Thread: A must have for Christmas!! Foot and hand warmers

Tough call, guys, but you've done the right thing by him, even though it's not going to be easy for you two. Don't forget, it's not just the leg that's different; he's got the cone, he's not used to having Amber on the floor with him, and he's used to hanging with the other furries, so he's going to be confused in more ways than one. I imagine you're right - once the collar comes off and he can spend time his pals, you'll get the first chance to see how well he's going to adapt. A friend of mine had to have a cat leg amputated and he seems to barely notice it from a mobility point of view.
Fingers crossed the cone can come off soon and he'll get his first real chance to be normal with the others. Keep us posted, we'll be thinking of you xx

He is a little happier this morning, he has eaten some Cooked Chicken and he has drunk some water on his own. Just now.

Amber had to stay with him he was just crying at the lounge door, he could hear the others and they could hear him so they were calling back. I don;t think its the leg that is bothering I think it is the cone, he is spending hours a day trying to get it off!! its only one for 10 days I think then he can meet the others, he has never been alone so that is not helping.. fingers crossed 10 day goes by quickly!! x

Poor Poseidon with his horrible uncomfortable cone...
Will he have to be separated from the other cats for the entire period?
Luckily he gets lots and lots of TLC from Amber. Hang on in there... only 8 more days to go.

Yes he will sadly, they will all try and clean it for him and take his stitches out.. although he nearly managed that himself today, he GOT THE CONE OFF... twice... had to out it on much tighter... I am counting the days!!

Sorry Poseidon have only just been able to get on to find out how you have got on
{daughter & partner been here for weekend,early xmas with her nan & grandad}they have just left to get back to Shropshire so fired 'puter up straight away.Tell mum you will soon be bouncing back,she knows she has made the right decision for your own good but it still doesn't help at the moment,think she will soon be posting that you are a happy little boy but of course being male you will milk the "arrhs"as much as you can.Do you think in a day or two that perhaps mum could pop you into a cage & let some of your other friends come & visit,they wouldn't be able to hurt you & it might brighten you up to see your bestest mates,could even make you forget the cone for a little while.At least having Amber to support you must be some comfort.
Love to your furry friends that accompanied you on "that day".
More cuddles posted for you but a big hug for mum Debbie too,think she needs one as well ... x

Thanks, Reading that made me smile...


It was a bad day for him yesterday, he was going around and around in circles trying to get is cone off, he got it off twice but then he kept on doing it, all he wanted to do was wash!! It made me wince every time he did it as he always seemed to land on his stump..

Amber spent one more night on the floor, I think your cage idea is a good one, I am taking him to the vets today after work so fingers crossed she says its okay!! and then we will be cooking with gas! His wound is superb, even when he did manage to get his cone off and pull it a little..

Not many more days to go. phew!!

Debbie xx
