What I'm going to do though is get her a kitten and put it in a fancy box so she can open it for her birthday. Her birthday is two days after Christmas so it will be a nice surprise for her 30th. Please don't put a cat in a box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maqroll Posted October 25, 2017 Share Posted October 25, 2017 (edited) I love dogs, I've had two in my lifetime. Incredible creatures, of course. But I have to admit, cat behavior is much more interesting to me. It is endlessly fascinating. Edited October 25, 2017 by maqroll 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post knoppy1987 Posted November 9, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted November 9, 2017 Seen a dead cat on the road during my walk tonight that had been run over. Did not like it at all . Black cat and it had a precautionary reflective collar on as well. Phoned the owner who was distraught. **** miserable. 1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Freddie has obviously found a nest, must be due to the warm weather. Had two live ones and three dead ones in the last 7 days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
il_serpente Posted November 10, 2017 VT Supporter Share Posted November 10, 2017 Othello keeps bringing back rats and mice and prefers to decapitate or disembowel them on the welcome mat. We need to switch to rubber ones that will clean more easily. Gilbert, on the other hand, proudly brought home a strip of plastic the other day... 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers fellars - not a great job but one that has to be done, likewise getting the cat out of road. On a far brighter note, my cat decided to smash everything made of glass during the night. Tail wagging and the domino effect. I just have to laugh really . 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maqroll Posted November 27, 2017 Share Posted November 27, 2017 Oscar was either hit by a car or kicked really hard. He came home and went right under the sofa, panting with his tongue out. Took him to the animal hospital, x-rays showed two broken ribs and a hemorrhaged intestinal wall. Poor guy. He's home now, stitched up but not eating. I just spent $3400. The alternative was having him put down. Couldn't do it. I'm not going to let either cat outside now. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the problem with pets. It can really cost you, big time. My favourite cat got hit by a car, broke his leg in five places. The vet put him back together. I can't remember now what the bill was (this was over 20 years ago), but it sure wasn't cheap. Get well soon, Oscar. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post maqroll Posted November 28, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted November 28, 2017 (edited) Oscar update: He still wasn't eating food earlier ( no food in last 48 hours). I dosed him up with liquid kitty morphine and went out for a slice. When I got back, the tuna I left for him was gone. The wet and dry cat food wasn't touched. He's on his side now in a relaxed position. I've set him up deluxe- I've got a "Bach guitar" playlist on for him by candlelight. He's in a closed bathroom so Reggie doesn't try to pounce on him. (They play fight). So, I'm feeling like he's gonna be alright. (Doc said there's a 20% chance he could still die). So, come on, Oscar!

Popular Post maqroll Posted November 28, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted November 28, 2017 Bach, morphine and tuna seem to be a winning formula. He's now eating dry treats and walked over to me purring, and then he landed a bunt. Great signs, just have to hope for no infections. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
