Another 'stray' pet cat has turned up here...

[Meowy Catkin]

I can't see the photos.

Do you have photobucket (or similar)? If 'yes' you can copy&paste the IMG code in the forum reply box. Or you can upload photos from your computer into an album on your forum profile, which people can then look at.

Wow he must be my strays twin!
this is midge who turned up on my doorstep two years ago.... same story as yours really.
Incidently I thought mine was a tabby but was informed he is a maine ****.
I hope he is as loving as midge is ,,,,,,,,ive had a few visitors who came and stayed for life during my lifetime too!

 

[luckyoldme]

oh no and now I have written a racist word ^!

 

[Adopter]

FC have changed setting in Album, hope this sorts it. Took me ages to fathom how to up load to album with my tablet!

How is the cat this morning, We had a wonderful Tabby cat who lived to be 18.

 

[Meowy Catkin]

He had a fit this morning. I'm quite worried but I've spoken to the Vet and they want me to just let him recover quietly. Stressing him might spark another fit, so they don't want to see him unless he doesn't recover.

ETA -A and LOM - beautiful cats. Thanks for sharing.

 

[Adopter]

Oh dear, hope knowing he is cared for will have a positive effect and he is ok.

 

[Pinkvboots]

Good on you Faracat for taking him in, Hope he stays healthy I like the name Noel

 

[Meowy Catkin]

He's had another fit. I checked him and he was disoriented and had blood pouring from his mouth. He could have bitten his tongue, but I don't know as looking in his mouth isn't an option. I'm taking him to the Vets in a minute.

Trying not to cry.

 

[TrasaM]

Am crossing everything for you and little furry. Xx

 

[MadBlackLab]

Ah hun fingers crossed he will be ok

 

[Arizahn]

Oh no, have everything crossed for him

 

[pines of rome]

Oh no, I do hope he will be ok, did the vet say how old he might be? One of mine has had little strokes and he is totally out of it for a little while, no blood though, lets hope he bit his tongue and it is nothing more serious!
Fingers crossed for the little chap!x

 

[Goldenstar]

I hope this works, I am not good with technology!

My two rescue cats who were supposed to be outside/stable cats, as you can see that did not last long. Ginger tom was completely ferral and took longer to trust us.

Hope your new arrival is feeling better, and keeping his food down now.

They look just like my outside cat presently asleep by the log burner
Faracat , that's a lovely cat I hope the others accept him .

 

[Meowy Catkin]

I'm sad to say that he's been PTS. The Vet said that there was something seriously wrong and with two fits in one day, it was only a matter of time before it happened again. The only good thing is that he didn't slowly starve to death which was on his cards before he came here.

I'm really gutted.

 

[pines of rome]

I am so sorry, how very sad, at least he found some food and kindness , the short time he was with you! x

 

[TrasaM]

Aw Hun.. How sad for you. I wasn't optimistic when I saw your post about fits as this happened to my daughters cat a couple of years back and he didn't recover either. But at least as you say he's not suffered any further and you'd kept him warm and cared for since he landed on your doorstep xx

 

[Arizahn]

RIP little stranger Take care, Faracat.

 

[Maisie2]

Oh how sad. At least the poor cat knew a bit of love and care at the end a nd didn't starve slowly to death. Well done you for your kindness.

 

[luckyoldme]

so sorry to hear that, but like others have said at least he knew some kindness in his last couple of days.

 

[MadBlackLab]

Sorry to hear that but least you made his last few das comfortable with food and warmth you have to remember that. RIP little one

 

[Meowy Catkin]

Thanks everyone. I can't believe how attached I got to him in such a short space of time.

 

[Adopter]

So very sorry, I echo others comments, he knew kindness at the end, you did your best for him.

Take care sending hugs.

 

[Hairy Old Cob]

Very Sorry for You

 

[Jnhuk]

Big hugs.

Doesn't matter how long or little you've known them, cats just leave big paw prints on your heart.

 

[touchstone]

Oh Faracat I'm so sorry, it really is amazing how quickly they wheedle their way into our hearts; at least he went knowing some comfort thanks to you.

As an aside, I've managed to trap the feral - he's currently in an open carrier inside a dog crate in my sons bedroom until we get him to the vets in the morning poor lad. Husband's not too happy but hey ho! He was fighting with my other cat in the garden, who hates strange cats, so I'm hoping it isn't all going to be too traumatic. :/

 

[ILuvCowparsely]

oh Faracat I am so sorry. RIP boy you did the best for him. At least he did not suffer at the end. ;(

 

[AmyMay]

Been following this thread. So sorry Faracat. Thank you for caring xx

 

[Goldenstar]

How sad for you Faracat , at least he had care at the end poor little chap.

 

[ClobellsandBaubles]

Really sad to read that but at least he went quickly knowing kindness and a full belly you did a very good thing poor little mite My mum was adopted by a stray recently I don't even live there and am very overly attached to her.

I am so sorry. Sometimes cats know, and they find someone in their last days - you gave him love and a full belly, and he could trust you to do right by him. Heartbreaking xxx
