Tiki lost 2 of his 9 lives, he's ok so far though

If that had been my cat - or anyone who did not work for a vet - then if we rushed in like you did, a vet would still take the emergency, right?

By all means, a reputable vet would be squeezing you in for an emergency without any hesitation.



I know I'll probably get some angry feelings for this but I am being honest. Tiki will continue to be an indoor/outdoor cat. As some may know from previous posts I have tried to keep Tiki (and Meko) as inside only cats for a long long time, over & over again to no avail. They are both rescued ferals & although they love me & trust me I can not keep them inside. They litterally tears my screens apart & Meko even managed to get out the CLOSED GLASS window THREE different times. They tear up my doors, door & window frames, the carpets near the doors, they meow (and scream) at all hours of the day & night, tear apart the carpets near the doors, and even so, besides all the physical damage they get depressed & mean tempered and worst of all, infact my biggest problem of them all is they dart out the door despite any water guns, shaker jars. Heck Tiki has already managed to partially dart out the door twice today even with his cone on his head. (don't worry he's back in the spare bedroom confinement safe & sound) I just thought I'd give him a chance to stretch his legs & visit us in the rest of the house, that didn't work. lol

They really are a lot happier and besides an accident like this they are extrememly healthy. I've tried many different ways to keep them inside, I"ve spoken to many different vets, trainers & behavorists as well as many cat & pet people & I don't think there is anything I have not tried. I live far back off the road and my cats never wander to far.
