What's your DCat up to today? (Thread 7!)

[caoraich]

I wanted to reply to @EachandEveryone but thread number 6 is full! That cooling mat thing looks fab.

What is everyone's cat up to today?

Today I am 26 weeks pregnant and my cat Freya is communing with the baby. Mainly purring and gentle pawing in response to little kicks. I am hoping they'll be friends! Meanwhile Maisie is looking on disdainfully. She's in the huff because I tipped her out of the pregnancy dungarees, which she had commandeered as her personal nest.

What are your furry overlords all up to?

Not sure if I can visit as this vet is hands off no one can go in, though will ask to confirm. I was only in the queue outside for 5 minutes and when I went to the car he'd done his hiding under blankie

I know cats don't always show pain and He hasn't really. Though I noticed in the night he wasn't curled up like he does usually and IH said he flinched when he touched his tummy putting him in the basket.

Vet did say blood tests show he's had problems for a while but he didn't show any signs. They didn't have to catheterise as he peed but may still have too

Thanks for the thoughts

Oh good luck Ernie and you his devoted slave Oldraver.

Get well soon Ernie! Given the lack of a Dreamie emoji, I thought about using the biscuit emoji as a substitute but it might be misinterpreted.

Well vet says he's sitting up, eating and has I quote......been friendlier

How's Ernie today?

Posted on here a few threads ago about my cat. He is 3 years old and has recently started dribbling a bit when I stroke him or he has his evening cuddles Is this normal or should I get his teeth checked?

A starling fell down the chimney - apart from soot on my ceilings and wall, this is what I first saw this morning

That is the funniest photo Ilovellamasandpenguins. I hope it's not going to take ages to clear up.

Alakazam8 I don't know enough to offer any advice but I know there are lots of posters who will know if you start a separate new thread.

Thanks Nettie

Alakazama8 - if your cat only dribbles when he has cuddles it’s probably a sign that he is very happy - is he purring at the same time. One of my cats does this and purrs so loudly I take it as a sign of utter pleasure. If he is eating fine, then I wouldn’t have thought it was his teeth.

Yes it’s when he is purring most loudly too. That’s great then and he’s certainly eating fine. That’s reassuring- knew someone would be able to help. Thanks so much

@Alakazam8 I’d get his teeth checked anyway, they are good at hiding pain.

@Ilove I’d flannel him off, soots quite toxic.

Thanks Fluffycloud - I just reread my post and i have put ‘this morning’ rather than ‘the morning’ - this happened a couple of weeks ago, sorry for misleading. I didn’t know soot was toxic, I did douse him with water (not happy).

@Oldraver hope Ernie is doing ok?

Thought I'd post a picture of Lenny from this morning (I don't post pics of Lenny very often - he's not very photogenic 🙀)

Well good and bad news on Ernie

He is on a drip to push fluids through and he is peeing on his own and has started to eat. Vet said he clears his bowl last night and ate this morning so he is feeling better in himself

His x-ray showed an enlarged kidney which could be caused by backflow, but his blood results aren't coming down as much as they'd like, so they think he may of had problems before. He's having more blood tests tomorrow and we'll see where we go from there

Vet today said he may be in over the weekend.

But yes cats hide stuff well. I have a video from Monday if his chasing and playing with Dexter

DS's cat got chopped yesterday, vet relented as he was scaling the fence. DS also asked about getting his chip registered to him. He had the number in his passport but no details of the company

Poor Ernie, he’s been keeping his cards close to his chest hasn’t he?.

Would it be easier for your ds to have the cat chipped again?. You can notes on the chip details to specify why there’s two chips.

Yes I told DS it probably would of been easier to get him rechipped. It would of been better to of done it while he was under but the cat is god damn chilled I reckon the vet could do it anyway.

There is the complication that he could of been chipped in Lithuania (where is owners are from)

My cat woke me up at 1am miaowing and dropping a dead bird on the floor of my bedroom. I let her eat it for 5 minutes then binned the rest and cleaned the floor and went back to sleep.

She's semi-long furred and sweet as sugar but jumped up on the bed with pinkish neck fur from the blood! Sigh.

Poor Ernie, Oldraver. Hoping that now he's being investigated, they will come up with a treatment plan.

Another snooze. His life is exhausting.

Hope Ernie gets better very soon

Daphne is pleased Ive decided to cheer myself up

Love to Ernie❤

Here's my Foxy at 5 am this morning on my bed.

I had no idea he slept spreadeagled like that!

EachandEveryone The way I would rationalise it to say that Daphne needed a new box so you were compelled to buy some shoes in order to get a box.

Sapphire is going to the vet as was sick Thursday and today so feeling very poorly bless her. Still only a kitten as 7 months old. Other 2 are asleep on my bed and one on dd bed

This is sapphire

@spirit she's beautiful
