but he would get to be on the late late show about 5 times a year and go to Europe and probably get more votes from his popularity here

Nope I've spend way too much time around cat genitals to have any shame :P (Just realised how awful that sounds, I'm talking about my dealings with the Dude here :P)

Yay great to hear little Scrap (see what i did here :P) is holding up! Keep going that way - and kudos to yer Mammy - she's doing a great job in keeping you alive!

And should the little mite need a vet's visit, I for one won't be shy to chip in!

Are you reading the thread at all?

Chance is a great name - since the OP has given the kitten a chance of survival!

the kitten is not eating you fool.

Okay NipNip, that's quite enough.
Before I lost phone coverage earlier, I asked you by PM to tone it down a bit, just to save your blushes instead of saying anything on thread.
But now I see you've descended into being abusive, arrogant, and very hard to take seriously.
Have a wee break from the forum to reflect on how you need to address other posters appropriately.
Thanks,
DBB

What do you folks think, will we give him 6 months before it gets to this stage?

​

New Home

I'd call him/her Blessed... That way, when you're looking for him and he's hiding somewhere, you can say "Where's that Blessed Cat!?!"

Besides, he IS blessed...

See how he goes with the next couple of feeds without it, if he's still feeding as well then you can stop it all together, if he weakens a bit again then you can give it as needed. Glad to hear he's doing so well this evening

yeah what sillymango said.

He seems to be thriving now and getting hungrier which is a great relief, let him get plenty sleep now.

Yeah he'll just spontaneously combust if you use anything other than your own body heat :P

He'll be fine with the hot water bottle don't worry! Get some well earned zzz's for yourself. I don't envy the night feeds :P

shur cork is only a bit of a skip up the road from you and your used to unsettled nights with your crew

I don't know about the rest of you but I'm sitting here, frightening the dog because I'm laughing right out loud and crying at the same time!!! I'm so delighted to hear of the kitten's progress I'm nearly beside myself!!! Well done damagegt, you're a total star........that beer is well deserved and begs for a partner or two!

I'm so happy I won't be able to sleep!

tinfoil,naked skin and hot water bottles.Sounds like a posh Macgyver recipe.
Thanks again everyone.looks like hes doing much better now

We sent our first cat to get spayed and the vet called to say he couldn't do it as the cat didn't have the necessary parts :eek:
We got him neutered instead.

Don't forget the paperclip, the rubberband and the ducktape - you're no McGyver without them...

1.Wrap kitten in tin foil.
2.Place kitten on hot water bottle for 1 hour turning occasionally
3.Serve with milk and enjoy

I don't know if anyone has said this but at that age the kitten is not able to empty it's bladder on it's own, you have to turn the kitten on it's back and wipe it's abdomen down with a cloth until it produces urine. In the wild that would be done with the mother's tongue. Do this a couple of times a day. Apologies if you have already been advised of this.

Beautiful kitten OP. Is it me or does it look like a longhaired kitten? Maybe too early to tell.

I never knew that!....

This thread has been a fountain of knowledge apart from the "good feel" factor that there is some good in the world (thanks to d) for kitty's out there!

Kobibd

World needs more people like yourself in it. Brilliant what your doing and hope all works out for you and the kitten:)

Most certainly long hair.Hes about half the size in person then he is in the pictures.Hes all hair.He has got some giant size paws.They seem excessively big compared to his body.
