    Nice

    We are figuring out what do with our tree. Gremmie I'm not too worried about he doesn't care about it he just want's to lay under it. But being this will be the first time Pig has been around a bright shiney tree with all kinds of cool orniments that of course he will think is for him. We have to figure out what to do.

    I'm thinking I might teather it to the oak desk and not put any orniments near his reach.
    :lol: good thinking. When my cats were kittens I only put ornaments on the top half of the tree. Fortunately they never tried to climb it, but my brother's kitten launched herself from their loft directly onto the top of their tree :shock: :lol:

    So we had to take Mr. Pickles to the vet two weeks ago because he seemed to be belly breathing quite hard and wasn't as playful anymore and slept a lot. The doctor said the prognosis would be bad, and that he had fluids in his lungs. She said it could be a virus or a heart disease named hcm which is quite typical for cats :( Now, we are giving him a diuretic three times a day and since we started doing that a week ago, he seems to be much more agile, is playing a lot and eating like a horse. His breathing seems to be better, but we can still see some movement in the belly. The x-ray for the cat was $80 :shock: We don't really know what to do at the moment, going to the vet for more diagnostics is not affordable at the moment. I guess we just have to wait and pray ... Maybe he has just had a chest infection resulting from the kennel cough in the shelter. Does anyone here have experiences with hcm in a cat?
    I don't have any experience with hcm, but I just wanted to say I hope Mr. Pickles makes a full recovery. He is adorable and seems like he is very lovable. Good thoughts being sent for him

    Thank you. He is such a sweetheart, it would break my heart if we had to put him to sleep :( But we keep up hope. If it is indeed hcm, there is nothing really that you can do. It's genetic. He would have to take heart medicine :? Time will tell, I guess. And in the meantime, we just enjoy every moment that we have with the little goofball :)

    Mr Pickle looks like Gremmie

    He looks like he is saying "Hey somebody rub my belly I demand it!"

    Thank you guys. A bit of an odd and bittersweet day today. I buried my old girl in the morning but welcomed our new arrival this afternoon.

    Captain Fuzzykins is officially part of our family now.

    It's a she (I know... odd name. :mrgreen: )

    She was born 21st September. We were going to get her a couple of weeks ago but it was my daughter's 18th birthday party at home with about 30 of her friends (and no new kitten needs to go through that!) and last week-end the family were away.

    She does look a bit 'wise' in the top photo. But in reality her face is so tiny!

    Rest in peace, Tinkers and have a happy healthy cat life, Capt Fuzzykins!


    Well, we went to the vet again with Mr. Pickles today and it turned out that he still has fluids in his lungs. So the diuretic didn't really help. The vet says it is very probable that he has a heart issue. Since he is still so young and it is already that bad, there is nothing really much that we can do. So we will take care of him as best as we can to make his remaining time wonderful and snuggly and cosy. Eventually his breathing will get really worse and he would suffocate. Before that happens, we will have to put him to sleep. It is terribly hard to see him suffering :cry:
    We are devastated and the tears don't really stop flowing... This is just unfair, He is such a loving, funny and sweet kitty. :cry:

    I am so sorry :( All I can say is that Mr. Pickles is really lucky to have you guys love and spoil him for the rest of his time here. Maybe that's why he found you. He's a lucky little guy to have found that, even if it's far too brief. Sending lots of comfort your way.
