Think there is a problem with her right eye. (Not the one she punctured a few years ago. It's been funky fir a while. (Not unusual) but now she really doesn't like it being cleaned at all. Back to the vet tomorrow. Sod's Law being what it is. Cheddar is having a scale at polish at my parents vet 25 miles away tomorrow!

No you will not be popular tomorrow morning.

Cheddar is back, and sporting a bright pink bandage. Currently stuffing her face.

No Snorg, pizza is not for you. Normal service appears to be resumed!

From watching her wash her face, I suspect she's caught her eye with a claw.

Well it’s easily done. Will she let you trim them?

She does occasionally, but her feet are so floofy, it's really difficult to find them! The groomer does them when she goes for a trim. She's got very thick hard claws.

Aw poor puss and poor you.

My aunt, in Australia had a cat that would hunt possums. He lost an eye to one and the vet suggested it might help because with only one eye his depth perception would not be so good.

Nope, still caught possums.

Pink??? On an orange cat? We aren't in the 1960's still!

@Allergictoironing Maia once had one with tractors on it!

Tractors are fine, and I've used paw print & animal pattern ones on myself as buying for pets can be cheaper than for humans with VetWrap.

I'm just thinking of how clashing it must be, your poor eyes!

Icequeen01 · 14/02/2023 07:25

Oh no! Im so very sorry to hear this. Wishing her a speedy recovery.

@Allergictoironing I quite liked the colour combination.
Snorg has been deposited at the vet. She slept on my bed last night. So obviously happier.
I've noticed that she now has a habit of doing a protest poo, while on the table or at the groomer. She's definitely getting better at Catting.

Resisting the temptation to phone the vets as they said it would be done around 11-12. But they were busy and would to the elective cases first. Hopefully they've topped up her pain killers. I did ask them too.

They just rang. All well and picking her up
At 4.30. They said she's not really doing much, I said that is completely normal behaviour for her! Phew!

They have suggested putting cold compresses on the area to help seal of the blood vessels. That might be a challenge!

OP posts:
Wolfiefan · 14/02/2023 16:54

Eek. Are they volunteering to try and do that for you??

FormerlyPathologicallyHappy · 14/02/2023 17:11

At least she’s awake. Best of luck applying cold compresses to a cat.

She's a bit groggy and not looking her prettiest. I've taken the cone off as it was huge. And I think she'll be ok without it. I've got a buster collar just incase. She's eaten and is just pottering around now. Think she's a bit discombobulated.

Snorg will be the death of me!

She's let me brush her. Trying to get her to go back to sleep.
