hello, I'm the fabled luna roommate. I have come to supply pics  when she got home from the emergency vet she discovered some catnip and she's apparently now old enough to go bonkers about it

 Luna got to finish up her shots today, gets fixed in a couple months and then we'll be clear until she's due for a new exam next year.

yeah, I read a lot about this back when I was attempting to get closer to some non-Luna backyard strays, and the advice was always ignoring each other while in the same space. put out food or something like it and then just chill near her. For what it's worth, when we finally got to let Luna out and into the house, Sam spent over a week, maybe even two, hissing at her when she was anywhere within ten feet, and now they're buddies and routinely play wrestle.

I went in to clip Luna's claws last night and she absolutely wasn't having it. Howling, growling, hissing, my hands are savaged. She'd forgotten she was mad at me ten minutes later. Still not the worst fit she's thrown, that was when I was cleaning poop out of her tail fur and she was screaming like I was murdering her. My phone camera really doesn't know how to handle her, she's simply too dark and too fluffy.

Rowdy doesn't normally need trims much, but he really likes to climb onto the blanket I usually have on my lap and start kneading, so sometimes when they get sharp enough for me to feel I'll take the clippers to him. He whines about it but that's about as much fuss as he puts up. Luna definitely has kitten tier zooms and also loves to grab your feet when you're not looking, so I'm trying to get her into the habit. She's not taking to it well.

trying to get pictures of Luna going postal on the foot under a blanket but she just manages to be cute  she simply will not allow herself to be held or petted unless it's for under 20 seconds or she's very sleepy. otherwise the claws come out. the vet warned us that since she wasn't weaned properly she might be ornery but drat I wish she would chill out a bit. bonbon's tail being so high even when there's another cat in her space is a very good sign!

honestly it's fine if Luna doesn't turn into a cuddler -- I had a previous fluffy black cat, Freyja, and she was never cuddly but was still cute as hell and would walk around the house at night with a toy in her mouth trilling for attention. had to let her go in May for heart problems and now Samus has taken up the night trilling duties. but it WOULD be nice if she'd stop biting when I pet her!! obligatory Freyja pix

I'm constantly worried Rowdy is secretly blocked and I just haven't witnessed it, even though he still seems to be peeing fine when I do see it. He's been super fussy about not eating his urinary care food recently and only wanting to eat the dry version, so that's got me extra worried. Good luck to Seville, is there a way you could board him at the vet so they know to keep an eye on him? Our vet does boarding and I always have to set Rowdy up when I'm on vacation.

Rowdy pees with his rear end up and Samus either watched him doing it or decided she needed to pee higher than him to assert dominance. Covered boxes are your friends as long as you can get her to use one.

She definitely has a bit of a tabby pattern when she's all stretched out. You can see it when she's curled up if you look, too, but it's harder to spot. I'm pretty curious to see if it'll fade when she gets a bit older or her winter coat falls out.

Crocobile posted:I got Sinjin when he was a little under 1 and would say he mellowed out around 18 months. Like he still plays a lot and is a young active cat, but he’s not a menace to society/me/himself. some friends of ours have a big cat who they got around 1yr old and he ate one of those feathery strings and pooped it out fine (albeit a disgusting color) so I'm manifesting that for Niko. Sam took until pretty much this year to chill out (I think she's now about 4) and Rowdy took around until he was 3, though he was helped by getting a kitten when he was 2ish to keep him entertained. Freyja was chill pretty much immediately (estimate I got her around 6 mos old) and it really gave me the wrong impression of what looking after Luna would be like. Though Freyja took until she was 7 to even be okay with strange humans she didn't know and Luna is already doing just fine on that front.

Roosevelt posted:tippy is the worst. if she can see suzie q she will attack, and he does not enjoy it. he's started to limp, and he's 17 years old for god's sake. that's why i was asking when she might calm this poo poo down. Luna has started to ease off on Rowdy a bit but only because Samus is always willing and eager to play wrestle, even when Luna is not personally initiating (she usually is). But he's definitely trying to avoid aggroing her more these days and I think he's worn out on being bitten on every biteable surface.

Rowdy has a frustrating and recurring problem where he eats hairs he finds around the house and then they get stuck in his poop and cause him to run around with poop stuck to his rear end, trying to shake it off. Usually it's one and done, but last night I wasn't feeling well so I heard him enter the box, attempt to poop, leap out and run around, try the box in the other room and do the same thing ... Hoping I don't have to take him to the vet for it but he got poop all over one of my work shoes and I didn't even notice until I got there this morning  I love Mr. Kitty thank you for sharing him with us dumb brunette fucked around with this message at 18:26 on Feb 9, 2023 |

tippy can't fool me by looking cute. I know from luna experience that it's all a ploy and soon enough chaos will be wrought and hands will be shredded I tried to set her down on my bed the other day and she flipped out and destroyed my hands. I thought she'd been terrified by a cord, but then she flipped out later on her own because there was an inhaler there and I guess she didn't like it

as long as she keeps eating, pooping, and not barfing, she's probably ok. it's kind of wild what can make it through cat digestive systems

no good new pictures of luna (she simply moves too fast) but a while ago I bought one of those collapsible beds that has a little cave/covered bed portion when it's not in collapsed form. I brought it out of the bathroom where it's been hanging out due to reasons (other cat keeps getting into luna's food cupboard, so now we're keeping the door closed) and tried to see if luna was interested in it in collapsed form since she's lost a lot of interest in the covered bed part. she was not. sam sure was though

Endless Mike posted:seville seems to be peeing, albeit smaller amounts than he seems to want to do (when i looked, a clump was maybe a tablespoon in size, when i'm used to quarter cup-sized clumps or bigger before). i've definitely scooped as much as i'd expect for the two of them, so i think he's still getting it all out, which is positive. he mostly seems to be acting normally otherwise with the exception that he's been passing the gently caress out earlier than usual (see above pic) and not coming to bed at night. that might just be the combination of meds - he was getting prednisolone in the morning, gabapentin twice a day, and prozac at night, but the gaba ended yesterday, so we'll see how he does tonight. the vet wants me to call tomorrow and discuss the prednisolone since last time he had the blockage a few days after we ended it. prozac will probably be an ongoing thing along with the urinary food rowdy was on gabapentin for a bit after he had his cancer surgery and it knocked him out good. the first night I had him home I hadn't set up a crate for him but I found him collapsed in his carrier purring extremely loudly. hope seville evens out again! keep doing ok seville

Skinnymansbeerbelly posted:I need some advice I was gonna ask if you could get some of the litter and crate her until she uses it. rowdy had to be crated for a bit after his surgery (he attempted to climb/jump the first day he was home and ripped a claw and I wasn't willing to take any more chances with his more delicate surgery wound) and he acclimated surprisingly fast, though I'm sure the drugs he was on helped

Luna is in her crate and still pretty furious. she's not having a good time with her morphine at all, poor thing. The vet even said she was terrified and hiding there the whole time. she seems a lot less terrified now but still very mad that she has to have this cone onRoosevelt posted:mighty morphine power ranger so instead I take joy in the tippy zone

went to check luna's weight and she's still a bit smaller than tippy at about 6 and a half pounds. during her time out and about today she immediately attempted to climb the cat tree using nothing but jumps and claws and now she's in baby jail again good luck jet!!!

Endless Mike posted:get her a comfy collar instead. she might hate it less, at least I've got an old bread-shaped one from when Rowdy had his surgery (we had to replace his cone like five times because he kept shredding them while trying to get them off) but I'm slightly concerned it's going to be too big for her. I'll probably test it out later. She's mostly pretty well behaved but I let her take off the cone to eat because it's too big for her tiny face, and putting it back on is an ordeal every time.

I'm actually unsure myself, might vary from vet to get. last cat I had spayed they didn't give a cone (though I had a lot less stuff she could climb anyway so I had to worry about that less), and when Samus was fixed she didn't have to get coned either. I've seen her licking a little at the stitches when I let her wash for a few minutes after eating before putting the cone back on, but I stop her and she doesn't seem like she's trying to pull them out. I think for Luna they might be playing it safe because they gave her dissolving stitches and didn't plan for a follow up appointment.

unrestrained, the wild radar dish returns to her perch atop a reclining chair godspeed jet. rowdy has poop issues but his are all constipation which is much less annoying to deal with and just results in him dragging his rear end around like a dog. kisses for jet tho

is there maybe a room where you could put him where he can't climb or jump much but still can have room to roam a little, a hiding spot, food and water away from litter etc? bathrooms are a common one . it's a step up from crating and I know it's common for pet surgery and injury recovery. it was a really common answer when I was looking for advice on keeping luna chill after her spay.

Luna is out of her cone, the poor thing threw up the other night and got it all over the inside of it and got some back in her mouth as a result  since her scar's been looking good I just took it off. She's been fussy about eating the last couple days, but usually will eat all her food once she's been coaxed a bit with treats. wondering if it tasting like her puke is putting her off. it just makes me so nervous after the scare in January.
