Found Lost Kitten In Crete Need Help With Excrement

Also he looks like what we’d call a Mackerel tabby .. My Avatar is Buttons he recently passed away and he is a mackerel tabby..

I’m pretty strange when I comes to names most of mine are funny ones ..

At the moment we have “Miss Teeny Tiny Nutini” and we have a recent arrival “Little Mr Noodle”

Then we have Dr Jekyll and his sister Miss Hyde and finally Bob their half brother 🙂

Some of my Meadow kitties are “Lady Muck” who happened to be a boy and we had Maneki Neko after the Japanese beckoning cat she was Also Dr Jekyll , Miss Hyde & Bobs sister from an earlier litter and lastly we had “Smelly Cat” 🙂

Well when I say the airline needs a crate to ship an animal .. I mean it’s a kinda heavy dutie carrier with mesh and areas for food and water bowls .. Again the airline will have the specifics as each animals will require a different size crate and the airline will probably tell you where you can get the specific crate for your little fella some quarantine facilities may well sell on old used crates ..

I only know these things because we had looked in to moving for work to New Zealand a year ago and we would have had to transport 3 dogs, and at least 2 cats at the time.. Thankfully we decided we could never leave West Cork it’s too beautiful!

But things are changing all the time and what right for one airline or country are different for others..

Suitcase is a great idea.. I hope you enjoy your time in Ireland too 🙂 I am originally fromWicklow but grew up in Dublin and now have lived for over 10 years in West Cork 🙂 if you get a chance you have to come to West Cork it’s a spectacular part of Ireland! I will never move from here now!

Only watched Sherlock Holmes on the tube but really liked Irene Adler as smart woman and nemesis LOL.
OK, two more names to put out there. Perseus (Percy) and Andromeda (Andy). That’s it, that’s all. Blessings that as yet unnamed kitty comes through early days and grows into healthy (older) kitten stage.

Your very welcome Koren.. We’re all here to help if we can..

Peeing is fine sounds normal after all he is on KRM .. It’s if the frequency changes and he starts to pee a lot or strains to urinate or if there is blood in urine is when a vet is needed but he sounds just fine..

Also forgot to say if the vet tests him for FIV & FeLV ( feline leukemia) don’t be surprised if he tests positive many young kittens will test positive if their mother had it but it quite possible that this is a false-positive test as kittens can carry the mothers antibodies for these viruses Up until a few months old so it’s always recommended to retest after 3 months ..as it could just have been a transient infection..

FIV is really only transmitted through deep bite wounds.. Thats really the only way another cat can contract FIV.. And cat with FIV can live very long healthy lives as long as they’re wormed regularly and up to date vaccinations and ideal kept indoors to avoid picking up any infections.. The virus leave cats with a lower immune system.. My Bob is FIV positive and I give him daily L-lysine as it’s a natural anti Viral and boost a cat immune system.. He is over 3 1/2 now and he is Infact an outdoor cat but he is neutered doesn’t fight and I worm him regularly .. He recently had a chest infection but it cleared after three days with antibiotics ( which I try not to use as FIV cats at some stage might have a nasty infection that needs a lot of antibiotic an the more you use them the less effective they are so I try not to use them incase a day comes when they really need to work)

FeLV is a completely different story.. It’s a nasty nasty virus.. Like FeLV some kittens will have transient infections and they will retest Negative .. My Buttons ( my avatar and meadow kitty) tested positive for FeLV at a year old and it was a complete shock because he was an indoor only cat form 8 weeks of age.. But I refused to have him put to sleep I drastically changed his diet and designed a vitamin & amino rich & anti oxidant supplement plan and 6 months later he tested Negative ..

FeLV will almost certainly take a cat before they reach 4 years of age the virus turns cells cancerous and most young cats develop lymphatic cancer or sever anemia . FeLV can be passed on through bodily fluids such as salvia (mutual grooming )urine and feces and biting /blood… It’s recommended that all litter trays and food/water bowls be kept separate .. Some people do have both positive and negative FeLV cats living together but that’s normal because one cat is a lot older with a strong immune system and has the ability to fight off the virus but it’s always recommend to have all cats vaccinated against FeLV if there is any chance they can come into contact with a FeLV positive cat..

So don’t panic if he test positive a retest is always recommend and many kittens retest negative ..

@kj yea the Sherlock franchise is surprisingly good!

All wonderful news!! I think if you can just feed her when she wants it.. For a 3 weeks old only 4 feeds a day seems a bit too little.. And 300grms is right on target for a 3 week old so she’s a good weight…

If you feed her when she wants it then you won’t have here downing too much too fast because she’s overly hungry.. You don’t want kitten to drink too fast incase the milk goes down the wrong way that could lead to other issues..
