I am sorry to hear about your cat's diagnosis. I don't have any experience with this surgery, but someone will probably come along soon with some insight for you. In the meantime, though, if I were in your shoes, I would choose the surgery. From what I have read, cats and dogs can lead a normal...

How is your guy doing? I'm sorry this happened to him (and you); here's hoping he's doing better now.

My cat had PU surgery a couple of months ago. I also used a hospital that probably wouldn't have been my first choice, but as you've learned you don't get a long time to mull these things over when your cat has a potentially life-threatening blockage. As it happens, the surgery went OK and...

What a handsome kitty! :redheartpump:

Ha I like domestic goats too. They're so cute! I'm not sure the mountain goats would like to be pet, though. :p

Like many of the other posters, I'm having a hard time naming just one. Bears, a moose, mountain goats, a family of mink, a monkey...and way too many birds to list. Most recently, I saw some seals swimming, which always makes me a happy.

A little over a week ago.

I saw Knives Out about a month ago.

Thanks for sharing your story! I have a cat that recently had the surgery and agree that finding a board-certified surgeon to do the procedure is very important. I asked the hospital a lot of questions about the surgeon and her experience. For me the recovery period was very stressful. I was...

We have a camera on our boxes as well. :paperbag: LaLa, thanks for your good wishes. At least I know I'm not alone! Let us know what happens with your guy.

Wishing you the best of luck. One of mine had PU surgery just a few weeks back, and I've found the recovery process to be very stressful. I watch him almost obsessively!

With the usual caveats (I am not a vet, every cat is different, etc.): Did your vet also do an ultrasound to see what’s happening in the bladder? I’m wondering whether lingering inflammation or crystals could be the cause of the blood you're seeing. It's good news at least that he is otherwise...

I can't speak to whether he is a purebred, but that's not your run-of-the-mill DLH. Beautiful cat regardless. I believe we have a breeder of Persians on this board, so it will be interesting to get her opinion.

Do you have just the one box? Sometimes adding another will help. One of my cats seems to prefer using one box for one thing, and another for the other.

Those are really cute! It's nice to have cheery decor when you live in a place with cold, dark winters; I bet your mom loves them.
