Sending healing energies to Joe that this time he will recuperate quickly and well and that the problem will have been solved. Let us know how it goes :) </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/25992#post-514755 Sun, 21 Mar 2010 00:32:38 +0000 dionnewb 514755@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Hi Jcat... Glad to get a response at this hour, when most TDkers are not available... :) hail NZers.. :D</p> <p>Joget seems fine. He peed quite a lot on his own just now. Ate well and demanded more food, so Im not worrying too much at the moment.</p> <p>The only thing that keeps nagging on my mind is that when he had his first surgery (about a month and a week ago, to widen his "original" urethra), he was really great after his catheter came off. Peed well, ate and pooped well. But after about 3 weeks, he started to block again. Then the vet decided to have a Perineal Urethrostomy on him, made a new urethra that resembles that of a girl.</p> <p>I just hope there will be no further complications... </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/25979/page/3#post-514754 Sun, 21 Mar 2010 00:05:40 +0000 Lainey 514754@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>I guess I'm too much of an old-lady... I don't like texting at all! I love my cell phone but only want it ring and dial out. Yes, VM is a pain, I can't deny that. I'd rather email than anything (except talking to my friends, of course). I just don't like dealing with customer service of any company. I, for one, can't stand those freaking (sorry for unfluffy) menu's. When I do call someplace I WANT a human. Otherwise I deal with websites. Rant over, going back to bed! </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/25972#post-514753 Sat, 20 Mar 2010 23:31:47 +0000 dan138zig 514753@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>guys, i found an interesting alternative. what do you think about this? is it better?</p> <p><a href="http://www.nutrisourcedogfood.com/nutrisource/products/cat" rel="nofollow">http://www.nutrisourcedogfood.com/nutrisource/products/cat</a><br /> Ingredients:<br /> Chicken, white rice, chicken meal, corn gluten meal, chicken fat (preserved with mixed tocopherols and citric acid), beet pulp, brown rice, tuna meal, natural liver flavor, flax seeds, oat fiber, brewers yeast, alfalfa meal, tomato pomace, dried egg product, potassium chloride, sunflower oil, salt, phosphoric acid, proteinated minerals (iron proteinate, zinc proteinate, copper proteinate, manganese proteinate, cobalt proteinate), choline chloride, cranberry powder, yeast culture (saccharomyces cerevisiae, enterococcus faecium, lactobacillus acidophilus, aspergillus niger, trichoderma longibrachiatum, bacillus subtillis), taurine, minerals (ferrous sulfate, zinc sulfate, calcium carbonate, zinc oxide, copper sulfate, manganous oxide, sodium selenite, mineral oil, calcium iodate, cobalt carbonate), chicory extract, vitamins (vitamin A acetate, vitamin D3 supplement, vitamin E supplement, niacin, pantothenic acid, thiamine mononitrate, riboflavin supplement, pyridoxine hydrochloride, folic acid, menadione sodium bisulfite complex (source of vitamin K activity), biotin, vitamin B12 supplement), ascorbic acid (vitamin C), inositol, yucca schidigera extract, rosemary extract. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/25991#post-514752 Sat, 20 Mar 2010 23:22:30 +0000 jcat 514752@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Hi, Rocky, </p> <p>Deb is absolutely right, any kitten would be scared right now, new people, new surroundings, new smells. Try to think how you would feel if you were suddenly whisked away from all your family and friends, house and away from everything you knew to somewhere entirely different with new people, and you were only the size of a small kitten. You would probably feel like hiding for a bit too.</p> <p>It may be that kitty will calm down in the box and soon be absolutely fine. Cats are very curious so as long as you always speak gently to him or her, never handle him roughly but always gently and always speak and move slowly around him/her (sudden movements and loud noises are frightening), s/he will probably come out soon to find out what is going on and learn to fit into your home in no time.</p> <p>However, if after some hours in the box, s/he still seems very frightened and upset, then your kitten may not have been socialised to get along with people properly in its former home and may need some extra TLC and coaxing. If that's the case, you will need to be patient but there is some wonderful advice for you on this previous thread: </p> <p><a href="http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/14236" rel="nofollow">http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/14236</a></p> <p>which is also about a scared little kitten who needs to learn how to be good with people.</p> <p>And again, Deb is right, a vet check to get his shots and check his general health is a very good thing, especially as you will probably have plenty of questions to ask about your new baby! Good luck and keep in touch, we will always try to help if we can :) </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/25992#post-514751 Sat, 20 Mar 2010 23:11:53 +0000 jcat 514751@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Dionne, I wish I could help you but this is way beyond my experience. Was the vet expecting you to take the catheter out yourself? And how does Joget seem now? Try to keep him calm, warm and comfy and try not to worry too much unless he gives you cause. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/25991#post-514750 Sat, 20 Mar 2010 22:22:27 +0000 AZDEBRA 5/27 & crew 514750@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Welcome Rocky and new kitten to the TDK website, if you click on the pink tags in the upper right hand corner of this thread you will find some helpful info threads from others before you with new baby kittens. I haven't had one in awhile but others here have and would more info than I. Because of the late hour, there isn't a big crowd on the site right now but some should be coming along in the next few hours. </p> <p>Your kitten is scared as any baby would be, he has been taken from his mother, his littermates/siblings and is now in a strange place with strangers. So yes it will take time for him to settle down, he didn't mean to scratch your mother. Please do make sure that you take him to the vet for a check-up and his initial shots unless the first lady who has the mother did this already. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/25992#post-514749 Sat, 20 Mar 2010 22:06:23 +0000 dionnewb 514749@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>My cat Joget, has just got his second surgery to cure his FLUTD problem. Today is his 10th day after surgery (perineal urethrostomy).<br /> This morning I found his catheter dangling from his new "hole", apparently he has been trying to nudge it, despite the elizabethan collar his wearing.</p> <p>I called my vet, and he asked it should be OK to let the catheter come off after 10 days.</p> <p>But Joe is a very naughty boy who cant sit still, even when he is caged.<br /> Not knowing any better, I pulled the catheter out. Joe wailed when I pulled it out, but it was over in 2 seconds.</p> <p>What worried me is that I might cause some damage when pulling out the catheter.<br /> I've tried googling on this matter, but found none that could explain the questions I have in mind.</p> <p>How long does it usually take for the new urethra to heal?<br /> And could I have done some damage when pulling the catheter out?</p> <p>Pls anyone who can help me, I will really appreciate any comments...</p> <p>Thank you very much</p> <p>PS: I called my vet, but he is busy right now, and only told me to consult an emergency vet if I am really really worried. I am, but I really cant afford an emergency vet right now... </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/25511#post-514748 Sat, 20 Mar 2010 22:05:28 +0000 So_Cal_Nana 514748@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>We are making progress!!

But all the way till i got home we tried to get his food bowl and water stuff ready he jumped out of my moms hands and ran under my cabnits and ran into the corner which lead to stress. :( then finally we got him out but when my mom got him he started to get very Upset and i mean going crazy he tried to get out of my moms hands but didnt and the effect was that my mom got scratched up badly and we ended up putting him in a big box to fit his litter box, food,water. So now hes in the box right now calming down. :( can someone give me tips on what to do now :( i hate having to have him in the box. Also he is only 9 (WEEKS) old im sorry for having to make such a long message. PS the cat is like a panda bear ^^ i hope to send a picture of him soon :( </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/25980#post-514746 Sat, 20 Mar 2010 20:20:56 +0000 cheri12/22 514746@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Spice plays fetch all the time. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/25985#post-514745 Sat, 20 Mar 2010 20:13:34 +0000 CheetahBoysmommy 514745@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>I'm not sure how Dale, the boy cat, was spayed, but I have heard of cats (and dogs) who can predict seizures. </p> <p>Since both cats gave 3 hours notice, their human must be giving off some sort of scent or electrical change before her seizures. If medical science could isolate whatever it is, there would be so many seizure-prone people who currently have limited lifestyles who could benefit. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/25969#post-514744 Sat, 20 Mar 2010 20:06:52 +0000 CheetahBoysmommy 514744@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Yeah, JCAT, I guess I mean big feet. Of course, I'm the person who sat on the kerb a few hours ago telling an 11 month old St. Bernard what a cute little puppy he was (he probably weighed 40 pounds). If that puppy was little, those polydactyl feet qualify as tiny. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/25980#post-514743 Sat, 20 Mar 2010 20:01:17 +0000 CheetahBoysmommy 514743@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Both Cheetah Boy and Fila play fetch. Cheetah brings the toy (or milk bottle cap) almost back to you then cries until you get out of your comfortable chair and toss it again. Fila brings it close enough that you can actually stretch and reach it without getting up.</p> <p>The real champ at fetching is Baby Harley (Cousin Spike's little brother). He brings whatever it is right to your lap. Of course, when you try to pick it up he starts batting at your hand, but at least you don't have to get out of the comfy chair. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/25990#post-514742 Sat, 20 Mar 2010 19:56:41 +0000 CheetahBoysmommy 514742@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>There will be lots and lots of kittens who need homes available in shelters and rescue places. If you are going to get an indoor only kitten, you probably want to get two so they can keep each other company. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/25988#post-514741 Sat, 20 Mar 2010 19:55:59 +0000 GreatDane 514741@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>I really, really don't like hockey!!!

I hope that you look into caring for a kitten before you decided to get one. Can I ask why you will not allow your cat indoors? Do you have a safe outside environment for a kitten? Those are a few things to think about. Since you have a cat maybe you could also ask you vet for advice. It is always exciting to add a furry friend to your family, just make sure to prepare in advance for the care that your new friend will need to live a long and healthy life with you! </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/25990#post-514731 Sat, 20 Mar 2010 18:29:38 +0000 bala 514731@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>I want to get some new kittens soon well were there be a lot of kittens for sale I have one cat how is a sweetheart and any advice on how to take care of them</p> <p>P.S. there outdoor cats and well never come in side </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/25988#post-514730 Sat, 20 Mar 2010 18:28:32 +0000 mollycat71 514730@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>I have "Changeling" here that I got from Netflix.

I went out and weeded the heck out of one garden bed (and rejoiced to see that lilies I thought hadn't made it are poking their heads out of the ground...). </p> <p>Sigh. Sun, flowers, the smell of newly mown grass-- where's the down side? Well, spring also means I won't see two of my sweetest, most beautiful cats again for the next 9 months, except in passing. Both will only come in at night to sleep from Dec.-Feb. when the nights are below 40 degrees. Seriously, they are as regular as the seasons themselves. Both of them will then sleep in my bed and one, Abby, is just amazing. She curls up by my head and doesn't move a muscle until well after I have breakfast started. The other is also pretty quiet but he wants out at 3:20 a.m. and can rarely be persuaded that it is too cold.</p> <p>So while I am glad to see nice weather again, I am sad! </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/25988#post-514724 Sat, 20 Mar 2010 18:02:29 +0000 mollycat71 514724@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>I will have one piece of the artichoke pizza and one piece of the gorgonzola pizza please.
