Thought I'd provide a brief update..  Looks like both cats are on the upswing, I think this thing is finally on its way out! 

Thanks kittylover23,  Well, the saga continues.. I think this may be URI born, as no sooner did Mai Tai's right eye recover, her left eye became inflamed.  I started to see inflamation last night and the left eye had a trail of green goo down from the inner corner of by this morning.  I have...

I have an Emery Cat scratching pad. I got it at my local pet store, it said "as seen on TV.." My cats use it a little, but I think they prefer their regular cardboard horizontal scratchers to this one.  Also, I don't notice a difference in the length of their claws.  I don't think it really...

Thank you OrientalSlave, I took her to the vet this morning since Dr. thought that she should have shown improvement by now. She dyed the cornea again to check for missed ulcerations/scratches and found none.  Dr. thinks that it is feline chlamydia or possible herpes virus, resistant to the...

About a week ago, I noticed that 3-yr-old Mai Tai's right eye was a little droopy and had a goob in the corner.  I cleaned the goobie from the eye, gently with a qtip, for the next 2 days.  It would come back about 2 hours after cleaning it and it was starting to be a green discharge, so I took...

Hope the babies are doing well today

Do you have neomycin ointment?  You're going to want to protect the wound.   I wouldn't mess with it anymore, picking a scab off can make a wound more vulnerable to infection.  You're going to want to get her back in to the vet.  An open wound can go from bad to worst in a hurry. 

Ha!  Tater Sue, a Siamanx, makes the ppppprrrrrttttt noise often.  She mutters ppppprrrrrttttppppprrrrrtttppppprrrtttt all day long, whenever she is bored, hungry, sleepy, looking for someone to play with.  I can hear her muttering to herself all over the house, sometimes she'll jump off of a...

I have a 4-litter pans to 2-kitties ratio, two upstairs and two downstairs.  Both of the kitties now have to "christen" all of the litter boxes every a.m. and p.m., when I clean them.   Tater Sue is a "litter kicker"..  Mai Tai is very prissy and neat, you can hardly tell she's been in there...

When a cat sits in its litter it is usually an attempt to retreat to a smell that she is familiar with to find comfort, even if it is the stink of her own poop.  My guess is that since these two have lost their mama and been through quite a trauma.  I would try perhaps a pheromone spray, that...

Oh what sweeties!!  Good thing they happened upon such caring people to swoop in to help!
