It will be very difficult to let her go. I know I can't do it at least until she is 100% healthy.

Don't know if you've seen but if Tina will be up for homing someone sounds very interested on CC

I am so pleased that she is doing what she needs to do and I am sure she was telling you Thank you I like it here and please dont leave for so long and I dont want to be outside in the cold any more

Thats how she got her name Tina Tuna cos it was the only thing thats Sue had that she thought Tina would like

She had my heart and I only saw her a brief time before she was in the car and I talked to her all te journey

Kay and Penny · « **Reply #150 on:** November 07, 2009, 23:27:07 PM »

from a cold wet Welsh mountain to a warm place on Moira's sofa is quite a journey, and Tina is one lucky puss

but she seems to be repaying her debt in wees, poos, yowls and love - who could ask for more?

Ralph's mum (angie) · « **Reply #149 on:** November 07, 2009, 23:14:11 PM »

well done everyone involved she is a stunner

think she has stolen a few hearts around here

sheryl · « **Reply #148 on:** November 07, 2009, 22:36:09 PM »

Thanks for the update Moira - sounds like little Tina has truly stolen your heart xxx

moira · « **Reply #147 on:** November 07, 2009, 19:48:51 PM »

Tina's leg was very stiff this morning after being curled up in the igloo all night. However, she loosened up as the day went on. Happy to report there was a poo in the litter tray this morning and evidence of pee (It doesn't take much to make us happy, does it:) ) It was very sunny here today and she spent most of the afternoon on the windowsill. She isn't asking for food but takes it when offered. She has eatten a good amount of chicken and also some fresh tuna today. I bought a new mobile phone/camera today as unfortunately I had a year left on my contract with 3 and couldn't get a free replacement. Once I have figured out how to take pics on it I will take some more of Tina and post. I discovered Tina is quite a vocal cat. When I came back this afternoon she yowled at me for about 5 minutes. I'm not sure if that was a welcome back or a telling off for leaving her:). At the moment she is curled up on the sofa watching Strickly.

It will be very difficult to let her go. I know I can't do it at least until she is 100% healthy.

Thanks, everyone for the good wishes for Tina.

Just had to pop over here from CatChat and read the latest news on Tina

Poor little baby. All those bites
So glad she is now safe with Moira and has been seen by the vet.
Hope she's feeling better very soon.

Well done everybody involved in Tina's rescue

Edited to move a smilie from the wrong place

Gill (sneakiefeline) · « **Reply #141 on:** November 06, 2009, 22:45:11 PM »

Isnt that strange about the wet food..........I know she just had dry plus water with Sue. Sue didnt try wet food. Lasagne cat

I agree about her age and the size of her head, its minute in real life.

She is such a friendly cat which is amazing after all she has been through but humans are her cup of cocoa

I have to send pictures to Sue now LOL, She told me this morning that her dog is missing Tina and going around looking for her.........sigh

bonnielass · « **Reply #140 on:** November 06, 2009, 22:41:27 PM »

Moira she is beautiful and i bet your going to find it very hard to part with her when the time comes

I know with you she will have the very best care going and i look forward to more updates on her progress

moira · « **Reply #139 on:** November 06, 2009, 22:40:08 PM »

The pics are a bit deceptive, she doesn't look old in real life. I weighed her tonight and she is only 2.7 kg (less than Truman). Her head is tiny compared with her body and leg length. I still feel she could be nearer 11- 12 months rather than older. Tonight she ate 60 grams of chicken, some biscuits and half a small bottle of kitten milk. She still wasn't interested in wet food. However, she does like lasangna as I caught her licking my plate, naughty girl

When I got home she was curled up in an igloo I had bought for Rosie and Sophie which they wouldn't look at but this evening she spent on the sofa beside me. She just loves attention and especially tummy rubs. Apart from still not pooing or peeing and being quiet she doesn't seem too bad. I think she just needs rest and plenty of good food. As she isn't eating wet food I tried her on the kitten milk, which she seems to like, to make sure she is getting some fluid. She does drink water because she took some from me in the car but I haven't seen her drinking it here yet.

Starpixie · « **Reply #138 on:** November 06, 2009, 19:59:33 PM »

Aw so glad she is doing ok!

Loving the photos! Bet she's loving life now she gets a buffet of different nice food!! :D

Gill (sneakiefeline) · « **Reply #137 on:** November 06, 2009, 18:21:40 PM »

You are right Gillian she does but maybe thats the effect of the abs and the infection she has, cos she doesnt look like that in my pics 24 hrs earlier or when i was watching her at Sues.

i reckon she is very tired and also destressing.

Older cats often get mistaken for kittens when underweight, vet would be able to tell if she is that young by teeth

She does look like an old cat in that second pic of her curled up on the blanket, bless her, she looks lovely and cosy

Thank you for your good wishes for Tina. I do hope you find Tigger. Have you put her on the national registers?

Just checked out the new pictures sadly not my tigger but good luck hope she recovers quickly and all goes well xx

Bazsmum · « **Reply #133 on:** November 06, 2009, 13:46:20 PM »

I now suspect as what happened to Shirley's Chuchy...Rat bites...He was pretty poorly but after a couple of jabs and a couple of days he was back on form....Im sure this gorgeous little girl will be on top pretty soon....Bless her she is adorable!

CC & The Pussycat Guys & Dolls · « **Reply #132 on:** November 06, 2009, 12:43:29 PM »

Aww Tina is lovely

hoping for a speedy recovery

Gill (sneakiefeline) · « **Reply #131 on:** November 06, 2009, 12:28:03 PM »

Staceys cat also has the tortie marking and to night will post her pics so you can see

moira · « **Reply #130 on:** November 06, 2009, 12:23:03 PM »

She hadn't peed or pood in the litter tray this morning but I left the house at 8:30. She did poo and pee in the carrier last night on the way to vets. The poo was a little on the normal/hard (constipated) side but I will keep an eye on things there. The picture quality isn't too great (my mobile phone camera is better once I get it fixed) but you are right, she does have tortie colouring as well as tabby markings. It makes her quite unusual and, I think, very pretty.

Gill (sneakiefeline) · « **Reply #129 on:** November 06, 2009, 12:10:52 PM »

In the pictures she looks a lot bigger than she is,

I am convinced now that shew is not your car Stacey cos the markings on the top of the head are dirrent as you can see in Moiras pictures and your trigger has I think got a mackrel tabby coat which Tina does not have,

I also talked to Sue this morning for a long time going through a description of her and the tail also is different. Sue being an artist is very observant and remembers what Tina looks like after having her around nearly two weeks.

Sue says there are no foxes or badgers around where she lives but there are loads of rats and the morning before I collected Tina , Sue had said that Tina was very poorly and could hardly open her eyes and was limping very badly but by 1400 she had improved and suspect that was just a temporary respite but without the abs yesterday she would have then gone downhill fast.

I did have vet appointment for her on Wed evening but as her eyes were good and she was only slightly limpoing, although I knew about the chunk out of her tail, I considered it better for her to travel immediately to Moira for safety and now think this was the right decision.

For Moira, Sue told me this morning that at the weekend when she was in the house much longer, she wanted to go outside after about 3 hours and its only writing this I am now thinking , well of course cos she probably needed to use a litter tray........doh! Sue thought it was because she liked to be outside and of course this may be the case too.

I hope the abs kick in really quick and she settles more and more to being in a warm house where she is not attacked.

Kay and Penny · « **Reply #128 on:** November 06, 2009, 12:10:02 PM »

poor Moira - bet you're not looking forward to Saturday then

- it's not a man thing, is it? Tosker tolerates women in the house, but he ran out of the house and enclosure when a man called to read the water meter

I take it Tina has now used the tray, and there are no concerns there

is it the camera, or does she have some tortie in her coat?

moira · « **Reply #127 on:** November 06, 2009, 10:43:48 AM »

Tina had good night snuggled into blanket on my sofa and was quite perky this morning. Didn't seem to be limping and managed to jump off windowsill without any problem (that's where she was when I came down this morning). Ate 2 bowls of chicken breast last night. Dreadful time at the vets. She was screaming and biting and I hated having to hold her down when she was hurting. Will take her back to vets next Saturday for vaccinations and blood tests.

Millys Mum · « **Reply #126 on:** November 06, 2009, 10:02:25 AM »

Heres hoping for a quick recovery!

Sadly my little tigger was not micro chipped.. have looked at the pictures it is really hard to tell as they are not proper front pics... hoepfully if we can get some mroe pics i maybe to say 100% ....It hard to tell due to tigger being missing a few months... tiggers little sister is not that big so thats what makes me wonder.. and tigger would easily jump in a car so thats how i think she got lost :*(.... either way if its not my little tiggy I wish this little girl the best of luck xx

Shirley · « **Reply #124 on:** November 06, 2009, 07:46:29 AM »

Sorry to hear Tina had a few bites on her, but she is now somewhere to recover and be loved. When my Ollie had his rat bite on the Sat evening, by 6am on the Sunday, he couldn't even lift his head up, which was why the vet was so convinced it was a rat cos he was so poorly so quickly. He had 3 injections at the emergency vets and another two the next evening. He spent all day Sunday and Monday asleep under the table. Thankfully Tina's not like that, so maybe it was a fox?
Glad to hear she's on the mend!

Gill (sneakiefeline) · « **Reply #123 on:** November 05, 2009, 23:18:55 PM »

No she is not Staceys, her head is very very small.....I think she is younger than the vet thinks but we will have to wwait and see how she feeds up over next few weeks.

No chip astray, she is not chipped.

She loves everyone cept the vet but thats only cos she was in pain, she came right up to me the first time she saw me and Sue said I had a way with animals cos of how her dog reacted to me.

I know CP thought the same but then I still cant touch Sasa after nearly 4 years so I cant be that good LOL

Bazsmum · « **Reply #122 on:** November 05, 2009, 22:43:02 PM »

Now we know that Tina Tuna is older, could there be any possibility of her being Stacey's babe? I know cats can look much older or younger than their age....Was Stacey's cat chipped, then again a chip could go astray also!

Just a thought?

Bazsmum · « **Reply #121 on:** November 05, 2009, 22:36:42 PM »

Only just seen her pic and my is she beautiful....

Bless her little socks that must of been horrid being bitten by something....Im sure she will be feeling lowsey and in pain, the jabs are good and quick though so she should finger's crossed be feeling brighter in a couple of days....

I thought it strange when the mention of her not eating and maybe stress related travelling etc, you find that these cats are so grateful the hardly get fazed out by anything!

Brilliant job your doing there btw Moira!

bunglycat · « **Reply #120 on:** November 05, 2009, 22:05:41 PM »

Bless this little angel - i really hope the bites clear up quickly and Tina gets a wonderful loving forever home with a long and happy future.

Its terrible what she has been through
