need suggestions till Monday

Jenn,

I'm so glad that Toe pooped, that has to be a good sign.
Still keeping him, you and Juan in my thoughts and prayers.
I'll say a special one for him on Monday so that everything goes well.

I'll bet he'll be as happy to see his Daddy as Juan will be to see him.

I'm so happy Charlie is getting along so well...it's almost like he's always been part of the family.

sending Toe Man peeing vibes.

Toe was extremely glad to see his daddy..... Juan said he meowed and meowed to him. Juan said he looked good. He has lost weight in the last few days but since he is eating good again, it will pick up. I will call the vet again in the morning to check on him after he makes rounds.. Probably 10ish.. I am praying for urine as well...... If he can urinate, he will be able to come home...

And I am posting a new pic of charlie in just a moment. You're right ...it is though he were always here.. He absolutely fits in....

Also, the support shown here for Toe....... I absolutely appreciate it... It means a lot... I don't even know how to tell you how much it means.....

I dont do this very often but PLEASE PEEE PEEE

Instead of a poopy dance, we are doing a pee-pee dance.

You betcha, I will help you

We all have high hopes for Little Toe Man!!!!! He sounds like a strong cat with a lot of fight left in him! Best wishes for Monday!

Just joining the pee pee dance.

Every little bit helps!

Come on Toe Man...
pee so you can go home.

I just found this thread, and I'm sending love to the Toemeister as well, bless his furry little heart.

A few years ago, my father had bladder cancer surgery, and he had a catheter, too... so I'm well-versed in this dance! And-a-one, and-a-two...

Come on Toe, peepee for you mama, we are all doing the peepee dance for you.

I just talked to the vet and Toe is the same as yesterday. He still has a few drops of blood but they said it was still due to the inflammation and crystals. He pooped..... Monday is still "cath day".......

I have all the cats wormed now.. except for Star, Jimmy and Festus. Festus won't be any trouble. Jimmy is going to eat his in food.

Star kitty.......She watched me worm the last two. So she is on alert. She hates anything new. The last time she saw me frontline the animals she went outside and I could not get her to come in the house for a month to 6 weeks. She stayed on the porch and under the porch. I finally tricked her with soft kitty food, snagged her up and put her in the house. It took a week to get her to trust me again to get close enough to her with the soft food. What was weird she did not see anything tramatic.....Just frontline. She was determined not to be frontlined. At least she can't get away from me here. She is either in the house or the enclosure. After I have her in my hands, she is calm but.......like I said she is on alert right now.... High alert...... red zone alert.... hehe

She is too smart for her own good...

The cats have to keep you on your toes, right?

Continueing {{{get well soon}}} vibes for Toe man!

I got Festus done.. Shot and worm.. Piece of cake. The only ones left are my challenge cats. Star and Jimmy.....

Star made a liar out of me. I keep the crate I was talking about putting Toe in to feed him in the kitchen. Star went in there so I shut the door and got her worm meds ready. I reached in gently, got her by the scrugg and she scratched the hell out of me. It was the same way with the frontline.......at first...

So she is hiding. I have her "worm/soft food" ready so when she calms down I will feed it to her. Right now I can't find her. I searched the enclosure and she is in the house somewehre. But she has a good hiding place.

Jimmy will be a breeze to feed soft food to. He loves soft food. When he goes under the dresser I just secretly slide him a bowl under the dresser and he gobbles it down.

But I am going to do this tomorrow. Star feels traumatized since I had her firmly by the scruff.... And it is possible she might hide for days.....

ON my toes?........oh yeah..

the toe man has always been so easy to handle.... But then he was a social kitty when he was infantile....

And you know lthe mistake was mine... I never should have let her see me medicate the other cats. She can tell they don't like it so she is ready in advance... I must always remember to approach her in the same way all the time. Gently while she is on back of the couch and with the brush in my hand. She loves a good brushing. She will always be wild, but she still enjoys living here and enjoys human contact. I must always remember what her limits of physical touch are.... It is a rare thing to feel her tiny little purr and that is a precious thing... I work hard for that little purr and it always touches me when she meows at me in her tiny little high pitched kitty voice.. I absolutely hate it when she feel afraid of me. I am the one who would never hurt her but she is still fearful. It has been nearly 3 years. And she still hides from me if her routine is disrupted. She absolutely hates change of any kind. She works a routine and does it well. Deviation freaks her out. But I guess that is the feral way. I still have to give her shots and I still have to worm her and then she has a whole year to relax except for frontline... The bottom line with ferals is this. They remember anything that has ever caused them stress or fear and they live to NOT have that occur again and they have memories like a steel trap. They struggle internally with fear all the time. They are always on the lookout. That is why a routine is essential for ferals for any hope of success with them. The shots and the worm meds are out of her ordinary world of a day to day basis and so she is very very afraid. Even though she lives with me and trusts me, the fear takes over again. But I will always try again. With more patience and in a different manner. One she is used to. It is hard to be smarter than a feral cat.

You are doing a wonderful job taking care of all your babies Jenn.

I think that cats can read our minds.

congrats! I'll be keeping the vibes coming.

I just woke up......... Toe kitty is on my mind.. and Star is already back to normal......
