Where's the toilet rolls?

I know. Better facilities than probably 2/3 (guess) of the world population - just as well they do a 90 day money back guarantee as this could become the ultimate "White Cat Box" folly - I know what I mean, in my head, a combination of white elephant and how cats always prefer the box over whatever expensive bed or toy or whatever you've just bought them

My cat prefers the next door neighbours Hydranga pot!
 
My neurotic blue cat Pan has been bleeding from her rear end - not sure if it's a piss infection or bum trouble caused by the dry food we 'treated' her to over the weekend. Not loads, but a fair few drips in several parts of the kitchen. New fucking vet has ch-chinged £160 notes out of me already the fucker - saying we should do this test and that scan and other stuff I know nothing about but which will make him (the new owner) a nice wedge. :mad::(:mad::(

((Pan and soj's purse)) Wilbur used to get bloody shits when he'd been at the cat milk. Might be something similar or like you say, just a touch of the farmers. No litter tray for him now so I'm not sure how his are now. I'm torn between mad and happy that Sachin is fine but it's cost me some decent dollar to find that out.

Dry food irritates her arse - she ends up licking it so much that it then gets raw :rolleyes::rolleyes: There is nothing in this world that is quite so offputting and fury-inducing as a cat constantly licking its arse. But this is different, and I found blood in the litter where she's been pissing. This could, of course, be linked to her incredible neuroses about everything, but still scary. :(

Glad your kitty is fine anyway mate :)

discobastard - this is semi-officially called "meerkatting" by cat people and is not out of the ordinary. (or perhaps that's just what your soon-to-be-bipedal furry overlords want you to think.). My loancat does it too. very disconcerting at first...

Fucking gobshite of a vet tried to ch-ching an extra £130 out of me! It's a new fella, and it's owned by Medivet now. Corporate dicklike behaviour. He mentioned something about the thickness of her bladder and I said well it's probably the repeated infections, she gets them at the drop of a hat through stress. He actually said to me 'why didn't you tell me?'. Err - is that not why you keep notes?! Did you not check the notes? Cos it would say 'piss infection' over and over again! His response? 'I treat hundreds of animals, I don't have the time to do that'. What the living FUCK? :mad::mad::mad::mad::mad: I got all the extra charges taken off cos it was unnecessary shit too.

He can fuck right off from now on. I'm finding a new vet. Thieving irresponsible cunt.:mad::mad::mad::mad:

Anyway, she got a big shot of antiobiotics and that's always fixed her in the past. She's looking happier already today.

Loancat is never all that bright, he's better described as having "low cunning" at best, but spring sunshine brings out the fool in him. being THIS relaxed may not last for long if he keeps lying like that...

Mrs Voltz has had one of her feelings about Clive's left eye - she's convinced it's a bit cloudy - now I've looked at it and I'll be honest I'm damned if I can see that much difference between either eye - there's no puffiness - no discharge - it's not watery - both pupils are the same - all in all there's no easily discernible difference

Just to be on the safe side I rang up the animal sanctuary where we got him and Casper from and asked the question about on his notes he's had some anti-bios, what for and was it his left eye?

Turns out our Clive has got a bit of a medical history, which we weren't made aware of

He's been on a course of Ronaxan - for a couple of weeks to see if it would sort out his. . . . LEFT EYE

Then he had a general anaesthetic so they could have a good look at it and take swabs to check for various nasties - these came back all clear btw

Then he had another general, this time for a steroid injection into his eye <ouch> to see if it would clear up his superficial keratitis (do NOT google this if easily upset)

Seems the injection cleared his eye up nicely, which was just as well as the next course of action was to remove the eye totally

Now, we're NOT going to send Clive back, but I'm pretty pissed off that we weren't made aware of his FULL medical history - there's only so much I can write down to amateur incompetence and this is bouncing right off the limiter

Still, on the plus side - both Clive and Casper are showing daily improvements in their confidence and FiFi has been out for another 45 minutes totally unsupervised and has come back in with minimal swearing
 
:( at poorly clive and :hmph: at not being given info you could have used to get him the right treatment quicker

get well soon, clive

Oh no - he was "fixed" before we got him - he's well even as we speak - except he's got a bit of a cloudy left eye - it's not bothering him at all - my fear is that whatever it was that caused it flares up again as to get him to our vet would be nigh on impossible and if it does flare up he ends up loosing the eye

I know that it's not that big a deal but him and his brother have had a pretty tough start in life and I just want them to have a great life with us
 
On the plus side - when I spoke to the sanctuary that still have Clive and Casper's two remaining sisters with them - it turns out that they've also been re-homed - so that's all 6 from the same house hold have been re-homed

The sisters must have been there for the full year - so god knows what state they were in
 
Mr. Kippers had his annual at the vets the other day. I couldn't make it so Mr.QofG's had to wrangle him into the cat box on his own.

There was apparently a lot of hissing, he needed a poo because he'd missed his morning one (it was a 9am appointment so we shut the cat flat at 8.30 'cos otherwise he would just run!) and, despite massaging by the vet, he spat out his first worming tablet then blew a large cat saliva bubble. With a defiant look!

Oh and he has a bad tooth which will probably have to come out :( It was suggested that we brush his teeth everyday but despite the appealing idea of a little cat toothbrush I am not really sure how feasible that is :D

Why not got the whole hog and give him bath and/or shower every day as well - he might as well be clean when he rips your lungs out as you try to clean his teeth

I <3 Mr Kipper btw - he's a very handsome chap indeed

Can I go off topic a bit?

What do people think of Joe & Jill's dry cat food? I have bought it for the second week now; the three really like it and the meat content is quite high though I am suspicious of the 'meal' content. Do they really like because it is very good or because crack has been added to it?

No, it is Dreamies that has the crack added. :D

Sure. The boss told me that I needed to start feeding them less as she saw a mouse in the kitchen a few weeks ago. As if to prove a point there has been a string of dead animals turning up. Social workers turned up today to find them munching a rabbit.

Still a stoat is pretty good going. They're pretty savage fuckers themselves.
 
Clive - (the one "reclining")

and

Casper - (just his head visible through the bannisters)

When you consider how shy they were when we first got them this improvement is remarkable

Bear in mind as well that FiFi is also in the room - yes, there's been a bit of hissing and swearing from FiFi - the boys really aren't that bothered by her they're just glad to get out of their safety room for a break
