My poor boy

[mrsjrob]

My 13 month old tabby fell into a container of diesel, he's become really ill and my husband has took him to emergency vet. Does anybody know if he is likely to recover from this? We would be heartbroken to lose him

Thats amazing news, am thrilled for you all!

Oh, i think i might have something in my eye So so pleased he didn't need pts after all :)

He doesn't look as bad in the photo as I was expecting - although he doesn't look thrilled about the collar. But he's not a tabby Mrsrob - he's a white and ginger - although really who cares? He's alive and going to get better!!

Oh I can't see the pic on my phone. I'm still chuffed to bits about this!!

Fantastic news!!

Oh oh oh.... this has made me so happy. I am utterly delighted for you. Please rename him Lazarus! (not really of course, he is Whitey!)

Sending him lots of get well soon vibes.

That's such a relief, you must be so happy.

I read this at work earlier I cried in the car but couldn't post.

I am delighted for you all.

I think he has a lot of people sending out get well Whitey vibes!

Yay!! So pleased for you

Oh my - what a relief! Just read from my last post and couldn't believe he was going to be pts. Having suddenly lost my young boy in April really was so sad for you but fast forward to your brilliant post mrsjrob I'm so pleased!! Awful you had a tortured night but wonderful news this morning. Can't see your pic on my phone so will have to look another time

Really pleased to see your update mrsjrob

Go Whitey!

mrsjrob such great news.

Have just checked back in on your thread and am delighted it's relatively good news for Whitey!

Superb, just superb he's on the mend.

I hope someone slams your twunt of a neighbour's testicles in a door. He deserves it and then some. Please do report him, but maybe once you've moved.

Just looked at your pic and he's beautiful. Sending healing vibes.

May possibly have just startled my cats by crying at the good news. Maybe.

Am so SO pleased Whitey didn't have to be PTS & hope he recovers well-and-quickly. He looks v dashing in that photo, despite being so poorly atm: like a skewbald cat

Can we pretend the is a cat-treat? Because I think Whitey deserves & you !

Thank you all he has managed to eat a tiny wee bit today I have been calling him a tabby because I thought that's what all cats who weren't a breed were called iykwim

Eating? Great news.

Aww I'm glad he's eaten something. I'm sure he doesn't care what you call him but, if you're interested, a non-pedigree cat is commonly of course 'a moggy' but correctly a 'domestic short hair' or 'domestic long hair'. Only vets use that terminology though really.

'Tabby' refers to the brown stripey cats, or ginger tabbies which are ginger but still with stripey marking.

So officially he is a DSH white/ginger. But of course really he's just a very beautiful and, as it has turned out, very lucky boy.

I would have put him as a ginger and white domestic short hair. Either way I'm just chuffed for you that he is recovering!

Cross-post Cybercat :)

Indeed! You were more eloquent though

OMG

Puss survived

Hurrah.

How is Whitey today?

He is so much better today, he has eaten loads and is managing to walk around the house.

We still can't pick him up but hopefully won't be long

Great news.
