Charlie's been sick!

[Maddiesmum]

He hasn't been sick since and is eating like his normal greedy self.

[Bazsmum]

My Yagga is just over two and I am always seeing piles of fresh food vomit as he always races his food down...... (Ive had him from a kitten btw!)

Hope Charlie manages to hang on to his food okay!

Hopefully he will stop it once he gets it firmly into his brain that he has food regularly at home.

I hope so too but it doesn't always follow.  Tiny scavenged at first but I told him this is a nice neighbourhood and we don't do things like that.  I pointed out that I would have to ask him to leave if he continued.  He stopped    Rosie was another story.  She didn't go out scavenging (at least not to my knowledge) but she would attack any food in sight and if you tried to hand feed her a treat she would have your fingers off.  She was about a year old when we adopted her and she was still the same with with food right up to the end.

I have no idea where he gets stuff from.  Interestingly we had a residents' meeting last night and I found out that he visits five houses daily and eats their cats food!!!  None of them deliberately feed him he just takes what he wants it from their cats' bowls.  He is friends with all the neighbours' cats and Rosie (next door's dog too).  Little minx.  It was strange when two neighbours said "oh that's the cat that visits me every day".  I already knew he went to Nigel's Vicky's and Pats but obviously his social circle is larger than I thought.  He is fine again now, is playing well and demanding to go out but I wont let him this morning as it is stormy. Yesterday he spent most of the morning on Pat's bedroom window ledge watching the world go by. I don't know what I can do to stop him scavenging.  We have wheelie bins so it's not like there are bags of rubbish left out in gardens etc.  Think it must hark back to his days as a stray!  I know chicken bones can be dangerous and so far he has brought them home I think and I have managed to detach him from them and get rid of them.  Hopefully he will stop it once he gets it firmly into his brain that he has food regularly at home.

Taz brings chicken bones home amongst other tasty delights: chips, stale crusts, biscuits, congealed macaroni cheese and boiled cabbage 
Its normally my neighbours bag so we pick up whats spilt, wrap it up and put it in our bin

probably from the neighbours table lol.  I had a lovely rescue cat called Moggy who used to come over the fence in C Town with the neighbour's fried egg in her mouth and on one occasion, their 'boerewors from their braai' (fat sausage from barbecue). We had to pretend we were out ahem.

[CarolM (Wendolene)]

I think Charlie boy is a scavenger.  Recently, on two occasions, he has brought chicken wings home. 

Thats a bit scary -  if they're  cooked the bones can do all sorts of damage.  Have you no idea where he got them?

good that Charlie's on the mend and hope da Bird arrives asap!  Sounds like he ate something he shouldn't. Beans?? My Max eats melon including the pips if we aren't careful, then chucks up everywhere 
You aren't missing any beans from your dinner I hope?

Pleased Charlie is feeling better 

[pappilon]

I am glad Charlie is feeling better now.

[MrsR]

Hopefully whatever it was he has brought up now and that will be the end of it.

[Maddiesmum]

No it wasn't grass it was definitely something like green beans.  Anyway he is back to normal now, has played for England with his Da Bird but sadly it has snapped so have had to order urgent replacement as Charlie will get withdrawal.  He did a normal and slightly soft poop, hasn't been sick again and his appetite is restored to normal (or nearly).  Have postponed his vaccinations until Friday just in case and will still keep an eye on him.

[Desley (booktigger)]

Fingers crossed it is just grass, which is perfectly normal.

[Mark]

Sounds like he has thrown up grass which is completely normal but always wise to keep an eye 

Kylie often eats plant leaves (the grass type ones) they have never done her any harm.

[Maddiesmum]

Yes he does go out but he stayed in yesterday afternoon (not like him).  He has been sick again overnight and only licked the gravy off his food this morning.  Am going to ring the vet when it opens.  Charlie is due his second vaccinations tomorrow but doubt he will have them now. Fingers crossed for him

[Gill (sneakiefeline)]

Has been outside?

He may have munched somthing which he didnt orta and has now brought it back up.

Hope he will feel better tomorrow 

[Maddiesmum]

Hasn't wanted any food since just after lunch and has just now been sick.  Thrown up something that looks like green beans!!!  He is playful but just not interested in food.  Have to keep an eye on him I think
