Cat Forum / Health and Behavior / September 2004Lazy eye kitten
I just trapped a kitten whose right eye doesn't track with her left. Is this a common condition? Will it clear up? Anybody want to see pictures of an adorable wee little gray and white kitten? Anybody want one?  SignatureJohn Kimmel gNuOy_SnPoAiMr@teleport.com "It is bitter--bitter! But I like it-- Because it is bitter-- And because it is my coffee." << Anybody want to see pictures of an adorable wee little gray and white kitten? Anybody want one? >> Yes, to the first question. Sorry, no, to the 2nd. I don't know about the lazy eye thing. Whatever happened to the feral kitty you let loose? Does he still come back to eat? Candace (take the litter out before replying by e-mail) See my cats: http://photos.yahoo.com/maccandace "One does not meet oneself until one catches the reflection from an eye other than human." (Loren Eisely) Pictures are here, get her while she's cute: http://home.teleport.com/~guy_noir/images/livestock/weekitty/ The lazy eye is clearly evident in some of the photos. Shadow, the feral cat with the broken leg is doing ok. When I "released" him, I merely stopped locking him up in the house. He still comes and goes as he pleases, and often sleeps in the laundry room next to the water heater. He still hates me. He still has a fascination for my cat "Pip". He seems to have lost some of his unique personality, though, less cheerful, less affectionate (towards Pip, not that Pip has ever given him any encouragement). I think that being out of circulation for a month resulted in loss of status among the ferals. > << Anybody want to see pictures of an adorable wee little gray and white > kitten?

(Loren Eisely) This is difficult to write with 25 lb. of cats on my lap. I've locked the kitten in the bedroom so I can let my cats have some quality lap time. They're feeling neglected, and are under stress from a new stray who's been coming into the house. They don't like the kitten either. I think they're jealous. I really want to get rid of her while she's still cute. I have plenty of other cats to take care of that are not cute anymore, or even very nice or friendly. I have been taking her to work with me and leaving her for the office staff to try and unload on an unwary visitor, but I think they're sabotaging my effort by bonding with the kitten themselves, even though they won't take it. This one pretty much sums up my feelings on the matter--before you read it, I hereby denounce it as bad poetry in the worst tradition of America's most famous bad poet, Edgar Guest, but it will still make you cry: http://wtv-zone.com/nywoman/PAGES/PAGE32.HTML > << Pictures are here, get her while she's cute: > http://home.teleport.com/~guy_noir/images/livestock/weekitty/ [quoted text clipped - 12 lines] > "One does not meet oneself until one catches the reflection from an eye other > than human." (Loren Eisely) SignatureJohn Kimmel gNuOy_SnPoAiMr@teleport.com I think it will be quiet around here now. So long. << http://wtv-zone.com/nywoman/PAGES/PAGE32.HTML >> Thanks, I didn't feel like crying right now but I bit. Maybe she could be your permanent office cat? There is at least one person on this newsgroup who has indoor, resident cats at her workplace (Liz). I always thought that would be so nice to work in a place like that just so some more kitties could get a home. Maybe someday...

(Loren Eisely) Since the boss is allergic to cats, that suggestion has merit. Come to think of it, I haven't seen much of her in the last week... I'd rather bring in the stray who's been terrorizing my cats, though. He's a big, beautiful orange cat, incredibly friendly, with an oversized head. Of course the "office cat" lobbyists would much rather have the kitten. > << http://wtv-zone.com/nywoman/PAGES/PAGE32.HTML >> > [quoted text clipped - 13 lines] > "One does not meet oneself until one catches the reflection from an eye other > than human."

He's a big, >beautiful orange cat, incredibly friendly, >with an oversized head. He's obviously not neutered. Take him to the vet, get him fixed, and he'll not only lose a) the ability to create more unwanted cats and b) the tomcat jowls. but he'll probably ease up on your cats as well.

It should get better with time. -L. (no kittens for me!) Consult the vet you are working with. Campus Cats has trapped many a feral kitten, yet I've only seen one cock-eyed kitten, and she was a purebred! The condition greatly improved over time. (I did some follow-the-finger eye exercises with her.) Always best to ask your vet, though. Sharon Talbert Campus Cats > I just trapped a kitten whose right eye doesn't track with her left.

Lazy Eye Kitten has a new home with another kitten, two dogs and three human children. I had her a little over a week. From wild, feral kitten she bonded to me in two days. I am surprised at the way I bonded to her, and how much I was hoping I'd be stuck with her. SignatureJohn Kimmel gNuOy_SnPoAiMr@teleport.com A Cherokee First Nations elder was teaching his grandchildren about life. He said to them, 'A fight is going on inside me ... it is a terrible fight and it is between two wolves. One wolf represents fear, anger, envy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self- pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, and ego. The other stands for joy, peace, love, hope, sharing, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, friendship, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion, and faith. 'This same fight is going on inside you and inside every other person. 'The grandchildren thought about it for a minute and then one child asked her grandfather, "Which wolf will win, grandfather?" The old Cherokee simply replied, "The one you feed." > Lazy Eye Kitten has a new home with another kitten, two dogs and three > human children. I had her a little over a week.

Nice job, John. << Lazy Eye Kitten has a new home with another kitten, two dogs and three human children. >> Oh, well, that's a good thing. Right? Congrats on a happy ending.
