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.

to do is relax.

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.

You can remedy the "gashing" problem simply by utilizing a modern
medical technique called 'declawing'. Don't let the nut-cases in here
try to make you feel guilty about it. It's often necessary so peace
and harmony can exist between pet and pet owner. Our cats have all
been put thru the procedure, and none of them are the worst for wear.
Seriously, there has not been one single problem. They all act just
like they did before, but no more "gashing" now. Especially to our
leatherette bean-bag chairs and expensive stereo speakers. And it’s
not as expensive as you might think. A small price to pay to protect
the important things in your life.

Clair.... Here is a link describing the procedure that I spoke of in

you want to be in control of the situation and not let it be in
control of you. : )

Many of us know cats that had problems after having half of their
fingers amputated. I had one cat that had been "declawed" and he was
never really happy, could never follow the other cats on the cat trees
or any of the high places they like to go. And he was a big biter, and
none of my other cats do that.

I've never had problems with any of my cats scratching furiture. I
provide plenty of scratching materials and they love those. Once in a
while I do end up with a scratch, but that's a small price to pay for
leaving the cat as it was created.

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.

So you're saying that he became a biter due to that little
operation....??! I defy you to prove it. Our cat was a biter BEFORE he
had those needless bothersome knives removed. Just FYI. Declawing
produces NONE of the issues that you blame on it. Our boys have never
been happier, and they exhibit no ill effects at all. It's all IN YOUR
HEAD. 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

Yes, Clair... The wife and I are just like you. 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.

Yes. If one of my cars takes a fancy to a piece of furniture that I like, I
hang a piece of carpet over the place where he/she likes to scratch, and
that saves the piece.

My cats are all outside cats. 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....:^)

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?
