That's putting it mildly, it's been a worry at the forefront of my mind for the last 2 weeks that my cat who is only 7 and who I love dearly had to have surgery and might have cancer, I've been in a right state about it.
Next week it's Radar's turn for his checkup, I hope that goes more smoothly.

well got the new kitten yesterday:
From gumtree. Claimed she was 8 weeks, which is nonsense as she is much younger. was prepared for fleas this time. Put her in the bath tub and combed her, and sure enough she was covered in them. Gave her Johnsons deflea tablet and within 15 minutes fleas where dropping dead from her. with the eggs, just combed and combed and dipped the comb in boiling water. then sprayed the flat with flea spray just in case.
The first meeting I videoed.
Chloe has more or less accepted her, Bella is being more difficult. It makes me laugh to see Chloe look to Bella to see how she reacts, before deciding on what to do. That bella is the instigator.
But once again, Thriller has the magic touch with cat intros. 
At the moment they are all asleep on my bed.

Good luck with the new kitten!
Although I have to be honest, if you can bring home a kitten with fleas and let it meet your others, how do you know it doesn't have FeLV or FIV? Get it tested asap, preferably before it swaps saliva (a risk with FeLV, FIV is less easy to pass on) with any of your other cats.

very cute, you have good taste in kitties.
but, and here comes the but.
stop it.
give yourself time to get to know the cats you have.
you're in a flat, these cats are in the flat as well, not able to go anywhere else. any problems between them will be multiplied by the fact they cant get away from each other.
under 8 weeks is young. she may not have properly weaned. they wean fully in week 7 i believe. i wouldn't be suppruised if she starts sucking on stuff. and she won't have been properly socialised. give you an idea, the major rescues don't seperate until 12 weeks. keep a bloody good eye out and make sure she is eating properly, seperately to the other 2 so shes able to eat what she wants in her own time. she's tiny, make sure she has a warm place to sleep.

Good post, am in complete agreement with that. 7 or 8 weeks is way too young for a kitten to be separated from its mother - it can of course happen with strays and orphans where there is an emergency, but if a kitten has a mother then 12 weeks is the ideal time for the kitten to stay with mum. They may be weaned by week 8, but they learn interaction and social skills after that, which will make them a far better pet.
Chloe and Bella don't seem to be chasing each other as they were before Rogue arrived. I'll keep them apart when I go to work tomorrow. If things don't go according to plan and Chloe and Bella don't get back to their usual self-will have to give Rogue away. But I'm going to give it a good couple of weeks before throwing the towel in. It's early days-not giving up yet.
Chloe is such a good girl though-the best cat a man could want. She accepted Bella in just two days and has accepted Rogue too after just a day of mild hostility. But Rogue is cautious and fights and resists Chloe when she attempts to lick her head and neck.
Took her to the vets on the same day (luckily had an appointment for Bella on that day for her second jab). Made an appointment for this coming friday to get her her first injection. Both Chloe and Bella are now both vaccinated.

She's lovely and looks spookily like my dearly departed Wilbur when he was a kitten. But please don't get any more and please make sure that she has somewhere to hide.

Aww you had a Wilbur. I have a Wilbur. Wilburs are ace.
Sachin has finally been to have his gnashers sorted. He's off his box on drugs at the moment. When I collected him his eyes looked like something from the muntered thread.

My cat has diarrhea :-( and my mums coming to stay today. Think its been caused by some dodgy looking food from the co-op. Ive put her on dry food & water. Any other food recommendations? Or maybe just no food for a bit?

Wilburs are ace indeed! Though mine was one of the grey cats who have made me decide that grey cats have too much personality for their own good, he was somewhat larger than life
Hope Sachin feels better soon

Plain boiled chicken is good for them; easy and simple to digest. Boiled rice and scrambled eggs are also recommended.

Oh he's beautiful - Hi Wilbur!
Wilbur says hi. He's quite grey but looks more brown in this photo taken just as he's between my legs having crashed out with Moma for the night.

So far I have offered, over the years, my 3 (now, unfortunately 1)
Smoked Salmon - not just the "cheap stuff" but the "expensive stuff"
TtD Fillet Steak (ditto)
Chicken (you REALLY don't want to know - but it was cooked especially, starts with a Wait)
Corn on the Cob (It was Jess, don't ask, but if you've ever seen a Tom and Jerry you'll get the idea)
Lobster
Fresh raw (Waitrose) mince
Lump Fish caviar
Venison
Poached:-
Cod
Plaice
Rock Fish
PrawnsPlaice
Rock Fish
ALL. And I mean ALL of the luxury cat food brands
And "that's" what I'm prepared to own up to
In my defence
Jess - 15-17 years old
Rusty - similar
Bob - at the moment "bouncing off 20 - if he gets to the end of the year then "officially" 20 years old
And on the plus side - we don't have kids - or "stinky" dogs for that matter (but we do love dogs as well)

I will hopefully be able to remove Jakey's inflatable collar tomorrow - I've been grooming his back and sides and scratching his ears as he can't do it himself, but it's obviously got itchy under the collar. Every time I take it off to readjust it/check inflation he's scratching his greasy neck the poor dear.
At least I hope it can come off for good tomorrow, he's still a bit scabby around the incision. :/

Sachin was a bit glum this morning despite a good portion of poached chicken thighs. Given him his pain killers now and he's perked up a bit. He is still confined at the moment but I'm letting him out later. He's been cleaning his cheeks post eating doing a wet paw rub and I realised that he'd stopped doing that. His face looks slimmer now too. No sign of a poo yet which I assume is a mix of residual vet fear, pain killers and crossed paws. No bad thing cos it'll be a stinker.
Epona the relief of Jakey getting air to his neck again will be immense. The poor love must be so frustrated by not being able to have a good scratch so I hope it comes off.

The relief of me being able to sleep properly in bed after spending 17 days supervising him to make sure he doesn't get caught up somewhere and hang himself, and 17 nights on the fucking sofa looking after him and waking up at every slightest movement he makes - now that will be immense.
Good luck with Sachin!
