    We lost our 5 year old Turkish Van named Taffy to a blood clot. It was sudden and very distressing. Taffy was regularly checked at the vets so we were happy knowing that he was a fit young cat. Full of energy and always supprising us with his antics. From biting my partner toes gentley to...

    1.5 yr old Maine coon owner

    We did own a Turkish Van but sadly had to put him to sleep, as he had a blood clott which paralized his back legs. After 5 days of giving him medication to try and disolve the clott we had to put him down as his back legs were getting no blood supply and were in danger of getting gangreen. It...

    1.5 yr old Maine coon owner

    Yes I agree, this was my argument with him. but he winzed and said he didnt like the idea of his manhood being taken away. I said it can also help with his development and in some cases cats have grown bigger as the hormones go else where. he just frowned and said we will see. lol

    1.5 yr old Maine coon owner

    Thank you for your help on this, We will be getting him neutered and perhaps sooner than later might be a good idea. My partner doesnt agree so I will try and see if I can talk him around, Must be a male thing lol

    We will eventually but want him to get use to us before we scare him further with a visit to the vet again.

    1.5 yr old Maine coon owner

    he has been vet checked and all is ok. He hasnt been neutered. We were told that the spray could be because he is adding his sent because of the yorkies to mark his territory. Which would make sense also cats do this when they are stressed.
