Angel and Chucky's 13th Gotcha Day!
Thirteen years ago, The Hubby and I drove out and came back with two kittens in a box! The black and white kitten climbed the driver's seat and perched on The Hubby's shoulder, while the dark brown kitten stayed inside the box on my lap in the back seat. We are first-time cat parents, and boy oh boy, have we learned a lot along the way!

This is Chucky, a few days ago after he'd been given a dose of the appetite stimulant mirtazapine. Only AFTER we'd given it to him, did I read that it can cause increased vocalization! It's really a form of speed! He kept on like this for almost two days; thankfully he's quieted down now, but we never really saw much of an increase in his appetite. We'll continue to work with yummy flavors and give him fresh food anytime he asks for it.

ReplyDeleteNot so interesting when it went on for almost 24 hours...oy! Thanks!
DeleteHappy Gotcha Day Chucky and Angel! Our two kitties like to talk ... so that's what I'm used to.
ReplyDeleteChuck is a little vocal, but not like he was day-in-day-out! Thank you!
DeleteHappy Gotcha Day! And many pawhugs to all of you.

DeleteHappy Gotcha Day to Angel and Chuck! I enjoyed the videos very much. Angel is so sweet! Lovely to hear Chuck's voice but he must have gotten very tired after meowing a lot for almost two days. I hope you get to bring more appetite to him.

DeleteHey! I'm not sure if anyone else has suggested it, but cyproheptadine is another appetite stimulant they can give kitties. Mirtazapine worked really well for Angel Jewel, but it turned Carmine into a total nut - he was crying like crazy and seemed really disoriented and confused. Needless to say, Carmine got all of one dose of the medication and that was it for him. He takes cyproheptadine during his pancreatitis flares (along with his anti-nausea meds and pain meds) to help him eat. It has worked out well for him. You may want to ask your vet about trying it instead. Mirtazapine is the first choice, but many people find that cypro works better.
ReplyDeleteHappy 13th Gotcha Day to Angel and Chuck, and here's to many, many more!! <3
That's the same thing that 15andmeowing recommended. I appreciate the info, thanks! We don't ever want to go through that again.
DeleteHappy Gotcha Day, Angel and Chucky! May there be many more!

Thank You!
DeleteHappy Gotcha Day to Angel and Chuck!! I didn't realize they were your first two kitties. Lovely to see the videos of both of them.
ReplyDeleteRobin
And The Hubby is hoping it's our last two kitties, but he's WRONG about that! Hehehe!
DeleteThank You!
Happy Gotcha Day Angel and Chucky!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much!
DeleteHappy belated Gotcha Day kitties! I bet you you have brought such joy into the lives of your humans! Cheers to you Angel & Chucky! BTW, Mom tried me on mirtazapine, too.
ReplyDeleteValentine, I'm betting you didn't react well to that stuff either! Glad I didn't spend a fortune on the prescription, because it's going into the drawer. Thank you!
DeleteOh, poor Chucky. I hate when medications have psychological side effects, and it's even worse when they don't work as well as you hoped. I'm glad he's feeling better.
ReplyDeleteHappy Gotcha Day!
