So glad that they are all okay.
Im hoping that when Mellika is spayed she has the internal stitches - did they glue the skin together ???

You can ask for glue and see what they say. I think its great as my 2 girls had removed their stitches within hours but no probs as the glue held. No cones, just marvellous!

Yep, it looks like it has been glued, its not a very big scar just a couple of inches long, just hope the other two don't start jumping all over her.

Hey everyone they are great and just as lively as ever, you wouldn't think they have had anything done,gave them a bit of food as the vet said,they want more but they will have to wait,don't want them beeing sick. so I'am eating my tea in piece (otherwise they will be after this)
Only Sky (the female) has to go back the vets next week for a check up. She is jumping up everywhere trying to catch flies. Her stitches are iinternal. But have to keep a close eye on them incase of any bleeding

Susanne
maybe I will put one back inside and keep the other two litter trays outside and see how it goes,they prob won't want to go out for a couple of days or so anyway when they come home.

Susanne (urbantigers) · « **Reply #22 on:** September 04, 2007, 14:26:23 PM »

Good luck with the neutering. I'm sure they'll be fine but you'll be glad to get them home

It sounds like they prefer to have a tray indoors. Maybe the move to their house is just too quickly. If you keep a tray indoors they may start using the one in the outdoor house more often until you get to the point where you can take away the indoor one.

Felix (Caroline) · « **Reply #11 on:** September 04, 2007, 09:13:30 AM »

Just come back from the vets,will be ringing them about 4oclock to see how they are.
Our Cats have always had litter trays in the house since we have had them,its just since we put them in there litter den, they have been weeing in the sink e t c quite a few times. They have been used to a cat flap too because they always go outside in the cat run through one. I think Sabre just doesn't like going in the litter den as he might feel shut in.He did seem very nervous when we first brought him home and took a while to get used to people even.I think he is just more cautious than our other two Bengals.

Desley (booktigger) · « **Reply #10 on:** September 04, 2007, 07:48:36 AM »

I would put a tray back in the house and gradually move it towards the run, especially as they aren't sure of the cat flap. And as they are being neutered, they definitely need something closer to them.

Gill (sneakiefeline) · « **Reply #9 on:** September 04, 2007, 00:34:23 AM »

If the weather is horrible and they are in a hurry, trays definately still need to be indoors too

Even with litter trays outside it would not necessarily be beneficial as it could be e.g when a cat has cystitis, you keep hearing the cat in the tray if the tray was outside you may not realize soon enough.

Thats how i caught Isseys Cystitis last week.

Ela as far as I understand it her cats will be having litter trays still so she will be able to keep an idea of what is going in the tray (just the litter trays will be outside in their cat house rather than in the human house)

hubby has just finnished making them a house in the run and somewhere they can go the toilet, the thing is since we have put the litter out side they have been weeing in their bowls or the kitchen sink, even one of our saucepans

Cats Protection advise always provide a litter tray irrespective of your cats age even if they are allowed out, if you keep an eye on what your cat is passing, you can spot many problems, e.g. cystitis is very common in cats and needs urgent Veterinary treatment. It is shown up if the cat uses the tray frequently and/or passes blood, something you would never know if you didn’t have a tray. Ideally one litter tray per cat is the best option in multi cat households..
Last year it was necessary to have Trudie a long term CP cat PTS due to bowel cancer, I would like to think that Trudie's untimely death has not been in vain as a lesson can be learnt from it, and that is the reason why everyone should always provide a litter tray no matter how old the cat and irrespective of the fact that it may go out. So many times I am told oh! I have no need for a litter tray my cat goes out now. Had Trudie no access to a litter tray the cancer would have continued to get the better of her and she would have suffered, she looked purrfectly well and it looked like there there was no reason to take her to the vets, the only reason we took her was because I noticed she was going into the tray more frequently than usual and there was blood on most pooos and drops in the tray. None of this would have been noticed had we no tray we don't know what our little ones are putting in the hole in the garden.

Team Svartalfheims · « **Reply #4 on:** September 03, 2007, 16:03:33 PM »

I think it would be a good idea to still leave one tray in the house even once they've figured out the cat flap as if the weather is really nasty they aren't going to want to walk all the way outside to go to the toilet, also if they have an upset tummy they are more likely to make it to an indoor tray than an outdoor one.

Good luck for tomorow morning.

Our Three Bengals are getting neutered tomorrow morning Sabre Simba Sky, hubby has just finnished making them a house in the run and somewhere they can go the toilet, the thing is since we have put the litter out side they have been weeing in their bowls or the kitchen sink, even one of our saucepans Sabre won't even go through the cat flap which enters the cat litter den.He will go if we leave the doors on it open but cant do that in the rain will put some pictures up within the next couple of days can't do it on this pc, will have to use the other one.

I would definitely get a litter tray back indoor for the time being. They probably just need time to adjust to the new arrangements. Same goes for if they've never used a catflap before, they need time to get used to it. Leave the doors to the den open when you can, and if you need to close the doors, fix the cat flap open so's they don't have to work out how to get out, or have this horrible thing flapping at them everytime they try to go out! They just need time to acclimatise, but deffo get a tray back inside to avoid any more 'mistakes'.

Don't you have a tray in the house, then?
