Decisicion time - Fister!

[Former User]

Randi, I'm glad he's more or less back to normal. Sounds funny how he likes his water in the afternoon, but hey, anything to please these furkids, right

[sirocco]

As you know, Randi, I missed this thread But you see that now I regularly check it !!

I'm very happy to hear that Fister is doing right now!! Keep on the good work - you surely are doing a very very good job trying to make him drink water - quite a deal, too!

Headbumpies and purrs for Fister! Hurrah!!!

Un abrazo,
Nita

Randi, I am so glad to her that your furry friend Fister is doing much better. Since your posting this message, I have put out many small bowls of water around the house, including the porch. The cats are curious and sometimes drink from them at the funniest of times. They need as much water as possible! They love drinking from MY glass, so I often leave full cups of water on table tops... (I hear your minds going a mile a minute, thinking, wow, she must live in a real exciting dump....with lots of buckets of water sitting around....hehehehehe) Actually, I have very attractive bowls, sorta tucked in corners and away from the foot traffic. No one would notice. I bet I have about 6 bowls for 3 cats....and then a couple of cups. WATER - WATER - WATER...

I'm so glad that Fister is doing better. Hopefully he'll get back to normal very soon and stay that way. Please keep us posted.

Oh Randi! I'm so sorry I missed this thread until today
I do hope that Fister is doing/feeling better. I had a male cat sometime ago that had some problems with this, however not as bad. The Science Diet Prescription food was all that he could eat, and NOTHING else (not even treats )

I also heard somewhere that a little apple-cidar vinegar in the water helps (I would check on that before you try anything at this time, since he is so sick) I know the vinegar is quite good for us people for so many things including urinary tract.

Let us know how it goes, and I will be thinking of you and sweet Fister!

Randi, I just tried to PM you and your mailbox is too full to accept anymore.
How is Fister doing?

[AmberLee]

Yoowww!!! Fister, ol' bud, ol' pal!!!! I had no idea you were so sick while I was at the cat spa. How ya doing now bud? Are your human parents still looking at ya funny with the scissors? Be VERY careful, guy. Report back when your mommy isn't watching: I'm very worried about you.

Cassy >^._.^<

I'll be thinking of Fister.

[Randi]

Cassy, it's Fister here. Thanks for your concern, I escaped the scissors this time, though. Thought it would be best for all parts to go and have a pee in the box, and I've have been very good since! My humans get so upset and nerveus when I play this trick on them.

Then yesterday, my humans had dinner guests, I hate that because they get so busy with all kinds of unimportant things and tend to forget about me a bit! And the boring conversations they have! OH my!! They did offer me to go out in the yard, but I wouldn't, because that nasty new male cat Ib was also out there. Instead I took a looong nap in the bathroom. Because of all of this, I thought I'd give them another scare today and haven't peed since yesterday. It's best to choose a saturday morning, because the vet are closed during weekends and I can get my humans to cuddle me and spoil me even more!

Well, lets see how I'm doing in a few days - will let you know!

Purrs and headbumpies to you and Livvy! Give your mum a few too - but don't touch her eyes! .... and tell her we're all very glad to see her back here at PT!

[yorkster]

Fister, you naughty kitty!
Hope you are better today (any pee-pee?)

[Randi]

Yes Yorkster! I peed today - and yesterday!! My humans let me out in the backyard yesterday evening, I had such fun rolling around in the grass and checking everything out under bushes and in the flower beds. Great time!

Randi here! Fister forgot to tell how naughty he was! He wouldn't come up again, so at 23.00 PM I went down to look for him and he sat on a table watching every little movement. He let me stroke him, but when I said: Are you coming up now? he growled at me!! Then an hour later (I was definately ready for bed!) I shook the dry food container and he came running. Down the stairs again, but he hasn't finished looking around yet - might still be something interesting , so I lost my patience and put something in the door and went back up. 10 min. later, there he was, in the middle of the living room. So, time to rush to the kitchen and close the door!!

Hi, Fister! Sirocco here! I admire you sooo much, I've been reading your coming and goings when Nita left the PC unattended... hehe, and I'm a good pupil - I've invented a Spanish version of your wanderings. We don't have backyards here... but I've discovered the FLAT ROOF - all Triana roofs are under my feet now I know how to meow in the most pitiful way to make her open the door to the flat roof and let me spend some time inspecting the surroundings!!! It is very funny: the other night I spent an hour looking at the moon from a chimney near my house and Nita was standing there so close, but she couldn't reach me, calling my name to make me go back, jeje Very funny indeed!

Headbumpies from your pal,
Siro

Nita here... oh Randi, I know that too well - Now that Siro loves going up to the flat roof (which is a nightmare for I can't prevent the rest of my neighbours to go there and open the door when they have to hang the washing out! and now Sirocco recognizes the sound the door makes when opening and there he goes in his very own fast and sneaky fashion ) I have to be always on the alert! And when I see him back, I rush to the stairs to close the door!! (It's quite tiring too, being up and down the stairs all the time )

Mmm, very funny indeed (!?)

yes, aren't the kitties GOOD at doing that?

[Randi]

Hola Sirocco! Fister here. I'm glad to hear you've invented a spanish version and have found a good place to go! Us cats we need a bit of fresh air and exercise now and again, so I can definately relate! It must be quite a good view you have from the rooftops of Triana - I'm a bit envious! How I would love to sit there with you and look at the moon, it's so romantic! - but I have to remind you to be careful up there, don't go too close to the edge, it's probably a long way down and you can hurt yourself!

Ps. Have you met any other cats up there? I hope not!!

So you take care!

Lots of headbumpies and purrs from you pal,
Fister
