Your daily cat and kitten news

[Orang Utan]

Well often at Xmas stuff is delivered in cardboard boxes. So they kind of by default often get a new cardboard box around that time But it isn't their only one all year of course

ooh yeah and balls of wrapping paper!

 

[Calamity1971]

You're not putting this box in the recycling. I'm going to sit next to the bin in it?

There is something wrong with big Chloe. has been larthargic and lost her apatite. Almost a week now. Taken her to goddard vet. Did a blood test. has been given pro-kolin, apatite tablet. Anti-nausea jab. Nothing seems to be working. Took her to the RVC in camden today for second opinion. they gave her painkillers and said if things don't improve in next 10 days or so, then a scan of her abdomen would be the next step.

The hot/humid, muggy/heavy summer weather like we have been having recently can make my cat pretty lethargic and with not so much of an appetite. It usually rapidly returns to normal when it cools down a bit.

Another tough day in cat land

This is feral Harry on Vanessa’s doorstep directly opposite this morning.
Classic cat doorstep pose I reckon.
Harry has adopted our end of the road but he is owned by nobody, you might call him a freecat of the land.

My sis-in-law lived on a large crescent street in Nottingham for much of the 90s that had a communal moggy. Her house called him Billy but, after enquiries with the neighbours, discovered he went by several other monikers and had a routine as to whose turn it was to feed him dinner so he never outstayed him welcome in any one household.

Sounds like Harry.
And to an extent my mate Bloom who tarts himself up and down about ten houses round me.
If you take away the years an average person spends at work, or otherwise stressed and worried about coping with existence, I would guess cats have a better quality of life than we do

That was the plot of a children's book I owned as a child - Inga Moore's Six Dinner Sid! The cat in that book lives the life of Riley with six different families - until he gets ill one day and gets six different vet trips, and is promptly rumbled.

No - not at all. The notion that two sentient and affectionate creatures have actively chosen to share our living space and trust us more than anyone is a pretty goshdarned amazing situation - their ability to melt our hearts on a regular basis even more so.

 

[spitfire]

The one here is still going and she has battered it a bit, still scratches the top, plays with the puzzle and sits on it as a perch!

Win! Thanks ddraig.

 

[ddraig]
