Discussion on Cats, Moggies and Felines in general [with Pictures]

That’s how our cats like it. BJ (ginger) and Pip.

Well, not good news, poor old Bean died on Friday, things were looking so promising. He wasn't our cat, but for some reason I had developed a great liking for him and of course hoped he recovered.

Who knew - there are pet ophthalmologists!

Bandit is 17yo standard issue cat with an entropian (bottom eyelid folds inwards) giving her goopy eye. Can do a surgery to try to fix the eyelid but it's a long one, no guarantee of success, and she's got a heart murmur so a bit of an anaesthetic rest. He thinks she's not actually in pain with it so we're going with keeping-an-eye (ha!) on it. If gets a corneal ulcer or something I think enucleation (removal of the eye altogether) will be next step.

You can see she's clearly suffering as she sits on my freshly planted coriander *rolleyes* (totally enclosed yard - she's not a free roamer and is confined inside at dusk).

You'd be astounded at the number of cataract surgeries they do on dogs
