The new guy I have to mow my yard was telling me about my neighbor across the field that "found" a dark gray cat with green eyes. Just like the one from the last litter I had here. I had said they moved on and got some flack here that "they" knew what that meant... Well guess what the neighbor sold my kitty to someone that really wanted it!! I have another that is almost the same but it's eyes are bright yellow, not piercing green. I need to protect that kitty!! I expect the others found places where they can get food. From what I am seeing this season, the 2 mama cats are starting to hiss at last season's kittens, I guess to prepare for the new crop this year. They are feral and will move on but I am pissed at the guy that sold my kitty!! Are you still trying to find an organization to TnR before you have an insanely large colony on your hands? You mentioned your neighbors who had the original cat don't help and their food is getting pricey. They may be feral but they rely on humans for food and it's not going to end well if there isn't enough food to go around. 1 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/1668-pets-photos-discussion/page/155/#findComment-7628350

luv2lurk September 13, 2022 Share September 13, 2022 How quickly time flies. Today I had my 5.5 month old kitten spayed. The vet says since she was so active she has to wear a collar for the next 10-14 days. How the vet noticed she was so active during the 3.5 hours she was in the clinic (part time of which should have been under anesthesia) I have no idea. Anyway, upon coming home she decided the best place for a nap was this: Yup the litter box. This kitten has a history of finding comfort in a litter box - she did the same when I first brought her home (apparently when she was younger she used to play with her siblings in one) Good thing I dumped the old litter, cleaned and put fresh litter in while she had surgery this morning. Anyway I have never had a cat/kitten with an E collar before. Since coming home Selene walked right past food and water bowls to the litter box and has not eaten/drunk since then. She is now thankfully out of the box and sleeping on the couch. My question is - do they figure out how to eat/drink with the collar? She was clearly thirsty this am before we went to the vet and jumped up on the kitchen counter to try to drink from empty bowls (I had to remove food/water at 9pm last night in prep for surgery).

Bastet September 13, 2022 Share September 13, 2022 They usually figure it out, but if she has trouble and she's someone who will eat her food in one or two sittings (rather than grazing a little at a time), it may be easiest to take the cone off, let her eat, and then put it back on. She may not want to eat or drink yet tonight, given the anesthesia. Once she's ready, if she tries and fails, help her maneuver the cone around the bowl/plate. If that doesn't work, you can remove and replace, so long as you can supervise while eating so she doesn't get at the stitches. (I made "cone bowls" years ago that are two plastic bowls screwed into a block of wood several inches high that are wrapped in non-slip shelf liner -- they're small enough for the cat to be able to put their face in the food/water with the cone clearing the bowl and its base without hitting the floor, and the liner means they stays in place if they get knocked by the cone as the cat learns how to get into position -- but if possible I just take the cone off for feeding and let them eat out of their regular bowl.) And, yes, some of them take to their litter boxes when they are uncomfortable physically or emotionally. It seems she's one of them who takes comfort there -- good she's already moved to the couch. 3 2 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/1668-pets-photos-discussion/page/155/#findComment-7647964

I think it might have something to do with leaving the incision open to air for faster healing. Anyway after watching only four days of this (10 more days to go), I think whoever invented the cone meant to subject kittens to cruel and unwarranted punishment. Yes, by the next day she was eating and drinking normally. And she is much less active than normal. But she still gets up from sleeping to help me go to the bathroom 😁 It's like watching a three year old wearing a football helmet as a Halloween costume. Jumping up, no problem, jumping down limited peripheral vision and no working whiskers is done very slowly. The saddest thing - when she tries to scratch her ears and hits the cone instead.

At least she has stopped trying to take it off but licks it trying to groom herself 🥲 If she's not walking around in reverse trying to back out of this horrible contraption, she's acclimated well. They make better options than the cone, from a soft version of it to the inflatable donut to the "recovery suit" (although that doesn't allow as much air to the healing incision, so it's a mixed bag -- plus, most cats don't like being decked out in clothing any more than they like a cone, given how it restricts their bathing), but as a one-off she'll do just fine and it will quickly be a faded memory. And it's highly likely to be more like ten at most rather than 14 days for her to heal. You'll be able to see and feel the incision, and possibly give her supervised cone-free time accordingly at that point. Once it's off, she's going to take the world's greatest bath and take the world's greatest nap. 5 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/1668-pets-photos-discussion/page/155/#findComment-7652808

theredhead77 September 18, 2022 Share September 18, 2022 My kitten-cat (now 7 y/o) refused to wear the cone after he was neutered, and he refused to "take it easy". The vet told me to keep an eye on him but he ended up fine. He had emergency surgery about 5 years ago and he again refused to wear the collar. I was in tears trying to get him to keep it on and he ripped out his stitches from scratching. The vet ended up using staples and made him a little shirt that he couldn't get out that went on over the bandages. He healed up without issues and was back to his old self within a few days of getting his "shirt", despite having staples. 4 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/1668-pets-photos-discussion/page/155/#findComment-7656518
isalicat September 19, 2022 Share September 19, 2022 My giant tom cat from when we lived in the mountains got into a fight with somebody and came home with a big hole and incipient infection. Naturally I rushed him off to the vet - they kept him overnight and sewed him up and sent him home with a drain in his upper neck and the cone on - this was two days before we were scheduled to go on a two week trip to Europe and he was going to be boarded during that time. He spent the night he got home whacking the cone against anything and everything, including the washer and dryer (boom! boom!) and since we clearly could not let him out, he was also super upset about that despite a nice new litter box to use. There was no possibility of sleeping through this and so the second day (a day before we actually left) I took him to the cat hotel (run by two ex-vet techs) and they took him a day early and wound up as the very best solution - they got his meds in and eventually took the drain out at the appropriate time. I came home to a happy healed cat and am forever grateful to those lovely ladies. 1 2 6 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/1668-pets-photos-discussion/page/155/#findComment-7656821
