Smokey the cat, taken with my beloved old N900 back in the day. Nine years on and he's still with us today. He'd used at least one of his lives earlier the year that photo was taken when his bladder exploded while being boarded at the vet while the family was cruising incommunicado in the Caribbean. Before that I didn't know that there were people who specialize in veterinary urological surgery. |
Re: Maemalians : Friends of Maemo
ach...yeah...
urinary tract issues are the Achilles heel of cats sadly.. Glad he is doing well though... Unfortunately as well...when boarding pets... there is usually many other animals present as well.. that puts a lot of distress on an animal... Visiting a vet at any time ...also puts a lot of stress on an animal.. Especially for a cat...to be taken from its environment ..since cats are territorial...is also a lot of stress on a cat. And lastly...how much free open space to do what cats do ...and how much attention was paid to Smokey's care so his bladder wouldn't explode ...is also an issue. It is a very concerning thing that last one... either he did not feel safe enough in an environment that was frightening for him.. or his care was negligent. If ever I go anywhere ...ever...and must leave the house for extended periods ....which is rare...since I have no desire to travel away from paradise... I make sure that either a friend comes over to watch over the boys...or at worst a local pet sitter comes by to feed, walk and take care of their needs twice a day...since the cost of that personal care is cheaper, less traumatic and safer than boarding them. |

I still had to feed her with the bottle for the next few weeks. http://i64.tinypic.com/2s81h13.jpg http://i63.tinypic.com/20aqdzb.jpg |

Ah Kinggo ..
Excellent pics ...excellent models for your pics...never met a cat or dog or any other companion that wasn't photogenic and a camera hog to boot... :) Definitely you are hitting one of the 3 primary duties we have ( Really the only duties we have...) as a species. - helping to care for other species that share this place with us. Incredibly important . * (* the other 2 being caring for this place, and one another) I cannot say enough good, nor speak highly enough of you ...considering. |
