sickly cat?

[Tiggy's Mum]

Sorry, no thoughts on the health side of things...  I just wanted to say I'm in love with Dot, she has such an expressive little face

her food, well i try and stick to chicken based food as it seems to work the best, whatever type that maybe ( normally felix pouches) i tried a few variations, but that one seems to work the best so far with her! she has some dry biscuit in the mornings, (james wellbelloved) she drinks ( sometimes from the cat bowl....sometimes from the dog bowl) so i'm not worried about her fluid intake, just seems wierd it happens for no apparant reason....hence me thinking its over eating. when she gets a bad tum, nothing else affects her, she is as playful etc as normal...???

o/h just rang me to say she's been checked out and ok'd to be spayed next week at last! yay!

If shes off colour they wouldnt do her.

I would split up her meals so she gets smaller portions. What do you feed her? Often the rubbish ingredients/high grain in supermarket foods such as go cat can cause problems.

Shes a very pretty kitty

oh yes i forgot to mention worming....she was wormed with milbemax, then later on with panacur, wasnt sick on the days surrounding, so im assuming it was all taken in full, she was pickled in fleas too, which have since been sorted thanks to frontline....all of these did point to worms esp as the farm she was found on didnt treat tehm for anything, on her 1st vet visit she was given kaolin ( sp) the grey goo in a tube which helped a bit and made her more solid.  no food inparticular seems to spark it off either?
shes in with my neutered boy rather than out which is obv ok for the short term, im just worried the vet can refuse if she is ill?

Assuming you are worming her on a regular basis with one of the wormer's that is available from vets or online pharmacies and that the vet can find nothing wrong, it may be just one of those things.

I would hope the vet spays her very soon if not she is at great risk from certain cancers, pyometra, FIV & FeLV. And of course letting such a cat as Dot get pregnant would do her no favours at all.

dot is now coming up for 6 months ( from our guessed DOB 8th sept 07)  since the day i got her she has been sick on and off with the odd bout of the runs aswell, shes been int the garden a few times with me, but apart from that she isnt out on her own, she was a feral kitten from a farm, (part of a litter that we rehomed along with some puppies aswell) anyway back to it, 6 months on, we found kitten food was too rich for her, it flew out, adult food is better, but we keep it bland, however she is a pig, and will finish hers then work on someone elses, wether its kippers or the dogs she isnt fussy...she eveen steals off the worktop, or dirty plates, so we have been having to work on her not getting on worktops etc. but she STILL gets the squits ( aptly called by my 7 yr old son!)  kipper has always been a fit healthy cat, she dosent eat differnt to him really, biscuits are put out in the morning and evening meal is meaty. i have limited the amount in opne meal now as im sure she just eats cos its there?

does this sound like over eating to anyone else? i know its the case with dogs if they are fed to much it goes straight through them,
dot is ever so tiny still, very full of herself, playful and a normal lively kitten, am i just unlucky in that she is a sickly cat? will the vets spay her even though she randomly gets like this? they cant find anything wrong with her?
