Your daily cat and kitten news

He really does - that might explain why I find his photo really sweet and comforting :) (Anyone else around my age get a bit of dust in their eye when they hear the start of the Bagpuss theme tune??)

No :mad: :D

I've been catching up on this thread after not looking at it for ages - sorry to hear about all the Radar stress, I'm bad enough when my one with the heart condition gets difficult with eating (about every bloody three weeks), keeping it all crossed for him and you.

Thanks, it's been incredibly stressful. He is now eating some on his own at least, and a lot of my panic comes from when I put down food for him and he says "meh" and leaves a bowl of something, but then he'll scoff something different later. The poor little sausage is so thin, he does seem to have put some weight back on, but I worry every time he goes "nah" at a bowl of food. I'm probably just being a bit worried mum with him though, he does seem to average about the right amount of food every 24 hours for his size, so hopefully the feeding tube can come out soon.

It's been an ordeal, to say the least. He's seemed pretty normal through most of it (except in the immediate aftermath of surgeries of course). I feel completely frazzled though.
 
FFS Blue has gone missing since yesterday. He's a complete dick for getting locked in garages and places he shouldn't be. Have put leaflets through all the doors of the houses around out the back and walked round the alleys whistling and listening for him. Bob usually does a good Lassie impression and shows us where he is but not today :(

Hopefully Blue is off adventuring and will be back soon... :)
 
I had a look today at the records I have been keeping of Radar's food intake, and despite my panic for the last week on days where he ate a little less - it really seems like it's evened out over the week, just eating a bit less some days and a bit more on others. Today I think the stitches in his mouth are all dissolved and he's been gobbling food like there's no tomorrow (still no dry, but enough wet for weight gain, ie more than he needs for his size, with a lot of enthusiasm!)

He's not had a tube feed or appetite stimulants for over a week now, and although he is still underweight his spine now feels a bit less prominent.

I spoke to the vet hospital this morning, and they want to see him early next week for a checkup, weigh-in, and if he has gained weight, possible removal of the feeding tube.

Although I am still anxious about his eating habits, I really feel very hopeful that we are getting back towards normality - fingers crossed. :)
 
Sasaferrato your Gremlin looks just like my Max, a proper little character we had when I was a kid :) He once pelted me with dead baby birds as I was trying to get him down from a tree. Sadly he was one of life's burn fierce, burn fast cats and we didn't have him too long before he adventured off this mortal coil. But I loved him.

You've done him proud, Epona - he couldn't have asked for a better human to help him through this.
 
A baby Gremlin, with some chap that seems vaguely familiar. :)

Gremlin and Bunyip.

Gremlin and Gizmo really loved one another, they used to groom each other. After Gremlin went, Gizmo was never the same.
