Yes, I now have a note in the notes app on my phone to keep track of the incidents so I have a record to show the vet!
Good idea on the probiotics ! I'll see what the local pet store has to offer on my way home from work today and start implimenting them 😊
It is fairly consist spots that I find them, but they're not where she sleeps. This morning for example there were 3 little nuggets dropped at intervals between the litter box (in the bathroom) and the living room.
I'm more concerned by the sudden frequency with which it's started happening -...
Yeah I wondered if it might be that but some of the nuggets can end up quite some distance away, spread over her usual route from her litter box to the couch!
I'm pretty good with cleanings, I do it every AM when I first wake up which is usually only an hour or two after she poops - I guess I...
The camera is a great idea! I have one sitting around (from when she was a kitten and I was nervous about leaving her along when I was at work) that I don't use anymore and can repurpose!
My vet is on vacation at the moment but I've left a message to ask for an appoonect week - hopefully with...
Hi all,
I've recently had several incidents where I've fount a nugget or two of poop outside of the litter box when I wake up in the morning.
Prior to the last couple of weeks this had happened maybe twice in the two years I've had Sky but it has happened 4 times in the last 2 weeks.
It...
Hi all!
My 1 year old cat Sky is going in for her annual booster jab tomorrow.
Since I initially had no intentions of letting her outside her first jabs (initial shots and booster 4 weeks later) were for FHV, FCV and FPV.
I now am considering the idea of training her with a harness and...
Hi all,
I'm struggling with some of my cat's behaviour at the moment - over the last few months she's decided that its a great game to really attack my arms, biting and scratching to draw blood, and I'm sort of reaching my whit's end with it and hoped that people here might have a few tips and...
Hi all,
There are two things my 6 month old kitten Sky is absolutely obsessed with. Feathers and the crinkley mylar balls.
She's very good a ripping the feathers out of any toy that has them and instead of constantly replacing them I was wondering if anyone had any recommendations of feather...
Yeah there are 2 stitches that are just external and go over the glue (knot on the outside)! I just took off her onesie to give her an opportunity to groom and I literally looked away for 2 seconds to answer my phone and she'd chewed on one of the stiches and undone one of the knots 🙈
The wound...
That's good to know!
I know I have a long day at work tomorrow and so I'll probably leave it on for the next 24h just so I don't stress to much about her during my shifts!
She's been kept on strict no jumping/playing since the op and whilst she's definitely recovered she isn't quite like...
Hiya,
I just wondered if anyone had any experience with external dissolvable stitches and recovery time?
The vet closed Sky's external spay incision with glue and two dissolvable stitches. He said its his preference with younger cats as its an extra layer of protection if the kitten gets a...
I'm also based in NRW!!
Agreed, she said that the litter was from a friend of hers, but there is of course no way for me to verify that! I had been in contact with the local shelter for months, I'd get in contact with them every time they had an indoor cat available, and even went to see a...
Hi all,
Just to give you an update!
After I didn't respond to her last request for one day, I received a second message simply with a bunch of question marks. At this point I recruited my German friend to help me write a succinct and to the point message to get my point across. Essentially it...
Hi all, thanks for your responses!
We did have a (hand) written contract basically just saying that I would be responsible for all her medical care (she hadn't been to the vet at all and wasn't vaccinated, chipped, de-wormed or spayed) and that I wouldn't pass her around and just sell her on...
Agreed, thankfully between work, the pandemic and a new kitten I'm pretty busy so it doesn't really bother me other than annoying me when I see the notification coming up!
And yes, I don't doubt that all those elements can peacefully Co exist, although I think Sky is greatful to have a bit of...
I don't think it would go further, its more of an annoyance than truly concerning. She sent me a message this evening and I think I'll write a measured response tomorrow morning that since its been 6 weeks now I don't think weekly updates are necessary and I will send her updates each month...
Thanks for the quick response, yeah it's through WhatsApp.
Where I live it's very common to sign short hand written 'protection contracts' privately like you would from a shelter and in there was a sentence that I would send updates, and honestly I really wouldn't mind sending them every so...
Hi all, I have a bit of an odd situation regarding Sky's previous owner that'd I'd appreciate some advice on.
A bit of background, I put up adverts on some classifieds sites here in the country I live saying that I wanted to give a cat a new home whilst I was looking in shelters also. She got...
