...........Right I'm off to work on the patio. I am making it nice and secure so they can have some outside space.

Mog does seem to have fallen on all three paws doesn't he?

Angiew · « **Reply #173 on:** March 19, 2012, 10:35:52 AM »

so pleased with his progress. Well done you and Jon.

Good luck with the patio, hopefully the weather is on your side.

Hi, here is my Mog blog. Saturday night I decided to leave them all with the run of the house, they were as good as gold. He started off lying at the side of our bed but then decided to go down stairs. So far its going really great. They are getting used to his querky little ways. Sunday morning he was joining in with chasing the stick with Barney and Pen, which is Penny's favourite game. He did seem to spend the majority of Sunday under the sofa but he is very confident with the others when he comes out, I think he decided he just needed a nice quiet rest or its just a habit. He does have a bad habit of trying to get in gaps that are too small for him so I have been blocking all the gaps under the dressers. He doesnt have much interest in eating. I found this morning if I add others bits in with his c/d ie: hills and Whiskas Kitbits he seems to eat quite a bit more. So although its not ideal, its working for now. I will try slowly changing it to just c/d. He is enjoying his excercise. He's up and down the stairs quite often and he is pretty fast. Right I'm off to work on the patio. I am making it nice and secure so they can have some outside space. Tracy...

He looks distraught without you Angie, especially in that one where he is upsidedown getting his tummy rubbed

Hi, Mog is spread out on the sofa fast asleep at the moment. He decided to come down and do some exploring about 6 o clock and has staid down all evening. He still hasn't eaten much yet. They all seem to be chilling out a bit more . I have got a couple of nice photo's but the KB is too big and I don't know how to change it. If I can work it out I will post them here. tracy

Great to see you got him Tracy

Hope he starts to settle down soon and makes some new pals - very early days yet

Sending you lots of these Angie

and plenty more for Mog and his new family.

As you say, early days.

Angiew · « **Reply #161 on:** March 17, 2012, 13:20:06 PM »

oh well, early days...

remember that he is used to being upstairs as a norm and may well take a while to come down on his own. He only made it 2 or 3 times into our downstairs rooms and was then promptly picked up and put back in the hall (My fosters are restricted to upstairs so my cats can have free access in and out via the cat flap).

I am sure the fusses will win out

kittyland · « **Reply #160 on:** March 17, 2012, 13:06:21 PM »

Hi Angie and all Mog fans. He came out from behind the sofa about 10 last night. He saw the others and went straight back in. He came out a couple more times but changed his mind again. When I gave them their supper just before bedtime he heard us in the kitchen and came out. I decided to shut him in the kitchen/diningroom over night as I didn't want anyone picking on him. I left his dinner with him his water and tray. In the morning Jon went down and he had got into a very small gap under a dresser its only about 3 inches. He got stuck trying to get back out so I was frantically getting the draw out, he was fine and the gap is no more. He ate all his dinner in the night and used his and one of the other littertrays several times. He was pretty spooked this morning and Barney and Penny ended up as bad, Arnie just went back to sleep. He decided to go up stairs and hide in the walk in cupboard in our bedroom. About 10.30 I went up with the Argos catalogue and just sat on the floor talking to him. After about an hour he came out had a wonder round and some fuss and Barney walked in hissing so he ran back. Then Barney went to bed and he started wondering round again, came back for lots of fuss, Barney came back in so I kept telling him (Barney that is ) that he was a plonker and he wants to be friends and slowly he started to calm down. He is still upstairs at the moment but I am going back up soon to sit at the top of the stairs to see if I can persuade him down. I want him to come down in his own time when he feels ready. Will let you know what happens next, Tracy,

Angiew · « **Reply #159 on:** March 17, 2012, 11:35:18 AM »

Mog went to Tracy yesterday.
Thursday he used his tray well, was eating well and chasing after flies so I think he was ready for the move.

Have not heard how he's doing but suspect he's been sulking so there is little to report. Or at least thats what the sensible me is telling the anxious foster mum me. I bet Tracy is also feeling a tad nervous as well.

He went into his basket quietly, didn't complain all the way over there and did not seem to mind the curiousity of the existing family members, and slunk off to hide behind the couch so I did not get my final cuddle.

to Purrs Tracy

Mog is a bit of a star isn't he

Glad he is (hopefully) joining your family and hope you have enough time to settle him in with the other furries in your home. If you are able to post pics of em all, we always love pics

for all you have done for him to date Angie. Am sure it will be a wrench for you but a happy one .....

sheilarose · « **Reply #157 on:** March 15, 2012, 09:03:34 AM »

Tracy

I'm thinking Mogs repeat litter tray usage may be down to his newly flushed and stitched bladder/urethra, but I'd be very careful to monitor his tray usage when he moves in tomorrow (?

) in case he has ongoing waterworks issues. Hopefully it's just a bit of post-op swelling that's causing his frequent urination but best to be sure with his history.

As he's quite used to cage rest (and sinbin timeout, being such a bouncy boy) it might be worthwhile investing in a folding cage for him, then he can be penned when he needs to be rested / monitored.

Yes, you are an angel. I'm sure Mog will be the luckiest black cat after all.

Tigerlily (Allison) · « **Reply #156 on:** March 15, 2012, 08:39:53 AM »

Welcome to Purrs Tracy.

I hope everything works out and that very soon Mog will be joining you.

I'M currently typing with the wrong hand. Mog is laying on his back on my lap purring like a good'un (and wagging his tail).

Hi, I am Tracy Mogs visitor. Mog is coming to live with us and our 3 scallies Arnie, Barney and Penny, if the home check goes well. He will be with us on Friday. We are looking forward to having him, he is a beautiful boy.

Well I was going to say whoever is interested in him is an angel so I'll say it to your face

I'm sure many would be put off by his health issues, then there's the cat racists

that he gets to come and live with you

Oh, and

Poor Mogs

This story made me cry , all that he has been through

I hope he finds a wonderful home soon , bless him

Angiew · « **Reply #148 on:** March 14, 2012, 07:39:35 AM »

Well,
Mog has peed well overnight , albeit with more than a few visits to the tray (in fact 6 in the last 30 minutes, currently digging as I type!).
He is scoffing and wanting fuss as normal.
I have had an email from his visitors and we are going to have a trip to the vet this morning to discuss all things Mog.

Tiggy's Mum · « **Reply #147 on:** March 14, 2012, 00:26:57 AM »

Hope he starts to perk up soon and double

Fingers crossed for Mog both on the health front and on the home front.

Angiew · « **Reply #145 on:** March 13, 2012, 20:41:27 PM »

Mr mog was checked over saturday and they were happy with his progress. His stone results are not through yet.
Because of his wanting biscuits we have him on hills c/d (renal) which he is ok with and perversely he has taken an interest in wet food since I have put biccies down.

He has not used his tray today which is a bit worrying so if its still clean tomorrow may trot him back to vets. He is acting like a normal cat though. (as normal as he has ever acted that is)

He also had some visitors this evening who have gone away to think about it. I've suggested if they want to go ahead, we all go for a vet check together so that questions can be asked about when he can go and what future care he may need.

Angiew · « **Reply #144 on:** March 09, 2012, 08:27:44 AM »

mog is back to his old tricks of not eating very well or drinking much! so its AD diet at the moment the only thing he seems to begrugingly tolerate (just like last year). I'm sure he's ready for biscuits but he can't have them now so the next few weeks will be interesting while we try to find a 'normal' food.
Still on ABs , loxicam (what little he eats from the spike morning feed!) and some sphincter relaxant thing to make him pee - which he does little and often. Having put him in my bedroom boy do I know, scratch, scratch , sneeze. (He seems to have developed a sneeze which must be uncomfortable with an abdominal op).

However he does remain bright.

my cats and Mac and Pecan can't understand why I'm now a no-go zone at night.

Sending lots of positive vibes for a speedy recovery for Mog

Angiew · « **Reply #142 on:** March 08, 2012, 01:34:11 AM »

Mog is back with me this evening and is sporting a fabulous tummy wax and tummy tuck - he looks years younger!

he is happy to be back and has meds to take. The vet was very taken with him and demands I phone her up tomorrow to let her know how he's doing. He has to go back for a check up at the weekend.

He seems happy to be back home and is hopefully relaxing in his pen as I type, savouring the sounds and smells of his home for the past year.

Fingers crossed for a good recovery!

Liz · « **Reply #141 on:** March 06, 2012, 19:06:30 PM »

Angie sending :hug:s for you and Mog from us here we had Wispa with the same thing last month but no op hoping he is home tomorrow with his Mum

Angiew · « **Reply #140 on:** March 06, 2012, 18:53:52 PM »

Poor old mog is still at the vets. They phoned this afternoon and said they wanted to do the op. It was done late afternoon and the vets have just phoned up to say they found some more stones in his bladder . They are sending some off to see what sort of stones.
The vet said he would have probably blocked up again.

he's to remain in overnight and they will have him tomorrow as they want to see him pee. He is currently coming round from the op and is OK.

sadly, they told judith that they had to put a raggie to sleep at the weekend with the same problem because the owners could not afford the treatment.

Gill (sneakiefeline) · « **Reply #139 on:** March 06, 2012, 15:41:16 PM »

So pleased that he has passed a stone and as no more show he should be fine now.

thekittensmittens · « **Reply #138 on:** March 06, 2012, 10:09:08 AM »

oh dear, poor chap

hopefully though now the stone is passed there may be no more? heres hoping he feels a lot better soon

Angiew · « **Reply #137 on:** March 06, 2012, 08:27:35 AM »

Poor old Mog has been at the vets overnight, He was in a lot of pain yesterday and I rushed him in with what I feared was a blocked bladder.

he was dripping urine and they emptied his bladded with a syringe. He has passed a stone and other than that things look fine.He had a catheter put in last night and they took some xrays that did not show any problems or any more stones. He hasn't peed yet so I shall pick him up after work.

We could have gone further and they did say they could open him up to see if there was a problem but we agreed that at this stage we'd take him back and see what happens as it seems daft to put him through an operation when hopefully this may be a one-off.

Mog has now been with me over a year.

Gill (sneakiefeline) · « **Reply #136 on:** April 01, 2011, 18:48:54 PM »

Gradually it will just cover with fur as Duchas has and also they start to walk with the other leg more central to balance better but that will take time and they use their tail to help balance too

Angiew · « **Reply #135 on:** April 01, 2011, 13:57:10 PM »

no sorry, it is at the joint but it still looks a little stumpy where the skin is folded over. I suppose its more obvious because theres no fur
