I has a kittin...for now...

Post by SilverBrumby »

But sadly, we may not have him for long.

This is Star, named for the little snip on his nose.

We've only had him a few days, and it turns out he has a birth defect in his spine. The most likely outcome is that the slight paralysis in his
hind legs will get worse until he loses all control of his back end. The vet can't say whether that will take a few weeks, or a year. If he can last for
a few more months though, there is a chance the bones will fuse before his spinal cord is completely crushed, and he'll just be lame. He's in no
pain, and for now he can still out run me, so we're giving him a chance, to see if he makes it.

He's a nice natured little kitten, he'll make a good indoor cat if he survives.

Well, so far he isn't noticably worse, and although he's wobbly, it doesn't seem to slow him down.

Although now that he's settled in, I've figured out what his real name is.
I keep calling him, "Get out of that, you little bugger!" :D

Just like "You", the cat from the latest Discworld book :)

My parents' dog thinks it's either called "Oi! Stopthat" or "NO!"

Mate of mine had a cat he actually called "Kitchen" 'cos it was just easier on everyone. (Litter tray was in the kitchen - room, not cat)

Star looks appealing, hope he's OK.

His hind legs are still no worse, so I really think he's going to make it now.
He has trouble controlling his tail, too, so he wags his tail like a dog when
he's fired up over something. :lol:

I've been meaning to put up some photos of him getting into trouble, just to
show what sort of things Teify will be doing soon. I've been stupidly busy the last
couple of months though.
