for we two - i would love having a edit button here
We need that - animal rescue associations are few and quite poor here in Brazil.Dont think move to here will be worth of.No one is powerful enough to vigilate Hollywood movies or so,like the ones you have.
I always though exactly the opposite, cats are more popular in USA, O should be there.
Opus, you dont need envy me- just pay the "mailing" expenses and I will be very happy in sending you a cute new one if they came ;-)
About keeping her inside,she will HATE and Get a lot stressed, I
dont thing will be good for you two.I live in that house fot a long time and somtimes hate to be there, why should i expect a free cat would enjoy that?
I just did it once, the day she was clinging the window to enter and put her in the bathroom.She likes to enter but for sure would not like to be kept inside for a long.
Today news: its a rainy day and she was laying in one of her boxes.Hope dont rain too much cos is the one not much protected and she seens so happy there...Sunny days she solemly ignore all of them.
WOW, you get a free vet visit if you pay for one???? That would NEVER happen in the US. HMMMMM, should we move to Brazil? LOL
Apple, I have to agree that you really should keep Loreena in so that she doesn't get pregnant-if she's not now. You can make your home safe for cats, right?
valid - not void Guess I'm going crazy... :-)
Let me explain better. I dont know how things are in your country, but here we used to have a second appointment for free after paying one. Its void for a month and called RETORNO , maybe would be calles FOLLOW UP MET in English.
Humans doctor do the same.
I have/had one after the one i had paid for. Now i'm not sure about, but the vet is cool, maybe ... I will sent her the news.
No way I cant keep L. inside She wouldnt accept, and its not really safe for her .House is small ande full of traps for curious stray cats.
Loreena looks great, a lot of appetite and yesterday was QUITE ATHETIC for a mother to be...
See you !
Hi again, I'm not sure what free appointments you have available there???
could it be what is called an 'initial examination?'
If you are not for sure that she is pregnant it would be a very good idea that you keep her inside and away from all other cats especially males!
if she isn't pregnant now she will soon be unless she has been spade.
I wish you luck and hope for you both that you can get a free vet visit there.
take care and keep us posted
Thanks
Problem is that is very hard to believe shes pregnant now - specially today shes quite "athletic" and belly doesnt seen soo big now.She's all big - but not fat.
And keeps a strange relationship with some cats around - she likes them near and look for - but its all.. No "meowing party" ,no love (not that I know)- and everytime I hear a cat meow is from the other, not hers.
Guess she's a real princess and the sudits came just to see her :-)
Weird, no?
My only worry is if she's not pregnant now and the anticonceptional fails she 'll get babies in the future and I dont think someone with kids will wait til there.No to mention I was expecting to use the vet free appointment (the one you have for free in a month- please tell me how its word in English)
Til the next
oh the anticipation...waiting to see these babies..I envy you right now!!
best to mommy and gramma!!
No babies yet - I started believing it was false alarm
In meantime someone tried to poisoning her (bacon with rats poison), the stepmother (me) had some terrible moments after the shock but SHE DIDNT EAT AND ITS SAFE AND SOUND! THANK GODNESS!
Lost her rabies vaccine time, smart one.I Cant give her til knowing about the babies for sure..
Btw, got home for one baby.A good one were kids are waiting for and the person is my friend.
Oh my, PETZI .I should practice typing faster... :-)
Tks,dear
By the way, the drugs name is Petzil and I called the vet , she said its ok so I gave her today.
I will be back with news.
I'm afraid Thomas will have to answer your questions abt the medication.
I just wanted to say how great it is of you to take this poor little one in and give her a good home....it is a hard thing to do when money is short, so just do your best dear and she will love you with all her heart.
Make sure and let us all know when babies come and God I hope u can find good homes for these poor little creatures as well.
good luck, and bless ya
Thank you very much for your answer and supporting! Surely we will do a better job together...
When I told you I can count with a vet here means i can call her and i have one return ( not sure how do you say this in english - the new met for free during a month).She is kind (vet) and don't charge toooo much to see Loreena at home, both things extremely needy for me.
The girl is lovely but not exactly "domestic" and and transporting her would be a hell!
"Bout the food,its dry cat food , I cant give you the name 'cos my cousin was bringing that for me from her shop' and they sell it shop packed - I can ask her but not sure if will help since must be a brazilian product.For sure is not the best ( I wish it could be) but probably is not the worst since she loves pets as well. Doesnt have cats,however- just dogs , fishes ,birds (including a rooster);
Did a fast search about Science Diet.I dont think my vet will know about
Could not find info about slams .What is this? If t use capital letter got a interesting answer but for sure is not what you mean.
I completely agree with you about overweight, and since i personaly am slim,always avoided giving as much as she wishes, even shes not being fat.Pregnancy changed things a little bit,but I will take care,Also because if she is NOT pregnant,obesity can cause other troubles ,,,
BTW, I forgot to ask the vet if I should give the cat the second pill for worms (Pretzil -for cats about 5kg) L.took the first day 10 because we were suspecting of worms before calling the vet .2nd dosis was suppose to be 15 days later
Should give ger or no?
Well Its all by now.Sorry if i not reply your msgs faster,please keep in mind that its not my fault and I WILL DO,sooner or later.Even if not logged I will be reading all posts .
Once more, thanks and a lovely bite from Loreena!!!
Thank you so much for being so giving and helping out this little kitty!
What kind of food are you feeding her? Pregnant cats do well on kitten food because it has higher calories and a higher level of energy. I would find a good premium kitten food ( not sure if Iams or Science Diet are available in Brazil...you might ask your veterinarian) and give her the recommended feeding on the bag.
Just like with us, too many calories will cause her to become overweight and that is not a good thing during pregnancy either. So, I would portion control and try to feed her 2, 3 or even 4 times daily.
Good luck!!
