Sick One Year Old Kitten?

Wednesday, February 17th, 2010 at 7:28 am

About 11 months ago, we got a new kitten, and she just recently turned on year old. Sunday morning, we had accidentally left her out all night (she’s strictly an inside house cat, BTW), and she had gotten into some Fudge Rounds. I had just woken up and one package was completely open, with a Fudge Round on the other side of the kitchen. Like I said, I had just woken up, so I don’t really remember if there was chunk missing from it or what, but anyway, she was doing fine throughout the whole day. She acted like normal, and we put her in her cage on Sunday night. The next morning, she had had a bowel movement in her cage, and we let her out, and she didn’t act right. She went into the kitchen, threw up, got a drink of water, and then jumped on top of the kitchen chairs and slept until we had to leave for school/work and we put her in her cage, where she had made another bowel movement in. This time, it didn’t look right. It was a mixture between soft and hard. That night, she had thrown up twice, both had a little bit of a pink/yellow tint to them, and then she had two bowel movements on the kitchen floor and they were extremely watery. One even looked like it had blood in it. Which, I barely thought about since she has had blood in her stool before, and it never bothered her, it just seemed like a normal type of thing for her. BTW, her three siblings died within months of being born. She then started going to the litter box to make bowel movements, but it was still extremely runny and watery, but she stopped vomiting. After last night, I haven’t seen her make a bowel movement at all, nor throw up, but she still occasionally takes a drink of water, which is good so she doesn’t dehydrate, but she still refuses to eat. She’ll also stretch and want to be petted a bit now before falling asleep, but she still looks week, and it scares me that she hasn’t had a bowel movement in a while. We’ve already decided to take her up to the vet if she doesn’t get better by tomorrow.

Your cat needs to see the vet ASAP. Chocolate is toxic to cats, and if she ate much, she may be terribly sick.

Go this site and read about chocolate…….., then, "bookmark" it for future reference……..

Hope you decide to take her to a vet ASAP…..she may be in serious trouble.

Hope this helps………Good luck.

Yup, just take her to a vet.

BTW, if she’s a year old she isn’t a kitten anymore, she’s the equivalent of an 18 year old human. So I hope she’s spayed coz if not, she will end up pregnant next time she gets out, if she isn’t already!!

A Word About Choosing Bar Stools

Finding and choosing the right kind of Bar Stools or counter stools for your bar, home or your kitchen is an important part choice, as many different sizes, materials, finishes and colors.
First of all, decide if you are choosing Counter Stools or Bar Stools, as they are somewhat different. Bar stools are usually a little taller, by around 4 inches. A good measurement to consider is to make sure that the stool's cushion or seat is about 10 to 12 inches from the underside of the bar or counter. That way, you know that you and your guests will be seated comfortably and have suitable leg room while seated.
Sometimes you may want to go with backless stools, if you don't have a lot of space or room. They have no backs or arms and so they are easier to move around.
Another important consideration is choosing the right height of the foot rests of your bar stools. If you don't get the right foot rest heights ahead of time, you may not be getting the right stools and people will not be very comfortable or have proper leg room while sitting at your home bar.
Of course, seating comfortably will be different for everyone, but if you sit and see the foot rest height is good for you, it will probably do for most. Unless you are getting custom bar stools made for you, you have to get them with the foot rests as they are.
Take your measurements with you when you go shopping and know the heights of the counter or bar surface and underside and ask for help from the salesperson if you are not sure of what sizes to get.
If you purchase adjustable barstools, where you can raise or lower the height of the stool itself, then it's easier to allow the user to adjust to find the right height for the most comfort while sitting. This is ideal if you want to use the stools for different places in your home, from the kitchen counter to the home bar or a kitchen island, for example. Most brands and makers of kitchen and bar stools that are adjustable allow about 10 to 15 inches, which can accommodate almost anyone.
