Our Kitty Cat Thinks.....



He's pregnant....

Yep, you read that right. HE thinks he's pregnant.

Timmy was getting very, very jumpy... He would jump up literally 2 feet in the air and do a backflip at any 'strange' noise - skulk around the house looking for 'something'. He nearly ripped the vets arms off when we took him to be vaccinated.

So the vet suggested giving him some synthetic hormones that 'mimic' pregnancy - thus making him more relaxed and less jumpy.

It's worked SO well for the last 4 1/2 months.... But then today I found a lump... Then I found another lump.... Our BOY cat has boobs!!!!

The vet thinks that because Timmy was given the hormone, and now the hormone is wearing off - his brain is now telling him to prepare for kittens.... The vet seems to think it's unusual side-effect - but we do have a very odd cat, so it fits him

So we've given him another round of the hormone treatment.... And will figure out what to do next time - because, like all good injections, they are expensive.


And the expense (along with having another cat already) means that this beautiful kitty that I found last week at the RSPCA when I went with the kids, shall remain at the RSPCA.... Sorry Furby :( I hope you find a nice home soon.

  1. Awww, what a cute kitty (I have a soft spot for ginger kittens!). Our cat also jumps at the slightest sound but that's because he's a mega-wuss! :-)
