Our Beautiful Mia Having 3-5 Kittens In 1-2 Weeks !!

[sunshineclare]

Hahah tell me about it ! I spend a fortune on my kitten's food as she is so fussy ! I hope the warm water works on the eyes ! They sell Lubrithal ophthalmic eye gel on Animed Website which is one I use to buy Gracie's food !

Have you tried Zooplus daisyd ? we use them for most things we buy, you can go through Quidco or similar and get a few % off and they have a regular customer plan and you save 7% on top of anything else, plus there are voucher codes for 2/3% more off if you spend more than £90 ish, we don't always but often, I think it's STOCKUP or STOCK UP or something, you can generally get around 10% off, they stock Thrive which someone recommended to us on here, it's great food, (or seems so lol not tried it!) and they have the Orijen dry food - we just ordered the cat and kitten Orijen - they have great toys - have you tried the Catit circuit - it's SUPER cheap around £12 - mia and Mojo were batting the ball back and forth and it blinks so much they love it!! Can't wait to get the kittens started on it!!!!

Fetch is great as they do super fast delivery and you can choose which 1 hr you want, but they are generally more expensive xxx

Hey Sarthur2 what age is a good age for kittens to meet new people as daisyd is fairly local and wants to come and see them. I had a friend pop in briefly last night but the kittens are too small to really notice anything, how old are they when they start hearing as they don't seem to hear anything yet!!!

When is the best age to meet New Humans?!! I'm so happy they should be so well socialised as we are totally doting on them lol, we are completely rearranging our schedule lol, my partner is a building surveyor so goes on site a lot so I make sure I am here now, we used to try to organise things when we go out at the same time so we could spend more time together but now we try so there's always someone here with the kittens!! Haha, I used to be a DJ all over the place, now I am tending to kittens and doing gardening and property work lol! I love it though xxx

 

[sunshineclare]

I'm so glad they are ok !!! I always think best go to the vet if you can ... Can't wait to see them in person in a few weeks

Yes definitely daisyd in this case we are super glad and I think the vets were super glad too after telling us just to wipe them ourselves and us saying no we really think there's something more happening here, well there was, the lady was LOVELY today, they all are, so we are very happy we took them in. :-) Better safe than sorry xx

 

[daisyd]

Have you tried Zooplus

I have looked on there and lady at work recommended the site ; however the only reason I order from animed is the royal canin gastro food Gracie's eats is only £34 for 40 odd packets ! It is 3 days delivery though . We tried every thing and she is sick on any other cat food (I think she stuck Her paw down her throat when were not looking ) !!!

 

[sunshineclare]

this food ? https://www.consumeraffairs.com/pets/royal_canin.html

Please don't do it. Up to you. But don't trust Royal Canin.

 

[daisyd]

She can only seem to eat the gastro intensal vetinary version ! She's sick on the royal canin kitten food and every other cat food I gave tried. Have her prina once she was so Ill she had to have 2 injections . Vet said it was ok to keep her on it as she has boiled chicken, or mince beef on some days. I've worked out she can't have anything with jelly or gravy in it so I need to find a wet cat food without gravy or jelly if going to replace ! I'm taking Her to vet next week to get her claws trimmed so will ask again what they recommend

 

[sunshineclare]

Have you tried raw minced beef or lamb? like we would eat from tesco or sainsburys?! I know it sounds silly and expensive but if you look at the £ / g it's cheaper than some foods! Have you tried this? thrive® 100% Complete Kitten - Chicken we ordered a bunch LOL £80 worth to get £20 off - from Ocado - Mia loves this, appreciate you might not want to order a bunch without testing first, Honestly Royal Canin wherever I dig its full of shit, their bean counters are everywhere, its profits before cat welfare for sure

 

[daisyd]

We eat spag Bol and chill every week so I always cook her mince in a separate pan (without the additions) and she loves it ! I've never tried it raw though. I will look at the site as thats worried me ! It is seriously the only food she can keep down ! I think she was weened too soon ! We got her at 7 weeks and God knows how long she was with the precious owner however I think they got her from somewhere else which means she may have been taken from Her litter and mum At only a few weeks ! Anyway I digress !

 

[sunshineclare]

When I bought our little Mojo I saw him and his mum and dad eat a HUGE bowl of raw mince, like a dog sized bowl, it disappeared before my eyes, in seconds, that's with Mojos huge dad and his mum was big too - i wish I had a photo of her! That's where the white comes from! cats are obligate carnivores, I've had cats all my life and never fed them raw meat, I saw Mojo's parents and him all devour it and only since then given it, they love it, it's how they'd eat in the wild, just need a variety and hence the complete thrive stuff, we used to give Applaws but someone here said it's not a 'complete' food so wary of it now xx

 

[daisyd]

Thank you ! Will try that . So thrive has no jelly and gravy added? Didn't see it say that on the link so should be ok. As I said it makes gracie Ill ,,

 

[sunshineclare]

Hey daisy I'm not sure about gravy and jelly, I'd say most likely no jelly it's just good quality real ingredients, you could call thrive and ask them to check

 

[sunshineclare]

This is them earlier xxxx

 

[sunshineclare]

Mia is such a good mama! Xxx

 

[sunshineclare]

This is Big Ginger before we went to the vets xx his eyes look great now xx I'll post photos with both eyes open when I can grab some!! Xxx

 

[daisyd]

Hey daisy I'm not sure about gravy and jelly, I'd say most likely no jelly it's just good quality real ingredients, you could call thrive and ask them to check

Thank you I will !!! She's a nightmare and is so Ill when she eats gravy I can't risk it ! That's why she has gastro stuff
