Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / February 2005Casey is home! :-D (long)
Hi all, Thanks so much for all the purrs and support that everyone has given me. I would have been a lot more stressed if it weren't for you guys. And thanks to you guys I picked up the signs soon enough, since there's occasionally talk about blockages here, and helped me realize what was going on. Casey is very very happy to be home. Randa (the 4 yr old tortie calico) has been growling at him a bit, even tho I tried the towel thing...but only hissed once, so hopefully she's not wary for too long. Molly (5 mos. old kitten) is just happy to see him. She was such a cry baby while he was gone, walking around constantly just squeaking....poor baby girl, she's such a sook. ;-) So, the vet has put Casey on MediCal Dissolution Formula, canned with dry to nibble on while I'm at work during the day (both are the aforementioned formula). The vet said that the girls shouldn't really be eating this stuff, (they'll be able to all eat the same once we have the month checkup, and we'll go to a different prescription food that is called Medical Preventitve Formula for all. So...any suggestions on how to feed Casey separate from the girls??? I think the only way to do it is to separate Casey from the girls during the day while we're at work, but I feel that's kind of mean, as he's quite a social kitty, and would miss the interactions, especially since him and the kitten are such good friends. And the kitten would miss him too, she's not near as attached to Randa as she is to Casey. Anyway, all is looking ok on the homefront now, the remainder of the bill isn't so horrible, (around $500 CDN), and is less because of the help of the people that were so sweet to contribute. Casey has been purring tonnes to thank all of you. Oh yeah, all the girls at the vet clinic fell in love with him today (altho they liked him alot before, they just thought he was a grumpy type), cause they saw the real Casey once he wasn't in pain anymore and all of the gear had been removed from him so he was rolling around for them, showing his tummy, giving headbutts and tonnes of purrs. hehehehe That's totally my boy. Mr. Social Butterfly. So....to wrap up, any suggestions or advice is welcome and encouraged. :-) Cheers, Carrie (and Casey)  Signature"Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, chocolate in one hand, martini in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming "WOO HOO what a ride!" > Hi all, > [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > walking around constantly just squeaking....poor baby girl, she's such a > sook. ;-) YEah!!!!!

I don't know about your cats, but when I am not home work hours, they mostly sleep. He will still be recovering so I don't think it's a real bad idea, and not too hard on him actually. > Anyway, all is looking ok on the homefront now, the remainder of the bill > isn't so horrible, (around $500 CDN), and is less because of the help of the [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > tummy, giving headbutts and tonnes of purrs. hehehehe That's totally my boy. > Mr. Social Butterfly. Wow if he was rolling and showing his belly he is recovering well. Very nice to hear. How long does he have to be on that food? That's wonderful news! Kitty Dance of Joy, Human Dance of Joy! :o) As far as feeding Casey special food that the other kitties can't have, I fear that the only way to accomplish that is to segregate him from the other two at mealtimes. The good news is that at least it's only for a few weeks. They'll forget all about it as soon as they can eat the same food again and are back together during mealtimes. I'm glad Casey is at home and is doing so much better. Donna, Captain, and Stanley > Hi all, > > Thanks so much for all the purrs and support that everyone has given me.

How about the info for the clinic. Some of us would still like to help. Sam, closely supervised by Mistletoe >> Hi all, >> [quoted text clipped - 10 lines] > How about the info for the clinic.

Congratulations to your family and please give him a hug and a kiss for me from me and Chloe & Tyrone. kili I'm so glad he's home and doing well. Yea so glad that he is home with his Meowmie. Purrs that everything is going well. > Hi all, > [quoted text clipped - 41 lines] > Cheers, > Carrie (and Casey) I'm *SO* glad Casey is home and feeling better - man did we need some good news on this group, it's been kind of grim lately. I don't think separation during the day will be too hard for them, my cats mostly sleep all day anyway. As long as they have their social time at night they should be fine.

I thought I had replied earlier. Here's hoping that Casey is himself again real soon. Regards and Purrs, O J > Hi all, > > Thanks so much for all the purrs and support that everyone has given > me.

I only have one cat so I don't know about keeping the others away but it seems (sadly) segregation is the way to go, at least until they are all able to eat the same thing.

So...any suggestions on how to feed Casey separate from the > girls??? <snip> Sorry, missed the original post about Casey's illness. My Fizzgig is permanently on special diet food for preventing crystals. He gets fed separately in the powder room off of the kitchen, while Pippin and Mithu eat their food. When everyone is done, the dry food gets picked up and put away so Fizz can't eat it. We don't leave food out at all outside of meal times. Don't know if that would work for you, but it's working well for us, although Mithu would tell you that he is starving all the time. -Caroline S. Hey Caroline, It's just something that they're not used to, but, they could get used to it I'm sure. I can't handle keeping Casey in my room every night. Woke me up every hour for more cuddles (which was really sweet and nice), but this meowmie needs her sleep. ;-) I'll give what you're doing a try. Hopefully it'll work.

Glad to hear Casey is home. Rusty did well for years on canned Medical Preventitve after his second blockage. Yes cats can get blocked more than once. You have to monitor Casey's litter box habits closely. Make sure he drinks lots of water. I mix distilled water with Rusty's canned food.
