UPDATE: : Cat keeps throwing up
Thought I'd give you an update on poor Furby's nasal condition. It
hasn't improved at all but he actually seems to be practicing a meditation technique to keep his stomach calm (I kid you not) and hasn't thrown up in weeks. I've tried ALL of your suggestions, from the pill pocket (turns up his nose at it even without a pill inside) to a seafood mix with the crushed pill (yuck, ptooey), to liquid using an injector (moreon his face than down his throat) to trying to put the pill down his throat with the pill injector. The last gifted me with several rather deep bites on my thumb and my roomie has some nice gashes on his arms from our attempts. sigh He's gained a little bit of weight now that he's not throwing up as much but still just a miserable kitty as he sits here on my dining room chairs (now covered with towels) and drips. I've taken to calling him Booger Boy. He seems to like it and while he's no where near as well as he should be or I'd like him, he's gained a little weight back and is hanging with me more often, though I've taken to walking around with a nappy on my shoulder. ROTFL I do love this guy. He's my mama's boy and actually lets me wipe his eyes and nose now. Such a baby. Jacksie, the holy terror aka the Brat, is another pleasure to have round the house when she's not torturing Furby. But I feel sorry for her because the only one who plays with her is me and I don't have the time every day. Poor thing. She's now taken to curling up against my butt in the morning so she can have some fun first thing when i wake. LOL Anyway, there's the update. Hope you all had a really Happy Holiday and a wonderful New Year! Sorry for the delay but it's been busy.

But yeah, I'm pretty sure that was the trigger. But whether it's stress or an actual allergic reaction, he still gets the hacking cough and I don't know what to do. He's losing weight with all the throwing up. In article , Mack A.

UPDATE: : Cat keeps throwing up
Actually, ever since my first cat, and much ruined furniture regardless
of the huge cat tree I had and all my efforts, all my cats have always been front declawed. I like my furniture in one piece, thank you, not shreds. I won't take off their back claws though. The simple reason being that if they get out, and I have had cats run out of the house, they at least have the defense of being able to climb a tree.

You're against the procedure because you subscribe to the mindset of "let the cat run wild and do as he pleases". To people like you RULES and the word "NO" are forbidden territory. Why don't you just admit it instead of trying to twist this poor ignorant woman’s mind? Be a big time saver in the long run (since I have forever and a day to make my point). IBen |

We only did it to protect our home. The way we looked at it, it was a small price for them to pay in order to live in a warm and safe environment free from constant hunger, the elements and the constant threat of predators. And they kept their rear claws until the leatherette furniture came along. We probably would have chosen something else, but they were doing so well after the surgery that we could see no reason not to just go ahead and have the rear ones removed, too. I see after reading your post, that you are not ignorant at all. Being around these lunatics in here for the last few years can make one feel that the entire world has come off its trolley, I’m here to tell you! Keep up the good work. Seems that you’re doing fine to me. IBen |

They were that way before I got 'em, and I didn;t try to change 'em. I generally keep cheap furniture for that reason. but ZI do have a very good quality dresser that my mother refinishede many years ago, and I have to protect it with carpets. Fortunately, It has a marble top, so I can put carpet under the marble that hangs down over where the cats like to sharpen their claws and protect it from them. I am thinking of getting a piano though, so I am interested in figuring out some way of protecting it. Perhaps if I sneak up on them and play some complicated chords FFF, it will discourage them....:^) |

IBen Anecdotal evidence is always difficult to prove. But the cats balance is all on those paws, and amputating the entire first half of their fingers is going to ruin it. Not just removal of the nail. They cut off the entire finger beyond the knuckle. How would you like that done to you? |
