    Kitten with a broken front leg

    Hi everyone. Sorry for not updating. Took the cat to the vet yesterday and he said the bones is healing very nicely. While it's not 100% healed, it's close. The bone is just ee-strengthening itself the vet said He's surprised by how well it's healed actually. The cat has no significant...

    Kitten with a broken front leg

    Not sure on the dimensions but it's big enough for him to move around in and for us to put in both a food tray and a litter box albeit small. The problem is he gets so panicky when going into the carrier cage that he justs destroys everything inside. The kitty litter and food just goes...

    Kitten with a broken front leg

    Yeah, we moved all of the furniture that he could potentially climb up. Somehow he got on top of my fishtank which is very high. I'm curious as to how he did that as it's on a custom stand. I'm considering breaking the tank down and moving it to another location. My wife and I are having...

    Kitten with a broken front leg

    Kitty update. He's doing pretty well. He kept him in a carrier for a while and let him out for him to learn how to walk. We were pretty impressed with his ability to get around. By Thursday night, he could climb onto our laps and even got onto the couch. We could also pick him up without him...

    Kitten with a broken front leg

    Yeah, he's been doing fine so far. It depends how agitated he is. Hmmm....I'm going to mull it over today. I'm not 100% confident in my abilities to splint a cat. But I feel like if I wait too long, it could have bad consequences. When he walks, he obviously keeps the leg up as it hurts...

    Kitten with a broken front leg

    This is he was like when I found him. My wife and I talked about the best course if action. She had a cat with a broken back leg that healed on its own. It was an outside cat. So she thinks that it's best for him emotionally to not be caged up. He also tries to chew through the cage. We...

    Kitten with a broken front leg

    Here are some more. He's very friendly and enjoys being by us but also very independent. I finally found the edit button. Sorry for so many double posts. I read that cats have strong bones that heal quickly. Is this true? The vet said 2-4 weeks, depending if he keeps off it and rests. What...

    Kitten with a broken front leg

    Thank you everyone for the kind answers. I did leave out a few certain key factors that I didn't think were extremely important. Number 1, I'm allergic to cats. I love them but I sneeze and get itchy eyes when ok around them. I take allergy relief medicine to keep me stable. Number 2: With...

    Kitten with a broken front leg

    Sorry if I seemed a bit confrontational, just some of our options are a bit limited due to  finances (we have a wedding ceremony coming up in 2 months in the States), time (we both work long days), and the cats personality.  As I said, he is very feisty and hates being caged up.  He gets very...

    Kitten with a broken front leg

    And update: he's crying a lot less and is making his purring sounds. We have our laptop set up playing purring sounds 24/7. We heard that encourages healing.
