Your daily cat and kitten news

[Mogden]

I just caved in and let Stan out. He seems steady enough on his legs, and was driving us bananas jumping on and off the window ledge and trying to claw the glass to pieces. 11 hours since he awoke from the general anaesthetic, so I think he'll be ok.

They do go a bit mental now and again don't they. Hope he's less wobbly and peeved today.

That's both sweet and a little bit stalkerish at the same time

Herbie was like that with OH - clung like a limpet if we were away for more than about 24 hours. The length of the cling seemed to be proportionate to the amount of time away.

Breeze is more like, "Hey, you guys are back. Cool! What did you bring me? Can I go out back now?" that sort of thing.

I was out again for a long time Friday, and when I got back Sonic kind of slumped on my lap and stretched his paw up to grip onto me like a limpet. My mum took a couple of photos and if I don't look too hideous in them I will post one when I get a copy!

It's poured down all night. Stan's just come in, bone dry.

Oh. That Trick. Of what (or whom) did Stan smell ?

 

[moose]

Slightly Baby Bio-ish. I suspect the neighbour's conservatory.

Went into the bedroom, no visible cat. Called "Hilli" but no response ......
then saw the lump under the duvet,
ffs it's summer, that is what she does in winter.

She's probably sampling your low Summer tog rating.

Blimey, is he often that clingy? That's one needy cat! Still cute mind

He's ALWAYS that clingy! - but I particularly chose that breed because I like to have affectionate pets that actually want to have me around, and the breed is known for being quite needy and high-maintenance! If I hadn't wanted that, there are plenty of other cats (both pedigree and mogster) that I could have chosen instead. Having a cat like that is not for everyone as they can be quite hard work (when he's not sleeping, if he doesn't want a cuddle then he's usually bugging me to throw things so that he can play fetch), but it suits me very nicely.

Lazy Sunday morning! Breeze gradually wiggled over so she was using Griff's arse as a pillow. At one point, she was purring and the pigs were both singing. Bliss!

 

[trashpony]

Love those cat/pig pix
There was a FROG in my hallway this morning. A fucking frog. I rescued it and it hopped off outside, looking relatively unscathed. Could Bubbles have brought it in through the cat flap without harming it?

I had to shut him in the living room while I took the frog out. He wasn't happy with me

 

[CRI]

Either that, or the frog's cracked your high tech cat flap's code!

OMG a microchipped frog!

Cutie-pie that is Willy Willows this morning......back to the vets tomorrow to see if the lump has shrunk. If it hasn't it likely means an operation

 

[veracity]

The kits will be 8 weeks old on Wednesday. Starting to panic as I called up the cattery who were meant to be helping find them homes, and they're full to capacity so may not be able to take them this week. The kits' mum, Marjorie, is at the end of her tether with them, as you can see.

I've found a home for one of the tabbies, and am starting to advertise them on a local Facebook group... hopefully we'll get them in nice homes quickly . Who could resist these little faces?

And here's lovely little Raffles, not plotting any evil for a change..

 

[fucthest8]

Nice pictures both veracity and slightlytouched - hope Willy is ok

(MUST..... RESIST..... KITTENS.....)

 

[CRI]

Wow, how quickly those wee ones have grown.

Fingers crossed for Willow.

Bugger.....The lump in Willow's abdomen has grown despite being on antibiotics, so she is booked in for an exploratory operation on Thursday . I'm just glad that she is not in any pain with it.

Sorry to hear that. Hope they manage to sort her out ok.

 

[slightlytouched]

The vet has just rung and postponed for 2 weeks, but that is better any way as then I'll be at home to look after her. It's not bothering her so I'm sure the wait will be fine.

 

[Manter]

Hope it's all ok

 

[CRI]

Yes, hoping it's straightforward.

I'm taking Geri to the vets this morning. She is very, very sick I think.

they are such a worry! Hope it's not as bad as you fear x

Oh no, not Geri Thinking about you both . . .

 

[trabuquera]

fingers & paws crossed for you & her Geri

 

[Geri]

Well, it's not great news. The vet says she is very sick - dehydrated and jaundiced. Options were to take her to the hospital and put her on a drip for 24 hours and do some tests, put her to sleep there and then, or give her an injection and some powder to try and rehydrate her and see how she is over the next 24 hours and take her back tomorrow. I've opted for the latter.

When I left for work she was drinking some water, so that is a good sign, but I am prepared for the worst tomorrow. She is 17, so I've known for some time that this is on the cards.

 

[trashpony]

Oh Geri I'm so sorry. It's so hard
