she's one gorgeous puss - you'll have her up on the hob in no time at this rate

LOL! don't think she'd manage the hob somehow, although saying that, she managed to get up onto the windowsill, so I wouldnt put it past her!

She looks so much better groomed now!! Glad to hear she is comfortable around your gang.

She is just so beautiful -glad she has fallen on her paws

Gillian Harvey · « **Reply #98 on:** March 16, 2010, 23:22:11 PM »

You surely can! - don't need much encouragement LOL! She's doing fine, starting to mingle with the others a bit more, but still spends a lot of time in 'her' room. She has most of her meals up there - BUT, yesterday evening, while I was preparing their food downstairs, she suddenly appeared in the kitchen and decided she was gonna eat with the rabble! She's seems much better now her BP is under control and she's been on fortekor for her kidneys for nearly a month now - and I've seen improvement in her appetite and the way she eats - i.e. she will now eat everything on her plate in one go, rather than picking at it and coming back later - so I can feed her at regular mealtimes now - the only thing different to the others is that she has an extra wet food meal at bedtime (when she retires to her room again LOL!) whilst the others have a biscuity meal (she can't have biscuits at all due to a previous bladder problem).

The others are fine with her - apart from Lacie, who I think, is a bit scared of her, mainly because she blundered right into Lacie once because she couldnt see her and I wasnt quick enough to step in - Lacie hasnt forgotten that incident!

Just thinking about this little one, as we are talking about long term fostering of dogs over on MSE ... can we have an update??

If Sasha can't see or hear properly she probably won't be cottoning on to any kitty body language. Perhaps she is just fearful of them as she doesn't know if they are friend or foe?

Yes I reckon thats the case, if only I could tell her that they are friendly (well most of 'em!

)

I don't know about taking her downstairs Mary - for one she's not too happy about being picked up and with her not being able to see very well she might get a bit disorientated being plucked from her 'safe' room and put into the lion's den!

I think anyone meeting all of your cats all at once would be shocked

Maybe you could carry her into the kitchen when they are all eating so she can see them all together and then maybe a few at a time in the room. Good luck.

Mary

Gill (sneakiefeline) · « **Reply #93 on:** February 09, 2010, 23:49:17 PM »

I guess that its all a bit of a shock for her

Is she not used to other cats?

Only one other cat, her sister, who had to be pts just before Sasha came to me. I think it was the fact they were all coming into 'her' room, it might be different when she goes to meet them downstairs - or maybe not!

Gill (sneakiefeline) · « **Reply #91 on:** February 09, 2010, 23:43:36 PM »

Oh dear, you will need to cover your ears

Well, I would have loved to have had her but sadly Byron wouldn't she'd be very upset and probably leave home

Aww,

- in all honesty I think i knew I was going to fail at fostering again the moment she stepped out the cat basket

Quote from: Gill (sneakiefeline) on February 09, 2010, 01:09:04 AM

I am sure that when she meets the whole gang , she will stop hissing cos nobody can have that much hiss

Not so sure about that Gill, she had an unplanned meeting with both Sam and Joe today. I'd left them all downstairs apart from Ben who was on the landing again, supposedly all asleep, so thought it was safe to leave the downstairs door open while I just popped upstairs to Sasha - yes, well, they cottoned on to the fact that there was uneaten food upstairs and suddenly they arrived - I have to say Sash was NOT impressed and there was some very unladyilke swearing from her

Gillian you need to change the word FOSTER to Persian in the Sbuject.

I guess so, because I can't see her going anywhere else now - Jo who runs the welfare for the persian rescue club reckons she would be very difficult to home - I mean, who's going to want a deaf, nearly blind, 15 year old persian with a heart murmur and onset of kidney disease? - Answers on a postcard please!

So pleased for Sasha, now we both have one

Seriously though, I hope she settles in well with the others and Ben sounds wonderful.

time to make another Persian sized gap on that hob of yours, Gillian

Sasha couldn''t have found a better home for the rest of her days - hope she has a few years in her left -she is really beautiful

Fits in very well too by the sounds of it - what a good boy Ben is -bless him

maryas · « **Reply #84 on:** February 08, 2010, 23:05:32 PM »

SASHA

I knew you would keep her and you knew you would too

She may only have a short life ahead of her (or maybe not) but it's sure gonna be a full one with you and your lot.

I'm guessing Ben has just resigned himseld to newbies wandering about!

Janeyk · « **Reply #78 on:** February 08, 2010, 16:50:32 PM »

Ben sounds to have a lovely temperament spot on for settling in Sasha

Gillian Harvey · « **Reply #77 on:** February 08, 2010, 16:32:10 PM »

She's met Ben today

- he was the only one upstairs this morning, curled up on the landing - normally i close off downstairs to let Sasha have the run of the upstairs, so, as Ben is usually quite chilled with newcomers, I thought I'd just leave him there and let Sasha wander. Anyway, she made a beeline for him, went straight up to him - and hissed at him! He just looked at her, then with a sort of shrug of his shoulders, got up, walked straight past her into 'her' room - with Sasha in hot pursuit LOL! He wasnt bothered by the fact she was following him round, then he climbed up onto the top of the cat tree - she couldnt work out where he'd gone because of her poor eyesight, and spent ages looking for him

Gill (sneakiefeline) · « **Reply #76 on:** February 08, 2010, 12:59:32 PM »

She sounds like she is just adapting and getting settled in the persian palace

She's been out of her room and explored all the upstairs rooms, and she's been up and down the stairs, so she's getting her bearings, and last night she came and sat on my lap for the first time. I've got that settee my neighbour's gave me a while back, in her room, and I hadnt seen her jump up on it at all, normally she just sits on the carpet or in the barrel bit of the cat tree, so I was quite surprised when I sat on the settee and next thing she's landed on my lap! Course I had to stay there for the next hour didnt I, so as not to disturb her

That made me smile! Poor thing, she has had such an upheaval but at least has landed on her paws.

maryas · « **Reply #71 on:** February 07, 2010, 22:31:28 PM »

Aw bless her Gillian, she's coming on well. She knows she's gonna be happy with you and your lot and she's settling in now

Sorry to hear her appetite isn't good, it could be the boosters I know my cats have always reacted that way for 24-48 hrs after.

Yes, think you were right, appetite improved now - was probably panicking too soon!

. Mind you she's still not eating everything up, but sometimes she goes back to it - which in fact is exactly what she's doing now just as I typed that LOL!

She's certainly got some vision because you can see in this pic she's looking up to my hand as I tried to attract her attention.

Gill (sneakiefeline) · « **Reply #69 on:** February 05, 2010, 23:15:08 PM »

It could be stress cos a lot has happened to her in a short time.

I dont like lots of meds and stuff and Franta gets no more boosters on two vets recommendation and I am also stopping Duchas now cos I reckon at 16yrs old enough is enough.

I think we do over vaccinate but then we are given no choice by the vets here.

Franta, Ducha and Sasa cant be pilled and suspect I wouldnt be able to do Misa, although the vets can, so I can do jabs for Franta but thats about it.

As the big cats are not eating very well at moment and birmans never have, food hidden things arent an option either.
