Cat ate a mouse whole, seems to be feeling rough!

[tunnocksreturns2019]

DD saw our cat swallow a mouse whole this morning 🤢. He was seemingly fine all day and ate his dinner but now appears very uncomfortable - hissed at me, cries if I try to pick him up, seems to have tummy ache and is wobbly on his legs. I think it must be due to the mouse as he’s not injured. His breathing is fine. Kids worrying he won’t last the night but I think they are being dramatic. Thoughts? Apart from thoughts about him being a bad mouse-murderer which we have already had!

He’s doped to the eyeballs.

When my cat same home after surgery I made a little nest for her. Wasn’t interested.

She spent two hours staring at her water fountain. Then started slowing moving her paw in and out of the water.

High as a kite.

I had a very sick cat last year. They will sleep when they are ready. Look after yourself lovely xx

So good to see him back at home.
I bet he is watching dust motes and seeing pink elephants .
He will probably be stiff in the morning a d grouchy as he comes down of his high but I bet he is as right as rain soon.
I hope you manage to get a decent nights sleep. 🐹🐾🐾

Well this is a sad thread turned hilarious. Cats Domino made me weep with laughter, and now I've got images of all these stoned cats behaving weirdly...it's all a bit Red Dwarf.

Oh my god he’s a gorgeous ginger. He is my ideal cat.

Bless bet he will either be asleep or in a fowl mood and I think you will sleep like a baby tonight xx

So glad he’s doing better op, just keep swimming. x

I'm so glad he's home now! Best wishes to you and your family

Aw he is lovely

What a beautiful boy.
Glad to see he's back home with you where he belongs.

I hope he had a comfortable night. We just left our boy to it and he hid under beds for a few days before slowly coming back to normal. He freaked out when he first came home and his wee was a bit red from the bruising and he was quiet for a few weeks but I can see him trying to stalk a squirrel in the garden, albeit badly. It makes them more precious!

Hope he's ok this morning and you managed a good sleep

Oh he is just beautiful. Hope he had a comfortable night and is feeling more normal today.

Resting behind the sofa in the kids’ old ikea tunnel! He’s not had his metacam painkiller 😬 - he ate his dry food and left the wet. I need a new tactic I think. He’s limping rather but much more settled. Onward and upward I think.

Forgot the attachment!

Aw, he looks a bit more comfy there. Hope he recovers soon. And good luck with the Metacam...

Got the metacam in the corner of his mouth. I am pet-medicine-giving genius.

Oh he's so handsome 😻 sending healing kitty vibes your way.

@tunnocks just found and read your thread. Poor puss, poor you, what a lot you've had to deal with. Our poor puss was also hit by a car and somehow managed to scale a wall to get herself home. That was a few years ago and she's currently purring at my feet.

I think he has done you a huge favour, although a painful one, he's brought up and brought out a lot of emotion and pain you were holding in. Hopefully once his pain has subsided you will feel a bit more peace.

Wishing you, the kids and the cat well ❤❤❤

Oh Lord, tunnocks, I remember your threads from when your lovely DH died.

Here's my Alfie, helping me to do a jigsaw puzzle. He is sending your kitty love and well wishes from one 'ginge' to another.

❤️ lovely posts! He is now in a box nest

Note how his tail is quite like a red panda’s tail, which is another reason why I love him.

A bloke just came round to talk through some DIY and gardening jobs. I am trying not to do everything myself, all the time.

But maybe I should’ve cooked dinner instead of hiding in the pantry eating all the orange Smarties

Nah - I believe orange smarties are medicinal, fill your boots.

Your cat is a beaut.
