So I have attached 2 benches together for the 4 kittens I have rescued over the summer. This way they can get some rest, eat their own food and don't get into anything dangerous while we're not there.
The thing is, as soon as I leave one of the doors ajar just enough for a kitten to go through...
I have a biting kitty. Now I don't mind but I'm trying to figure out why. Because she wants to be petted, she comes up for attention. I do think she was badly socialized(these people had a lot of litters of different ages and some where friendly but Binti and her big sister from another mother...
Yesterday at 4 am my husband got me out of bed because Patch(16) was acting really weird. When I got to her, she was splayed out, drooling and desoriented. She had a slight head tilt and was walking in circles with a very unsteady walk.
My thoughts were a stroke and we would monitor her, I...
So in the back of the house I made 2 rooms. It's kind of been shifting in size as the kitty population grew(due to rescue, I don't breed). I paired 2 kittens(Binti and Snoopy) together as they were both small and suffering from diarrea. Turns out it was coccidia and thankfully only these 2 had...
We found out what the lump was with Princess Zorro
The weird thing was, her intestines couldn't be pushed back, so it felt like a mass. I pushed it back once, which is why my suspicion was hernia. They managed to put it all back and hopefully she'll recover properly. In 25 years of practice...
I hung up a camera to see how Princess Zorro is doing. She has a huge lump after her spay but it's not hurting her, you can't push it back and it doesn't really hurt. The vet wanted to see how it goes this week but we'll probably go in end of the week to fix it.
Because yesterday I had to bring...
I just wanted to put a topic for Tempest. He passed away due to severe constipation....I thought it was UTI because of bladder stones but I was wrong and despite intensive treatment, he passed away at the vet.
He was trapped at a farm after we caught his mother and he and his siblings came out...
Last Thursday we lost 3 year old Tempest to severe constipation, the vet thought it might have been Ileus. He was given enema's and parrafin but nothing. I rushed him to the vet when I found him lying apathically and they did every thing they could but he breathed a big sigh 2 hours after I...
A little while ago I took in mama cat and her kittens. I had mama and son spayed/ neutered almost immediately and needed to save up for the girls.
Now Adam has not been well. He's always meowing at me and while most of my cats do his meow is pitiful. He's skinny and his fur is poofy, even under...
Snoopy and Binti have been in poop quarantine for a few weeks. Snoop came to me with diarrhea and Binti already had some issues.
They have been on several rounds of Metrobactin and last weekend was the last...again.
Binti also had anti-diarrhea pills, which sometimes seemed to do something, and...
We are all familiar with petting agression but I have 2 kittens who exhibit this strange behavior.
Binti, the small kitten, and her big sister, Zorro, about a month apart. Binti is the worst, she'll be cuddling with my hand and I'll be stroking her, petting her and she loves it but then out of...
With all the costs rising and dry food changing up packages and upping the price I'm looking into something.
I used to feed Smilla Urinary mixed with Sanabelle Sensitive. The cats weren't all fond of this but they ate. Then I had Smilla with Purina ONE and everybody loved it! Mostly the Purina...
I've been part of a Facebook group, called Cat Behaviour and Welfare and is being run by people who did an education based on a study and just every fibre of me is screaming bullshit. It's a dutch page and to me it's wrong...
Just a little excerpt: "This fantastic 'litter box' is actually the...
Some people in the street were giving this kitten, according to them 15 weeks old, away including all of his belongings..:censored: I of course had to step in.
He had a few fleas and was very potbellied, so I dewormed and deflead him. This all happened last Saturday, but he remains potbellied...
So I did it again....
Three years ago I helped a family on a farm with tnr. Great experience, 4 real ferals went back and the kittens found their home here plus one adult who gave up the feral life and is now a spoiled house cat.
Yesterday at 7 pm cet I got a phone call. The farmers wife...
This morning miss Victoria refused her yummy mousse and there was also vomit and a stinky poo smell. I seperated Binti from her and kept an eye out.
She was completely fine yesterday and now as soon as she gets a bit of food (I fed her some nutribound) she almost immediately vomits.
My worst...
I have taken in a very smol kitten, Binti. I weighed her yesterday at 750 grams. The trouble I'm having is her size..she is so very smol I am worried we either step on her and just this afternoon, she was playing with her adopted sister and she fell from about a height of about 5 feet. She...
2 of our cats are very insecure.
One, Cleo, is feral insecure, with cats, with people(she tolerates me the most). She loves a good stroking, but gets overstimulated or back in feral state and she'll nip. She's turning 3 next month and most of her life she has lived in a 'cage'. It's her home...
In February I lost Wolf to FIP
His thorax...
Then on May fourth I lost his brother Kion...to FIP
Later on in May I suspected something was up with the last brother, Heathcliff
Vet looked him over and said, fever, and feels like fluids :disappointed: I started him on prednison and he got...
