Pushkin, last year's abandoned kitten bought home a little pal last week, obviously said ' I know a place where you can stay' -Could not get anywhere near it under trailer to start with, but it obviously trusts Push and followed him into the garage, and has now progressed into the house. Vet says it is around 7 weeks old - Loves morsels of fish with Kitten Milk so may well call him 'Chips' - Glad to find this thread.
We all sympathise PP, been there 2015, my last border collie was also 17. Got up this morning, went to pick a "leaf" off bedroom floor, only it wasnt a leaf, "someone" had had the ahem "runs", pretty much everywhere, called for assistance, Hubby said "Whose done that" Leo, our toy (phalane) went and jumped straight into the bath, OK, Mum I need a shower, job done, me dog,Hubby bedroom!
PP - I've only just seen this. I'm so sorry but didn't she do well. You too.
Not easy to keep Labs and Retrievers slim. Ours is a proper gannet but we manage to keep him slim and, at roughly 8 or 9 yrs (rescue so guesstimate) he still leaps about like a puppy. He has a special feeding plate to stop him hoovering his kibble. Has to delve for it.
Cosmos kitten has an infected paw pad and has to have meds twice a day plus bathing and dressing of paw. He spends a great deal of time trying lick off his "sock" but it takes him 12 hours which is good timing. Hope it heals cos, if not, they'll remove the pad and it will likely mean he has FIV with low white blood cell counts. Just have to keep him slim and healthy too so he can live a long life.
Biofreak - How clever of Pushkin to find a playmate and bring him home. Fish is not that good for cats so wean him on to meat as soon as possible. Check your regular food for fish content too. Cats are carnivores, not naturally pescatarians. A BBC Trust me, I'm a Vet programme showed that cats which eat fish based foods get kidney problems as they get older. I've had 3 die of kidney failure so this pair are now on meat only.

That's the thing isn't it PP. Knowing when it's time to let them go. She looks like a real character so I hope you have some great memories to ease your loss.
Logan - I have them on Whiskas now with meat or poultry flavours only. Other brands list fish proteins in their ingredients. Have tried online but they all list fish proteins somewhere unless I import from USA so Whiskas it is for now.

Thanks Scroggin, vet said she'll take it out on Monday. Got to get there for 8.30 am. They've had the reception all re firbished,looks very good now.
Obelixx Sorry about Cosmos the kitten. Paws heal very well. I saw that programme, it's very difficult to get cat food without fish in.
Thanks Obes. It was time.
