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.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:

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?

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.

It's a she (I know... odd name.
)
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!0 -

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
We are devastated and the tears don't really stop flowing... This is just unfair, He is such a loving, funny and sweet kitty.Please, Pearl Jam, consider a Benaroya Hall vinyl reissue!http://community.pearljam.com/discussion/148993/please-pearl-jam-consider-a-vinyl-benaroya-hall-re-issue0 -
