Freedom and Scooter

**K & L** · 04-05-2006, 10:26 PM

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.

What is the story behind this K&L?

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.

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....

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.

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

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!

Look at this face!!!!

Lisa I could eat that little stinker right up!!!

What a super cute little guy! The diaper only makes him cuter!

You and Kevin never cease to amaze me. Thank you both so much for caring the way you do. Not many people would deal with an incontinent cat...even one in diapers.

Hey K & L

I am adopting an abandoned kitty that has feacal incontinence due to a Tritrichomonas Foetas infection. Do you the pet diapers you are using would work for him too? What brand are you using and are they suitable for chronic diarrhea?

I'm in South Africa and we don't get them here so I'll probaby buy them over the internet. The only thing I'm worried about is that he'll be too small for the XS size. He's a very teeny Devon Rex.

We get them at Petsmart and they have XXS. Scooter was very tiny when we first started using them. I'm sure they would work for you, you would just have to change them more often. It's like a baby, you don't want them to get diaper rash. Good luck and please let me know how it works out.
