Oh how cute is she in that pic! She doesn't look bothered by the babygro. You should definitely keep the babygro - when she's fully grown you'll look at it in amazement that she actually fitted into it. Good that she doesn't need it any more though

Zenith (Liz) · « **Reply #72 on:** July 31, 2010, 11:09:20 AM »

When she was wearing the babygro i'm sure Nova felt he was missing out on something as he'd walk around sniffing the grow lol

Anybody want to borrow the baby, the new trick she's learnt today is scratching my wooden bed frame as well as all doorways and bannisters in the house

Sorry Luna but

shes is great and love the pics but but sure she feels great to just be wearing her fur suit again

maryas · « **Reply #69 on:** July 31, 2010, 00:33:21 AM »

So glad she is fighting fit again.

Love the photo and I have to agree about those feet

You must keep the babygrows

I reckon you should keep that pic for the next Purrs Cat Show.

PMSL at the pic!!! Glad she's got the all clear from the nasty cone and babygro. Loving the big feet

Feline Costumier · « **Reply #67 on:** July 30, 2010, 20:03:25 PM »

Oh bless her. Look at the size of those feet though!

Zenith (Liz) · « **Reply #66 on:** July 30, 2010, 19:53:47 PM »

Had her ten day post op checkup today and she's been given the all clear, no more cones or baby gro's!

She was weighed and she's 3.9Kg at 7.5 months! Big Baby!

This does mean no more laughing at this though

sheryl · « **Reply #65 on:** July 27, 2010, 20:30:42 PM »

So glad that she is on the mend - she looks so cute in that babygrow

Zenith (Liz) · « **Reply #64 on:** July 27, 2010, 20:13:47 PM »

I swear she's not getting bigger just longer!

Mia and nova had their booster vaccinations tonight and Mia's only a kg heavier than Luna.

The wound's looking great - currently supervising her without clothing or cone but if she starts grooming the cone goes back on

Lottie just thought you should know I bought 0-3 months size grows and she's almost too long for it lol

LOL at Luna and Findlay wearing the same size clothes!!!!

Michelle (furbabystar) · « **Reply #62 on:** July 25, 2010, 19:32:37 PM »

found the thread at last Liz lol

Poor Luna but she does look ever so cute in her babygrow

Hope it all heals up soon xx

I'm lnot looking forward to getting it back on her tonight, but we're back to the vets tomorrow and we'll see how it's looking

She does look funny though

Susanne (urbantigers) · « **Reply #59 on:** July 23, 2010, 12:53:09 PM »

I'm glad she's home and all is well.

But Luna in a babygro

Tiggy's Mum · « **Reply #58 on:** July 23, 2010, 11:06:02 AM »

Tell Luna I promise I didn't

Honest

Zenith (Liz) · « **Reply #57 on:** July 23, 2010, 09:13:33 AM »

Poor girl, I cut the sleeves off and made the bottom hole alot larger after this picture was taken and she was actually enjoying the freedom and being able to groom her legs - but she looked so silly.

I haven't put it back on since she wriggled out of it but i'll try again tonight as it's also heartbreaking watching her in the cone lol

maryas · « **Reply #56 on:** July 23, 2010, 00:05:27 AM »

We need pics of baby Luna

Mary

Zenith (Liz) · « **Reply #55 on:** July 22, 2010, 21:03:10 PM »

That'd be fun Kirst we'll have to arrange that soon, let me know a few dates you are free

Luna hated me earlier, I bought a few cheap baby grows at lunchtime today and put her in one after cutting the bottom out for her. It looked funny but she was happier being able to groom her ruff paws and legs - She managed to get it off earlier though so she's back in the plastic cone, which she can also get out of - she's an escape artist!

Lottie just thought you should know I bought 0-3 months size grows and she's almost too long for it lol

Kirst · « **Reply #54 on:** July 22, 2010, 18:43:19 PM »

Glsd she's home - and I would love to pop over for a spot of ~~catnapping~~ tea!

Janeyk · « **Reply #53 on:** July 22, 2010, 07:06:33 AM »

Glad to hear that she's home and ok

Glad she's home - bet you're like the cat that got the cream

I Hope for Launa to have a quick recovery!

Zenith (Liz) · « **Reply #50 on:** July 21, 2010, 18:03:37 PM »

Luna's now home sporting a new fabric buster collar and a giant surgical plaster over the wound. They gave me the buster collar as she's been licking the gauze of the plaster stuff!

We go back on Saturday then a week after that and hopefully we'll have no more problems

Zenith (Liz) · « **Reply #49 on:** July 21, 2010, 17:00:09 PM »

It's really busy so I'm still waiting to see her.

I was lucky Mary, the lady was really nice although her website isn't working luckily her phone number does!

maryas · « **Reply #48 on:** July 21, 2010, 16:43:13 PM »

So glad it went well and what about that lady who took her? Brilliant

I bet Luna felt like royalty having her own taxi

Mary

Zenith (Liz) · « **Reply #47 on:** July 21, 2010, 16:13:28 PM »

Lol good luck! Yes she's still long cat I'm waiting for her to fill out. Off to sainsburys by my vets just seeing If they sell any

Lottie (Team Svartalfheim's) · « **Reply #46 on:** July 21, 2010, 16:12:44 PM »

Right well I have only managed to try it on All That Jazz (who quite happily let me dress her in it) and it fits her around the front legs and body. She is around 2.3kg at the mo but a stockier build than Luna so I think that a 'tiny baby' sleepsuit will fit Luna ok (unless she needs her back legs through the legs in which case she might need a 'first size' for her long body length).

Lottie (Team Svartalfheim's) · « **Reply #45 on:** July 21, 2010, 16:01:20 PM »

Is Luna still in the long and lanky phase? I am giggling about her weight though as Findlay wasn't much heavier at the same age

I am off to chase Minxy's kittens around with a babygro and I will report back on size recommendations (if I have any arms left

)

Zenith (Liz) · « **Reply #44 on:** July 21, 2010, 15:43:00 PM »

Thanks Lottie, what size should I go for? She weighs 3.4kg but is a very different shape to a baby

Lottie (Team Svartalfheim's) · « **Reply #43 on:** July 21, 2010, 15:34:28 PM »

Glad she's ok

Asda do really cheap 'value' babygros in packs of 3 so she can have 1 or 2 on whilst the other 1 or 2 are in the wash: http://direct.asda.com/george/baby-clothes/unisex/3-pack-sleepsuit/GEM2273,default,pd.html

Zenith (Liz) · « **Reply #42 on:** July 21, 2010, 15:06:53 PM »

Kirst fancy popping over for a cup of tea tonight?

You actually can if you like but I have no babygrows to hand lol. I like at the end house of my old street, 54

I feel bad enough putting the cone on her but because the vet says she's worked out how to rub it even with the cone she'll need layers of protection

Kirst · « **Reply #41 on:** July 21, 2010, 14:53:18 PM »

Glad shes Ok - Don;t fancy your chances of getting a babygrow on her!

Zenith (Liz) · « **Reply #40 on:** July 21, 2010, 14:35:32 PM »

She's ok!

The vet said the most likely cause of the lump was a fatty cyst that formed around the stitches which were irritating her insides. They've kept aside a piece of it to biopsy but only if this wound gets irritated.

She's eating and is alert which makes me happy, but the vet's suggested cutting a babygrow to size for her as she's already trying to mess with her wound in the recovery cage

Den · « **Reply #39 on:** July 21, 2010, 11:55:23 AM »

Molly - puppy dog also had a lump near her stitches too. Although she had 6 of them. Fingers crossed it's nothing serious and all goes well

cheekycj · « **Reply #38 on:** July 21, 2010, 11:43:39 AM »

Awww bless little Luna....its awful having to leave them at the vets

Hope everything goes ok

JackSpratt · « **Reply #37 on:** July 21, 2010, 09:25:53 AM »

Hope Lunas surgery goes well and she's back home quickly. Big hugs to you too.

Zenith (Liz) · « **Reply #36 on:** July 21, 2010, 08:51:32 AM »

She's off to the vets now - in the waiting room I was talking to a lady yesterday who was really nice and told me she worked as an animal nursing assistant for 14 years. After the vet said Luna needed the operation I was figuring out logistics of which bus I could get or which taxi company would let me take a cat and the lady interupted and said she had a business and had a pet taxi service and gave me her business card. It was only £6 which is cheaper than the taxi most likely and Luna liked her too.

I wish I could have taken her there myself but the bus at this time of the morning would be a nightmare.

She's just text and Luna's safely at the vets

Desley (booktigger) · « **Reply #35 on:** July 21, 2010, 08:07:17 AM »

Fingers crossed for today - I have had one cat with a lump near her stitches, the vet just said it happened to one in x, and it went down in a few days.

Janeyk · « **Reply #34 on:** July 21, 2010, 06:51:40 AM »

Best of luck for Luna
