Legg-Calve-Perthes Disease - Just Diagnosed.

It is only a small kitten box, so the sides are not very high. I could try something more shallow. The vet suggested cutting it and attaching it to the crate somehow. I tried different litter, less litter, moved his food to the other end of the crate, not sure what to do. This is what he does and it's gross. I don't want him sleeping in litter!

Sometimes cats find sleeping in the litter comforting.

 

[OopsyDaisy]

Hmm...I didn't know that. He acts more like he doesn't want it anywhere near him.

Hi .I'd try something more shallow and see if that helps him

 

[OopsyDaisy]

I will look around and see what I can find. Thanks.

A cookie sheet you don't need? A tray like those used for school and deli lunches and buffets? If you get 12-can cases of cat food, the cardboard the cans are packed onto could work.

 

[OopsyDaisy]

Yes, I was thinking an old roasting pan or I have a large glass casserole that he might not be able to tip over. The cat food box might be too small. I've seen people use those. Ash might not fit in that. I'll find something for him.

The cat food box might be too small.

Good point

If you don't have pee pads, maybe another towel that you can "dedicate" and have it partway under the litter pan and out along the side, then if he does kick some litter out you can lift that part of the towel and shake the litter back into the pan so he's not laying in it.

Right! I do have a towel in there now. I have moved the food over too since I took that photo.

Oh, baby boy, buddy !

Would he and his sister benefit from some cat music?

 

[OopsyDaisy]

Perhaps. They like TV. He is on my lap right now doing the "suckee". LOL.

My baby's surgery is bright and early tomorrow morning. Please say a little prayer for him. Look at that face!

 

[fionasmom]

He has the cutest face ever! Sending good thoughts to both of you for a successful procedure.

 

[OopsyDaisy]

Thank you!

Vibes for everything going well!

 

[DreamerRose]

Good luck! When you have time, let us know how it went.

 

[OopsyDaisy]

Will do!

 

[OopsyDaisy]

I'm a basketcase, waiting to hear an update on how Ash's surgery is going.

 

[OopsyDaisy]

***Ash Update***

The vet just called and the surgery went very well! YAY! Ash is in recovery now and I can pick him up in the morning.
