Took one of our pair to the vet on Friday. Got back from work on Thursday and Gizmo ( aged 12) was whining and whinging. Didn't think much of it as he is a noisy cat particularly when his litter brother Rocky has spent the day in the garden avoiding him and he was still eating and drinking normally. However by Friday Gizmo was still whining even with Rocky around and wouldn't let us touch him even on the head without howling so we ended up taking a trip to the vets. The vet started touching him from his head down feeling for anything obvious and was met with complete silence from the cat. It wasn't till she got to his rear that he let out a howl of pain. Poor little mite had sat on a bee which had promptly stung him :-( :-(

Awwww poor thing :-(

Have you got to put cream on it (eeeuuwww)

Love the total over reaction to you touching him, as opposed to the vet :-D

Thankfully no cream. £40 and an injection and he back to normal 30 minutes later.

score 10 v funny
:-D

Lucky you, (and cat) Tawny :-D :-D

Mister refused his medicated food this morning - in fact none of them ate their food - obviously didn't fancy beef & poultry flavour this morning :-(

....and Betty ('real' name, Violet Elizabeth Bott) has decided the litter tray is for her to poo in - she doesn't pee in it - just poos :-| Oh- and she'll make sure it's 'covered' by scattering litter from one end of the room to the other, before constantly 'tapping' on the cat flap (poor me, I'm too weak to push it open) until I'm driven to distraction and open it for her - so she can go outside!!

Mister (the only reason there is one of these nasty things in my house) has the good manners to only pee in the litter tray, preferring to do the 'other' outside. George avoids it. Won't even consider using it. Not for him.

Our defective cat is litter obsessed. Now that I realise she has such trouble pooping, I guess she has just thought up things to do to keep from getting bored while in the litter box giving it a go.

Do you remember in the movie Close Encounters of the Third Kind, where people all over the earth were creating images of a big mesa? Like Richard Dreyfuss did in his lounge:

This cat is obviously predicting the coming of aliens. She builds mesas in her litter box ...

Tawny ... cat sat on a bee. There has to be some sort of prize for that. Booby prize. ;-)

Joonie - new keyboard needed coffee over this one!! :-D

Mister only has his back end in the tray when he goes.
