    Default My cat.

    I had to leave my 14 yr old cat @ the vets today. He is constipated. She says this happens in older siamese. I am hoping he will be ok. Plus I am hoping the bill won't be astronomical. I am in huge financial distress right now. But I am willing to start selling stuff to pay for this. He is my bud. I have 2- they both are.
    Send good thoughts/vibes his way. His name is Binky.

    Kitty Gods: I know you can hear me. Please help things move along with Mare's older siamese kitty. And make sure Mare doesn't leave the vet with a sore hiney either. Amen.

    I hope your kitty is ok!

    And if not, I'm Italian. Pure blood. (not those shameless "turned" Italian folk) and if da bill is high you call Mast. And Mast call his cousin Tommy the Two Armed Gorilla Torelli and he'll go up and get your precious Binky, (and see that the kitten is returned to you unharmed and purring as all little kitties shoud do) and bust the doctors friggin skull.



    Good luck !

    As someone who has a cat that is nearly 14 years old (only 3 months away from her birthday, mine is tomorrow on Monday lol) I can empathise about how much you want the cat to live .... I too would do as you are doing (I would sell whatever I could to make sure she was cared for) as she (my cat) is my Queen .................................and the only spirit/living being that has been with me consistently (sp?) over the span of 14 years.

    May the God and Goddess bring Binky back you to well. Blessed Be.

    May the Cat Gods that were unable to return my runaway beautiful Picky Picky to me be able to at least let things go well for little Binky. ::sends good thoughts::

    (just a side note from someone who has had various cats thoughout her life -- some cats choose to leave as they feel they can get a better deal elsewhere or have left because they felt it was time for them to leave thus allowing you to have a new cat in your life... at the same time, the cat could just be lost right now as it found a spot somewhere (ie in a car) and now is somewhere else ................ if your cat has a habit of going outside, get it microchipped!)

    Thanks GCG - this cat was a stray....He was full grown when he showed up, I had a feeling he wouldnt stick around forever. Once a streetcat, always a streetcat, but Im glad he got to know what it felt like to be loved and pampered, even if he decided it wasn't for him.

    Bye old friend, Picky Picky.

    Did you name Binky after the "Life In Hell" bunny? Just curious. Much loving vibes to your pet. Sigh.

    The poop gods were kind! He was given an enema and she said he went well right after. I picked him up this morning. He is sitting on my shoulders as I type. I am soooo happy. He isn't an old 14. I keep him in the house with his "brother" Bobo. I was worried he was going to have to have surgery.
    But they have been the consistent spirits with me too. The past 14 years of ups and downs.
    I can't remember how he got named,but it wasn't after hell bunny. He was a stray that a girl found the litter in a 7- 11 dumpster in Texas. He was the last one to be adopted and he was young. I had to bottle feed him.
    The house was strangely empty last night.
    Thank you for all the positive poop vibes. I know they helped. The dr. said in siamese there is a tendancy for the colon to slow way down like that in old age. So I have stool softner to give him and he can be on that indefinitely. Yeah!
    The bill was 200. So not as bad as I was prepared for. Still he is priceless. I will try to get a picture on here.

    When your baby comes home start putting vitamin E or fish oil in his food. It helps the constipation. It also helps the coat and skin. I put a tea to a tablespoon in and mix it. They love it! Their breath is a little funky but it's worth it.

    Maybe you can keep some drugstore enema on hand to <ahem> help him along.

    Good luck binky!

    As cats get older (ppl too), their kidneys can weaken and they don't process fluids as well anymore, leading to increased dehydration and constipation. You may want to switch to canned foods at least part of the time (I even mix a little water in the canned food for extra hydration), and think about getting a running water fountain like this (my cat drinks 2x as much water with this).

    If you get it @ Petsmart or Petco, you can return it if you cat doesn't like it.

    Also you're right. I need to get the flowing water bowl. My cats love to drink fresh water.
