My Dad, who lives an hour from me, has been taking care of a local stray cat for some years. He's about 10 years old and has already had a slew of problems. Just a few months ago he had two enormous, ruptured, basal cell tumors removed from his sides. He had some blunt trauma to his head when he...
O_O eep!
Well, I figure that if nothing else good comes out of this, my house is going to cleaner than it ever has before, and it'll be good practice for when I have kids.
I would have loved to see that x-ray.
oh no, he's still a financial parasite. I'm just a simple gullible human and he knows that he will always win. Besides, he brainwashed me with his purring.
Long time no see, so since my cat decided to cost me $702.00 today, I thought I should share.
My kitten, Burdock, the former cryptorchid, is officially an honorary laborador retriever. He eats anything and everything, and I thought I'd been good about keeping non-edibles out of the way. But no...
I very much have them separated. I was hoping to be able to introduce them to each other, working up through more time together... 5 minutes, ten minutes, a half-hour, etc... but within seconds he'll attack her. He also did that with one of the hospital blood donor cats... took one look and...
I'm starting to seriously wonder actually if it's because he's being kept indoors. With his previous family, he would only come in for visits because he would spray. He pretty much *lived* outside, was a hunter, and doubtless king of his area as he is a superb fighter. Not a visible scar on him...
I'm starting to worry that I will be unable to keep Mallorn. I've had him for a month and a half now, and have been doing all the suggested methods for introductions. Today was my second attempt at them meeting face to face... I had fancy feast on separate plates like before and the plates about...
He does it when he's awake as well, though he did it for about 10 minutes straight before I posted. It's very much a congested sort of gurgle, yet the vet heard nothing wrong with his lungs, and his x-rays were clear.
The only things we've discovered are that not as much air is coming out his...
The kitten, Burdock, has very few issues with the harness. Mostly a case of acting like his entire hind end is useless every now and then.
Mallorn on the other hand started growling at me the moment I went to do the chest strap. He was having nothing of it, and I'm going to respect that.... I...
Mallorn is trying to make me broke, I swear. He's now taken up, at random times, making a horrible bubbling/gurgling psuedo-purr as if the dry heaves weren't enough. Is this progressing asthma? Allergies? Should I get him scoped to see if he has a growing polyp?
I'm definitely taking him into...
My kitten is... a little weird in all areas. He gained two lbs in one month, only lost his bottom baby canine teeth a week ago (still has the top baby canines), is 5 months old... and is a cryptorchid. In fact, we thought he was neutered when we first found him, because there was nothing there...
