Rest in Peace, Grace

feeds@yuku.com (offdutycop) — Mon, 18 Feb 2008 00:00:30 GMT

I named her Grace... a very underdeveloped kitten born deceased yesterday. She was one of 6 kittens born to an 8 month old mother. I don't know if this kitten was male or female, but Grace seemed to be a fitting name. If she'd lived, she'd be a beautiful pure white kitten. She was the 4th to be delivered.

I'm hoping the mother doesn't realize one of her litter is missing, but I'm sure she knows. Sadly, I wrapped Grace in a cloth and buried her in the...

5 new kittens!

feeds@yuku.com (offdutycop) — Sun, 17 Feb 2008 23:50:32 GMT

I was given a pregnant expectant mother cat 3 days ago. Yesterday I helped deliver 6 kittens. One was born dead, 5 are healthy, one is scrawny and can't figure out how to nurse. I'm dropper-feeding this little guy. Last night, the mother gathered all her babies, except the one, and put them in a new box.

I've never seen kittens born...I admit, I was a nervous wreck! After the 2nd was born, the mother stopped opening the sacs and I had to open them, take the babies...

Metacam?

feeds@yuku.com (Aquarius1977) — Fri, 04 Jan 2008 11:15:25 GMT

I already posted a little something about this in another thread, but I have some specific questions about this and I'm hoping someone can help so I started a new one.

In the middle of 2007 my cat Mr. Boo was diagnosed with spinal arthritis. He'd been getting clumsy, limping, and wiping out when jumping down off of furniture. The vet perscribed Metacam for him and while he still limps and is kind of stiff when he jumps up and down onto things, he also races around like a...

An old face and name...

Bear and Bella Health

feeds@yuku.com (TwoCat2) — Sun, 16 Dec 2007 23:03:24 GMT

How time flies, as they say. Bella will be 9 in April and Bear would be 17. Bella is doing good, nicely taking her 2 x a day RX for seizures, and has totally stopped peeing everywhere after 8 years of washing down the house. However, she seems to be having trouble seeing, hearing and even her sense of smell is decreased. We are assuming it is a brain tumor. Bear had been in kidney failure a year ago. That actually improved and he was doing well with almost normal blood tests. However, his...

Season's Greetings

I hope everyone has a nice holiday season.

I've missed Purrfect Talkers for awhile, my computer crashed. I got it out of the shop today.

I hope all is well with everyone and their furry friends. Hugs!

Hi Everyone,

This summer I got a new kitten, and here is the story of how we aquired her with some cute pics!

Our new addition came when I got one of those overpowering Mother urges in the summer. I knew I couldn't have another baby due to health reasons, but the urge wouldn't go away. I got to hold a kitten at the local grocery store when some...

Hi Everyone

Hi Everyone,

I'm sorry I've been away from this board so long. I used to be a member about a year ago, and when I tried to log in again, you'd changed locations and the system wouldn't let me in again under my old name. So, I created a new profile and added a number to my name so you'd still maybe remember me....

Hello

feeds@yuku.com (Frisha) — Mon, 26 Nov 2007 16:41:53 GMT

Well I know long time no see. Been checking in to read every so often but haven't really had the time to make a post.

Lets see where to start on the update:

Shadow, I still see him occasionally, not near as often as I did there for awhile. I have only spoken to his furmom about 3 times in the last year. But he seems to be doing ok.

We have two more new kitties int he neighborhood I am...

Blue tongue on the verandah

feeds@yuku.com (bigred au) — Sat, 13 Oct 2007 23:42:54 GMT

Rufus saw it: Then Claudius came over: A blue tongue! It was very unconcerned with it all, was just checking the place out, and wandered off into the garden. Pity there's no snails for it to eat.

Chewing plastic

feeds@yuku.com (Warmbells) — Fri, 05 Oct 2007 09:57:49 GMT

Hi,

We have six cats, all from an animal rescue charity, just lately a couple of them have started chewing on plastic bags. Are they missing something from their diet? We are feeding them with well known tinned cat food and also with Iams dry food.

Thanks
Gerald

Computer

feeds@yuku.com (TwoCat2) — Fri, 31 Aug 2007 10:36:16 GMT

AiYiYi! My computer is possessed. It was so bad after loading the softward, AdAware and Sp[yBot...under the direction of AT&T who is my server!..that the thing was a runaway horse. I went to Fry's, and then stormed out after all of their shenanigans,..a definitely unfriendly to consumers store....wrong prices quoted on the phone,...clerks leave in the middle of helping because of store policy on their lunches, was sent 3 places just to pay--in advance--for the work they had to do,...

Bear gets "lost" and so does Bella

feeds@yuku.com (TwoCat2) — Sun, 26 Aug 2007 14:47:22 GMT

I have no explanation for the info in this thread except perhaps that I am losing my marbles.

Bear goes out into the back yard (fenced) and then comes several times a day. And waits for me to let inside by opening the screen door. It's a wooden, sort of floppy screen door. I am constantly on guard when he is outside because occasionally a neighborhood cat will climb my roof in front and come down in the back yard. There is also the possum I feed that sometimes comes out in...

a POX on Yuku!

feeds@yuku.com (TwoCat2) — Sun, 26 Aug 2007 13:41:17 GMT

I've been checking daily and wondering why no one was posting,...no "new" flagged at all. ! Then awhile, I could not get in, then I got in and found people have! been posting but nothing new is showing up! For heaven's sake!

My heart hurts .....

feeds@yuku.com (trouble) — Fri, 24 Aug 2007 02:05:38 GMT

I just posted a note about our new kittens. Now tonight we are up with our sweet Trouble. I'm worried she is going to die tonight.

We thought she had a major insulin reaction earlier tonight. However she didn't respond to the Caro Syrup in her cheek and on her tongue that always has revived her in the past. Since last night, she's been really restless. Not quite herself. Around 6 pm tonight, she collapsed in the hallway and had about 20 seizures. The seizures stopped by...

We finally got our Siamese kittens!!!

feeds@yuku.com (trouble) — Tue, 21 Aug 2007 22:26:04 GMT

We picked up our kittens 3 weeks ago. They are now 12 weeks old. We have a Seal Point female named Mia. We also have a Seal Point male named Jack. Then last week we picked up a THIRD Siamese Seal Point kitten who is 3 weeks older than Jack and Mia. Her name is Zoe.

They are NOW getting along great and they integrated with our 12 year old Siamese cat, Trouble, in only 3 days.

We came up with a ton of descriptive names that we could have used .... ex: Spaz, Zak (short...

Rufus is a lovely boy

feeds@yuku.com (bigred au) — Fri, 17 Aug 2007 08:09:54 GMT

Poor Rufus. He puts up with so much. I trod on his tail the other day, and all he did was a little meow and hit of my ankle. I didn't see where he was because he was behind me, and I couldn't feel which foot it was because I had shoes on. But he forgave me straight away. Such a lovely boy. Claudius was funny. He came running up the stairs to find out what was going on because Rufus's meow was so strange.
