Please keep Star in your thoughts/prayers

oh, I'm glad to hear your shoulder is feeling better, I had a few shots in mine, only worked for a short time, but it was nice while it lasted! turned out I needed surgery, why the shots didn't last long, but since the surgery, I've done much better

thanks, lunchz, she's anemic so we are trying to help her feed up a bit, and keeping her away from the other cats too Star is a very shy, and she's almost 9, but we really like her and any cat who isn't demanding constant attention around here is always appreciated!

Yeah, we hope so too, I would rather have a fat and timid Star than a skinny and touchable one...

Thanks, we brought her home and put her in a room the others aren't allowed in, but last seen, she was going to hide

Yeah, its tough to have a feral cat as a "pet". They really are just little wild animals that live in the house with you. Now, cats, unlike other wild animals, don't get as bad, but of course, we fix them too...

stomatitus is an inflammation of the gums, like an allergic reaction to plaque on the teeth We've pulled Taj and Pong's teeth already and need to do Solo

If it comes to pulling them, we will have them pulled...

One of my older cats had to have some teeth pulled and had a lot of dental problems. Maybe he had the same thing. After his teeth were pulled he was much better. I hope yours will be the same.

she's hiding but she's eating all the wet food that we seem to put down - so that's good.

I know how awful it is when our dear fur friends are ill. Recently,both goats were ill, one after the other, I thought Tulip was going to die...she didn't eat, drink or chew her cud for days and she was hiding under the house. Both are fine again now, in fact Tulip was downright playful with my friend and I and both the dogs yesterday. She was cheeky and sprightly - I've never seen her that way before. Last night little Roxy started to cry out of the blue. She hopped off her chair and came to me to be picked up but she continued to cry...very loudly and I didn't know what to do. I just held her carefully and talked softly to her then she let out a blood curdling, ear splitting cry so I put her down and began to rub/massage her chest and under her shoulders but above her tummy. She soon relaxed and stopped crying so I took her outside to walk around the yard. She was ok but she went to sleep on the floor here next to me and her little body seemed to be trembling very faintly while she was in a deep sleep. Today she is fine, running round chasing after Lucy, checking out the goats, she really likes Tulip. I'm sure she's ok now but that doesn't stop the fact that I was very worried about her. I'm sure Star will pick up really soon.

she's eating and she's taking the iron supplement the vet sent home in the food, so we are hoping that's a good sign...

I'm sure that the snowshoe breed is that way, but Star is just a pointed cat with white feet, in her case, snowshoe more describes the way she looks... She was found about 4 weeks old in a hole at a construction site, the man who found her had to get a tetanus shot because she bit him - thru his construction gloves!

Maybe she's part sabre-tooth...

thanks, she's eating well and getting around, so we can hope for her

awesome-that's good news:)

Well, Star isn't anything like a "normal" Siamese, she's really just a feral cat that got lucky in her looks... but we love her anyway...

hi ElicBxn Sometimes those are the best an most lovable really

yeah, making Star pretty unhappy we go in and check and the food bowl is always empty so we put more food in it

turns out she's also anemic, go figure, and she's currently hiding in the office

yes, she is a pretty girl, as I said, very decorative. I hope this fixes her up, her mouth wasn't nearly as bad as Taj or Pong's...

Thanks for responding back to me! I wish her all the best. Please let us know how she is doing. Take care Snow

Thanks, she needs it, because we won't be able to treat her when she gets home...

Thanks, pye, we are waiting to hear what the blood tests tell, but she came thru the surgery, so that's a GOOD start!

Thanks, she's never been cuddly, but she is very sweet and, honestly, when you have 15 or so trying to cuddle, its nice to have one that doesn't!

Thanks, maybe you should find an adult cat who is good with children, I have had a few like that. Recently placed one, Roxie, in fact.

Thanks, we want Star to hang around a while longer, she's so decorative to have around the house...

Thank you, and welcome to mylot!
