Thank you all for your replies
It seems the common demonator of our "heart attack" kitties is the Da
Bird
Peanut & Evie do go mad for this toy i must say! I do allow rest periods and also allow the treat of catching it....even if it does fly away sometime later
this is also to preserve my attachments as peanut can snap the feathers off in 2 crunches and theres only so much cellotape a toy can take before its binned
I spoke to the vet today also, when there with Peanuts eye. She said the heat could also be a factor and to just keep an eye on her. She did feel that given her young age she should last more than 5minutes (on a cool day), but said to see how she is when it isnt warm and if i am still worried they'll just give her a quick check first of all.
My worry was like you,
Helen - where i pack her off for a full MOT and then they look at me like some neurotic meowmi when the panting is just normal
so thank you purrs for this forum otherwise my cats would cost me a fortune
I'm glad it isnt as rare as i thought though!! and apart from causing her to have mini heart attack the Da Bird is a quick way to exhaust a kitten who is on some sort of mission to wreck the place
she was caught chewing the handles on my windows! whats that alll about!!!
thanks
hippiekitty - when you think of cats like that, then i can understand why short bursts is what they do
thanks again all, i feel alot better about it! honestly - you'd think i'd never had a kitten before!
clearly Tazi & Nuggie were sloth like kittens - and of course they didnt have Da Birds back then! LOL
