Your daily cat and kitten news

[Epona]

My dear departed Radar was like that too, he was quite mouthy and vocal as a kitten but when he was about a year old he was quite ill with something that caused a lot of throat inflammation (very worrying at the time) and almost completely lost his voice for the rest of his life.

He had a little squeak that he would occasionally make, and he did the "so happy to see you!" brrrrrrp cat trilling thing, and the "I want to kill birds akakakakakak" hunting/teeth-chattering noise, but he never miaowed again.

Our lovely Stan's having an op tomorrow to try to remove some of the large tumour on his head. Given his age, they have no idea how successful it will be, whether the wound will heal up properly, whether he'll still have an ear, or even if he'll make it out of anaesthetic. Just about to remove his food, in preparation. Quite terrified, really.

Couple of Lilith's friends have come to call for her.

And the tabby whose name I still don't know.

Reminds me of a restaurant in Lochinver that mainly specialised in seafood.

When I was last in it, I couldn't help noticing that every window had a cat siting in it, looking-inside, hopefully!

 

[Me76]

Sunbathing cat. She's been there for hours and I'm worried she's going to give her self heatstroke

Stan’s home, one ear completely removed and a with a fierce lion cut for summer. He looks like a gremlin.

Currently trying to navigate his food bowl with a hard collar on, but will be off to bed with some gabapentin shortly. They’ve removed what they could of the tumour, but there’s nowhere to go if it comes back. But then he’s nearly 17, so we’ll just enjoy whatever time we have left.

Thanks for all your good wishes, much appreciated xx

Very relieved to hear that he made it through the surgery and anaesthetic - every bit of time you can have with them is precious and yes he is an old boy now, but I've always thought losing them during surgery must be particularly distressing for their humans.
I hope his recovery goes well and that you get a lot longer to enjoy him in his (hopefully healthy!) dotage.

Bless his heart xx

Awww. So sorry that Sir Stan's had to go from stereo to mono setting but really really glad he's made it through to enjoy being pampered and adored for a while longer.

Big love to one-eared Stan, may you heal swiftly and painlessly.

 

[LeytonCatLady]

Have you named the tabby??

I don't feel it's my place! They've probably got numerous names and families throughout Tottenham anyway, knowing cats. I suspect my Lilith has a friend or two who"s sneaking her kitty treats on the quiet, judging by her recent weight gain. Not a lot but noticeable close up.

We Love you Stan

Cone is off! The foster cat had to move on, he had never been outside or exposed to other cats so he was too jealous and tore Acapulco's stitches, bad (and quite expensive) timing.

 

[rutabowa]

The vet couldn't find Acapulco a surgical vest that fit because he is a "big boy" apparently, he is on a diet now. But I think the cone being off balances it out.

a dog wandered in to the garden this afternoon (apparently dog had got out from a garden a street or two away)

kitty next door (smallish black + white, she must be 12 or so now) apparently chased him home...
