More of the same....

Gee it has been a while. I had my operation dates put back, and now it is at the end of July. It is a little frustrating because I want to get it all over and done with, but good in as much as that I have been able to give up smoking and get myself a bit well that way, and loosing a couple of kilos.

I've been taking it easy, as the spasms seem to be getting worse. The doctor says to leave treating them till after the operation as that will stop them altogether.

Kitten has cut her stomach, taken to the vet where she had stitches and a drain put in as it was badly infected. She has such long hair and puts up such a fight when we try to look at her stomach at any time. So we are rinsing the drain and have been giving her medication. She isn't too bad with the meds, mostly, and when she does fuss, we just put them into her food.

Just waiting as usual.....

Talk to the tail....

This is my sister's 18 year old cat Lala. Lala was a rescue from the RSPCA about 10 years ago. The poor thing is quite senile and is due to have all that fur shaved for summer as she isn't capable any more of caring for it herself. She keeps fairly good health for a cat of her age.

I will tell you about my trip to Canberra later on today...

I missed ..

Starbug - our new kitten

a day, but not to worry.  As I still have no real news.  Although I had to take two of our cats to the vet this morning.  The new kitten had to have her stitches removed from her neutering operation.  But the ginger x-tom has had a sore paw for a while.  He actually went to the vets about two weeks ago.  He was given some painkillers and anti-inflamatory tablets.  He was going okay, then three days ago he was hobbling without putting his paw down at all.  He is just miserable.  The vet is positive that he has only torn a muscle and needs confinement for a few weeks.  

It is funny seeing the vet as a small animal vet, as I am used to him coming out and tending my horses.  I can use horse jargon with him, but I don't really know much about cat physiology or anatomy and I am going to have to learn.  

The new kitten is a lovely white colour with ginger and black patches on her back.  She has a faded ginger chin, and faded ginger spots behind her hocks and front pads.  She has a lovely huge foxtail that you have to see to believe.  And she is so very bright, especially for a cat and considering she is only six months old, it really amazes me.

She also has a blue eye and a yellow eye, as you can see in the photo above.
