My youngest Burmese, Rocky (aka the Noonoo) has, for the past couple of weeks, been totally over-grooming himself and tugging out his own fur.
Poor thing looks mangy! I was hoping it would clear up by itself but it didn’t, so I whisked him off to the vet this morning.
Mr Vetman confirmed what everyone had been telling me – mah kitteh is stressed 🙁
BUT … it could also just be heat stress (Rescue Remedy did nothing to help), and not real “psychological damage” (sheesh, MORE freakin’ drama to deal with?) and prescribed something to de-stress him. Um, it’s a cat contraceptive but apparently it does the trick! And who am *I* to argue?
So anyway, The Noonoo is now, as far as I’m concerned, as high as a kite! Kitteh hasn’t left my side all day and if he’s not meowing for my attention, he’s collapsed into a heap on the table next to me.
Awwwwe … poor little thing!
(um, no dirty jokes from you guys with your minds in the gutter heh)
Hah! fanTAStic news Steve 😀 I’m really thrilled for you.
And proud too – proud that you took stock of where you were, didn’t like what you saw, thought about how to change things and DID IT! That took some guts and a whole lotta faith.
I have 🙂
And the new job is rocking! Thats why I’ve been so quiet!
Ta Steve … did you notice that we use just about the same nicknames heh 🙂
And how’s the new job going? Been thinking about you loads, hope that it’s rocking!
Poor NooNoo!!!!
Hope he gets better soon!!!!
