Title: Some advice from Cat owners please
Post by: Geemonster on December 29, 2009, 04:52:27 AM
Right then!
  Mr Socks is not well.
It started about 3 days ago,i went to turn the lamp in the lounge on and stepped in something soft and gooey,Cat puke.
  I know it was either a chicken or a Turkey as in the puke was the string or elastic that's used to tie up the legs or whatever.
  Anyway he loves Chicken,i put a bowl down for him and he looked at it and walked away for the 1st time in nearly 3 yrs.
  He seems a little subdued and hasn't really touched a morsel of food in nearly 3 days,apart from some dried food, Gocat that i put in his bowl last nite,but then only a few mouthfuls.
  He seems ok apart from that,a little subdued maybe.
I was wondering if anyone has a Cat or Dog that's eaten something rotten,and has been ill.
  Some advice perhaps if any would be appreciated.

I so dont want to be the one to post this but the thing you should be most concerned about is whether or not any of the string is till in his stomach. I have never heard of a cat suffering from food poisoning of any kind, well connected with bad meat, but I have had 2 relatives who spent a large amount of money for surgery when their cats digested string/thread. Not going to go into any details but maybe you can google digestion and get some more information. Here's hoping he's going to get over his bad feeling quick and easy. Love you Mr Socks!

^ I agree with OC. Lots of animals are supposed to be able to eat really nasty stuff and not get sick. I read the reason the exact biology ... I'd have to go look it up. or.. at least it's true for dogs. One time the dog I had before this one ran off from me, and by the time I caught up to her she was eating old nasty chinese food out of take-away cartons in an alley in a spilled over trash bin :-X  I imagine cats have similar biological defenses.

But.. things like string could get wound in their intestines. Most things get pooped out. But, I'd still watch her.

and.. I'm clueless otherwise. Sometimes my dog gets picky about food, and refuses to eat for the day. I suppose you could try something soft like baby food.

I did look it up though... and cats can get Salmonella

..so, if (wait. he?.. why did I always think your cat was a girl..?) anyway.. I'd watch for weaknesss and diarrhoea. And ask a local vet's advice if it gets worse.

Thanks peeps!
  The thing that's really got me is 1) I have no pet carrier,there's loads of Cats in our street,but no one seems to own a pet carrier ???
  2) The Vet will charge just to examine him,and im piss poor,so it's a visit to the PDSA,just need a pet carrier,which costs money in it's self. ::)

They might have a carrier to loan you. They might anticipate that pets that would need free services might also need a carrier to get there, and have some to loan. And, it's also why I said I'd just watch for symptoms to get worse... because, the vet might not even do anything. The link I posted mentioned some theories that thought it was just best to let the bacteria run its course and get out of the system. But.. you should watch out for dehydration. And, you might also check to see if they'll be closed over New Years... becuase if things tuned worse, it would help to know who was open for the holiday weekend.

Nah!  We live in a capitalist country,i'd have to pay even something like ?6 for a cardboard pet carrier.
  I found a pet carrier in an empty house,all that's missing is the front grill,so i'll use that,he should be going today some time.
  Payday tomorrow. ::)

When I was little, i had to ride in the back seat with my sister's cat. Both of my sisters were older then me, so were already in college when I was still in grade school.. anyway.. My sister had this insane cat, and she had to get it from school, to where we lived which was like.. a 2 hour and 30 minute drive. And the cat ripped and bit the cardboard carrier the whole trip. I kept panicking because I had to keep my hands over the holes the whole trip :D I thought the cat was going to jump out, and go wild and cause a car wreck >_< The last ten minutes of the trip the cat had half it's body pushed through one of the bigger holes ::)

so..yup.. cardboard carriers are dumb :)

She did it just to make my life hard.
Oh well, I got to keep the snakes though.

Aimee is only going to be 4 or so feet long ( Royal Python) and Samantha wont get much bigger than she allready is ( little over six feet).
Both are pretty tame and Sam is a flirt. She hasnt harmed anyone, and Aimee is really gentle.

I take it you have the censor option turned on and some words are just variations of the intended word.  If I now call you a bless'ed kitty or a richard the filter will diffuse it but not move too far from what are essentially ambiguous words (won't make much sense to those who have enabled the filter).

I would say is he had something wors, he would have puked or pooped those right out, so he's probably not bad off. Maybe a little off. But not bad.

He ate most of a tin of Tuna last nite,as i hoped he would.
  He ate a whole pouch of Whiskas,this morning along with some Whiskas milk that he loves,and he's pretty much over whatever he had which is a bad case of food poisoning i think.
  Mr Socks is better. 8)

Got a call, Im probably going to be adopting a cute 8 week old black siamese.

Title: Re: Some advice from Cat owners please
Post by: Geemonster on January 04, 2010, 05:07:44 AM
Excellent Robin. :)
  Siamese can be a little on the neurotic side,but they're lovely Cats all the same.
  My parents had a couple of them,one a Blue Point the other a Seal Point.
They'd climb my legs while i was spooning their food out.
  They'd sometimes climb the curtains too. ;D

Post by: Robin-Graves on January 04, 2010, 07:54:17 AM
Ive had a half manx and half black siamese,, she thought she ran th place and would tell me when to go to bed.
If I didnt, she would sit and glare at me. She didnt like sleeping alone.
I had to give her to a freind since I was moving into my brothers place after my old place was burned down.

Yeah well,,, I was moving out anyway.
One of the neighbors set the fire,, he was the reason I was moving,, he cooked and ate the neighbors pets.
I was afraid he was going to look at my Claudia , the snakes and the three terantulas I had and think " Buffet!".
 He was a little odd.
 I still miss Claudia,, my brother was alergic to cats.

When you can shoot a clay pigion ( 4 inches in diameter) from 100 yards a way with a .30.30 rifle with open sights,, a knife is no threat.
Reminds me though when I was deer hunting a few years ago,, this hunter shot a cat just because he hated cats.
I shot his windscreen out of his truck.
He threw a fit and I said I hated his truck, so I shot it.
I hope he got the point.

Ah!  I was on about home defence,not 100 yards away,my cleaver could be swung or in worst case scenario,launched,and be very dangerous indeed,in close quarter scenarios.

Im a hermit,, I dont let people get close anymore,, if they do,, Ginger ( my .45) is awsome for close up and personal,,got a .12 guage pump also.

But back to cats,, Frank is well, adjusting to the cave and playfull as ever. He nad I fought over my pillow last night.
He won of course. Kittens are just miniature eviceration specialists. The scarring should be minimal.

FOrtunately, Frank got out today and the dog didnt hurt him,, He went nuts at first with the dog,, bu Bear decided to cuddle up with him.
I should have gotten a pic earlier,, Frank and Bear were eating out of the same bowl.lol

This question is not meant to bring anyone down to low but I had to start calling around today to get prices on euthanasia for Gretta. She slipped and fell while she was just trying to eat her meal and then when she stood up her bad legs just got tangled up and she couldnt get out of it and slipped again.

The only vet open on Saturday told me $75 to be euthanized and $55 for cremation. (Shes a very large dog so......) I feel like a total heartless madam questioning prices for something like this but I cant watch her suffer anymore and we dont have any extra money. If anyone has had to go through this do these seem like reasonable prices?

Sorry to hear about Gretta OC. A friend of mine had to get his dog Garfield put down a couple of months back. I think he said it cost ?80, but it was only a smallish dog. I think the prices you stated seem pretty reasonable for a big dog.

my neighbors bird(small bird) died and the vet charged 80 dollars to cremate it. the prices do sound reasonable. i dont know if you have a pet cemetery near where you live, perhaps they may offer a better cremation price. And maybe the ASPCA  might offer a better price.

I'm sorry OC  :(

And I agree that sounds reasonable. You might call different vets in your area, or see if there are any activists organizations that could help. I know they donate food, and neutering.. you might find someone to donate other services also.

I once hd to bury a hamster in my then garden.  So if one of you ever ends up at 9 Gorse Walk, Colchester (http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?q=9+Gorse+Walk+Colchester,+Essex+CO4+3QR), you can pay your respects to the fiercest little rodent I've ever handled.

He's very vocal talking to me and stuff regularly,when i open the window he make a Brrr sound as if to say "Thanks" "Hi" and as he walks by he'll do it if im sat on the couch on his way to the front door,as if to say "I wanna go out"
  He also wails as if he's letting others know this is his territory,and for the Females.

Schrodenger would do that too.
 Id sit watching a movie and he would jump on the footstool and meow at me wanting my attnetion,, if I ignored him he would tap me lightly on the leg,, then sometimes would sigh and you can see tears like hes crying.
 He was funny,, he wouldnt sleep at night untill someone held him. Usualy me lmao.
 I miss him alot,, my ex got him and gave him to her freind who moved away.
I hope Shrodenger scratched her eyes out in her sleep.

 Funny story how I got Schrodenger.
I had a siamese named Madaline,, she was sweet, afectionate,, everything a siamese isnt lmao.
 She was really small,, I think she was the runt of the litter. But one night she didnt come back inside after my son let her out for a few ( she never stayed out long).
 He found her the next day in the back yard,, I guess a coyote got her,, she was torn up pretty bad.
 I sat there and cried over her on the back steps after I buried her.
 After a few minutes of this I heard a week meowing sound and looked up and this little grey kitten that was half starved and skinny was standing there shaking.
 I took it in and was going to try and get it healthy again.
 He got healtheir and survived,, me and him were pretty good freinds.
I miss him to this day.
 I could really use him around here some days.

Yeah,, Freds great.
Hes gotten to the point where he is spoiled and makes me pay a toll when I come in.
Depending on his mood its eather holding him while I watch a movie or up to a can of sardines as I come in the door.
Damn cat is running a business in MY cave.lol
