omg snip is a humdinger of a putty tat!
Had to show that to Mom!
Now, Teddy is from a Blue point Siamese and a seal point Himalayan and at times his eyes will go from blue, sky blue, clear blue and when his eyes turn pale yellow- get out of his way! Mad or ill. He has the potential of urinary crystals, we really treat him with kid gloves, at 11 years old. Not old by standards of Siamese, but his daddy died in the litter box at 5 yrs old! I assumed it was crystals and we have always watched him closely.
The big joke about this guy is when I had moved out, 2 weeks later mother called and said I needed to take "her" cat to the vets, he is constipated.
Dehydrated, constipated, I left him at the vets, 7 hours later they called me to come get him. 3 enemas and 3 bags of fluid for this guy and he had NOT expelled anything. Poor baby, they gave me a carrier (I use a collar and leash)- good thing, he piddled in the crate, and calling home, mom had the box sitting by the back door, I let him out and he did his business then crawled up in my arms to sleep.
The next time he was constipated, we found he had a UTI and forming crystals. So far so good, its been 3 years
and we feed him the special diet, except he still does get an occasional treat, I am the Sargent on treat patrol! He gets home cooked chicken or raw beef(steak), mom insists on kitty treats and he gets 4 of those. So moderation, vaseline/lax-are and cold fresh water.
Sorry so long, he is my baby although he is my moms cat!
oh, and Fancy is winning my moms heart at this point, pouring on the purring, loving and rubbing where ever mom is! I think its great, she won't poop if I'm not home either. Someone give me a hint...what do I do to these critters?!??!
