Your cat is so cute! I'd just be careful leaving a cat with a pink nose out in the sun too long can cause skin cancer!
There are a lot of here and there's when it comes to what is optimal for an animal. Is early spay/neuter healthier? Is it healthier to leave them to develop more physically then spay and neuter and stunt them despite sexual maturity? There are a lot of back and fourths, pros and cons on both sides of the fence therefore it is all personal preference in the end and what best suits the owners. I am with VCA animal hospital I REALLY like the Dr. and what he does for his patience. I asked about spaying a kitten at 2lbs and it was highly frowned upon by him. I am all for spaying early IF it is a rescue going out for adoption in an organization. Maggie is in a permanent home so there is no rush to fix her. Her vet stated he would do it at 5 at the earliest and 6 months preferred for development reasons. He also talked us out of over loading Maggie her last visit with tests and unneeded vaccinations (which I will get to here in my next post on her thread) her chip and tests are going to happen when she is out and in surgery, keeping her stress low and keeping visits pleasant will avoid her being petrified of going in, as you can see from her photos at the vets she her eyes were nervous but she quickly calmed down and wasn't a demon for everyone to handle. We want positive associations with EVERYTHING and want what we feel is best for her. I do hope you, aswell as all the wonderful
Don't understand it either and sadly even though we have a mandatory spay and neuter law here the explosion of kittens is disgusting! Yeah, we all have or preferences. For me, I am OK with the time frame in which my man, vet and I came up with and why.
Did you find that it was difficult to keep her calm while she had stitches in and would an inflatable donut work just as well as an e collar? Maggie is crazy fire and loves to just go hard for hours with me before crashing out. What about litter? Would we be okay with the Tidy cat light weight? That's all she has ever used! She hates those pellet pines or larger granule litters. Did she get sick at all after? Sorry. I am trying to prepare a head of time.
Hi the stitches were ones which dissolved over time and she only got annoyed with the cone ! We tried an inflatable one which was better However she worked out how to get it off Her ! She intentionally went through a small gap so the cone became lose !!! Litter we just get cheap from our local superstore (£1.50 a pack ) as we change it twice a day - spoilt madam ! However once they get used to a brand best not to change - my friend told me she changed brand and her cat went to toilet outside of it !
Not sure who you are pertaining to with this post, but Maggie is strictly indoors. She doesn't even like sitting in the winow to look out. She's too busy following me around and if you are speaking of my blinds being open it is not direct sunlight. I have owned game bred APBTS with red pigment so I know about the sensetivity to direct sun/heat. Thanks for the concern, however my plants and myself like a naturally lit room during the day.Your cat is so cute!

Awesome! Sometimes it's so much cheaper to just build your own. We found nothing but junk trees that was a real cause for concern. They would have tipped right over and we have tile floors so that would NOT have ended well.That cat tree looks so good!!!! We made one for our cats, too. It looks like she is loving it
Adorable! Her "snowshoe saddle" is starting to appear. *SNORGLES* to her from me and mine!View attachment 180528 View attachment 180529
I am so very much in love with my gorgeous girl! Perfect little white mask and fuzzy little belly. <3 such a sweetheart too! Always giving kisses, purring and love biting.
Not to be rude, but please do not put a breed type on her. There are simply away too many pointed breeds and moggies running around to be 100% or even slightly accurate JUST by looking at an animal. Without a lineage it is just a guessing game so please, call her Maggie, Domestic, Cat or Moggie. It is actually MORE welcomed than any breed suggestions or tags.Adorable!

"RESCUED" has always been my favorite "breed".Not to be rude, but please do not put a breed type on her.

She's just a fluffy little mutt and she doesn't need a breed on her. Chances are she is 100% Heinz 57
I actually call her a Squirrel, that is also acceptable as a breed. Lol!! She runs around with her tail hunched hehe.
Both of those are pretty cute terms for her.Love that!! We sometimes joke around and call her a purebred pointed squirrel. Lol!! Or a Street Point maggiemese.
I completely agree! Mutts, especially mutt cats, are better.Both of those are pretty cute terms for her.
I'm a mutt myself, as are my beloved cats. We like it that way. We're said to be healthier. Also better-looking.
