hope the wee mans tummy troubles sort themselves out soon Desley... its never nice seeing them so miserable with it all.

Janeyk · « **Reply #46 on:** February 19, 2009, 13:38:07 PM »

sorry to hear he is a bit poorly, I hope it soon settles

Purina One can be very good for runny tums if he will eat dry food again.

Poor Valentino - hoping his stomach settles down soon.

Poor little lamb chop. Hope you can get him to tuck in later, Desley.

What Sue said.

Awwww, Valentino is a honey, and I hope he can put some weight back on soon.

So pleased he's taking to a home environment Desley, sounds like he's landed firmly on his paws coming to you

Poor chap. Hope he feels up to eating again later, I'm sending my best eating vibes his way.

Tum's gone loose again overnight (he doesn't like Hills or RC Sensitive though), and his tummy grumbles quite a lot. He clearly wants some food, but is struggling with supermeat today (or he doesn't like the flavour), and he isn't wanting biscuits anymore, even though I suspect that is what he is used to. He did manage his plate of chicken last night though, but I am nearly out of it, so will have to go to the supermarket for some more, and I think I will book him in for his dental asap, in case that is the issue, and he will have bloods taken first, so if there is something more sinister, we will find out then - I dont want to book him in for bloods in advance as if they aren't too bad and he can have a dental, it will mean starving him twice, and he doesn't have the reserves for that.

How's this dear chap doing Desley?

Sue P (Paddysmum) · « **Reply #38 on:** February 17, 2009, 08:07:24 AM »

Am also glad, Desley.

Some cats might have no choice but the stars and the open road, but it doesn't mean they can't adapt fast to a life of chicken and tuna and warm, snuggley beds.

Think it's a good idea to let him get settled, before making inroads on those teeth.

Topsy Turvey · « **Reply #37 on:** February 17, 2009, 07:55:16 AM »

Valentino is just lovely. Glad he is settling in with you. Poor little soul, hope his dental goes well.

Janeyk · « **Reply #36 on:** February 17, 2009, 07:48:50 AM »

glad he enjoyed his chicken so much

Desley (booktigger) · « **Reply #35 on:** February 17, 2009, 07:45:06 AM »

He is Sue, but I am glad that he is accepting being in a house, some strays hate being confined and cause loads of issues, I dont get a peep out of him, i think he is just relieved to have something soft under his paws, and a nice warm space with someone who comesi in and gives him fusses.

He had some diarrhea yesterday, which I have been expecting since Fri actually (I know my mum gave him milk and tuna on Fri), so he is on some bland food at the mo, which he isn't too happy about!! He doesn't have a chip, but he does have some incredibly bad teeth, they wanted me to book him in last night for them, but I want to a - give his tum some time to settle, and b - some time on good food to see if his general condition improves first, but it will probably be in the next week or so - both rescue and vet said 'you know how to pick them' - yet another dental to pay for though, which isnt good, he is going to need pre-op bloods. Still not sure on an age, but definitely old.

he thought the two saucers of chicken yesterday were fantastic!!

Bless his little heart

Sue P (Paddysmum) · « **Reply #33 on:** February 16, 2009, 08:01:18 AM »

He'll be used to the stars and the open road.......

Desley (booktigger) · « **Reply #32 on:** February 16, 2009, 07:59:48 AM »

He certainly is, and is very happy in the bathroom, even though I do keep finding him sleeping on the carpet rather than the blanket or the bed!! He has eaten well overnight, but bless him, he started eating his leftover wet food this morning (which had been down for just over 12 hours) - just shows what he is used to - he does seem to favour dry, but that is OK. he thought the two saucers of chicken yesterday were fantastic!!

Baggy · « **Reply #31 on:** February 15, 2009, 21:28:35 PM »

Those piccies of Valentino bring a lump to my throat, he is lovely. I expect he can't quite believe his luck at the moment. Hope he continues to eat well and there aren't any underlying problems.

Desley (booktigger) · « **Reply #30 on:** February 15, 2009, 20:14:25 PM »

He has eaten quite a bit since 4pm, I went in before going out, and he was tucking into the wet, then had some dry, which I topped up when I Got back, and they had given me some leftover Whiskas biscuits which I gave him, he wolfed them, then a bit of the tuna supermeat and some fresh chicken - I will give him another plate of that after i have watched my programme, and make sure he has enough dry for the night, as he likes that.

Gail Bengal Slave · « **Reply #29 on:** February 15, 2009, 18:52:06 PM »

awwww bless him - he's a handsome little fella

Gill (sneakiefeline) · « **Reply #28 on:** February 15, 2009, 13:55:20 PM »

Little and often so his little tummy can get used ti food

Desley (booktigger) · « **Reply #27 on:** February 15, 2009, 13:25:02 PM »

i think that could be the case Jane - he has eaten something now, not loads, but then he wont need loads to be full.
He certainly is safe Sarah, and wont need to be on the street again.

madkittyrescue · « **Reply #26 on:** February 15, 2009, 13:23:14 PM »

awww bless him but at least he's safe now good luck with him Desley

Janeyk · « **Reply #25 on:** February 15, 2009, 10:25:53 AM »

maybe his little tummy isn't used to much food yet poor boy

Desley (booktigger) · « **Reply #24 on:** February 15, 2009, 10:20:56 AM »

I took some last night that made me cry. His mouth isn't great, and he is a bit off his food today, his tummy is grumbling, but not eaten much more than a few biscuits and some cat milk. Him and Sam have proper chicken for their tea though, and if he is still reluctant, I shall get the a/d out, and see if the vet can see him tomorrow.

Thanks for the good wishes, I hope it is just a dodgy mouth and lack of food so he can fatten up, but even if not, at least he is now off the street in a warm room with plenty of food and love - and he loves the fact he can sit on my knee!! He has been so severely let down by humans, yet still has enough in him to trust me and want fusses, it really does show how trusting cats can be, and did bring a tear to my eye.

Sue P (Paddysmum) · « **Reply #23 on:** February 15, 2009, 07:38:57 AM »

Desley he's lovely, even if he is skinny, bless him. Valentino rather suits him actually!

Janeyk · « **Reply #22 on:** February 15, 2009, 07:09:36 AM »

Poor thing, I'm sure he'll fatten up in time it may take a little while because he'll have to make the fat though at least he'll be getting nutrients now. He looks quite old to me too.

2d · « **Reply #21 on:** February 15, 2009, 01:24:36 AM »

Bless him, he probably couldn't believe his luck in having a choice of food!

Magnus was that thin when he arrived here.

Hope 'Valentine' is the same as Mags, and that it's purely down to missed meals.

JackSpratt · « **Reply #20 on:** February 14, 2009, 20:55:15 PM »

He's a handsome boy, despite being so skinny. Sending Valentino fuss!

bonnielass · « **Reply #19 on:** February 14, 2009, 20:04:59 PM »

You can see from the photo how painfully thin he is,poor mite

but now hes safe and will get plenty of love and attention

Susanne (urbantigers) · « **Reply #18 on:** February 14, 2009, 19:17:54 PM »

Bless him

He's so skinny!

I was going to suggest Valentino too

Desley (booktigger) · « **Reply #17 on:** February 14, 2009, 18:43:38 PM »

Those pics dont even show his full thinness C - I can't believe I have taken in 3 that thin since Nov. He has had some extra tea, and also some cat milk this pm, and I bought some chicken for him and Sam, as they are the only two that need feeding up in this house.
Will do the pm now.

Wibblechick · « **Reply #16 on:** February 14, 2009, 18:40:43 PM »

Valentino suits him - can you see a likeness?

Christine (Blip) · « **Reply #15 on:** February 14, 2009, 18:40:41 PM »

HE IS SO THIN! Poor little chap - feed him up, Desley

PS will you PM me your address again please?

Desley (booktigger) · « **Reply #14 on:** February 14, 2009, 18:31:54 PM »

pics - not great as he is more interested in fuss or food, but can't blame the poor soul, wtih how thin he is, he obviously hasn't had a lot of either recently. Am trying him with Valentino for now, and see how he responds

Desley (booktigger) · « **Reply #13 on:** February 14, 2009, 18:15:06 PM »

He has wolfed the supermeat I gave him for his tea, he obviously prefers that to Felix pouches (typical when we have just had a load of Felix pouches delivered!!). He is certainly pooing well, I am just relieved he knows what the tray is for. I will post pics when Molly moves off my knee!!

pappilon · « **Reply #12 on:** February 14, 2009, 18:11:03 PM »

Bless him, i hope he get on well with others.

Cant wait to see his picture.

Janeyk · « **Reply #11 on:** February 14, 2009, 16:24:22 PM »

ah, I was just about to say Valentino!

Bless that hungry boy

Tiggy's Mum · « **Reply #10 on:** February 14, 2009, 15:59:04 PM »

How about Valentino rather than Valentine, that's a 'real' name and he could also be called Tino for short

Desley (booktigger) · « **Reply #9 on:** February 14, 2009, 15:55:17 PM »

They are my two fav's, and Valentine is quite apt. i will get pics later, just not sure what I did with the camera.

JackSpratt · « **Reply #8 on:** February 14, 2009, 15:54:07 PM »

I like Valentine, and Xavier. I'm sure he'll be fine now he's with you Desley.
