Maya and Chevelle went for their annual exams and vaccinations yesterday. They have both lost a few ounces, which is good! Chevelle weighed 12.9lbs and Maya weighed 10.8lbs. So the cutting back on the food is working, yay! Chevelle checked out purrfectly, teeth, eyes, ears, heart and lungs all good!
Maya on the other hand..... Maya just had his dental cleaning in March and already he has some tartar build up and what looks to be the start of a cavity! The vet said the pH level in his mouth is not good. We brush teeth pretty often, but he's just got bad teeth. He also has a cataract in his left eye, but the vet said it's pretty small and is probably not effecting his vision. Wednesday night I discovered blood in his stool and as you can imagine I was pretty freaked out, given what we went through with Cal earlier this year. The vet said to keep an eye on it for now and if it starts happening frequently or he starts vomiting and acting differently, we will proceed with further testing.We wish everyone a very happy weekend! We'll be trapping for a big spay/neuter clinic on Sunday. Hoping the weather cooperates and so glad to see Hurricane Bill is staying away!

We're furry happy to hear you had a fairly good report from the VET. Maya, we hope you get at 100% ASAP!!! Good luck with the trapping, our mom wishes they did that over in these parts, there's a TON of ferals by our house! We hope you all have a furry pawesome weekend!
Some cats just have different genetics I think, like with teeth. Hope you all stay healthy!

Good luck with the trapping. Purrs to Mata.
Poor Maya. How well I and my tooth understand the problems of bad teeth. The vet said that was getting tarter build up again... sigh.
We're gonna put our purrator on for Maya!
purrrrssss

Poor Maya, I'll be praying for her !
We're happy that Chevelle checked out just fine, and hope that Maya's problems aren't too serious. My Dante has bad teeth, too -- it just seems to be genetic.
We're glad that they are losing weight and that Chevelle checked out purrfectly! We hope Maya is going to be okay. We're sending him purrs!
sending lots of healing energy for Maya so all gets better soon! Good luck on the trapping!
We sending special hugs purss and love for Maya :)))
I'm glad your weights are good! But I'm sorry Maya is having some trouble with his teeths. I do not like teeths; they always cause troubles!
Oh poor Maya, I hope the blood turns out to be nothing and goes away quickly! And the tooth thing is too bad - our kitty Kirzon has the same problem with the tartar build up - he is just prone to it. That is good that Chevelle has a good weight though. At least that was some good news.
We hope things go well this weekend with the trapping - we will keep our fingers and paws crossed for good weather!
With so many furbabies it seems to be always something, doesn't it? Please keep us updated on Maya!
We will keep Maya in our thoughts and prayers too. Hope your weekend goes well.
We, unfortunately, seem to be heading for a direct hit from hurricane Bill (sigh). We will remind our beans to stock up on water and extra (cat) food.
purrs,
Mindy, Moe, Bono, Cookie & Mike
Oh, I'm so sorry Maya is having problems with her toofs. That is very good news about the weight lose though. You look so cute on your leash!
We'll purr for Maya too, but The Good Human is on alert and will take good care of you.
Yay for a good check up Chevelle!!!!!!
Maya,we will send purrs so that you are not sick. Maybe things will go away and you will be back to your sweet self :)
Purrs Mickey,Georgia & Tillie
Thanks for all your support for us during such a sad time. We hope you can help lots of cats this weekend, good luck! the Cat Street Boyz & Mom Holly
I sorry to hears about Maya, momma says she knows dat must be hard after Cal earlier dis year. It tough when us furbabies not well. Momma says I is due for my yearly checkup but I no likes da carrier at all!
I hopes you has a furry good weekend and dat your trapping goes well.
Purrrrrrrrrs
Poor Maya ~ we hope Maya's teefies are better soon, and the other health issues. Purrs.
We will be purring and purraying for Maya....that everything will be ok.
You cats have been very busy! Yay about the ounces lost and we just love that photo of that orange kitty sniffing the outdoorsy airs (what' that kitties name?). Our mewmie works at a cat vet and knows all about those bad toofers in kitties, lots of FORL's (cavities) in most of them--genetic, pH in the mouth, even respiratory viruses may be involved...but you got good people caring for you and that's good, even though the dentist isn't fun!
Sorry to hear Maya's check up didn't go as well as Chevelle's. I hope he won't need another tooth pulled, and especially hope the blood was a 1 time thing. ((for you)) it's understandable you'd be very upset.
We hope everything gets better with Maya! Glad that Chevelle is nice and healthy.
We will pray and purr for Maya.
Thank you for the purrs for my human sister.
I am really glad that Chevelle had a perfect vet visit. I hope that Maya's teeth are OK and that the blood in the stool turns out to be nothing to worry about.
o0o0o0o0o you should get some Greenie treats and throw those in with breakfast! also, you can ask your vet about HILLS diet T/D for cats! If they write you a RX (prescription) you can get it at your local petsmart (it might be cheaper) and use the bites as TREATS only- not a main meal- very high in calories you'll gain the ounces back! It's special for the teeth- scrapes the tartar off! Benneh gets the stuff for dogs--- it's doing wonders!
I hope your spay/neuter trapping went well. I have been fortunate to spay/neuter 34 over the last two years.
Check out my blog about a colony of abandoned/feral cats near my home. There will be stories there as time goes on that could inspire and inform anyone you know who wants to help homeless cats.
