    Cat and baby sleeping in the same room

    Yep, that’s what I was thinking! While searching/waiting for other experiences, we’re gonna check the options regarding a co-sleeper/crib. We already plan on putting it up on time with balloons in it, but the real ‘test’ is when the baby’s born ofcourse. :)

    Cat and baby sleeping in the same room

    Thanks already for commenting! The fact that cats like to lie on babies seems like some sort of ‘urban legend’ to me too. Our vet believes that there’s already something wrong with the babies in these few cat smothering stories. But yeah, we will keep looking for some advice and tips!

    Cat and baby sleeping in the same room

    Hey all, We’re expecting a baby in April. Our cat Penny has been with us for over three years now. She is incredibly sweet for us, and likes to follow my boyfriend everywhere. Almost immediately after we adopted her, we noticed she has a form of separation anxiety. She sleeps in our room every...

    Wound on nose that won't heal

    Thanks for all your reactions, people! We've been thinking about food sensitivity/allergy since she keeps licking her belly too. She gets fed 5 smaller portions a day when we're at home (when we have to work, we give her 2 or 3 of the portions at once, depending on how long we're gone). She...

    Wound on nose that won't heal

    Hey there! Some of you remember me from the Penny topics. She got a feeding tube at the end of May, it got removed in June, and in July she had bladder surgery where they removed a large oxalate stone. Since her bladder stone got removed, she's been doing SO well. She's on a special diet now...

    Penny Had A Cystotomy - Some Questions

    Sorry for not answering sooner! It was hot, and I got massive headaches because of that. Friday night it became a lot cooler. As soon as I opened all our windows, she was 'activated' again. Like I pressed a button, lol. She was just sleeping a lot because of the heat (clever girl). She...

    Penny Had A Cystotomy - Some Questions

    Well, our regular vet told us to give her the Metacam until the bottle was finished the last time... So I think we gave her Metacam everyday for (over) a month. Afterwards we thought 'that ain't really okay', but at that time our focus was on her getting better. Yesterday was the last day we had...

    Penny Had A Cystotomy - Some Questions

    We give her Metacam (tomorrow is the last day we have to give it to her). She's been on Metacam before when she was treated for an infection, and I don't recall her being sleepy from it. I'm thinking it's the weather too, although the temperatures are okay inside. But with the shirt it's...

    Penny Had A Cystotomy - Some Questions

    It's been four days since her surgery. Her medical shirt is still accident-free. She can move freely, but I have the feeling she feels kinda depressed or something because she has to wear it. She still sleeps A LOT. It's probably a silly question, but is that still seen as normal? The vet told...

    I'm At My Wits End. Cat Not Eating.

    I can’t really provide you with helpful tips, but I can say one thing: a cat eating too little or not anymore is not okay. Our cat developed hepatic lipidosis because she refused to eat her new bladder diet and ended up with a feeding tube. First she ate a little, then she stopped eating. It’s...

    Penny Had A Cystotomy - Some Questions

    Ah well, ofcourse Penny had to test our nerves again. As soon as she noticed there were stitches sticking out of her wound, she started biting/pulling them. Since her medical shirt was in the laundry, a plastic cone we still had from when she had the feeding tube was the only other option. But...

    Penny Had A Cystotomy - Some Questions

    Thanks for replying, peeps! @daftcat75: she didn’t vomit again during the day, so I think it’s a good thing. Since she’s extremely picky and we can’t fully use our stove, I’m gonna see what we’ll do! I bookmarked the page you shared, though. Thanks for your tip. ^^ @FeebysOwner: thanks for...

    Penny Had A Cystotomy - Some Questions

    Hey all! Some of you maybe remember me posting about Penny and her feeding tube a while ago. She had hepatic lipidosis, but recovered really quick and well. She's been her same old self for over a month now, which makes us really happy. During the examinations when she was really sick (end of...

    Your Funny Moments At The Vet?

    Our cat Penny the day she came home with her feeding tube... She was sniffing around in the examination room after the vet explained and showed us how to feed her, and suddenly she sat on her chair behind the desk with the sassiest face ever. Ready to do some administration-pose. That little...
