Sunday Snuggles

[RoastChickenDinner]

PreciousPussGirl has decided she likes to be held while sitting on your knee. I am loving this turn of events.

Currently enjoying Sunday Snuggles

Yep, Sunday Snuggles here too.

She's not happy though as she has a fractured pelvis. So she is literally on 'bed rest'.

No catching bunnies or mice for a while and she's hating it

[RoastChickenDinner]

Poor baby!

[cozietoesie]

Sunday afternoon snooze with a cuddlesome cat - there's very little to beat it.

[Maudlinmaud]

Lord of the manor is in his favourite spot, we are all poorly today so cuddles are very welcome.

[cozietoesie]

I just have to say 'Snooze' to my boys and they're heading up the stairs. (That's if they're not already in bed, waiting impatiently. )

[Maudlinmaud]

Thats unreal cozie!
I like to think mine can understand me too, they definitley know the word dreamies.
I love cats

[PosiePootlePerkins]

Mine has taken rather a liking to eldest DS bed!

[cozietoesie]

Siamese. Large vocabulary.

They don't necessarily watch you quite as intently as a dog (we have collies from working stock) because they're a bit too self-centred - but they do understand things.

[Maudlinmaud]

That boy of mine is almost 14 and comes on walks with me and the dog. This will out me but he waits outside the local shop for me when I go in. He is bloody brillant.

[cozietoesie]

Hah! The Lodger used to come into local small shops when I was there. We used to sneak out of the house - but it never seemed to work.

Fatty asleep on MY favourite cushion and Snorgmaiden asleep and snoring in her new bed! Fatty is taking up 3/4 of the sofa!

[Maudlinmaud]

Oooh I like your cat basket.

[Fluffycloudland77]

We had milk paddling on my chest this morning under the covers. It really hurt but he's not well so I took the pain.

No How did your poor girl fracture her pelvis?

[Toddlerteaplease]

Maud, only got it yesterday from a cat show. Her sister has also taken a shine to it, which is unusual for her as she likes her/ my green cushion. She now has a custom made cushion on order. And I am now broke! It's from a company called Lazy Days pet beds.

[NoIsAnAnswer]

We don't know fluffy. She goes in farmers fields with horses most of the time so we have no idea how she's done it. I'd have though a horse kick would be fatal for her but we just don't know what's happened.

She's still in the same position as 24 hours ago at the bottom of my bed!

[cozietoesie]

Have you tried lifting her out and taking her to her tray/feeding station? She might be getting a wee bit desperate by now if she hasn't moved so far.

[NoIsAnAnswer]

Yes I carry her to the litter tray and food / water bowl every few hours. Then I carry her back to bed where she stays .

Think she's just feeling very sorry for herself. She won't play with anything but will happily sit there and be brushed and cuddled. She's just a sad puss at the mo.

[cozietoesie]

Poor lass.

Is she on pain meds for her fracture?

[NoIsAnAnswer]

She is. But it's only a once a day dose so it doesn't seem a lot / enough to me. The fracture went through a joint so vet said said she'd get arthritis when she's older which is sad. But she's only 2 so I'm hoping she heals quickly and gets back out there.

[cozietoesie]

Odds are that she'd develop arthritis anyway if she reached an appropriate age - a huge majority of cats do to one degree or the other. (My own boy has severe arthritis now but then he's most elderly.)

You could always give the vet a buzz and have a quick word about her meds. Maybe they're not happy to supplement them for a short period - but maybe they are. The only other thing I can suggest is to give her a good heat source to comfort her towards sleep.I'd switch on the electric blanket in the day - if you have one - or consider a snuggled up hottie. She's a young cat so recovery shouldn't be too long.

[Toddlerteaplease]

We had a cat that had a fractured pelvis as a youngster and had it played she died aged 18 and never had arthritis. So fingers crossed.

[NoIsAnAnswer]

Thank you toddler. We hope so too!

[NoIsAnAnswer]

The vet said we could split the dose cozie so we'll give one in the morning and one at night. Thanks for the suggestion!
