Micah's Vet Visit

[batgirl1980]

Yay! I'm glad he had a good visit. His poor lil bum bum though! Poor little guy. Hoping it gets better real quick for him.

Congrats again on getting him, and congrats to Micah for getting such a wonderful home!!!

Thanks so much, everyone!! I really appreciate all the kind words and advice. I'm off to do some more Aby research in a second.

Yea, I knew this breed was very small, somewhat similiar to the Russian Blues, right? He really LOOKS undernourished. The vet was amazed that he was 3 1/2. When she was feeling his body, she kept saying he seemed undernourished.

The vet recommened that I free feed his dry I/D and then give him the wet a couple times a day. When I woke up, I got him about 1/3 of the can and he WOLFED it down...poor, poor little guy. I hope that with time, he'll understand that food is always there for him. I've been free feeding him the Royal Canin prior to this, and he ate as he wanted but really ate the chicken and cat milk VERY fast.

Anyway, some good news! He slept with me last night!!!!! (If I could fill up this whole page with happiness, I would!!)

So neat that he slept in your bed! He knows whom to trust

[Miss Meow]

Good boy Micah! He seems to know that he's found his fur-ever home

He knows what you did for him. He will be eternally gratefull and stick to you like velcro. Sometimes there are very special cats with whom you form an inexplicable bond. This happened to me with a cat I looked after for a friend for two months one summer. I had to give Kashmir (she was a siamese a.k.a. velcro kitty) back. We were both traumatized by the seperation and it took months for us to get over this. I would visit my friend who lived in another city mainly to spend time with her cat. You two have many happy years. Hope he gets along well with the other cats and they are accepting of him. Are they showing any interest as to who is behind the door ?

They kind of know he's there, but only cause they see me bringing food in there and cat litter out. Basie will usually sit at the door while I'm in there and will utter a few cries.

Haven't done any introductions yet, I want him to feel happy and at home first.

[wolflady]

How cute!! I'm glad that he's getting all settled in and Basie seems interested in "the kitty behind the curtain"! LOL I think Micah and Basie will get along great and will be great friends! How cute! Do let us know when you start the introductions, and be sure to have Basie go first!

I haven't been on the boards for awhile so I missed all the excitement concerning Micah! Congrats Kelly! Look at that, I go away for awhile and you get yourself 2 kitties. I better not go away again or you'll have to move to a bigger household!



When Nakita was at the vets the last time he was concerned about her weight and was going to order all these blood tests. He's never seen a Russian Blue before so I called my breeder and asked what her weight should be. That's when she told me that Nakita was the correct weight and will probably be 6 pounds or less full grown since her mom is just a little over 5 pounds. Just a small breed.

Since I'm so behind on posts, how is Oliver making out? The last I read you were worried about him adjusting in being in a multi-cat household.
