My Animal Family

get a ferret and you will never want a cat again lol

Paul is 9 weeks tomorrow and...kitten jabs tomorrow begin at 10 minutes to six...poor little lad! Mummy taking him to vets and im sure he will sulk when we get back *rolls eyes*

at 8pm tonight we would have owned Paul for 1 whole week. and its all gone so well!

xxxxx

thats good to hear. cats and dogs always seem to hate you for a day after the vets, then the next day they act like it never happened!

When Eri got neutered they forgot to tell him that it's supposed to calm him down.

EXACTLY! i got my dog neutered because he kept mounting people's legs. now he doesent try to mount people, but he does it to other male dogs. is really embarassing. his favorite is a while alsation called larson.....

I kept finding dirt from the floor plants on the floor...this evening I found out why....Paul uses them to go to the loo in *rolls eyes*

Cats!

he loves his new toy! will post pics soon! he had fantastic fun!

xxxxxxx

i hope he's alright connie. if hes still running around playing it can't be too bad.

Ok. so today Kiki and Hobbes were collered for the first time in their life.
I decided that although they are chipped, since seeing a cat get hit by a car and us trying to tend to it, it had no coller or ID tag. So Hobbes and Kiki have now been collered and ID'ed.
Kiki is 100% fine with it...while Hobbes isnt impressed.
Kiki LOVES her pink and diamonte coller while Hobbes doesnt seem to like his blue and diamonte coller *laughs*
Shame, he looks so "pretty"

I will post pictures. he is STILL sulking and hiding away from us!

Paul has the "Squits" again. I dont know why. he keeps pooping liquid. I think we should only give him white fish for a few days which can also be given to the others...mainly Hobbes to make him feel better and to try to bring back his happiness with food!

shouldnt realy put a collar on a cat. if they get it caught on something or caught when (like one of ours did) jumping over a fence they can hang themselves (according to the vet), i dont personally think they would just sit there and do nothing about it, they would get off, but it means they could get hurt.

Hahaha the vet told you that!
omg!
If you have enough gap for 2-3 fingers under the coller the cat if caught can slip out, if its too tight thats when they get caught.

Kiki has 100% done nothing about the coller. she doesnt care and Paul doesnt care. Seriously. Its like they dont have it on, its just Hobbes who is sulking

It's always a good idea to collar a cat, especially if they have a tendency to wander about (as all cats do) -- you don't want anyone mistaking it for a stray, for example. Lori and I collar ours so we don't have any "stealth kitties" (they have bells).

Good for you, Connie! And tell Hobbes to get over it; Eri managed to after a few days. Of course, it was funny watching him try to get it off in the meantime.

Connie, what are you feeding Paul? We give ours mostly dry food with about 1/4 to 1/3 of a can of wet food each day, and they don't have any pooper problems. Has he been dewormed?

he has been dewormed. He has wet kitten food as well as a selection of dry kitten food *the adults LOVE it too*

I love that Paul has a bell on his coller. omg. he is sooo under your feet and easily trod on with the warning jingle jangle!!!

Hobbes still sulking. what a big baby!

Ours also have ID chips under the their SKIN when a cat gets hit by a car its easier to look at the ID on a coller then take to the vets to get the chip read

your reason for chipping is funny, personally i would say they are id chipped so if they get lost, they can be identified and sent back to you, instead of if they get hit by a car we will knw very pessimistic

Im just being frank about it because thats the idea of ID on their collers as well as having ID under their skin. If anything back happens you can be contacted.

xxxx

i know it just sounds pessimistic thats all lol

It is but its also realistic. I would want to know ASAP if something had happened to my babies.

Hobbes is ok and happy again now. took about 2 days and now he is fine

xxxx

if either of our kittens got run over, id run over the guy/girl that did it

And yet another reason for indoor kitties.

So...animal family update.
Paul has been scent marking and he is 17 weeks tomorrow. Might have to get him snipped before 6 months!!!

Hobbes is poorly. Super poorly but still "well"
Since last week not been keeping his food down. we been starving him but still he has had the runs or vomits.
Last night he pooped out grass and blood. not good. also vomited a load of grass.
He has the vets tomorrow...im so worries hes eaten something he shouldnt have!

poor Hobbes. what do you think is wrong with him?

Do you think he could stand to be an indoor-only kitty? Ours have been fairly healthy like that.

We got Eri nipped at 4 months and he never marked. Phyto's at the 4-month mark now and I'm probably going to haul her to the vet the first time I hear the Siamese in her come out.

awwwww he's a good looking kitty.

obviously he likes posing for the camera.
