at the vets to give a clearer picture. One of my childhood cats had an overactive thyroid and I mainly remember the constant meowing.

Happy 2nd Birthday to Theo! He wasn't very impressed with his candles.

dunno really

it may depend on the cat. traditional wisdom is that cats are more likely to hide if they are feeling unwell, but not every cat has read the instruction book...

hope she is ok

Hot weather means back door open, which means flies pop in for a buzz about, which means cat charges around like a maniac trying to nail it.

He's usually unsuccessful, but I did see him get one and chomp it down.

Cats feeling unwell tend to be less, rather than more sociable.

If you can feel a nodule I would take her to the vet sooner rather than later.

Agent Sparrow my old lady cat became super cuddly and lap-sitting in her twilight years. I think it was probably because she had achy old bones and I performed a sort of heat pad role The minute I sat down, she'd sit on me and demand fusses.

Only me though

that's the look of a cat that's been woken up after only about 10 hours' sleep...

It kind of reminds me of how my kids cuddle up to me when they’re unwell. Her sister was very cuddly too when she was ill. I don’t think she’s anywhere near death’s door though, thankfully. Just less active and more sleepy.

If you can feel a nodule I would take her to the vet sooner rather than later.

Yeah she’s already been checked out, and the vet said it’s probably just a benign lump but there’s a small chance it could be a thyroid thing. I’ve got to take her back in about a month to be reweighed.

Aw, I quite like the idea of being a hot water bottle for her creaky joints.

She still looks pretty good, in some ways better since we changed her flea treatment and finally got them completely under control.

Oh, and when out today I saw a fake Trillian!

Bob and Cutie are 7 years old today. I made them a steak cake, with Pawsome Pockets for garnish. Little fuckers eat better than me

Clearing my phone I found this.

[xsunnysuex]

Looking for this cheeky monkey. And find him in my bed.

 

[Agent Sparrow]

Now I’m in bed feeling ill and want Trillian to come along and cuddle me.

It's probably tired, and just wants to curl up on the bed for an hour or eight.
