Sounds a bit like Groucho's "attack" on Noni when he was a young lad only in reverse  :innocent: 

I'll see if I can find the video but beware  :shify: it's not for those of a nervous disposition  ;)

I think so, she has lost her kitten fluff and is turning into a proper mini cat. She was so funny this morning, she attacked Emo by jumping straight legged into the air about 3 feet and landed on top of her. BEWARE LOW FLYING KITTENS :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

A friend of mine has just had to pay for an operation on his cat it cost £5000 and they had to pay even though they have insurance. Vets want payment up front now it seems. Fortunately he was just in the process of buying a house so used his deposit  :shocked:

I recently changed to a new dentist and you have to pay them up front even for a check up.

Not too impressed with your cost conscious vet JC  :-:  Wonder if they've been taken advantage of recently by other customers to behave in such a way over £20?  Is it a large chain practice?

I have ended up with 2 extra Milbemax pills by mistake from our small practice (pretty sure they are about £7 each or thereabouts) on two different visits.  I rang each time to point error out but was told to forget it.  Granted, the Moggnificanet 7 are pretty good customers though and I know every member of staff by name as they don't have much of a turnaround thankfully.  We could use a state of the art practice that is just as local (MRI scanner and 24/7 hospital facilities) but their charges are horrendous and part of a large chain.

Always a bit dubious of a new vet until they've proved their mettle, and many of them arent at a practice more than 5 minutes these days.

I know that kittens in a litter can have different Fathers, so  it's possible litters can be premature, but never heard that before, and to be honest, from what you've described previously, Boblet appears to be behaving like a perfectly normal kitten, bless her paws.  And if it ain't broke, you don't fix it.  Boblet's your baby, not someone else's test piece!

I agree with Rosella - trust your own Judgment and I suspect Boblet will grow up to be a beautiful example of her kind, and perfectly healthy to boot.   :Luv:

Thanks for that Guys, that didn't sound right to me. It was almost as if she wanted something to be wrong with Boblet so she could have bloods done etc. Also I only had £70.00 on me and that vets have always let me come back later, or, in the case of Troubles tooth removal op, the cost of £600 + to be paid off  @£50.00 per month with £200 up front. When I mentioned that she said that it would not be allowed now as her boss had tightened things up and I had to go back with the remaining £20.66 before I was allowed to take the older cat's treatments away. May be time to find a new Vet.

Mmm sounds like Vets for Pets. They always try and bump up the bill.

No experience of premature either, only my two monsters, I think I ended up with greedy pud (Zoon) and Astro was the runt as he is a couple of pounds lighter than the Loon .

I would say up to about 7 days difference maybe possible, but weeks :-:  Sounds like they got their days and weeks mixed up. A week would make a big difference to the size of of a newborn kitten.

Oh dear  :hug: :hug: :hug:  I have no experience of "premature" puds.

All I know is that our beautiful Boris was a wee diddy boy and I did worry so about when we should neuter our little man as he was such a little thing at 6 months and head VN said he would be a sweet diddy wee boy forever etc  :-:  Needless to say he is a complete monster  :naughty: that has not for one minute ever shown any sign of either physical or mental vulnerability. 

Boris is utterly impervious to any offence or injury (touching wood of course) and I hope with all my heart that beautiful Boblet will also prove every word of your lady vet to be false  :hug: :hug: :hug:

Milbemax are pretty pricey ( I know as our lot have that) so not surprised at difference in cost but you should check your receipt for the makeup of the invoice to be sure  :hug:

I dont agree ith your vet and runts of the litter are just the smallesy ones who often dont get enough food cos bigger kittens push them away from the milk bar.

I think if Boblet is acting normally in all ways and she does sound like she is, then the vet is talking out of back of head!

Okay now really confused as I have never heard this before, new Vet, who I have to say I am not particularly struck on, said when I said she was the runt hence her small size, that runts are kittens conceived a few weeks after the rest of the litter and so are just premature? I have never heard of this before as I thought that queens had a short season and then stopped calling especially after conception? She then tried to say that she was concerned that Boblet could have a shunt in her liver stopping her from properly metabolising food and she would put money on the fact she would eat and then go immediately to sleep. I said no, she has a poo and then plays like a mad thing, so she insisted that her poos must be runny and I told her they were normal, neither soft nor hard, she then said when she plays she must just crash. I said that she is very lively throughout the day and then calms down a bit after playing at night and as far as I know just sleeps with the other two on the sofa when the lights go out. that is where she is if I have to come down for painkillers. She is alert and interested now whilst I type? Sitting on my shoulder with her forepaws on my head :rofl: Saying that she couldn't feel anything amiss.  So Boblet has had her first jabs, and is going back on the 22nd for the second lot. Vet did agree that it would be better to chip her when she gets spayed at 6 months, she did ask if I wanted her chipped today, but as she will not be allowed out until she is a LOT bigger, I said that I didn't really want such a big needle being stuck in such a tiny cat. I have Mibumax to give her the day after tomorrow and kitten Advocate to put on her 48 hours after that. Oh well, rather than the £62.00 quoted by the receptionist £90.66 later, but Emo and Trouble also have Milbumax and 3 months worth of Advocate. Any thoughts on Boblet being prem?

I try to think of my cats as my luxury. I wouldn't like to call them my hobby but when you think how much people spend on things like golf, horse riding going to the gym. They bring me a lot of pleasure so actually money spent on them is well worth it. Boblet is way more fun and cuter than a goldfish.
