Kitties!!!!

This post is in: , ,

I wound up at the Vet’s early this AM because both my four foots got sick last night. The older lab mix’s GI system goes wonky once or twice a year. No big deal – boiled chicken and rice and she’s normally good to go. Unfortunately, that wasn’t really working this time and after taking her out last night every 45 minutes or so, the younger lab mix decided she wanted in. And for her opening act: PROJECTILE VOMITING!!!!! This was also her second, third, fourth, and fifth act over the next hour. The good news is I have tile or bamboo floors. The bad news is I had steam mopped them yesterday afternoon…

They both survived the night. I got no sleep. Called the Vet’s as soon as they opened and was in the waiting room 15 minutes later. They worked us in within the hour. A history of what’s been going on, or rather out and coming up, since Thursday, an exam, two shots a piece, some follow up pills, and a bill later and the girls are resting comfortably.

Anyhow in the Vet’s waiting room were two different sets of kittens they’ve got for adoption. And, of course, the Veterinary practice’s large, orange swirl sherbet colored Maine coon. Because I was close to tapping out from exhaustion and needed to handle my girls, I couldn’t get too close to the kittens, but I did manage to snap a couple of pictures. And since we’re overdue for a new thread and since I’m completely exhausted and not going to do anything substantial, here they are.

First up what looks to be three wildcat or wildcat/Main coon mix kittens. Since I couldn’t get too close, and only had my iPhone with me (so I’ve tweaked the sharpness, etc a bit so you can get a better look), you can’t really see it, but they have both the spots on their foreheads and the “M” marking. They also have horizontal stripes ringing their legs and tails. From left to right – one is sort of the color of a conch shell – not pink, not orange, not coral, not peach – just sort of a mix. The other two are different shades of gray.

The two other kittens were both black. This was, I think, the only time they were not moving around and playing the entire time I was sitting there.

 

And this is the clinic’s cat:

 

Stay fluffy!

    The clinic cat is identical to my late, great, Howie the feline Golden Retriever. He arrived at about four years old by way of the Humane Society, and lived to twenty. God I miss him.

    Inquiring minds want to know: did it involve mustard?

    My cat has been throwing up every other day for the past couple years and we can’t figure it out. He’s had diabetes since 2012 or so (thanks to a quack vet giving him a steroid shot without our permission) and he’s nearly 17 or so. And he always throws up a second time directly after the first time.

    I think the word for the color of the not-pink, not-orange kitten is “buff”. Looks like he and his tortie tabby friend are literally joined at the hip! They’ll have to be adopted together.

    Hope your labs have a speedy recover from their GI issues.

    We are on the road, in the ancient folk ritual of celebrating an inlaw’s wedding by seriously stress-testing one’s own. I am having trouble adapting to this laptop keyboard & crappy screen, but the Garden Chat is now finished & queued up for dawn or thereabouts.

Which is fine, as I really don’t want to deal with multiple different sized layers and fondant this week…

    I adopted a couple of kittens today…absolutely adorable. One even has no tail And they are incredibly well-behaved for kittens. They just love attention (including belly rubs). The only problems – my adult cat doesn’t like them at all (yet), and they were outside cats, so they are loaded with fleas but too young for shampoo, collars, etc.
    Anyone have experience with a young kitten with fleas? I’m assuming all I can really do is get a flea comb and work on them daily for a bit. Maybe bathe them with baby shampoo, which might get them accustomed to being bathed without slashing me.

    Having had the personal pleasure of multiple episodes of “projectile vomiting” in one afternoon, I’m able to explain.
    Watch The Exorcist. Now add a lot of pressure/speed/volume to the projectile as shown in the movie, as if it were being shot out of a naval or artillery weapon. You will be close to the concept.
    In my case I destroyed a public restroom at an event I was working. Finished, cleaned it up with buckets, mop, sponges, a ladder and lots of water. Just in time to have a second round of shelling, ordered from the battlefield in my stomach. Repeat, rinse. A fun time was had by no one.

    @Keith P.: Check with your vet,but I assume getting them wet will help you comb out those fleas even if you can’t drown them.

    And it’s worth stressing the babies a little, cuz a load of blood-suckers is more stress on their bodies than a bath. Fleas steal nutrients kittens can’t spare!

    When we found our now-cat Charlotte as a flea-ridden kitten, we bathed her and her sister in kitten shampoo. Just be prepared for all of the fleas to swarm to the top of their heads, which is kind of gross.

    @Yarrow: No. My oldest, Rosie, has this happen a couple of times a year. I honestly think this case was because we had really heavy thunderstorms and monsoons all day Wednesday, which upset her, but also meant she wouldn’t go out and equalize pressure when she normally would. So by the time she got out around 5:30 or so, she’d been holding everything in and that just stressed her system out. When she didn’t finish her breakfast Thursday morning and didn’t want any frozen blueberries as I was making my AM/breakfast protein smoothie, I knew she had a rumbly tummy. Made some white rice right away and gave her a bit. Took chicken out to thaw and then boiled that up for her dinner. That she did eat. I thought we were going to be okay by Friday afternoon as she seemed okay, but starting about 8:30 last night, she wanted out every 45 minutes or so. Not much left to come out, all of it liquid. About 2:30 Ruby had a completely liquid stool. And 1/2 an hour later the puking started. I have found that when Rosie’s system gets out of whack, Ruby’s will go within a day or two. And it did.

    Fortunately they’re doing much better. Though around 4 AM yesterday morning I was on the phone with the emergency vet considering taking Ruby in versus waiting things out till 8 AM. My biggest worry is she’d gotten into one of the gopher frogs we have here and she got just enough toxicity to mess her up. Fortunately her gums were normal colored, she wasn’t drooling, and she started drinking just as I was talking to the emergency vet. It was the refusal to even take water off my fingers that had me really worried.

Something about the short shuffling that one has to do in a crowd and that I have to really watch where I place my feet so I don’t fall, I think. And I still can walk 3 1/2 miles to a store I go to, as long as it isn’t too warm, like over 75. Life is fun. Life is fun. Life is fun. Just keep telling yourself that and you too may be convinced.

    It’s kitten season at PAWs, so nearly every weekend (my shift is Sunday) there are kittens available for adoption and mobs of people rushing in to see them. This is my first year at PAWs, the weekend before last was my first “Kitten Season weekend” and it was kind of jaw dropping. I think all the kittens on hand – 10? 12? – were adopted in that 3-hour period.

    Whenever I think back to reading Death of a Salesman, why didn’t Willy Loman’s boss take pity on him and give him some busy work to keep him employed, just until he could retire on Social Security in a few years? And speaking of Social Security, it existed in 1949. The welfare state in the US, while not at its zenith (I’d say that happened in the 1960s with the Great Society programs), was still going strong. Why didn’t Willy just retire on his Social Security? I’d ask Arthur Miller, but he’s dead.

    Back when Willy was getting ready to retire SS didn’t pay all that much. Sure you didn’t need as much to live but you needed more than what it provided at the time. Also people were used to working a bizillion hours a week and what were you going to do when you retired in 1950, sit around and stare at the walls?

    I don’t mind the racing footage at all but what I know is that one tiny mistake at his speed and it’s a ride of a lifetime. Most of the corners are outside off, not into a hill or embankment. Notice at the end even the driver was extremely relieved to be able to relax. And most race drivers, while they do tense up a bit are normally pretty relaxed, they are used to the speed and how quickly things happen. And it helps a lot to going fast and smooth not to be wound up like the clock at the Tower of London,

    A friend and I did an overnight marathon drive from her home in the flatlands of Florida back to my hometown years ago, for a friend’s wedding.

    Her little boy, then just 3 years old, had never travelled far by car before. He was so excited and energetic for two days before the trip that he wore himself out and slept through most of the drive, only fully waking up when we were coming up my hilly driveway, which had a sheer drop off of about 30 feet one side.

    @Keith P.: My sister and I groomed pets to put ourselves through college. If they are small enough, you might try the kitchen sink. Make it as pleasant and fun and treat full as you need to so they learn that getting a bath isn’t life threatening. Ask your vet about shampoo. They may also be big enough for a flea pill (the vets give it for boarding). Baby shampoo will get them clean but might not dent the fleas. If you use baby shampoo, dilute it a LOT. 5 to 1 or 10 to 1 lot. If you have a sprayer on the kitchen sink or a shower wand in the tub, it will make it easier to direct the water without blinding them or waterboarding them (see above on fun). To help get rid of the fleas get them wet to the skin. If they will tolerate it, let them soak for a bit. When you brush/comb them after, have a small container of alcohol (rubbing alcohol not drinking alcohol). Put the fleas in it. Fleas can generally hold on for a bit in water but alcohol kills them (and their eggs). Brush/comb them on a light colored surface (table mat, towel, sheet) to make it easier to spot the fleas trying to escape. Wash all towels or other fabric used in this with hot water and a capful of disinfectant (Lysol). Sprinkle the carpet with baking soda, let sit for half an hour, then vaccuum. This helps kill the fleas and eggs in carpet so you don’t get to do this forever. Don’t let the kittens lick up the baking soda, it will give them diarrhea. It’s still less toxic than bug bombs.

    Since the drops for fleas and ticks have been invented we haven’t had any trouble with insects. Plus new house is all hard floors, mostly hickory hardwood, tile in the kitchen. We did need to bathe a full grown 20 pound cat once, he got under an old truck on a hot day and got Trans Fluid allover his back, a very bad thing.

    But we put him in the sink with Dawn and things went well, he was quite civil about it as we told him that oil was bad for him and had to come off. Warm water spray rinse. We used flea combs for years and had good luck with them mostly. You do need to rinse a lot, residue of even Dawn is bad.

    None of our critters is inclined to vomit randomly. One cat will occasionally ralph up a rodent that didn’t sit well. The other cat has in 10 years caught two birds, and ralphed both up a couple of hours later. If they’re too hungry and we feed a little too much the cats sometimes barf, but there’s always an easily figured out reason.

    Now I’m gonna back to bed, maybe get 3 or 4 more hours… wish me luck!

    Adam, all our folks, I’m sorry that some of you have troubles with your furry kids lately !

    Adam, sounds like you probably have things under control. With rescues we so seldom know how they get stressors installed. Neighbors have a big dog their niece rescued, they took her in when Niece died a couple of years ago – dog is a big ole sweety for people and male dogs. She reacts so negatively to female dogs that if not well restrained she will attempt to kill them. No barking, no fuss, just attack.

    They never let her out without a leash, which is all it takes to keep her controlled. She tore up one of our labs, early in her stay next door, and Alice didn’t understand what was happening… looked like a patchwork doll when we came home from the vet. Many many stiches. drains. Was a pain for the weeks until we got the stiches out.

    Hope everyone’s fur balls are good going into summertime.

    @Adam L Silverman:Glad to hear the beasties are improving. Midnight vet calls and visits are stressful for all. Very cute kittens, alas I’m a bit far away.

    I’ve been meaning to thank Werebear for her very helpful advice over the phone a couple-few weeks ago. I got a consultation to deal with an ongoing issue and it was a real pleasure to have a voice behind the website. The old geezer kitty is holding his own. I’d spent a good deal of $$ to have several teeth out; he was howling all night and losing weight, so we opted to go for it despite the risks–he’s 17. Came through better than the vet expected but was not eating well even after healing. I dosed him several times with a slurry of some of the goodies she recommended on her website: coconut oil, nutritional yeast, probiotics, and gelatin all squirted carefully down his mouth so he didn’t aspirate. It was, like, a miracle, he perked right up and started devouring Fancy Feast turkey, hey, whatever works.

    However he’s now gone blind, the cataracts caught up with him. So he’s in a baby corral when I can’t be around to save him if he gets mixed up wandering. It also keeps the other cat Becca from chowing down because she’s gotten too tubby to jump over, so I’ve got more control over her diet. It all sounds like a lot, but as long as he’s eating and purring when he gets petted, he’s not giving up so neither will I.

    We love ’em all.

    @Shell: Actually those two kittens, as well as their sibling, were completely active and playing the entire time I was there other than when I took that picture. The vet techs had removed the water bowl for cleaning and refilling, as well as the litter box for the same. The kittens had been using the sides of the litter box as a jungle gym. When the techs came and took it out for five minutes they settled down together. And that’s when I took the picture because if I’d done it when the litter box was in the crate it would have just been a picture of three different color blurs.

    My sympathies on the dog vomit situation. My last girl rarely got the sicks, but when she did, the only place she wanted to puke was on the couch. In the middle of it. (Pro tip: washable slipcovers and/or and old quilt).

    On the plus side, it makes you fairly immune to feeling squicked out by dangerous, smelly bodily fluids. (Well dogs, plus in my case, baby + home washed diapers…)
