Please keep Pouncer in your prayers.

Pouncer Angel is rallying All of her Angel Friendsand we are all Praying that Little Pouncer will be All Right.
That Poor Little Tabby has been through an awful lot in the last few years and we are hoping that the Vet will hit on the right meds so Pouncer gets relief at last.

Why does it have to be money up front? If you talk to your vet in advance, will s/he work w/you re payments? I sure hope Pouncer feels better soon. Sending lots of prayers his way.

Poor lil guy. Thoughts and prayers coming from Connecticut.

Well, I started him on Clavimox this afternoon and he's looking mighty pitiful tonight. If I didn't know any better I'd SWEAR he's playing the sickie role for affection. I swear this boy is eating up the attention, even enjoying being pilled.

Hubby made an astute observation this afternoon as well.... Pouncer has a habit of getting locked in the basement we have no idea HOW he gets locked in the basement but he manages to do so with incredible frequency. It seems he always gets sick a few days after being locked out. I'm guessing the stress of being locked out makes him sick?

He was locked in the basement twice this week alone; yesterday, Harry told us that Pouncer was locked in the basement. So I asked hubby if perhaps we should install a kitty door that lets him OUT of the basement but keeps them from going TO the basement. I keep a litterbox and water down there for him since he does happen to get locked down there a lot.

I'll be buying a cat door tomorrow (thank goodness I get 30% off at Petsmart tomorrow!) and I'll be buying another cat tree.... originally $140, on clearance for $65 and with my discount and coupons I'm getting it for $40. We also think he stresses when bullied out of the cat tree by one of the orange boys (who shall remain nameless) so we decided to get a second cat tree with plenty of shelves for everyone.

Boy, trying to figure out what stresses out Pouncer is stressing out ME! I really don't care about cost since he's definately worth it, but man, I'd like to catch my breath for a little while first!

Sounds like Pouncer is doing a good job of keeping you on your toes. I have a cat door that can go both ways or only in or out. But my cats hate it and refuse to use it. At first I thought they didn't know how so I started shoving all 8 of 'em (at that time) through the door. It made me laugh because I felt like I was making sausages and feeding meat through the casings. Anyhow, I've had it for 2 1/2 years and none of them have used it. I hope Pouncer figures it out. Good luck.

I hope that Pouncer will feel better soon. Lots of prayers and positive thoughts are being sent his way.

Awe, poor Pouncer. I can't believe that your vet wouldn't find a way to fit you in knowing how sick Pouncer gets so quickly! I hope he'll be ok until you can get the surgery for him.

About the cat door, I had one of those swingy doors on the covered litter boxes, and I thought that would work really well. Hmpf... They refused to use them!!! Either they didn't get the door, or they didn't like being "trapped" in there. Ended up just taking them off and going back to just the covered boxes with no swinging door.
