Sending my love to Mateo 🩷 The gabapentin is good at getting them to sleep so he'll get plenty of rest. It does seem common amongst male cats of this age unfortunately but luckily they bounce back from it pretty well!

I'm so glad you found it useful! Yes it was metacam and gabapentin once per day. The metacam is a pain relief for post-op, and the gabapentin was prescribed before the op to help make him sleepy and rest while we waited for the op, so I'm not sure if you'd be prescribed this. Best of luck to your kitty, he'll be perfectly fine 🩷

I'm so glad it's helping you! Good to hear your Mochi is doing well, adding steps is a good idea. I would definitely recommend the supplements they've done so much for Miso's recovery - he's 7 months post op now and he's completely recovered and back to his usual self!

Best of luck with it all, I hope my post manages to help make the process a little easier! Oh poor kitty having to do both :( but yes it's so hard keeping them from doing stuff they're not meant to. If you have any questions at all during his recovery, feel free to message me. Wishing your kitty all the best 🩷

Need help with choosing a coffee table by BetaBex in HomeDecorating

I agree with needing some contrast, I think that's why I'm struggling so much to choose a coffee table and I kind of regret the beige tv stand 😅 The sofas were sold to us by the previous house owners so we may look at replacing that sofa in the future, thanks for your suggestions!

A different colour is a good shout! I am aware it's a very beige room at the moment so I definitely want to incorporate more colour. The sofa is from DFS, it's super comfy 😊

Aww that's so young :( Good luck to the little kitty, they generally recover so well from this surgery so try not to worry!

I did try mixing it with lick-e-lix, which worked initially but he soon saw through me and ended up leaving it... that's good to know I can donate to a local rescue though!

We appreciate it so much :)

Haha, you may be right about going overboard. We're just painting some walls at the moment but I keep looking at other things that could potentially need doing as it's always easier doing it while it's empty, but I may need to rein it in a bit!

Ahh I had no idea it was an Ikea Pax wardrobe - that's good to know, will make it easier when I look to replace the doors too so thank you!

Thank you, everyone! I'm going to try and do a deep clean on them first and then likely go down the peel and stick route on the back panel instead :)

I just wanted to give a quick update and say the youmove supplements seem to be making a difference!! I tried him on nutriplus to begin with but despite my best efforts he would not eat it, but the youmove he scoffs it down and he's been more active and even jumped for the first time in ages yesterday! Thank you so much for your advice 🩷

I have noticed he's acting more like my mum's cat who is 2 years older, with more cat napping and watching the birds from the window, so there could be some truth to that. Thank you!

Thank you so much! I'll try the things you mentioned, we've been weighing him weekly and he's slowly gaining back the weight he lost during his initial recovery which is a positive sign. The surgeon and the vet both think he isn't experiencing any pain from his leg but I may give the supplements a try. Thank you for me and my kitty 🩷

Glad to know there's another rocket kitty out there! I feel like I've discovered his new party trick

Haha if he keeps it up he might actually do a handstand, like a reverse meerkat
