    Cat With New Amputated Leg Not Accepted By His Mates

    I think with time they will accept him. He continues to approach them. Today he graduated out of the cage to one room. He managed to jump on things anyway. Next week he is free within the house, so it will work out somehow I think with time.

    Cat With New Amputated Leg Not Accepted By His Mates

    Thank you. I will keep the scent rubbing thing going. It's so sad because he gets so excited to see them and then is so crushed when they hiss and growl at him. He has another brother who was more accepting but he's vanished. Dead or stolen. He never wandered at disappeared on the morning of...

    Cat With New Amputated Leg Not Accepted By His Mates

    Maybe they forgot his scent. He was gone for days. I just tried the sock trick of putting the other cat's scent on them. The mother cat really doesn't like his scent. She growled hissed and scratched me when I tried to rub the sock on her. I think they see he's injured, and they've decided he's...

    Cat With New Amputated Leg Not Accepted By His Mates

    Thanks. I have figured out how to search now. I found an article about non recognition aggression and it has some tips. They are separated with the amputated cat alone in a cage in my room or on my bed with me. I will try the scent rubbing trick but I really doubt he still smells like the vet. I...

    Cat With New Amputated Leg Not Accepted By His Mates

    Our 1 year old half Bengal cat was hit by a car and lost a leg. He also had big bandages on the other rear leg but now just a small one. He's been home for weeks though still confined mostly to a cage, so I don't think he smells funny. But his mom and his brother won't accept him. They were...

    3 year old Bengal unwell since Friday evening

    Yes, I'm sure she is in pain. I don't know if they checked her pee. I wonder if it could be something pee related they way she is hunched up. I will ask tomorrow. Nothing unusual has happened. She lives a happy life with her sons and almost never goes outside.

    3 year old Bengal unwell since Friday evening

    She went to the vet Saturday, got a shot then and then back Monday. She stayed there until Tuesday afternoon. She had a second shot then. I know they did blood tests and ruled out things that way but I'm not sure what exactly. Im also not sure what X-rays but I think they took a lot. She doesn't...

    3 year old Bengal unwell since Friday evening

    Our normally friendly Bengal girl started being all hunched up and growling on Friday evening and today Wednesday is no better. She eats when I give it to her in her hiding spot. I guess she must come out to drink but that's it. She's been to the vets and all tests show nothing at all. She's had...

    Problems with nursing kitten

    Finally she came back! Tired and hungry and very dirty. She's still in heat so I'm not sure she was successful. Hope not. She's been locked in a bathroom, now in the new house, so he can eat. He seems ok.

    Problems with nursing kitten

    Me too. She sounded so miserable. I thought all windows were shut but there was one that someone didn't latch properly. Or else my husband didn't notice when he left the house, more likely the window.

    Problems with nursing kitten

    She's totally in heat and has been for the last three days. She got out day one for a few minutes, 30 or so. I held the kitten on the balcony and he cried loudly. A black Manx cat I've never seen came running and calling to the kitten. Then a little later the same cat and mine were playing...

    Problems with nursing kitten

    I've checked, the vet is part of a large group and the policy is standard. I'm sure someone might have done it but there aren't an endless supply of vets near us. That night I really had no choice as it was the place everyone directed me to. It was late. They were locked in the bathroom. After...

    Problems with nursing kitten

    Great idea about the rice. I do have socks but no rice. I did find a plastic bottle and filled it with hot water, wrapped it up and he's happy cuddling next to it. Since she left I've gotten about 10 ml down. When he wakes I'm sure I will too and I will try again. I worry when the mom will come...

    Problems with nursing kitten

    She just had a c section and they wouldn't do it then because it might have messed up her milk production due to hormone loss. Here in uk I really doubt they would open her up until she has a long time to heal nor will they fix a cat in heat or pregnant because of too much blood loss during...
