[Closed] cats...ours is very ill 🙁

Paws crossed 🙁

Good luck. Fingers crossed he makes it OK.

All the best from us and ours.

Sparky and Jester wish Jerry well. I thought Jester was massive at 7kg....

Good news! Jerry is out of his operation and the danger zone. Vets bill already up to £1500!

I'm not sure how insurance companies actually make any money (paid out £8k to the frodo family over the past 6 years!!)

Yey! Paws crossed for full recovery!

Glad to hear that Frodo! 😀

Losing pets it a lot tougher that I thought it would be. I lost 3 in a 3 year period, so I know what its like.

Edit - my little cat only weighs 5.5 lbs. Yours could probably eat her for a snack.

Our current one is now 18, he's lost most of his teeth - just the one big pointy one left, he's had his thyroid removed and from being skin and bones is now looking a bit better.
He's obviously got some neurological problems as he has to turn around at least once before doing anything and he keeps falling off the chair arm
The vet doesn't think he's in any pain so we'll see how far he gets.

Any pics of this 9kg beast?

Glad he is ok.

EDIT: Surprised shibboleth hasn't been along to offer his services to save you on vets bills

Great news about the big fella.

good news 😀

Thats the big fella ...and also our new arrivals!

He's never 9 kilos?! I was expecting a Maine coon monster.

Good to hear Jerry is out of the woods.

Just shown the pic to the gf and she wants to know where we can get one of those. 6kg is tops here

Very dense. In all meanings!

Glad to hear he is out of danger zone. What happened to him?

Good luck for a full recovery and still 8 lives to go perhaps!

Jerry suffered a ureatha blockage. Very close to kidney failure. Full bladder probably added as kilo!

Two of my three say hello and are pleased yours is on the mend.

Good good good!

Best wishes from Evil Black Cat Mk I and Stupid Black Cat Mk II 😀

Fingers crossed for Jerry.My last cat Merlin weighed 10kg when we got him from the rescue centre and could eat a whole big can of food in one go,first thing Vet said was your cat is fat,slimmed him down to 6.5kg.

Bob sends his regards. He would get up but he's too lazy

Basement Cat takes a break from raising the dead to say Get Well Soon

Lost ours just before Christmas. He did manage to last 19 years and 20 months so "not a bad innings" and all that.

Hope yours makes a speedy recovery. Healing vibes from our gerbils...

I agree!

Bootsy and Horace send their heeling vibes to a "brother from another mother"

Good luck Jerry, hope the recovery continues.

Ouch! Pretty nasty and can get serious quickly. Good job getting him in to the vets.

Hope he takes to the diet ok and stays clear of further blockages.

Fingers crossed for you.

Savannah and Lynx send healing vibes

Glad to hear he's ok. One of ours likes climbing things, unfortunately he falls off occasionally.

(The other hates people and is quite camera shy.)

Must adopt cats soon.

Oregon and Sorley say: 9kg? we are totally quoting that next our fat asses get weighed...

Our current one is now 18

If you'd indulge me, I'd love to see a pic.

Now [sorry, not much light this morning]

how's Jerry?

Timmy says 'Get Well Soon', but please rub my tummy (and if you rub it too much, I'll scratch/bite you, but won't give you a warning first!)

My cats are sending death vibes to a potential rival.

I, however, hope that Jerry gets better and retakes his position in the Frodo household.

Is Bob the feline Patrick Moore 🙂

Gizmo sends her best wishes..

Thanks for all the positive vibes. Me and Mrs Frodo visited Jerry in hospital today. He looked distinctly grumpy!

The levels of toxins in his body had however reduced from 'off the scale' to above normal. So at least his kidneys still work. Not out of the woods quite yet as he may need another operation to allow him to pee. He's currently being emptied by the nurses 4 times a day!

Cheers, Frodo

Good news that jerry is on the mend. Hope things continue in the same direction.

The cat that we had when I was growing up had urinary tract issues. He had to take pills (fun!) and had to be on a certain type of food. Once in a while, he'd still have a problem, but he lived a long life. I think he was about 17 when kidney failure meant he had to be euthanized, so yours may have many years ahead of him.
