Zippy-Kat's K'Cee Kitty Get Well Soon Thread

[Barbara]

Thank you guys, again, for your well wishes and concerns. It's amazing how many people will pray for one small cat that they don't even know.

It's simply not true that we don't know here. I know many kitties here for a long time and I know more about their purrsonality and character than about the cats of some friends whom I do not see that often
And here I know that everyone feels exactly like I do about their kitties.

Filou survives now 4 years of CRF and we rather do not follow any diet anymore. It is extremely important that he doesn't lose weight and so he gets his favorite food. I am glad to say that Royal Canin Renal dry food is among his favorites - but with all the other food it changes. He now likes a German organic food called Yarrah- but this may change next week.

In general, cat food shouldn't contain any veggie parts, so if you feed the cat food to dogs it is better to mix it with some flakes. But dogs being the vacuum cleaners they are will love it

Ha, I can identify with a cat only wanting bad catfood. My Louis is 19 and skinny as a rake. He will only eat Whiskas in a pouch. It was only pate for a while now he will eat the bites type. Luckily his 20 year old "sister" will eat anything, so it doesn't go to waste.

All the best to K'Cee, hope she has a complete recovery.

I also missed this earlier.

I'm sending lots of positive thoughts to K'Cee for a full recovery. It's good to hear the vet was pleased with her bloodwork. I hope K'Cee will keep eating, even if it's "junk" food - she has to build up her stamina.

Give her some kisses from me and Fister.

Thought you guys might like a laugh...

I have always sang to my animals. Always. And especially to my horse if she's antsy while I'm in the saddle. (I've found it's hard to be nervous and sing at the same time. Unless, of course, you're on the verge of a rodeo and the only song you can think of is "Giddy up Jingle Horse, pick up your feet!" I digress....)

Miss Hiss really doesn't like her clavamox (UTI antibiotic) AT ALL and has become quite vocal about it. So, in the spirit of positivity, we developed a new song (to the tune of "If You're Happy and You Know It"):

Here's your Princess Potion,
Drink it down.
Here's your Princess Potion,
Drink it down.
If you take it with some grace
It won't end up on your face.
So here's your Princess Potion,
Drink it down!


There are several variations of this... one for food ("If you're hungry and you know it/Eat your food..."), one for water ("If you're thirsty and you know it/Drink your water..."), and a general catch all ("If you're happy and you know it/Say "Meow, meow!"). Sanity. So highly over-rated!

We've had a fabulous morning! She's almost back to the "normal" Kissiekat, save she's not eating as much (but she IS eating!) so she's pretty thin underneath all that fluff and she's not as energetic. That said, we did play a little bit -- that's the first that that's happened in a few days.

I haven't posted any pictures recently. Here's a couple from this morning.





Thank you for your continued prayers!

I LOVE the songs!!! I may have to steal them for my babies.

Great pics of Miss Hiss! Please deliver a big kiss on her sweet head from me!!! Lots of prayers still on the way!!!

What we won't do for our FurKids.

Sounds like you're BOTH feeling a LOT Better!
Give KissieKat a gentle *smootch* on her snooter (use appropriate caution)
and take a Bigg {{{Hug}}} for yourself.

It's so hard being the purrfect princess and keeping all your subjects on their toes in spite of feeling a bit under the weather Oh the things we must endure

You're looking gorgeous KC and so glad to hear everything is on the mend. Indulge your mama - she really is giving you all her best sweetie.

Hugs and healing thoughts to you and your mama little one

Oh Tonya......you are one of a kind....that's why I wuv you so much!!!!! I just sang the song and could visualize.....

I'm so happy that KissieKat is making her way back to normal - whatever that is! I do notice though that her collar is red - shouldn't she be adorned with a pretty pink one or does she have an array of colours to be worn according to her preference that day????

Kisses to you pretty Princess. Continue to get better and for God's sake - eat more!!!

[zippy-kat]

I do notice though that her collar is red - shouldn't she be adorned with a pretty pink one or does she have an array of colours to be worn according to her preference that day????

Actually in person, it's a rosey-pink. But yes, we do have an array of collars ( ) ... all in a some form of pink.


She really hasn't ate much today. I know the vet said to expect it but it's still worrisome. She used to hang about 13lbs... she's done to about 9lbs. (I asked how low was too low; the vet said he didn't want to see her below 6lbs.)

I picked up a bag of Purina One (thanks for the recommendation) and it's "tolerable." I still get the "I want the junk food" look but she will nibble at it. I took the Friskies completely away last night. Now, she's bouncing between Purina One, Nutro, and The GoodLife Recipe. I bought some chicken liver but really don't expect her to eat it; the only people food she'll eat is popcorn and, occasionally, cheerios. (No hamburger, no steak, no chicken breast.... the girl is PICKY!)

Thanks again... will check in sometime soon.
