31. My husband has the kitty towel burrito-wrap down pat (phew tongue twister. Say that 6x fast!)

No way are they getting free.

I can never get mine "tight" enough - the cat always manages to get a paw (claw!) free and then I have the double whammy of kitty bite AND scratches.

KITTY MYSTERY: I found a single drop of blood in their room after they were [View all] GreenPartyVoter Aug 2012 OP

I don't think I'd worry, my dear GPV... CaliforniaPeggy Aug 2012 #1

I am assuming this is the case, but in the back of my mind there was a niggling thought about GreenPartyVoter Aug 2012 #2

Ah, that could be... CaliforniaPeggy Aug 2012 #3

I hope so. Kitties are tricky because they so rarely act like they are in pain, and litterboxes GreenPartyVoter Aug 2012 #4

cats are notorious for UTIs, and a drop of blood is very possible. Keep an eye on them. n/t progressivebydesign Aug 2012 #5

Will do! I saw Trixie licking her tummy tonight. I thought it was an old habit from GreenPartyVoter Aug 2012 #6

If the cat is a female, no. Even after being fixed, they still drop blood once in a while. HopeHoops Aug 2012 #7

I have one of each, both fixed. Good luck to your little boy! GreenPartyVoter Aug 2012 #9

Well, either way, one spot isn't a problem, but a trail needs to be checked into. HopeHoops Aug 2012 #12

Poor little Bun! Hope he is a happy, healthy little guy now. :^) GreenPartyVoter Aug 2012 #15

He's a spoiled little shit. If he doesn't get a hand-fed yogurt drop he throws a temper tantrum. HopeHoops Aug 2012 #17

LOL What does a bunny temper tantrum look like, anyway? Rainbows and fluffy clouds wrapped up in GreenPartyVoter Aug 2012 #19

I'm going to assume that you've never seen one throw over his food bowl, potty, and water dish. HopeHoops Aug 2012 #25

LOL I always assumed the MP bunny was an exaggeration. I've never had a "bun" (That's what elder son GreenPartyVoter Aug 2012 #28

They go from fur-cuddle-purr-ball to all claws in a fraction of a second. HopeHoops Aug 2012 #34

That sounds like my Trixie cat. She's pretty hyper that way. GreenPartyVoter Aug 2012 #35

Worms? graywarrior Aug 2012 #8

Not seeing anything in the box, so not tapeworm. However my little boy has GreenPartyVoter Aug 2012 #10

If they drag their itchy butts across the rug, you'll know for sure. graywarrior Aug 2012 #11

Cats do that anyway. So do dogs (especially in the center of the room). HopeHoops Aug 2012 #14

Hell, I do it! graywarrior Aug 2012 #16

TMI! TMI! TMI!!!! HopeHoops Aug 2012 #18

Relax, I won't post the pics. graywarrior Aug 2012 #37

Oh well fuck. HopeHoops Aug 2012 #42

I've had cats with tapeworm before, but not other worms. I was told by the GreenPartyVoter Aug 2012 #21

When I first got my kitty, he was bleeding and dragging his butt across the carpet graywarrior Aug 2012 #39

poor li'l guy! Mine were Humane Society rescues. He was surrendered and she was captured from GreenPartyVoter Aug 2012 #41

Unlikely. You usually spot a few and they get the wet shits from hell. HopeHoops Aug 2012 #13

Around 4 months or so kittens start losing their baby teeth riderinthestorm Aug 2012 #20

I tried checking their mouths looking for tooth issues for that very reason, but no one GreenPartyVoter Aug 2012 #23

Oh wow, you are way braver than I. I hate cat bites and would never stick my fingers in there riderinthestorm Aug 2012 #26

I use a beach towel, but it's thin, so easy to wrap. The trick is to get the first edge tucked in GreenPartyVoter Aug 2012 #33

I'd have it checked. One of my kitties has occasional stool issue.... Liberal Veteran Aug 2012 #22

They are due to go get their first Rabies shot next month, so I will ask about that. Thanks! GreenPartyVoter Aug 2012 #24

DNA testing on the blood will confirm the source. Should only run you about $200.... Scuba Aug 2012 #27

Yeah, that's not gonna happen. LOL GreenPartyVoter Aug 2012 #30

Okay that's hilarious! Do people actually DO that? riderinthestorm Aug 2012 #32

I should have never posted that thread. Scuba Aug 2012 #40

You are famous!!! Like RadioLady and Olive Garden, that thread's going down in DU history! riderinthestorm Aug 2012 #43

Know what's really weird? I have no idea what the kudzu thread, olive garden, corn flake, etc are. Scuba Aug 2012 #44
