I always knew my little Felix was "special" but have just found out how special he really is. Unfortunately he really is spastic or CH to be correct - I just love this little kitten to bits and have disregarded all the things that I have been told about looking after a CH cat. Yes he does lick windows - and doors, shoes, stones, the bath and anything else he can lay his tongue on. He is crosseyed but thats not the end of the world; he can be a house cat if he wants or sorting a secure outdoor area for him. He does look really strange at the moment as his front legs are a lot shorter than his back legs but he walks fine - he does need to lean on walls etc but that isn't a problem. He can't make the litter tray unfortunately but apparently this is really common with cats with CH. Its really funny to see him as he can't miaow yet (aged 5 months) he bleets .... honest he sounds like a sheep. I luv this little scamp to absolute pieces and have researched his condition as much as I can - I know he will always be small, have co-ordination probs, never house train etc but have also been told about some of the other asociated problems like the no fear thing - he has none and he doesn't appear to feel pain? Does anyone else on here have a CH cat? Or should I keep an ongoing post about his progress to teach others. The harsh thing is the vet told me over 90% of owners with a CH cat have it put down even though they can live a full and long life. some people just can't be bothered apparently. This kitty is going no where ............. I love him to bits; the big cats look after him; they wash him, push him towards food bowls etc. I'm really just looking for advice as to ways of making his life easier if anyone can help please x Posted: Sat Sep 06, 2008 3:18 am clareabella TopDog Joined: May 21, 2007 Posts: 2289 Age: 23 No.Of Pets: 10+ Pet Types: Dog,cat,chinchillas,degus,mice,zebra mouse Karma: 12 Thank Location: stafford Medals: None 7765 PetPounds Items Status: Offline Post subject: awww sorry for your bad news, someone on here had a kitten with the same condition ( i think it was on here anyway ) They might still be a memeber and be able to come along and advise you. xx ____________ Posted: Sat Sep 06, 2008 9:11 am CatSlave Packleader Joined: Jun 11, 2005 Posts: 283 Age: 37 No.Of Pets: 10+ Pet Types: cats Karma: 0 Thank Location: Norfolk Medals: None 466 PetPounds Items Status: Offline Post subject: Thanks but it's not really bad news is it? He is still as loved as he always was - probably more seeing as he has problems. He is actually quite amusing, and so so loving.

Felix aged now 5 months reached a huge milestone for him today ....... he wee'd in the litter tray I know that TT and Splodge were going that 4 months ago but this is a great achievement for him. He has grown slightly as well he now measures 12cm from floor to shoulder (TT - TicTac .... 22cm brothers lolX) Bless him he got really confused earlier tonight as he was chasing a moth around the kitchen and kept pouncing an inch or so off target - but he did get him in the end lol x defo more by luck than judgement. As for putting a CH cat down? NEVER!!!! This lil kitty is so so loved it is unreal. Bear in mind I have another 8 great soppy furry purries - I could never ever replace this lil baby he really is one in a million and I really do love him to absolute bits. The older cats look after him. It's really cute at feeding time as Felix has probs standing upright without leaning on something; one of the big cats always gets next to him to let him lean into them. I think the other cats know there is something different about him but they love him as well. Ih talk of the Devil - having trouble typing as a certain lil kitty has decided that my hands could be put to better use and that my mouse is his prey x thinks that me saying nite nite x Posted: Tue Sep 09, 2008 4:07 am clareabella TopDog Joined: May 21, 2007 Posts: 2289 Age: 23 No.Of Pets: 10+ Pet Types: Dog,cat,chinchillas,degus,mice,zebra mouse Karma: 12 Thank Location: stafford Medals: None 7765 PetPounds Items Status: Offline Post subject: awww he certainly sounds mischevious bless him ____________ Posted: Tue Sep 09, 2008 10:01 pm Display posts from previous: All Posts1 Day7 Days2 Weeks1 Month3 Months6 Months1 Year Oldest FirstNewest First  All times are GMT Pet Chat Forum Index » Cat Forums Printable Version   Jump to: Select a forum Pet site information----------------Updates & AnnouncementsWebsite HelpSuggestionsFurbabies News Pet Forums----------------Pet HealthIntroshorse/donkey/goatsBird Chat ForumsHealthPet ChatExotic Pet ForumRodent chatFish ForumsPet StoriesRabbit Chat ForumPet Breeders & BreedingPet RescueOff TopicLost PetsFound PetsDiscountsRainbow BridgeDiet Cat & Dog Forums----------------Dog ForumsCat ForumsAgilityShows  Related topics  Topics   Replies   Author   Views   Last Post  SOME PEOPLE MAKE ME MAD 13 shadylady 1749 Sat Nov 01, 2008 3:37 pm Gypsysmum Pet Shop Puppy - a story...(this will make you cry) 24 pollaton 3397 Sat Nov 01, 2008 3:31 pm Gypsysmum Fun Dog Pics To Make You Smile! 21 Petguru 3293 Fri Jun 01, 2007 5:23 pm Lisa_Ianniello make your pet a superstar 0 shadylady 779 Sat Dec 30, 2006 2:09 pm shadylady Did your pet make you laugh today?! 17 Juminbu 2680 Tue Jan 24, 2006 5:22 pm Nosey   All times are GMT Ported for PHP-Nuke by nukemods.com Powered by phpBB 2.0.11 © 2001, 2002 phpBB Group :: Theme & Graphics by Daz Forums ©
