Hi gnt. Thanks for checking in. Rocky picked it up from Fancy, just being around her. It's a virus. I'm sure they'll be ok, it's just taking a little time and Vet visits. They are my fur children. Gotta take care of them.
Hi Faye, haven't had much time to get the computer. We've had a few days of family time with our girls and their families. It was wonderful. Everyone went home Monday, so we rested for a couple of days. The place is too quiet now though.
No, there's been no news on my missing Muskers...her picture is still posted. Sad. Fancy had to have another shot and more eye medication, now Rocky has caught what she has and had to go to the Vet too for the same treatment.
Oh, Susan you'd asked about Rocky. He is still sneezing, a little now and then, but it's no worse, no coughing or anything. He is due to have a Vet visit soon anyway. I'll have them give him the once over, twice.
so glad to see she's doing better, she's been on my mind. how's Rocky? still sneezing? after 9 years my petsmart adoptee cat still still lights up when he hears plastic, whether cheese wrappers or shopping bags. i don't know if his feline mother would drag items to her hideout before they were rescued or it's just the sound that fascinates him. thanks again for the update.
Snooker, you nailed it. That's what is going on. Tonight I put butter in a skillet to fry a steak, and before we could get the meat in the pan, she jumped on the stove and ate the butter! I put her in the man cave while we fixed supper. Bless her heart.
Bluevans, thank you for sharing your story, thank goodness you're friend saw the little thing! You saved it's life! Thank you for YOUR efforts! And I appreciate your kind words. You're right, it's worth it.
She looks much better, even from that view. So glad you nursed her back to health. Several years ago I was driving down the road with my girlfriend and she hollered,"Stop, it's a baby!" We stopped and rescued a scrawny kind of long-haired calico looking thing before she staggered into the street and got run over. Found she had fleas, a terrible earmite infestation and a urinary tract infection. Took her straight to the vet after hours , took a few days for her to even be able to pee properly. Madeline turned into one of the prettiest most well-adjusted cats you've ever seen. We had 4 other cats at the time and she nearly took over the house. Wonderful to see your compassionate efforts are paying off to give a kitty a good life, it's always worth the effort.
Have had numerous strays over the years and they all seem to eat like they don't know where the next meal is coming from. It takes anywhere from a year to 6 years after being adopted for them to walk away and leave food in the bowl. It's as if they are afraid not to eat everything in sight just in case there is no more food later. Gotta love 'em.
Hi Faye, She's coming along, and quite reserved, she's still not really letting her personality out yet.
Thank you bentleyd, the fact that she's improving gives me hope for her recovery.
Hi Angelbender, she did need help. Our help, and the shape she was in when found...Gods help. And she can be a funny little thing. Her coordination isn't the best, so I let her win when we play, you can tell she proud of herself.
Carol! Payton is a very lucky little boy too. Bless you for taking him in. And thanks for the heads up on trash can potential. 8 years later! Oh boy! He sounds like a real character! And has a good apatite too! =)))
Hi Mimi, thanks for checking on her, and I couldn't resist taking the photo. Once I saw her, and held her...I couldn't walk away from her. She was family.
So happy to hear the good update on Fancy. It really sounds like she is doing very well. I love this funny picture. Please keep us posted! And again thank you for the love and care you are giving this needy little critter.
So good to hear of Fancy's progress! She is going to be one beautiful girl. Payton was "on the streets" before the rescue got him. 8 years after I adopted him he still considers the kitchen trash as having potential. (BTW we/he was at the Vet this AM and she "suggested" he is getting a little "chunky"). :))))))
Hi Healer: I'm kinda new to Jigidi so I didn't know about Fancy's story. My husband and I adopted a "tuxedo tabby", Ernie, about four years ago. He'd been hit by a car and almost lost his front right leg. But we would have adopted him anyway because he's so cute and funny. I've posted a couple of Ernie pics on Jigidi if you haven't seen him already. Kudos to you for helping Fancy get a better life. :)
Thanks cobalt, she is more playful, and I keep kitten food out for her all the time, since she was malnourished. When she gets a clean bill of health from the Vet, I'll change her feeding times. She is still sneezing, but not as often, her eyes still drain some, and I'm treating that. All in all, I think she's doing better too. Thanks for checking.
Well, I hadn't thought of that. I threw away the wrapper that was on a fast food hamburger, and she dove right in there after it. Not once, three times, till I removed it and put it in a closed container. It smelled like food, I was afraid she'd eat the paper. She eats like she's not sure when she'll get to eat again, beacuse that was her life.
