The Cat Thread

How are his eyes, are his inner eyelids showing at all?

No not really but he does have runny/gummy eyes a little

Taken bloods from him for testing for pretty much everything, so still the waiting game to find out

Celeste has a circle thing filled with cardboard that she loves sitting in/scratching. Like one of these. I went out for a couple of hours and she has managed to rip out lots of the cardboard and is now having the time of her fucking life chasing bits of cardboard all over the house. And there are bits of cardboard ALL over the house.

I hope you have good news and he's on the mend soon!

Fingers crossed

Thanks both! Fingers crossed he's just needing antibiotics or something

Or if it is one of mine, nothing is wrong.

Boy cat is really getting to be an attention seeker. He claws you to get attention. Wants to be picked up and cuddled, and have his tummy rubbed. This is annoying at 3am.

New addition, no name yet. We have 2x 5 year old sisters already, this is a boy. Any tips for making sure they get along?

From my experience they'll get along with a kitten rather quick. The fight for dominance will start later but will sort itself out. Cute little addition!

We used to have this with 2 Maine Coons, close to twice the weight. Every single morning around 5.

Literally sounded like a stampede of horses haha.

Now we just have the one who likes to get his freak on in the garden, which is appreciated.

Or if it is one of mine, nothing is wrong

Did symptoms get better by themselves?

Does Feliway actually work? Anyone used the plug ins?

Asking for a feline friend who's about to move (with me and Mrs W) to my parent's place cos we're imminently (and hopefully temporarily) homeless. She's never been in a car, never shared a house with another (albeit ancient and blind) cat and won't remember the last time we locked her in for any period of time... so this could get exciting.

When we moved we used the Feliway spray plus the spot on treatment. Spray in each corner of their carriers

No idea if it made any difference, they cried the entire journey anyway

His blood tests all came back fine. He's booked in for sedation and ultrasound on Monday. Hoping for the best really :/

fingers crossed. glad the bloods are clear now the next step.
has he perked up at all ?

A little bit, but he's still just picking at his biscuits and barely drinking any water. I've had to give him a saucer of skimmed milk which normally he would devour, but he's drinking it in stages. He's very sleepy and kinda floppy.

Normally you touch his belly he'll have your hand off, but he's allowing me to stroke him there....

Yes, my two are house cat, balcony and garden cats.

There were lots of vets tests, and two blood drawings to check. Which stressed the cats out and nothing out of the ordinary. Things just stopped.

Use the feliway spray on the blanket that in on the floor of the dog cage that the cats sit in.

The cats seem fine then I do release them in the car and the cats feel better watching the road or asleep on us. Is it the drugs or not, don't know. But they are in the car for at least seven hours.

Seven.... hours! In a car... with cats!

Fair play!

Hope he gets better. 👍

He seems a bit brighter today. He's had some kibble, drank water, had a pee and a poo!

And a lot more 'with it' and sociable too.

Probably was just working through a hangover. Found a bag of dank catnip and had a bit of a sesh

I hope so. Will monitor him rest of weekend. I don't know if I can cancel that vet work on Monday without financial penalty if it comes to it....

London to Paris, and that is the quick way using the eurotunnel and pay autoroute. Have had it go wrong due to accidents and road closures and it was over 14hours.

They furballs have litter, water and food.
