Title: Marvin the Mucky (Homed)
Post by: Teresa Pawcats on January 28, 2007, 22:54:50 PM
This is little Marvin at 5 months old he has had more homes than some people have had hot dinners. He is a dear sweet little boy who despite being neutered on Friday mounted poor Minimopsical this afternoon and proceed to take some exercise.We had allowed him out of his pen for some people to view him and to show that he is good with other cats.
Well Marvin was just a bit too lovey dovey and didnt get the home :) hopefully those hormones will settle soon.

Poor Minimopsical!  :-[ Adolescent boys, eh?

Marvin is lovely - what a shame that he has been passed from pillar to post. Fingers crossed that the right people come along quickly for him.

Gill To be honest I think poor Minimopsical enjoyed his amorous advances,she is after all an attractive cat and yes she was spayed over 2 years ago. The area he came from is very rough and people rarely keep a pet more than a week or two.

Saffron if I get a little free time I will do a thread of my black beauties.

Post by: Teresa Pawcats on February 01, 2007, 19:34:56 PM
Marvin is a mucky maniac, so far his skills include
Humping Minimopsical - both seemed to enjoy
Riding bareback on Polly - she is truly disgusted
Attempting to mount Winnie - Shes learnt to run very fast
Failed attempt at mounting Tula - he wont try her again
Worst of all hes twice mounted Buster the President  -  Buster is reeling from the shock of having to take his claws out of retirement :rofl:
He really is a lovely boy , I have bought him a nice new bed today as he was humping the old fleecey one too much. :rofl:

Sounds like Marvin is quite a character and he certainly is a smashing looking young chap. I hope he finds his forever home soon. It's good he gets on with other cats; the fact that he get on & off with them makes him all the more lovable. :hug:

Myself and him had a quiet moment together earlyer on and we both watched some TV on the sofa together, then it was back to exploring for Marv!

Just playing some hide and seek at the mo.

Here is the one pic I managed to grab as he was on a mad 1/2 hour......

Took Marv for his 2nd jab on Tuesday, he didn't look too pleased about that!  The vet checked him over and found a slight heart murmur, she said its common in kittens and should sort its self out  :scared:  she said it could also be because he is scared of the vets and that has upset him alittle, hope this sorts itself out!! I think I will take him back in a week or so to see if its sorted its self out.


Any thoughts on this??? should I be worried or does this sort of thing sort its self pout given time??



Paul.
Title: Re: Marvin the Mucky
Post by: Teresa Pawcats on February 15, 2007, 09:30:20 AM
Paul this is fairly common in kittens and usually sorts itself out as they grow older, I wouldnt worry about taking him back to the vet for a few months unless he displays signs of being unwell. It must be very slight as it wasnt picked up at first vaccination or neutering time and we both use the same vet. During the time he was with us he was what I would describe as being a 90mile an hour kitten and never once became breathless or showed any sign of anything being wrong, so try not to worry.
Might be better for you to call in and speak to the vet on your own and explain how worried you know feel, I am sure they will explain things more carefully and reassure you.

Hehe Marv is still very much a 90mph kitten and shows no signs of breathlessness after a good workout with that peacock feather which is showing its age now  :evillaugh:

Thanks for the advice Teresa  :)

It's always fantastic to think about the difference between the cats' former lives, and where they're at now. A couple of months ago, Marvin was being passed around from home to home. Now look at him!

Well done as ever to Teresa for rescuing him, and to Paul for giving him the sort of home he deserves  :)
