CATS!!!!

No but it's been in the news here a lot lately with regard to Cyprus. The kitten here has had his first set of injections on time and is a week away from the next. Fingers crossed he picks up. Dehydration is the worry.

As far as I know, there is no vaccination against this coronovirus for cats.

Relatives in the US who breed cats say that if they test positive for the virus, veterinarians suggest euthanizing the animal. And this plague is quite common.

I believe you're correct. This is interesting:

Experts warn about feline coronavirus after ‘thousands’ of cat deaths in Cyprus

‘Alarming’ reports of sudden rise in feline infectious peritonitis thought to point to more virulent strain

I don't want to speak too soon but little Syd here has perked up. Drinking water, eating well and doing solid poo! Plus back to his usual boisterous self and drawing blood

I worry less about the kids!

 

[Onoff]

A couple of hours after his second jabs yesterday Syd was sick and had really runny poo. Phoned our vet where he was jabbed at 19.50hrs, no answer. So much for open until 8pm!

Had a bit of a play but sleeping a lot. We phoned the emergency vet who didn't seem unduly concerned though the bumpf they give you says to phone if they experience those exact symptoms! They were quite happy if we wanted to bring him in for the starting fee of £250. They said "if he was lethargic". Tbh he just wanted cuddles.

Tbh we would have done but he didn't seem at death's door so played it by ear. SWMBO slept with him last night. Let's face it they're built to clean this stuff up as evidenced by her wiping his bum with a baby wipe. "It" really shows up on a white cat!

I looked in this morning, she's fast asleep and he's sitting on her chest bright eyed.

Just wondering how many people's cats on here have had reactions after their jabs?

Keep in mind that the wee one has had a very hectic time of late. Left mother, moved home, new servants to train, probably a bit of a change in food, new routine, dewormed, then some big begger comes along and sticks a big needle in them. Twice.

Probably the wholes thing has just been a bit of a shock to the system for them. Like children, they can appear to be at death’s door one minute, and bouncing around with not a care in the world the next.

With cats I think eating is the key...if they loose interest in food then I start to worry.

...but also depends on the time of year. If it's really hot they tend to go off their food I've found.

We're holding off getting a replacement for gingie...he got expensive towards the end and I just need a break from all the costs. Don't get me wrong...he gave back so much he was well worth it...but I need to be ready for it again.

What on Earth are you teaching the wee soul. That link took me to a page that said I couldn’t see it unless I signed in, due to the adult content.

Love it, never known a cat to play fetch before. Ours are only interested in things you throw them if they are edible, otherwise treated with contempt.

One of his litter mates went to another lad as barn cat for his stables. Already earning her keep on the vermin front.

He lives mainly in the kids old playroom downstairs. As soon as I go in he meaows at me. I have to bend down and he gets on my shoulder. I then have to stand up so he can get two paws on my shoulder, one on my head, and use his free paw to bash hell out of the ceiling mobiles we've never taken down.

Many, many moons ago, me and 1st hubby adopted 2 feral cats. The boy used to love playing fetch with his little red plastic funnel. He’d even drop it at your feet, and pat your leg to get it thrown for him.

He sees me and cries to climb up...
