Teresa, please try to rest more. So easy for me to say but please try to put yourself first for at least six hours a day.

Ditto

Pleased to hear the vets have taken the pressure off for a bit

Sorry not updated,life has been got so bad I collapsed in bathroom during the night, ,I`m ok dont worry.
Debbie took me and the 4 tyrants to vets this morning, Andy could find nothing wrong; I found myself telling him that for the first time ever I couldnt cope and he would be responsible for my death if things continued. Andy took the 4 darlings until 6 to give me a rest,said he would get nurses to pump them full of AD touch wood things are easier tonight, I intend to leave a dish of food in their Pen and go to bed and see what tomorrow brings.
The other Paws Inn charges are doing ok.
Meanwhile I have taken my morphine and feel really sleepy, so hopefully will do proper update tomorrow.
By the way 2 of these little darlins are reserved so no pressure.

Sending lots of

Teresa.

I have a question. You mentioned Rosalind had a can of pilchards in tomato sauce. I've always avoided the ones in tomato sauce because I thought the tomato sauce would be too rich and upset their tummies. Isn't this the case?

sheilarose · « **Reply #4616 on:** May 20, 2012, 22:13:55 PM »

Sending positive vibes for Rosalind and the puzzling Fusspots.

I know you'll get to the bottom of this, T. Just hope they don't wear you out in the process.

CarolM (Wendolene) · « **Reply #4615 on:** May 20, 2012, 21:13:42 PM »

Hope the lapping has gone better today and that Rosalind is still eating well.

Sue P (Paddysmum) · « **Reply #4614 on:** May 20, 2012, 07:13:11 AM »

Crikey Teresa - what a marathon session!

Am a great respecter of instinct - especially yours - and hope you can work out what it is that's bugging you about Rosalind and her babies.

CarolM (Wendolene) · « **Reply #4613 on:** May 20, 2012, 00:30:19 AM »

Sending lots of 'get lapping' vibes for the norty kittens, and a huge dollop of strength giving vibes for you T.

Is Tom Snout taking over where Winston left off

Pleased to hear that apart from the fuss pots being fuss pots that all others are happy and healthy. How are Athena and Olivia's babies coming on?

Teresa Pawcats · « **Reply #4611 on:** May 19, 2012, 12:05:52 PM »

10 am battle finished at 11.45am, kittens put up at great fight but even Tom Snout( the only boy who thinks he is now in charge) had to admit to enjoying his food just a bit

almost full sachet gone,it does help threatening a water syringe

Cobweb actually wolfed every scrap of hers, Perdita ate hers in a slow but ladylike manner and Titania like tom Snout put up a fight but got there in the end.

I think you need a break Teresa,cats of all ages can be so bloody-minded,if they don''t wanna do summat,they won't! I hope you win in the end,and they start lapping.x

Think in truth if I were employed by someone I would be sacked

We have now had 2 days and 2 nights of this,where is the giant scream smilie. Something is niggling me regards this whole litter and I just cant get my head around it. This morning I was greeted by poop everywhere and filthy kittens who really do not want to lap. Finally got quarter of sachet of Hi life kitten which had been blended into a creamy soup down them yes I forced them to lap one at a time on my knee,thats quarter sachet between 4, I then syringed 7ml of electrolyte fluid into each of them.They have been back end bathed as poop and piddle dance they were doing left them bright yellow,interesting its still mums milk coming through after all this time. Next battle due at 10.
Mum continues to make progress.
All other inmates happy and well.

Pleased to hear she's feeling better. Such a shame she won't be able to raise her babies but I know you will do a fab job of being Rosalind's stand in

That's a lovely offer from Julie too

CarolM (Wendolene) · « **Reply #4607 on:** May 18, 2012, 19:49:25 PM »

so pleased that Roslalind has eaten. I can't say that I blame her for being relieved at being kitten-free, they are certainly very demanding. Fingers crosssed that the breakthrough on lapping is just a whisker away, and

to Julie for offereing to give you break.

... and as for Cornelius

Teresa Pawcats · « **Reply #4606 on:** May 18, 2012, 19:25:03 PM »

Rosalind has eaten the following in the last 24hours
I whole tin Pilchards in tomato sauce
2 small chicken breasts
handful of RC dry kitten
4 sachets of Felix a g a i ls amazing what anabolic can do

It seems her problem is calcium and kitten related. She is bouncing around happy as larry and glad to be rid of her babies, Well she is only a kitten herself. Vet said she must not even see or hear her babies because that could trigger milk production which could kill her.
Her babies are naughty, fussy little darlings who have almost killed me, I have had different ones lapping at different times but each feed has left me in tears,to be honest I left them this afternoon hoping hunger would kick in, afraid I gave in and syringe came out. This mornings feed took me 3 hours, I have promised myself a holiday for my 100 birthday(not had one since 1978 ) and if ever my lungs recover and I can walk I will run away

.
All else seem fine and Julie bless her has offered to take babies for a night if it gets too much.

I know how much you all enjoy a bit of poop in the conversation well Cornelius did a 10 inch long lump this afternoon

CarolM (Wendolene) · « **Reply #4605 on:** May 18, 2012, 10:35:43 AM »

Sending lots of these

for all at the Inn today, especially Aunty T and Rosalind. Hope the the fusspots, Cassandra and Athena's babies have taken on board the art of lapping. Also a special

for Pansydora. Yes I know she's a terror but sooooo loveable.

Tigerlily (Allison) · « **Reply #4604 on:** May 18, 2012, 07:31:24 AM »

Sending lots of positive vibes for Rosalind. And a

for you Teresa.

Sue P (Paddysmum) · « **Reply #4603 on:** May 18, 2012, 06:54:50 AM »

C'mon Rosalind, sweetheart. C'mon.

You can't give up now. Me and young Ross (Foo Fighter Extraordinaire) are sending some "eat up" vibes for you and to baby Cassandra too.

Teresa, thinking of you and your kitten soup.

Tiggy's Mum · « **Reply #4602 on:** May 18, 2012, 00:51:47 AM »

Fingers crossed poor Rosalind starts to feel better soon, she's such a sweet looking little thing

Come on fuss post, be good for your Auntie Teresa

So, how do you teach kittens to lap ?

A bit like swimming lessons really

and when that fails stick food covered fingers in their mouths

and when that doesnt work dunk their heads in kitten soup

All very cruel, finally you shove them in kitchen sink and attempt to wash them clean

Am a bit annoyed really think pic of kiitens swimming in food maybe on broken laptop.

sheilarose · « **Reply #4600 on:** May 17, 2012, 20:18:23 PM »

Poor Cordelia, RIP sweetheart, love and kindness found you when you least expected it, and you lived long enough to know how it felt.

Teresa, I know she was special to you.

Sending "C'Mon!!" vibes for Rosalind, and hoping her babies will fare as well under your care as the previous bundles of impossible cuteness have.

So, how do you teach kittens to lap ?

nickynoo93 · « **Reply #4599 on:** May 17, 2012, 19:30:29 PM »

So sorry to hear about Cordela. Poor Rosalind, I hope she perks up soon and can be reunited with her kittens.

I can picture you on the floor kneeling over a dish of milk showing the kittens how to lap.

Take care of yourself.x

Teresa Pawcats · « **Reply #4598 on:** May 17, 2012, 18:49:43 PM »

Another tough day, Rosalind has been back to see Andy this afternoon,hes given her some anabolics and vitamins in the hope it will boost her appetite,she has been offered every kind of cat food imagineable, pilchard in tomato sauce, freshly cooked chicken and been syringe fed AD and cat milk,all to no avail; her kittens who are in the house with me are not being co operative either,they want their mummys milk not anything that I have to offer, I am sitting here covered in all sorts but at least babies have full tummies for now,Tom Snout even drew blood from my lip

Dont think I have any tears left to cry,wouldnt be so bad if mum would eat. Vet has advised mum cat is totally removed from kittens,somehow I find myself looking back at dwarfs,holy terrors and hundreds more with fond memories and thinking this lot will soon grow up;they have already been named the fuss pots

Baby Cassandra has also felt the force of my fingers with kitten meat, shes ok but way behind her siblings who are lapping small amounts. Have also given Athenas 4 lessons in lapping.
All else seem ok.

JackSpratt · « **Reply #4597 on:** May 17, 2012, 10:58:11 AM »

Have to agree that the wise old lady cat was smart; she was with someone who loved her when she went. Rest Easy, Cordelia.

Hope you're all OK.

Tigerlily (Allison) · « **Reply #4596 on:** May 17, 2012, 07:44:55 AM »

Oh that's sad about Cordelia

I'm so glad her last days were spent at the inn where she was loved and pampered.

Shirley · « **Reply #4595 on:** May 17, 2012, 07:19:45 AM »

Always sad to hear a furry has gone to the bridge......sweet dreams Cordelia

Hope you're ok T

Sue P (Paddysmum) · « **Reply #4594 on:** May 17, 2012, 06:59:38 AM »

Teresa, am so sorry.

Am pleased that Cordelia found somewhere safe to rest her paws and enjoy her remaining days - she couldn't have found a better place.

Gods bless, Cordelia. Be happy, sweetheart.

Tiggy's Mum · « **Reply #4593 on:** May 17, 2012, 00:06:22 AM »

Very sorry to hear the sad news about Cordelia, I have no doubt she has been treated like a Princess during her time at Paws Inn and at least she went knowing love and kindness. RIP Cordelia, safe and sound at the Bridge by now xx

Hope you are feeling OK Teresa

How is Rosalind doing?

CarolM (Wendolene) · « **Reply #4592 on:** May 16, 2012, 22:49:02 PM »

Night night and God bless Cordelia.

When you astounded the vets by recovering from your chest infection we thought you would have longer than this but it wasn't to be.

Some good news today - Olivia's kittens have started to lap. Well, all except Cassandra that is but she's still wrestling wth how to find her way to the milk bar. Should add she does get there eventually.

mad_lilli · « **Reply #4591 on:** May 16, 2012, 22:35:29 PM »

Awwwwww that's sad news.

to all and good luck Cordelia - enjoy Corrie at the bridge. Xxx

Liz · « **Reply #4590 on:** May 16, 2012, 21:28:56 PM »

Oh Aunty T our thoughts are with you all at the Inn, Good speed Miss Cordelia loved and wanted at the end and always a special Paws Inn baby

Teresa Pawcats · « **Reply #4589 on:** May 16, 2012, 20:54:30 PM »

Its been a tough couple of days at the Inn, but thank God for Carol.

Just before 5 this afternoon Carol and myself had the tough task of taking dear old Cordelia to the vets.
Cordelia has had a couple of months here with food and grooming a plenty,she even enjoyed Coronation St. and extra rations

This morning quite unexpectedly Cordelia began to struggle on the tray,normally her piddle has been like a fountain, today nothing and I mean nothing. Vet said she could have done bloods and put her on a drip but in a couple of weeks we would be back. The Miss Piggy of the cat world it seems had several things going on beside her kidneys. I think Carol and I are still in shock.
So the sweet old dear was put to sleep and was gone within a second of needle touching her.

Goodnight Godbless " Miss Piggy"

JackSpratt · « **Reply #4588 on:** May 16, 2012, 12:18:26 PM »

Yup, I'm definitely in the Happy and Rainbow camp.

Stunners the pair of them. And Old Gobbo looks a total card.

Sue P (Paddysmum) · « **Reply #4587 on:** May 16, 2012, 06:45:03 AM »

Popping in to say Hi to everyone at the Inn this morning, and young Ross (Foo Fighter Extraordinaire [of the Order of the Curly Whiskers]) wants to say "waaaaah" to everyone too.

He can't wait til his meowmy allows his to press da buttons onna pooter and then he can join in the fun too......

Hugs to all

Gorgeous photos, I love the names you give the cats, You will be running out of names, you'll have to get that Shakespeare fella to write some new plays.

Thanks Nicky, I wonder what he would make of us using his names for cats

I suppose we could use Enid Blyton when the Bard is exhausted

Lovely pics,i was tempted to offer my help(even though i reckon i'm too far!) but my oldies are 18-17-maybe 16,plus my middle one had dementia and doesn't like any changes.Trying not to think how he'll cope when i move house. Rosalind looks like a kitten herself.

Oh Lordy - how beautful - what a wonderful collection of Mummies and babies. Happy is a stunning cat. Absolutely stunning - like a black Bast.
