Seems that either you or Othello should have studied this info: http://www.flippyscatpage.com/straycats.html :-) How are the girls taking their new brother?

LOL! The girls are not allowed to see him or get near him until he gets a clean bill of health. He feels very warm to me, but his eyes look clear and he has no coughing or wheezing, so maybe it's my imagination, but still I won't take any chances with my babies!

Vet always looks at me funny when I claim I can tell if they have a fever just by holding them. But I'm never wrong. It may just be from stress from the fleas though. Its cheaper to have the vet clear one than to treat four as well. Hope he is healthy. Is he as coal black as the pictures? He will be so gorgeous when he fills out.

I wish I had one of those ear thermometers. I really do think he has a fever. He was sitting in my chair and when I moved him and sat down I could feel the heat on my butt!

Do those things work on cats? I once tried an ear thermometer for people on my Spotsie [0], just to see how it would do, and got a 98.1 F reading, which is obviously low for a cat. Cats hate things to be put inside their ears almost as much as they hate things to be put inside their other end. [0] I didn't name her. >> I wish I had one of those ear thermometers.

That's where my Baggy is lucky, he has the new type of microchip where the vet can take his temperature by scanning him. SignatureAdrian (Owned by Snoopy & Bagheera) A house is not a home, without a cat. Random FYI: Our pediatrician has indicated that the in-your-ear thermometer wasn't accurate for humans. >>I wish I had one of those ear thermometers. I really do think he has a >>fever.

Our TED using ear thermometers, but they're not the same ones you can use on hoomins. I remember reading the name on his and it had something to do with veterinarians, but can't remember now what the brand name actually read.

So, many purrs for a good vet visit from TED!

He too was covered in fleas. He also had a serious infestation of ear mites (and no ear drums left as a result). I'm not kidding when I say that after a liberal dousing of Frontline I combed over 50 dead fleas off him :-( I went through the bit of getting in contact with local police, vets & shelters, notifying that I'd found this kitten if anyone reported their kitten missing. I was glad he wasn't claimed as I was reluctant to be in a position of handing him over to someone who had obviously cared so little for his welfare & health. He also purred constantly when shown even a smidgen of affection :-) Basically, the flea infestation had made him very weak and run down. The ear mite infestation didn't help, but the fleas were literally draining him of life :-( It took nearly a year of TLC to get him up to full-health & fitness, but it was worth it. He turned into the sweetest-natured cat ever. If you keep the kitten, great, but I do understand completely if you can't. They are a long-term committment that requires money, not just love. Cheers, helen s [[If you keep the kitten, great, but I do understand completely if you can't. They are a long-term committment that requires money, not just love.]] Agreed on both counts. But at least we know that NOW the little guy has found some people who'll make SURE he has a good home, be it with them or with another family. He won't be left to fend for himself the way his previous humans, whoever they were, might have done. (GRRRRRR on people who dump pets.) Either way, this little cutie is in good shape. :o) Donna, Captain, and Stanley >>> Seems that either you or Othello should have studied this info: >>> http://www.flippyscatpage.com/straycats.html [quoted text clipped - 36 lines] > > Cheers, helen s I agree they require money, but it's money well spent.
