 I understand you did not create this situation and had only recently adopted the pair, and it was not great that you were not given all the right information about the cats.  Although, to give the benefit of the doubt, I've heard of spayings going wrong in the past and needing to be done a 2nd...

None of what you describe is unusual or erratic behavior for an unspayed cat. I would recommend spaying her as soon as possible.  the longer a behavior goes on the harder it is to stop. I would tend to think that most of it will disappear once she is spayed. If you need any other reasons...

There is a gel called Nutri-cal which is a high-calorie supplement for cats.  You just have to stick a glob on his tongue or on his foot (so he'll lick it off).  It's specifically made for this purpose.  Search on google, you can buy it online all over the place.  You can find the KMR online as...

You don't have a cat carrier?  Not a bad idea to keep one in the house in case you need to keep her confined or take her somewhere.  You can find soft-sided ones that fold up flat and take up no room that are fairly inexpensive, something like this ...

The canned food might be too hard on his stomach right now.  Meat baby food (chicken) or put some plain cooked chicken and a little cooked rice in a blender with some water to make a liquid you can force feed him.

Kittens come out of these things much quicker than adult cats usually do, and can be a real pain. LOL If you think she is really in danger of opening her stitches, keep her in her carrier (or even better, a cage or crate if you have one), and let her out to use the litterbox.  After another...

You really do need to see a vet, especially if he hasn't eaten in two days. He could get very dehydrated and that is very dangerous for cats. You don't know if it obstruction yet or not. In the worst case scenario there are places you can apply to for help in emergency vet situations.  Try...

Just FYI, in case you are interested ... Here are some articles. First talks about topical, the 2nd, oral. (and they both give excellent info on herpes in cats in general). http://www.acvo.org/new/public/common_diseases/herpes.shtml http://www.askthecatdoctor.com/felineherpes.html The vet...

The best combination of medications I've tried and had reasonable success with was famciclovir along with lysine daily and interferon used both orally and as eye drops. Needs to be continued for at least 3 weeks (not 2). Many say interferon doesn't work, but there are vets who use it for viral...

Check with local rescues, tnr groups and shelters to see if you can borrow or rent a humane trap.  Where I live, the SPCA will lend them out with a $50 deposit which is returned in full once you return the trap.  Have them show you how to set it, and how to safely let an animal go. Then get...

It's very possible that at one time Boo might have had an eye infection that scarred over once it healed, which is usually referred to in my experience as having a cloudy eye.  The infection is gone, his sight is fine, he just has a cloudy eye and it is like having a scar. However, unless it is...

Here's my Rocky, a picture I think should be filed under the hilarious part ... 

Fingers crossed, they should, and Congrats!!!

Okay, Ocelot, sounds like things are going smoothly!  Good going!  One of those sites I linked suggested how long to wait before removing the umbilical cord yourself, but for now, give Mom some time. Whats happening now?

I'm going to start a new thread instead of having to go through all these posts.  Easier and quicker.
