Clinic Day: Nov 17, 2011

The morning after...notice that kitty has been sleeping (or awake) in the same position. May have internal injuries that render it unable to move about or change position.

All comfy in the PTU. That's the PTU I travelled in that fateful journey between Sydney and Kuala Lumpur...it's OK for kitty to borrow it. Just for a while....

PTU shut, food and water supply included, off to the vet's for kitty.

Vet's Report:
1. Kitty is male.
2. Kitty's age: about three months old.
3. Kitty's weight: 400 gram - about 14oz.
4. Kitty's limbs are unable to move due to, most probably, abuse or injury that didn't heal properly. Only one hind leg seems to move as kitty was scratching his ears with it. Nerve system may have been damaged as a result of injury too. (oh boy! toilet training is a no-no at present, then)
5. Kitty is mite and worm farmer (eeeuuwwww!!!) and so was given a dose of anti-worm and wipes of Frontline for mites.
6. Kitty is undernourished.
7. Kitty to be brought to vet's again in a fortnight.

Mama took kitty shopping at PLC, got him some milk and kitten food, and then to the office as it was nearer, so that he can be fed. Uncle Abid was there to assist Mama with kitten feeding. He (and wife) has 13 cats of their own, mostly strays that they rescue from all over. His wife had even appeared on TV talking about strays and rescue work.

Kitty gets really special attention from Mama. None of us, I repeat, none of us ever got to drink milk from a bottle!

Close up photo of kitty. Look at his whiskers - they've been snipped off by some irresponsible #@$&%!!!! OK....I shouldn't swear but seven million curses on the cretins responsible. Y'all know how important whiskers are to any feline.

Angelina's note: Kitty is now officially adopted by the family and has been named Sebastian Vettel Jolie-Pitt. We chose that name as the name sake is the current Formula 1 champion....and so we want kitty to grow up and be a champion too. He has fighting spirit, we reckon. Other than having a very healthy appetite and loud demanding voice too. Still, purrrlease purrray that his nerves will buck up and he'll be able to move his legs...we shudder the thought of kitty not being able to do the bathing or cleaning up after poo poo and pee pee. Let's not even talk about toilet training for now. purrr....meow!  

Addendum: Read all about cats' whiskers here. A great website, I must say.
