Your daily cat and kitten news

I've never bothered before with deep scratches but everyone I've spoken to has been shitting me up with talk of sepsis etc. Never been bitten off a cat and my tetanus is out of date anyway.
Durham is having a crisis of no doctor! Got to go back at 7.30 to urgent care. 111 said I didn't need an appointment for urgent care but apparently you do. Ffs Bob, ya wee shite.
 
Yeah, I always thought cat bites weren't all that until someone I work with spent two weeks in hospital with serious infection/sepsis.

Yeh, doc said its because cats teeth are hollow. 500mg of co-amoxiclav, magnesium sulphate paste to draw out any nasties and a tetanus. In my arm Shirl but he did say he'd jab my arse if I preferred. :D
 
10!! Poor Vincent. Has he got special soft treats?
No special soft treats, I'm a bad owner :facepalm:
He's got minced beef with gravy and some fish from the chippy.
He'll be back on biscuits and sachets tomorrow.
The vetenary nurse told me that her cat had no teeth but was only fed biscuits. She said he just somehow chucks them down his throat :)

Minced beef and fish is totally treats and is as much as I would do. You are not a bad owner at all :thumbs:

Well that's me learned then :oops:
 
There we were, me lying on my back in bed this morning, Missy lying on my chest, looking smug. I think I tried to scratch some part of my body, which seemingly provoked a slap in the face. Thankfully there were no claws used.

I got a little slap on the cheek from Zoe today - thankfully also no claws.

In todays other cat and kitten news, Paddy has thrown a massive strop because he doesn't like his new (cheaper but still relatively expensive) biscuits. Howling, sitting on my keyboard, filthy looks. My OH is giving in and buying him some of the old ones tomorrow. (((our household budget)))
 
After carefully checking-out my tent and seeing all was to his satisfaction, the (rather smelly) campsite tomcat in Ullapool gave my car the once-over:

Before deciding that the back window was the correct place to settle down for a little snooze:

Until I sat in the front seat that is - when he decided to curl-up on my knees for a few minutes, enjoying a gentle stroke, before resuming his patrol..!
 
My cat has got gingivitis :( Only 3 yrs old poor bugger, vet recommends cleaning his teeth under anaesthetic with the possibility he might need some teeth removed. Seems a bit drastic to me but his gums do look sore

(((( kitty ))))

it is an occupational hazard for house-kitties, especially if their diet is mainly tinned food. some varieties of cat biscuit can help, although some cats tend to hoover rather than chew. a diet that includes free range mousies is best for cats' teeth (when i lived with mogs, hunter mog never had problems like this, dopey mog (he caught a mouse once but wanted to keep it as a pet) did...
 
My cats still at the vets :(
Over the past week her red blood cells have been fluctuating and they think she my have autoimmune anaemia (which I have never heard of). This is also treatable but is complicated by the fact that she has diabetes and pancreatitis. The vet was suggestjng that her quality of life was to be considered now. The vets are going to talk amongst themselves and see if they're missing something and if they do advise euthanasia I will be able to bring her home to say good to ShiftyJunior and the house.
I feel really bad that she's been there this long so would enjoy having her home for a little while. I'm really not ready to let her go but it doesn't seem as though they can treat the crisis shes having now and the longer term outlook ain't so great either
