Well I just called the vets again and asked the receptionist to check with the vet about it as we don't want to jump the gun on X-rays.. She called me back, having managed to speak with the vet who we saw on Sunday, and says that it should be fine to give Skye another week of watching to see how...

Yeah, I remembered just after I posted that the vet had to check to see what meds would be safe to give a nursing kitty and Metacam is what she came up with. I know that cats are good at hiding pain, but Skye has historically always been a bit of an exaggerator/fusspot, haha. She screams the...

I can certainly ask them about the other pain medicine. The thing is, I'm pretty sure they would let us come in and pick up medication without dragging Skye in there and I'd honestly rather do that than stress out her and the kittens while paying through the nose for the privilege. Obviously...

Skye is getting Metacam which is an anti-inflammatory as far as I'm aware. She's not any better today, in face I'd say it's more pronounced. Again, it vanishes after she's been walking for several steps. She is still jumping up on cabinets when she feels like it but mostly she is sleeping or...

Just under a week ago my cat Skye started limping. It wasn't much, just a small hobble when she got up after resting. We decided to take her to the vet on Sunday after it failed to improve and became slightly more pronounced. The vet examined her, felt her lymph nodes (fine) and manipulated her...

Thanks for your advice. The box is fairly close to the food area. The food is about halfway along the wall while the litter box is in the corner of the same wall and it's not a huge room. I'll will budge it closer though and see if it helps. I'm just worried having it too close to the food bowls...

I have a few questions regarding the whole kitten-raising thing. The kittens will be six weeks old on Sunday and so far only one of them, Zuko, is eating wet food. He's been eating it now for about four days but none of the other kittens are showing any interest. Is this normal? Skye is starting...

Haha, thanks guys!  I love taking photos of animals. It takes ages to get a good shot (99% of photos I take are of high speed blurs) but it's worth it :)  So what colour are this little guys eyes going? All the other kitty eyes are going shades of grey and olive, but he's getting this bright...

I'm gonna go with calling him a smoke for now, haha. What a strange looking kitty!

Still no sign of a favourite so I think we're going to keep Archie, unless Skye does a u-turn and start devoting all her time to one of her babies in the next week before we start reserving them to new owners.
