Happy Bday from me and Capn @YesItsMeIDontCare. I didn't realise Harry Styles has, er, moved on from his Dunkirk days...

Papergirl1968 · 19/11/2020 23:23

Good luck at the vets, Just. Let us know what they say.

nettie434 · 19/11/2020 23:58

Just got one minute left to say happy birthday Yesitsmeidontcare

nettie434 · 20/11/2020 00:02

Sending best wishes to Darcy for a speedy recovery Just. Nemo has definitely mastered the art of posing.

YesItsMeIDontCare · 20/11/2020 01:00

Good luck Just, I really hope it's fixable.

Thank you for birthday wishes... I finally got my cuddle 🥰

How did it go, Just? How is Darcy now?

Justonedayatatime11 · 20/11/2020 23:14

She's home, for now at least. Her temp is up at 40.5 and that's after 5 days of antibiotics. Her back legs are wobbly, and her gum condition has deteriorated from 'mild' on Monday to 'moderate' today. She's back in on Monday for oral swabs and an abdomen ultrasound. She's noticeably skinnier around the face, and along her back, but she has a massive 'doughy' belly.
I hate this.
The poor girl has already been through so much in Feb this year when they diagnosed her as asthmatic, diabetic and suffering from hypokalemia. One of her litter mates died recently, no sign of illness, his owner came down and found him dead.
She still wants to eat (although only dry), drink, have a fuss. She's still using her litter tray and went into the garden this morning. I just don't know what to do for the best for her.

Papergirl1968 · 20/11/2020 23:36

Bless her, it must be so hard.
See how the weekend goes and hopefully on Monday she might be a bit better.
Can you tempt her with something nice, like chicken? At least she’s eating something though, and drinking, using the litter tray and going into the garden all sounds positive.
Is Queen around? Is Ollie’s Facebook page down? I can’t get on it, and I need my Ollie fix!

coastergirl · 21/11/2020 05:06

Oh just I'm so sorry you're going through this. Poor Darcy. I really hope things improve.

Queen has updated Ollie's Facebook page. He was on the window sill impersonating Paws 😂

coastergirl · 21/11/2020 05:32

Bertie has just farted next to me.

YetAnotherSpartacus · 21/11/2020 09:00

Is Ollie's FB locked down now?

I don't do FB and I can't access it, but I have in the past.

Papergirl1968 · 21/11/2020 10:32

I saw Ollie in the windowsill but now I’m getting this.

QueenPaws · 21/11/2020 11:37

I'm here, I'm here! I have deactivated my own FB briefly for mental health but it means ollies is down for now as I can't keep his page and not have FB apparently Hmm
Here is Ollie coming in backwards Confused "just like paws mama"

Allergictoironing · 21/11/2020 11:38

Same for me, I'm on Facebook and have Ollie's page bookmarked on my browser but it's telling me the same as Papergirl.

YesItsMeIDontCare · 21/11/2020 11:43

Hellooo Queen! I can totally relate to ditching Facebook for MH. I never went back!

Hope you're OK though - sending (((hugs))) and a nose boop • from Leroy.

How's Darcy today Just?

Papergirl1968 · 21/11/2020 11:55

Aww, Queen sorry to hear that you’ve been suffering. I thought it was just me doing something stupid which meant I couldn’t see the splendid Ollie and Paws!

QueenPaws · 21/11/2020 11:58

Just struggling a little with shielding for 9 months, not down so much as.. fed up with idiots Grin
Ollie is FUMING I had a lie in and says he can see his ribs

Allergictoironing · 21/11/2020 12:11

Oops sorry about XPost there!

I can understand about FB - I think I actually post about once a year to say I'm still alive, and have very limited friends (and no idiot friends thank goodness!)

Papergirl1968 · 21/11/2020 13:00

Yep, it’s been a shit year all around. Not really because of lockdown for me personally but in terms of family problems and being absolutely broke. I won’t be sorry to see the back of 2020.

nettie434 · 21/11/2020 13:37

It's been such a difficult year - hope you feel a bit stronger soon QueenPaws. That combination of family and money is really hard papergirl1968 - hope they improve. In the meantime, thanks to the posters and cats on this board - it's my best discovery this past year.

Supersimkin2 · 21/11/2020 14:04

Darling @QueenPaws you are in our hearts always regardless of when on our screens that's all I can say.

FB Is world's worst wind-up merchant. Especially when the charm-challenged are jealous of a beautiful, clever lady.

2020 comes a pretty close second, only a month to Christmas and then the lovely vaccine.

Me and Cap'n in bed, he's eating butter from my plate. Love to you all, sending vibes, come on, all we've got to do is survive these last few weeks.

Papergirl1968 · 21/11/2020 14:05

Thanks, Nettie. Yes, the kitties and their hoomans on here are lovely and supportive 😻

Toddlerteaplease · 21/11/2020 14:13

@QueenPaws I don't know how you've managed to shield for that long. I take my hat off to you. I decided shielding would be worse than getting Covid so didn't bother.

QueenPaws · 21/11/2020 14:20

This boy has helped a lot. He asks if you can see his ribs Hmm as he didn't get breakfast (he had a full bowl of dry food but that's for peasant cats like paws apparently)
