Has no interest in toys at all or catnip.......sigh

One courier has been but the more important one has not arrived yet grrrrrrrrrrrrrr

She has just sat on window sill and had a look out but is now back lying on the cat tree,

She has also had another half pouch cos she was searching for food. She has also had a good suckle and is searching for the right place!

Does she not show any signs of wanting to play if you dangle a toy in front of her?  Maybe she's been outside fending for herself for a while and just wants food and somewhere warm at the moment.

I would I would and wanted to do some art this christmas but so hard to live with this bloomin door closed and it means my cats cant have Christmas with me.

I feel Pussy is bored and her one aim in life is to get more food, she doesnt play and spends most time lying about.........didnt think kittens were suposed to be like this but maybe its a reaction to being out in the cold and lost.

Pussy hates other cats it seems and Franta just walking in the room last night upset her for ages, even after he was gone!

I think you now know all the other answers....................gosh , I just want a normal life for a while!

Blimey - a Christmas kitten - now that was a curved ball !   :Crazy:   What's it like Gill?  How are the others towards it?  Is he still with you?    ;D  Sorry - excitement is, I realise, not appropriate to the severity of the season.   :hug: :hug:

Franta sneezed again yesterday :scared:

Ducha is currently the worst and Misa seems to be Ok.

I am still tired but having probs sleeping cos am woke up every two hours by Franta who wants food cos he is still mostly just licking off the jelly from Felix andddddddddddddd it has to be fresh LOL

Franta is being a monster, a clever monster and he is going straight for a bite of me if I wont do instantly what he wants.............his voice is well back and I so want to sleep..................I dont care if someone has used the tray I just wanna sleep!!

Probably thats another reason I cant sleep, I am scared of being eaten by Franta  :scared: :scared:

Afraid I had to go out about 1500 and only just got back but he amd the others had food before I left.

Sadly have 3 sick cats now, Franta recovering slowly and has definately found his voice and headbutts, Ducha who is sneezing and blowing his nose but he has not seemingly got any worse so hope he is fighting it on his own.

Misa poor boy has a runny tummy, could be overeating, the cold, stress etc etc but was up and down all night with one or the other of them.

When I finally really fell asleep I was woken up by Franta who was noisily demanding food and then he never left me alone until he forced me to get up.

I so just want them all well and happy

He is still bouncing the nose gounge around..sigh but he has been up and downstairs a number of times and is doing massive mouth open yawns which he hasnt done since last week.

I decided not to start the second lot of abs but can start at any time now if need be.

I am hoping the nose gunge will soon stop.

I have had a feeling rough day but hoping tomorrow will be better and also that no other cat gets ill

I am feely really rough again......sigh

Franta has found a strangled meow  :wow:

His nose is still not wonderful but he is lying on me........I was sooooooooo trying to wrap struff to get to post office but really dont feel well enough.

He is active and has tail up and demandint attenshun  ;D

I need him to eat now......sigh

I havent started the other abs yet and wondering whether I should, maybe the convenia is helping although I would say its a bit early. Maybe just a coincidence and he is just improving naturally?

Thank you Alison.

His nose is running again and blowing bubbles but I am hoping that this  means the mucas is breaking down.

He has had a Convenia jab tonight..thanks to Liz for the suggestion and the vet ran with that. I also have a bottle of the other abs with loads of syringes and needles to give him one jab everyday for next 7 days.

The vet says its a bit overkill but we now need to get Franta back to being able to eat properly as fast as possible to stop other problems occuring. This time the abs will not be in syringes until needed and not in the fridge because the substance is viscous, and seems to get more so in the fridge.

He is still silent except for an odd Purr and came down twice tonight, the second time to tell me he was hiungry but he didnt eat much.
