    Freedom and Scooter

    Since Scooter has grown and put on a few pounds we have been able to keep the extra small diapers on him now. He is actually relating the diapers to freedom and will jump up for me to put them on him. It's really cute. Here he is exploring the kitchen counters.

    I almost feel SAD for him...but he doesn't seem to mind them at all, does he?

    What a cute little fella!

    So the vets figure he's incontinent for life?

    Give him a hug for me - Cole's baby brother!

    Awwwww!! Another special kitty! I also missed Scooters story, but have friends with links galore, and a terrific website about caring for incontinant etc. pets....www.handicappedpets.com Check out the 'Discussion Board' for answers to any question concerning diapering etc. Great input from persons all over the world giving special kitties a chance...now what's Scooter's story? Purrsonaly I think every PTer should have at least ONE special needs kitty, or dog....

    Scooter was a feral at the park where our colonies reside. He was TNR'd along with his mom and 2 siblings. A couple months later we noticed he seemed to keep trying to go to the bathroom so we tried to recapture him. It took us a bit, but finally succeeded. After the vet exam it was discovered he had a deformed penis, of all things, and we could either have surgery or have him put down. Since he was feral we weren't really sure what would be best, but being the soft hearts that we are, we opted for surgery. He's doing well other than it has left him incontinent and even with medication he still has problems. So he is confined to our room when we're not at home, and now to diapers outside the room when we are. This way we can change them frequently and prevent diaper burn and give him the chance to use the litter box.

    Oh don't feel sad, he is one happy kitty! He doesn't mind the diaper at all, and has befriended Mouser! They run all over tumbling and wrestling. He's so much better off than before!

    Thanks for the link, I will check this out! We did have another incontinent cat, Porch, but he was pretty much secluded to the garage and cat run area. Scooter's still having some issues so we're keeping him confined to the bedroom for observation.

    I don't believe Scooters feral!

    Some before when he first had his surgery and some with fear in his eyes:

    He is such a little cutie patootie, and I'm not surprised he doesn't mind the diapers at all. Animals are so adaptive! And they're also so smart - such a little smarty pants (pun intended ) to have figured out the diapers mean freedom.

    Why am I not surprised he and Mouser are turning into best friends?

    He so lucky to come across you and your husband. He is just so adorable especially with the diaper. Bless your kind heart for taking such good care of him.
