Keep your paws crossed that Penelope (also to be known as Pickle) will be right for Cheddar and arrive soon.
I'm a bit confused by her story, but she's an ex show cat. So hopefully will be healthy.
She's not yet in the rescue so we do t k ow her personality. But from what I've seen as show cats. They are pretty docile.

The rescue told me about her when O told them of Magic's death. And when I got to work that night. We had a patient called Penelope. So I take it as a sign!

I'm trying to speed it up a bit but the rescue is busy.

GREAT NEWS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ears are completely fine. And her teeth are also ok. No need for a dental as yet. And no sign of the reabsorption lesion that we first though she had. (May have been food). I definitely saw a manky mouth on that first appointment. But teeth are clean with just a bit of gingivitis. No need for a dental.
Still has a consistently high temperature but we are thinking that's just her normal, as she's not unwell at all.

Oh my gosh what brilliant news!!

Does that mean she doesn't have to play hide and seek with you and that pesky mite medication anymore? 😂

Toddlerteaplease · 05/10/2023 11:58

Yep! Just a week of metacam for her spay. That's all and I've sorted out money with the rescue and we are all good. My equilibrium is restored. Hopefully now she can properly settle as she's not gone longer than 4 days without an appointment.

Wonderful news :)

I'm so pleased.

I was genuinely really worried for a while.

Defiantlynot41 · 05/10/2023 12:05

So pleased to hear your latest update Toddler. Fingers crossed it's all good for you all from here onwards

Toddlerteaplease · 05/10/2023 12:22

@YetAnotherSpartacus yes. I was as well. I think she's a warm cat and appointments just make her a bit cross and it pushes her over the edge of normal limits.

That is the best news ❤️

Pixiedust1234 · 05/10/2023 12:32

To be fair to Penelope getting something shoved up my bum every 3-4 days would raise my temperature too.

(Yeah, yeah, shamelessly just posting hoping for another cute picture)

Excellent news about Penelope. It must be such a relief, Toddler.

Clarich007 · 05/10/2023 12:50

Oh that is wonderful news Toddler !!
So so pleased for you Cheddar and Penelope.
What a relief.Although I expect it was meant to be seeing as how you are so experienced with poorly cats.
Well done, you're a star.
Enjoy your lovely cats 😻

Toddlerteaplease · 05/10/2023 13:25

Here you go. I've moved her litter tray to its permanent position, so fingers crossed that will be ok.

Fantastic news!! Congratulations Penelope Pickle, you're now an official Toddler Towers cat 😺

Toddlerteaplease · 05/10/2023 13:27

She's celebrating by snoozing in the wardrobe and hissing at me every time I check on her. Can't say I blame her as every time I've evicted her, it's been for ear drops, metacam or a vet visit!

The second photo looks like she’s off on a sea adventure with the RNLI!

LostCats · 05/10/2023 13:34

Which I think would make Eko green with envy

Toddlerteaplease · 05/10/2023 13:40

@LostCats I know. It didn't stay on much longer as she got her foot stuck!

Just realised it's two months to the day since Magic died.

Miss my beautiful girl terribly. But I think she had sent me Penelope, just as Maia sent Cheddar.

That's hilarious! Walrus cat Grin Even better than Cheddar in a bikini

Grin
SequentialAnalyst · 06/10/2023 01:15

To use an ancient term: lol at walrus cat Grin

Allergictoironing · 06/10/2023 06:35

Barring the green additions from the sister, that's the most real live cat-like Pickle has looked (as opposed to a very cute realistic toy).

And thank you for that lovely picture of Magic. You will never NOT miss her, but the pain will get less sharp over time. I can still be brought to tears over certain things that remind me of Boycat and that's been 8 months now.
