And this person MODERATES a Pet Board????

Perhaps it's neither a urinary tract infection or blocked anal glands? JMTCW - we had a stray-ish cat that came into our house one time, he was a really friendly boy, and he settled in for a cuddle on my lap. When he jumped off, I noticed a horrible smell (I would also describe it as 'rank') and found out that he had a large burst abscess on his rear from a cat fight.

Obviously pus and urine are completely different, and look and smell different but we were always told at the vet clinic to consider all possibilities. Perhaps their cat has a burst abscess? Either way I hope that poor kitty gets sorted before it gets worse.

I give you a lot of credit. I wouldn't be able too hold myself back. We are responsible for our babies and in my book that means that you do every and any thing to care for them. This Saturday I am going to the doctor. First time in over three years because the kids always came first. I just spent $ 375 on ET because I was worried that she might have lost some weight. This included a full exam, blood work and ear mite meds. I don't care her health is the priority. I hope that kitty gets the help it needs and soon.

ITS A SHAME THAT PEOPLE HAVE THIER PRIORITIES SO MESSED UP.
YOUR CATS ARE YOUR FRIENDS AND SHOULD BE WORTH MORE THAN MATERIAL GOODS.
I HOPE THAT THIS POOR CAT DOESNT SUFFER TOO MUCH!

First off - my bad - Angel the cat died of FIP in 2006.

Actually - a member from the same forum emailed me and apologized for butting in - but that she was also disturbed about this, and wanted to report this gal to the Humane Society. But she couldn't find her location in Calgary.

I told her to hang on, and I would email the Animal Bylaw Control guy in Calgary. He is COOL - he is registering for and going to the Best Friends No More Homeless Animals conference in the USA! (His dream is to have 20 acres and open a Best Friends kind of place in Calgary area! )

I've had a meeting and some phone calls with him, so I sent the post to him, and asked who or what should be informed. There is a Responsible Pet Owners in Calgary, and I think they could take her email headers and find her.

That poor cat!
