My darling boy Pippin passed away yesterday. He was a beautiful silver tabby with golden eyes. His fur was soft and downy. He was tall and athletic and had a huge personality. He loved jumping to the top of the bathroom door and looking down at me when I was showering. He would race me upstairs...

Pippin passed away on the operating table. The vet said he was in kidney failure and his scarring was extremely severe. The extent of the damage explains a lot of his problems healing. He arrested during surgery. I miss you baby boy. I'll see you at Rainbow Bridge.

Hey all! I haven't posted in a while. Pippin had a PU surgery a couple of months ago and has been doing ok. He has had issues with UTIs which I was told might be an issue, so there's been periods of antibiotics (Zeniquin), litter box straining, inappropriate urination (he's nice though and...

Has anyone heard about this yet? I just got the msg in my FLUTD group through yahoo. http://www.pittsburghlive.com/x/pitt.../s_510984.html Devlyn

I just wanted to let everyone know that Pippin is doing great! His incision is healing so well and has lots of energy. He and Simple were playing really rough earlier and it's nice to see him back to his old self. I've been feeding nutro dry for UT health and wellness wet with some meow mix...

Pippin had his PU surgery on Tuesday and I got to see him today. The vet says he's doing much better and even the Kennel Guy said that his attitude is much better. I suspect it's the valium and other pain killer he's on. We had a nice visit for about 20 minutes and I washed his face for him...

Hi all! I know some of you have read my posts about Pippin and his crystal issues. Well he finally blocked up on Friday and I had to take him to the vet again. He's in the hospital for the weekend and then he'll be getting a PU done on Tuesday when the specialist comes in. I'm so worried about...

I blame myself for thinking about Smeagol and bottle babies and how I could probably foster some again. My friend Jane just called with news of two kittens that were apparently abandoned. She was sketchy on the details but the mom has been gone all day and the little ones are crying. I don't...

So on Monday Pippin started feeling like crap again. He would cry when I picked him up, he was hunched over looking like he was trying to pee, was walking with obvious pain, started hiding, etc, so I took him into the vet. He had a "turgid" bladder and the vet and tech basically "expressed"...

Last night my roommate's cat, Denebah, was sleeping in his open window. The heavy wooden frame apparently came down on her paw and trapped it. We woke up to her screaming and hissing and peeing and trying to get away. She did pull it free before we could help her and ran downstairs. When we...

Oy I'm back with Pippin and his problems. We had a good 6 months of good health and now he has a new issue. Yesterday morning my roommate woke me up telling me that Pippin was hunched over and straining and he was trickling pee on the carpet. I got up to check on him and he was still hunched...

My roommate's cat, Denebah, has been bleeding from her vagina. We just noticed this about an hour ago. She is unspayed and was in heat about 2 weeks ago. I have 3 male cats, all neutered, although Pippin displayed mating behavior (trying to hump, biting her neck, etc.) I have repeatedly told...

Hi all! A happy and sad day is upon us. Smeagol will be 6 weeks old on Wednesday and I'm sending him off to his new home. I had to stipulate that he would not be declawed without them giving me a chance to take him back, but other than that, I think his new home will be amazing! I'm going to...

After much discussion and thinking, I've decided that the best thing I can do for Sparkle Boo is to re-home her with my ex. He and I are best of friends and he's willing to take her. Sparkle has had a hard time adjusting to my home because Simple and Pippin are constantly attacking her. I am...

I was busy taking more pictures of the wee baby Smeagol, now almost 5 weeks old, in all his cuteness. See them at: http://picasaweb.google.com/oddbodkinrenshop/Smeagol

Sweet Smeagol just had his 4 week birthday on Wednesday and is doing amazing. He's giving me much more time to sleep and I've been letting him socialize more with the other cats. He just had his first canned kitten food meal. I'd been worried that he wasn't taking to eating any of the food I put...

Pippin has been acting funky since yesterday. He's moving very slowly like he is in pain. His ears feel very warm. I don't think this is constipation again because he pooped last night. I think there IS something wrong digestive wise because he's been wandering from box to box and even squatting...

I rescued a 1 week old boy while working at the renaissance festival this past weekend. Things started out a little rough, but he's starting to fuzz out nicely now. I believe he was born around September 27th. And now for his baby pics! http://picasaweb.google.com/oddbodkinrenshop/Smeagol

Hi all! I have 4 full grown cats and was just given a week old kitten to look after while working at the Renaissance Festival today. I have never hand reared a kitten and don't really have a clue. I think one of my cats would play uncle, but I don't know how safe it is to intro them right away...

Pippin hasn't been exactly himself for the past couple of days.Today he started making more and more frequent trips to the litter box, straining, then moving on in frustration. He is still passing a little fluid but I think he's got some crystalizations or a blockage. I'm taking him to the vet...
