new kitten questions

[gabybe]

very sad to say Binksy's swabs came back from the vets and he has cat flu - they think he is probably immunocomprimised (hence small weight) so sadly he has gone back to the breeder today - i desperately wanted to keep him but was advised by many people that i could be committing myself to a lifetime of problems (with respiritory problems/cattery problems/never being able to have another cat etc) - even though i have only had him 8 days i feel so sad and will miss my boy very much - thank you to all that have posted in the last week - hopefully i will get another kitten in the next few months :-(

So Raylor gets to go outside on our glassed in patio and there was a grasshopper that made several valiant attempts to escape, but it was caught and EATEN by Raylor. I am not concerned about the raw food discussion, but should I be worried about him eating an insect? Thanks Pat

Nope. Tasty, fun and nutritious Grasshopper and prawns - much the same thing.

Bruce was being entertained very nicely by patting a grasshopper on the bottom last week & just watching it hop,he is too much of a gentlepuss to want to hurt anything,he won't even try & catch a fly,unfortunately a certain nephew came out & before I could grab him the poor grasshopper was caught mid jump,all gorn,dejected Bruce because he had lost his playmate & one smug looking babe.....

Sooooooo sad for you, you must be heartbroken. But as your friends have said better to be upset for a while now than have heartache for longer.
Yes you can get another furbaby soon, give the toys basket etc that Binksy used a real good scrub, and look and think positive about finding another furbaby. Good luck and take care.

So sorry to hear about your little baby being so poorly, I hope that your next baby coon is a healthy one. xx
