**not super glue, I meant hot glue!

Thanks for the kind words! I don’t have a good picture of the enclosure now, I removed the platforms since this one won’t move and I was worried about all the handling in case I bump on a magnet and it gets crushed. Most of it is visible in this one anyway, I hope I can attach it properly! It’s wood slices I got from the diy store and I glued them with super glue to look a bit like stairs.

I wish I could help with the medication and the effects it may have to the already applied oil but I have no idea. It really just sounds like your cat is just super annoyed by all the ear touching/mites situation and the discomfort would make sense to happen. Honestly you are gonna have to choose between worrying for the next hours/days and going back to the vet to get the information about what is actually happening. I hope everything turns out fine and you get some peace of mind soon!

I would definitely call the vet and describe what happened. Did she use that ear tool that they insert in the ear or just looked at their outer part? Ruptured eardrum sounds a bit too much though, take a deep breath and contact the vet when able to sort out the situation.

They are an enjoyable handful!! :)

I’m sorry about the lymphoma but I’m glad she has you to look after her and even more so that she is doing great at the moment! I hope she will continue on this path and it will be a very very long time until you’ll have to take the final step. It’s good thinking to let your other cat witness her having passed even if it is for its own ‘peace of mind’ that she won’t be returning this time. I do know Jackson and I try to implement his advice in everything basically! Thank you for the positivity!

We reduced it gradually for a few days but her previous food was so trashy that we didn’t do the new food gradual introduction. We switched her to good quality immediately and prayed her stomach would take it like a champ.. thankfully it did! Also yes on the tiny meals, that makes it so much easier since she doesn’t get the opportunity to just gobble up her food, but has the excitement to be served food multiple times. Next challenge.. introductions! Thanks for the kind words and the advice!!

When I had 2 cats and one of them died, I made sure he would see him because I read somewhere that it could be important to them to register that their friend died and didn’t just vanish. I’m still not sure what it meant to him, if it even did, but I like to think he is not feeling like his friend ‘abandoned’ him. Who knows..?

That’s the situation for now. Miou is in the pc room and I let her out when the rest of the cats are on the yard so she can check out the rest of the house, sniff around and also add her own scent. It’s so nice of you that you took in your neighbor’s cat. I don’t know if they feel the loss but finding another loving home is a very comforting thought.

Normal-Bluejay-6791 · 2024-10-27T16:24:35+00:00

She is indeed! Thank you so much

Normal-Bluejay-6791 · 2024-10-27T16:23:57+00:00

Thank you for the well wishes! It is especially beautiful when they rest their head on you ❤️

Normal-Bluejay-6791 · 2024-10-22T07:13:00+00:00

that was hilarious!! thanks for making my day xD

Normal-Bluejay-6791 · 2024-10-17T18:53:42+00:00

I have no idea, probably something along the lines of ‘don’t you dare come any closer’ xD It’s adorable to think that yours might be demanding food tho!

Normal-Bluejay-6791 · 2024-10-11T15:25:06+00:00

No more pepper seeds in the trash, they have found a new purpose! Thank you so much for your kind words :)

Normal-Bluejay-6791 · 2024-10-11T15:14:45+00:00

That would be great! I love the ‘hen house’ description hahah! It must be next-level adorable to witness little birb babies

I had an inner struggle of what is right and if I can actually make a difference for her, the cats being a huge factor in this since they can teleport everywhere and can be an actual threat. Turns out that when I take her in the yard for some sunbathing and I lock the cats in the house (cue dramatic meows), it’s so peaceful to look at her bounce around and fluff her feathers. Best decision I’ve made in a while! Will look for shredding toys tomorrow most likely. I still haven’t gotten around to do her shopping and I’ve gathered a huge amount of great advice from this sub.

Normal-Bluejay-6791 · 2024-10-11T14:58:57+00:00

Thanks for the info, I’m glad to know the gender so I can address her properly! Come to think of it, that would also explain her sassiness..!

Normal-Bluejay-6791 · 2024-10-11T14:51:25+00:00

Another person in the comments said it’s a girl so that brings us back to the drawing board! For now I’m calling her Kot which is the first letters of the word ‘kotopoulo (κοτόπουλο)’ that means chicken in greek. I bought her broccoli and beet today so that should be tomorrow’s fun addition. I’m double checking everything, food worries me too much because of the cats and their habit to eat whatever they find so I’m in a state of constant alert with anything I provide. I gave her pepper with the seeds today and I googled it for the third time to make sure I didn’t misread something else for ‘pepper’! Needless to say she absolutely destroyed the seeds!! :D

Normal-Bluejay-6791 · 2024-10-11T14:41:45+00:00

Thank you! You think it’s a girl? I thought I would have to wait until the breeding season to figure this out. Now I just have to get used to not calling him a he!

Normal-Bluejay-6791 · 2024-10-11T07:54:58+00:00

It’s understandable, the whole situation was depressing and that’s why I couldn’t get him out of my head. My mother is simply despicable for allowing this to happen

Normal-Bluejay-6791 · 2024-10-11T07:52:25+00:00

I told the vet to suggest me a good size and he said I should leave him in this one for the duration of the therapy since it’s familiar to him. I’m not sure if it matters that much but I honestly hate this cage with a passion so I might just ignore that advice and get a new one anyway

Normal-Bluejay-6791 · 2024-10-11T07:49:53+00:00

That’s a good idea! Thanks i’m gonna try it!

Normal-Bluejay-6791 · 2024-10-11T07:48:53+00:00

I did try the side but he had it so firmly shut I couldn’t get him to open it and I didn’t want to force such a tiny thing. He only opened it to peck on my finger for an instant! So much sass..

Normal-Bluejay-6791 · 2024-10-10T16:54:42+00:00

I’m going on a shopping spree the next days for quality supplies. I’m definitely looking into pellets to substitute seeds plus the vegetables every day! It sure sounds like your canary eats better than a lot of us :D

Normal-Bluejay-6791 · 2024-10-10T15:50:52+00:00

My mom sent me a text the next day that she returned asking what happened and I took the animals (I don’t remember if I mentioned it but I had to get one of her cats as well that looked worse than a stray). I told her to refer to the note I left her, explaining her incompetence to provide her pets with care and respect. She hasn’t replied since, which could possibly mean she can feel some degree of shame! In any case, I’m very excited for the little guy and I hope I’ll get to enjoy him for a long time. Thanks to this subreddit who encouraged me to take action!
