Have just gotten back on to read posts. Please accept my grateful
thanks for all your help and concern regarding the jade plant and its
toxicity when nibbled by "in" cats. My jade plant has now been
transferred to my brother and SIL's house (a cat free zone) its a big
old plant and very handsome but if it's harmful to my cats it's
harmful to me. Poor old Jack was so, so ill. He's still old and
fragile, but he's no longer being violently sick and has no longer got
diarrhoea - simply by removing a plant! I'm so angry that I didn't
connect the dots and realise! DUH......
He's getting very special care n cuddles now! *Not to mention his very
own grazing grass (courtesy of his Sekrit Santa AKA John Ross Mc
Master!) *A special new blankie and a very repentant Meomie
brandishing treats!
Thanks to you all,

Bess.
Paws - this would have taken too long to have been written in scottish
meowchat, so please forgive.x

The hardest things to see, are things that are right in front of us, and
have been there for a long time.

I have seen a LONG list of plants which are poisonous to cats, but I can
only remember two of them: Easter lily, and poinsettia.

I'm so happy to hear that Jack is doing so well, now.

I hope that he will continue to have good health, now that the vicious
jade plant that was ferociously attacking him has been sentenced to
prison, where it belongs

I hope that Jack's illness didn't take too much of a toll on you. Stress
like this can exact a price on YOUR health too, unfortunately.

Please be sure to spoil Jack unmercifully. It is the only way to be sure
he makes a full recovery.

I'm sorry to say that all of my posts are in 'human speak': I'm just not
smart enough to use meow chat

Poinsettia too? I usually have one of them at Christmas! For some
reason I never got around to buying one this year - fang bast!
I sew the cats new blankets every year and Jack is really enjoying his
now. They are soft fleece and very warm. I usually buy some polar
fleece off the roll, make it up into kitty size blankets and place
them around the windows as well as the sofas because usually the cats
follow the sun. He is so relaxed and sleeps so soundly now, its nice
just to sit and watch him (-; I feel fine now that he's on the mend.
He is still drinking too much water and has lost a lot of weight but
he's eating again and keeping his food down. He's being well spoiled!
Meow chat is very complicated, so I decided a long time ago just to
give my cats the Scots voices they already had! Well, the ones they
use to speak to me daily (-; I know sometimes it must be hard to
decipher....blame the cats!
