Thanks for all your good wishes. Basil is back home. He's now on so many pills and potions I suspect he'll rattle if I lift him up. We are also all on litter tray monitoring duty (the things we do for these fluffies eh?).

Healing purrs to Basil from all my Mog's. I see TC is offering his nursing services.

Look at little Nurse TC!

Bless Basil for his forbearance in his time of trial. Hope he feels a bit better by the morning. Hope you can still afford human food, Grumpy.

Is that HAM!?

Queen I absolutely love that photo of Paws 😻

cricketmum84 · 24/06/2021 08:22

Hope Basil is doing ok this morning?

The girls are behaving this morning. They even sat and ate their breakfast together even though they have their own bowls in separate rooms 🥰

I have to give Basil 3 oral syringes and three pills twice a day.
He's very grumpy about it and is desperate to go outside.

He is still struggling a bit (only passing small quantities of urine at one go) but the vet doesn't seem too worried at present.

My friends cat has brought a feral kitten home Blush
Woke her up at 4am yelling with a hissing ball of fluff. No sign of mum or other kittens

AlfonsoTheMango · 24/06/2021 09:48

Ah, furry feline overlords.

Pee, Basil, darn it!

Love the photos of kitties having snacks.

Supersimkin2 · 24/06/2021 10:01

I want to be your friend too Queen.

Twice a day Grumpy? Twice?! May the saint of cats and specially the saint of battle wounds be with you.

PawsQueen · 24/06/2021 11:57

Just found Ollie holding up his paw at the neighbour like he's injured while she feeds him dreamies. Spoiler - he's not injured as he trotted off on all 4 paws Blush

cricketmum84 · 24/06/2021 12:14

Oh Ollie 😂😂 you clever little thing 🥰

YetAnotherSpartacus · 24/06/2021 12:46

What’s actually wrong with Basil? Is it cystitis?

Fluffycloudland77 · 24/06/2021 13:10

He’s blocked, clinical emergency stuff,

YetAnotherSpartacus · 24/06/2021 13:48

I did get that - but I don't quite get why he keeps 'blocking' after surgery?

41sunnydays · 24/06/2021 14:08

Just seen this thread. Three weeks ago two little kittens joined our family. We are totally on love and even if they keep me up by pouncing all over the bed at night and nibbling our toes.

We can't believe how much they have grown in three weeks. I think they might of been over 12 weeks when we collected them.

41sunnydays · 24/06/2021 14:12

Sorry photos attached

Wow 41, what beauties! I have two black cats as well!

Supersimkin2 · 24/06/2021 15:35

How utterly adorable are you two. The little velvet smiles...

Fluffycloudland77 · 24/06/2021 15:40

It can come back @YetAnotherSpartacus, they usually need special diets after to stop crystals forming again if it recurs.

I’m deducting one point off Basils score card because he didn’t save it for a bank holiday, which is the traditional time for cats to get poorly.

Lovely kittens @41sunnydays. They are little eating machines at this age.

AlfonsoTheMango · 24/06/2021 16:11

Poor Basil and his ouchy.

Paws is no fool.

Those kittens are soooo cute.

Grumpyoldpersonwithcats · 24/06/2021 16:29

@Fluffycloudland77
You are bang on - are you my vet? Grin.
Basil had a blocked urethra suspected to be caused by Feline Interstitial cystitis.
The blockage was cleared (vet hospital) but he's on a million meds for the cystitis. He's clearly not quite right yet.

Grumpyoldpersonwithcats · 24/06/2021 16:30

And very impressed by the cute black kittens. Can you tell them apart?

YesItsMeIDontCare · 24/06/2021 17:03

Mini House Panfas @41sunnydays!

Do you tie different coloured bows to their tails so you can tell them apart? What are their names?
