Had to drag myself from my sickbed to report this important milestone in Caliban's life: he has lost his first whisker! At least I haven't found any before. Now I spotted a big white whisker laying on 'his' hair. My baby has really grown up now, to lose a whisker! :P Don't mind me, I can't think straight at the moment. Back to bed. Purrs to all.

Has Caliban hacked his first hairball yet? ;) Thanks, Theresa. No, he hasn't. Frank and Nikki used to bring up hairballs nearly daily, but AFAIK neither of the Mir-a-Cal cats have hacked a hairball, ever. <knock on wood> SignatureMarina, Miranda and Caliban.

My > baby has really grown up now, to lose a whisker! :P Awwww, now his childhood is over, but I think, for you he will always be your baby:-) Get-well-soon purrs are on the way to you from Inge and the catgang SignatureCatManiacs World: http://www.gwsystems.com/inge > Had to drag myself from my sickbed to report this important milestone in > Caliban's life: he has lost his first whisker! Ok, I guess I'm iggerant: do cats normally lose whiskers occasionally, and is it a sign of "maturity"? The reason I ask, I was brushing Ketzl a few days ago and when I looked at the brush there was this one gorgeous full-length whisker in it. He didn't wince or anything, so I figured it didn't hurt coming out, nor does he seem to miss it, but I've been feeling guilty about brushing him "too hard" (I probably wasn't...) and I never recall seeing dropped whiskers from my other cats. Marina, take it slow and get better fast. (Is that virtually impossible?) This has gone on too long!

I don't know, I just assume they have a certain life span, just like hair. I've never found any of Caliban's whiskers before, so I thought maybe that life span is about 2 years. Not that they all fall off at once, but I did find another one clinging to his side this morning. I told he's got to stop flinging his whiskers around. > The reason I ask, I was brushing Ketzl a few days ago and when I looked at > the brush there was this one gorgeous full-length whisker in it.

I'm sure you didn't hurt Ketzl. It was probably lose already, and the brush just pulled it out. Frank and Nikki used to lose whiskers all the time, but I've never found any of Miranda's. But then, hers are much shorter and dark grey, so I may just have missed them. They would blend into most backgrounds. > Marina, take it slow and get better fast. (Is that virtually impossible?) > This has gone on too long! Thanks, I feel better this morning, but I still have to wait until tomorrow for the lab results to find out what the problem is. Thanks, everyone, for your good wishes. I'm still a bit too tired to reply individually. SignatureMarina, Miranda and Caliban.

That sounds like a nasty flu you've got! Hope you feel better soon. Congrats on Caliban's milestone. I didn't know that kittens didn't lose whiskers, that it was a sign of maturity.

What has caused it, do you know? I found a whisker last week too. The very first ever. Tweed > Oh dear, Marina, I hope you feel better very soon. What has caused it, do > you know? The doc will ring me today with the lab report. I do think it's getting better, slowly. It's gone on for much too long, 11 days. It gets difficult when you have type I diabetes, because you can't stop taking insulin, and when you take insulin, you have to eat so you don't get hypoglycemia. It's been hard to find things to eat that don't just go straight through. I've mostly been eating yoghurt and bananas, but I've pretty well had my share of yoghurt and bananas for this lifetime!

It's really difficult to eat when you are feeling unwell. Lots and lots of purrs, best wishes and gentle hugs, Polonca and Soncek |
