Janie the Korat cat (IMG Heavy) - Happy Birthday!
She is known as a Korat, she has the same dark gold eyes those two sister cats have in the wiki picture along with that tiny tuft of white fur both of them have and dark grey markings. She's a crossbreed however, but the other breed(s) are unknown. She is also polydactyl as i learned today from examining her paws (her front paws just didnt seem right to me and it was throwing me through a loop).
Normally a cat has its thumbs looking like this but her thumb is opposable and sits like this. She has this abnormality in all 4 paws. Cats by nature have 18 toes total, 10 in the front and 8 in the back but she has 20 toes, having 5 on each foot. Because this mutation is found in breeds that werent originally from Asia (the mutation was prominent in England and Eastern America) she may be a descendant of Korats who were brought into England under the name of Blue Siamese or possibly (and most probably) a descendant of ones that were introduced in the America's in the 1950's which would of most certainly cross bred at some point during her generations with cats that might of had the mutation as it is common nowadays in the United States, Canada, England, and Wales.
Heres my baby girl <3

Re: Peeking around for a cat
I only say that as most people go for kittens first cos there "cute" etc but old cats gotta get love too Maybe that's just becouse I have never had a kitten (Sylvester was atleast 2 or nearly 2 when we got him balls n all)
Edit: Mum corrected me he was around a few months past 1 years old. Hey I was only 3 when we got him give me a break!

Well thats good!.Xakaal wrote:Ive found yesterday that adult cats are just way too set in their ways for my likes :/ We ended up adopting the first cat i checked out and shes a bundle of hyperactive love <3
That's just my personal opinion about older cats. You don't need to train them etc XD I guess that would be a pain for someone who has a indoor cat and needs to do all that kitty litter stuff but no one has indoor cats here at all (seriously I have never ever seen or heard of anyone with one here XD there proberly is but they are the minorty) and so most cats go poop outside. Haha free plant food XD

Re: Janie the Korat cat (IMG Heavy)
Shes a bundle of love and while shes getting into the habit of clawing the couch i read that being firm and not letting them get away in the slightest with bad behaivor (saying no loud and firmly, snapping fingers, clapping loudly, squirts of water are what was suggested) so we're gonna do that everytime she tries to and she should learn pretty quick. She does after all have a scratching post thats the same model as the one in her adoption room.
She purrs coooonstantly when shes in my lap or i start petting her and for the last couple hours shes been stretched wide out across my lap sleeping. Its really adorable, she doesnt curl up but rather just sticks per paws out and snoozes. She wakes up every so often, stretches some more, yawns, and falls back asleep XD
Edit: I managed to sneak in a picture showing her mutation, its really cute, she looks like shes wearing mittens. I realized she actually -would- have had 22 toes instead of 20 if the mutation continued further during her development if she stayed longer in her moms womb. She has 2 toe pads on the 5th digit on both her front paws (in polydactls the thumb is further down on the paw and extra digits grow from that digit, she has 2 toe pads and a slight bump indicating that there was a 6th one growing but it stopped, probably due to being born and so its sort of like a stump but its not noticeable unless you are handling her paws).

Re: Janie the Korat cat (IMG Heavy)
Irregardless of gender she is amazing and while im still having a hard time, usually in the mornings and nights when i think about Lucky and i always say good morning and tell him i hope he has a good day and whatnot and at night say goodnight and that i hope he sleeps well and sweet dreams and such (pretty much just me talking to my bedroom window, it helps me feel like hes still here regardless of if he really is or isnt), and im really thankful for her companionship. She sleeps with me at night, she purrs all the time, she lies on my lap when im on the computer when shes tired from all the playing we've done (i love tossing her rainbow fuzzy ball around, she loves that thing to death) and falls asleep (those are just a few of many positions she makes when shes sleeping on my lap in those pictures XD).
As for the spaying, i contacted our vet and its $120 and i dont know if thats for laser surgury or the base price but i found another one that is a base of $50 and any extra costs depend on different factors like if we want laser surgury (which we do, its a carbon laser which does the job while reducing infection, bleeding, less painful, faster recovery) or if shes say, pregnant (which shes not thats for sure, the other 2 cats she was with were females and shes too young for her first heat). Im gonna look around at other clinics and see their prices and make sure laser treatments an option.
Right now as im typing shes underneath my computer chair playing with her favorite rainbow ball thats been sitting in a bag of catnip for probably 3 years now XD i need to get fresh catnip, im not gonna give her the old stuff but i did give her the toy that was inside it

Re: Janie the Korat cat (IMG Heavy)
We contacted the owner who bought the Clavamox about the issue and while she cant pay the full amount, she can pay half so we'll be getting $89 back. Its not great but its better then nothing and Janie has everything she needs to kick these problems we didnt know about when we adopted her (quite the surprise really, stepdad was so furious he threatened legally that he'd put it in The Province which is a newspaper that goes through the entire lower mainland which includes Vancouver, Richmond, Burnaby, Pitt Meadows, Maple Ridge, Surrey, Langley, Walnut Grove, Cloverdale, Mission. We were assured that they had no illness and then the one problem appeared and then we discovered its a different type of illness and then we discovered she has a bad infestation and yea.. really pissy day at the vet and Petcetra)
Edit: I left my chair for 2 minutes, if that, and this is what i see XD

Re: Janie the Korat cat (IMG Heavy)
As i mentioned in the rant thread shes been having trouble with sneezing and trouble breathing cause of that, she stopped eating today cause she barfed up her food from her stomach being in so many knots. We went out to look for the medicine the vet from the clinic we were taking her to suggested and we talked to two different vets and two different pharmacists (all different locations within our area) and they couldnt make heads or tails what Tris-EDTA is, one vet googled it but couldnt find any descriptions for it indicating that its for use in organisms. I googled it and i couldnt find any information referring to use on humans or animals.
The vets said that they use saline solutions that humans use for the animals in lower doses so we went to the drug store and a pharmacist gave us a non-commercial brand that is quite literally the exact same as the commercial brand stuff but because the company isnt one of those huge 'super giants' it was 3 times less which we're thankful for. We also bought an inexpensive humidifier which is on right now and holy man does it work wonders, its been on for half an hour and the rooms starting to get nice and humid, and warm. So thats a huge relief.
We're taking Janie to our vet, they're getting all her records from the other vet faxed to them so they know whats going on and we're gonna make her a regular customer over there with a vet we know and trust rather then one who gave us names to medicines that vets and pharmacists have never heard before. Like seriously? We couldnt even google proper information on it, and he told us that we could get it at a pharmacy and that its made for clearing up congestion.
I swear, that guy has 20 years experience on him and he cant do jack all for a friggin cat cold. He can treat ear mites, but he cant treat a damned cat cold.
