LOL...Sadly,most of the kittens left at ASSISI are B&W,all black or all white.All of the tabbies,torties ect have gone.Seems no one wants these little darlings,the little B&W one loves to climb up his cage door!

I daren't show Miss Flaggie the pic of the B&W one -- she'd be on the next flight over. Which is a bit problematic, seeing as she's only 11.

Vets today... Overnight my Mouse developed breathing problems... He has to go back tomorrow for x-rays to get a clearer diagnosis. I was told that sudden onset breathing problems are usually very bad news. I'm trying to be optimistic. He's had two injections and I have the fun of giving him a pill in the morning.

There was a bright part to the visit- the vet complained about my cat. Apparently he is "too happy". She was trying to listen to his heart and lungs but he wouldn't stop purring.

Magrat -

Hope it works out OK, keep us posted.

Magrat,hope puss is OK.

The same thing happened to Orbit a few months before he died,turns out it was renal failure so his little body was retaining water,last vet I saw a few months before thay told me he was overweight but the new vet diagnosed it properly.
(I switched vets as I wasn't too happy with them trying to flog me expensive diet food,and their cattery wasn't the best,the new vet was much better & closer to home,as was the cattery I use now)
Vet prescribed Fortekor & a diaretic to remove the fluids.One tell tale sign is increased thirst & peeing.At one stage I had 2 litter trays in use when I went to work for him.

Mouse has perked up a bit today, probably down to the two injections yesterday. I know he's still poorly though, because he took his tablet without complaint this morning.

Thank you for giving me someone to talk to

That's good news,try crushing the tablet up & mixing it with some pate',I have to do that with Cinders to get her to take her Fortekor when I'm at ASSISI. If you're on Facebook,the's a good cat site there called Purrs;
