Here is a picture taken this morning with an iPhone 4s. Sorry, I am like a mum with her new baby….

I have used Metacam on a couple of my kids but it was under the order of a feline specialist, whom I trust very much. Do not want to use it over 3 days.
I doubt that Gabriel is concerned about your religious (or lack of) leanings.
I have had a foster nicknamed Gabby, but it was a she and she was a talker. Proud parents, love them.
I think of Gabriel Byrne the Irish actor in the Usual Suspects. Good film. Gabriel means “God is my Strength”. Its origins are in Hebrew. Ironic that I am an atheist 😉
Well perhaps an agnostic.
What can I say? That beautiful sweet innocent face! You is a proud mammy indeed and rightly so! 🙂
Elisa, I always give my guys human names (well, except for Hoppy, my manx cat that hops). Joey, Rudy, Marla, Nala, Chrissy, Priscilla….well, most of the time. One of my fosters I had named Hunter, which goes without explanation. He is always hiding behind something, wiggling his behind so all you can see are his eyes. I was going to name him Kilroy, but he usually gets stuck with Joo Joo, like in joo joo eyeballs. Crazy, where some of the names come from.
I really like Gabriel as a cat name. I think it suits him but its probably me being all gooey about him 😉
We didn’t change the names several of our cats were given at the shelter. It helps me when I explain the cats because people remember the shelter names. This is Oozy who was named after an oozing abscess. It just suits him. He was on metacam and antibiotics when we brought him home.
Very handsome. Love Oozy. I have read that Metacam is dangerous if given more than once and can cause kidney damage. What have you heard?
He had his last dose just before leaving the shelter. I think its a drug you have to be careful with. I’m sleep texting now but I wrote for you awhile back about a three pill pain killer given once a day. We’ve used it with every spay and with Jaspers neuter because he took it harder than the other boys. Also Sealy was on a liquid narcotic and handled it well but we did choose to wean him off bit by bit. Shelters may use metacam because they always have or it could be preferred drug of shelter vet.
I read on the internet some scary stories about it. It kind of put me off using it. I used it for Charlie for a short while but stopped after reading the stories.
For a “boring” cat daddy you sure are getting a lot of comments 😉
Half of them are mine 🙂
Mine too. Just sent you an urgent breaking news article. Maybe it will occupy you for awhile 🙂
So what you say becoming a father of a (semi-feral) kitten??? this is a mum’s duty 😉 isn’t it so Michael <3
I am hybrid-man: mum and dad. Just like you.
That’s ok Michael. You should be at adoptions when you ask a cat lover about ONE of their cats. Before it is over, my eyes are almost rolling in the back of my head. They usually give a comprehensive bio of every cat they have ever owned. It is quite funny at times.
And it REALLY confuses people when your cats have HUMAN names. We have Lola, Cassie, Henry, Sheela, Shirley, Mandy, Sammy and people. Just shake their head at me these days.
I can feel that. It almost makes me bored thinking about it.
He’s so gorgeous I could look at him all day
Such a sweet, round face.
Those eyes and ears…
He, definitely, takes after your side of the family.
lol yes there’s no doubt who his daddy is 😉
Oh, dear gawwwwd…
…don’t let it be true.
Michael, as a true “Cat Whisperer” please understand that I know what the look in that lovely little kitties eyes really means:
He is thinking of clawing your eyes out when you sleep.
Michael: be afraid, be very afraid.
Nah….he loves me 😉
You haven’t been a new dad with a young child in a long time:)
Here’s the first one I ever took of our feral Renny. It was hard taking his pic without looking him in the eye. Pretending not to see a new cat can speed up the process.
Here he was a few weeks ago. I jittered the background out because he was standing in my desk clutter watching me write.
Look at those wonderful whiskers!
Gabriel might turn out a bit like Renny. Handsome.
Wow he reminds me of Tiger then he was little.
was 3 months old then hard to believe. Thats when i rescued him
Oh he is gorgeous too Elisa
He still likes quiet and lives in my room. He let’s me know when he wants to come out into the living room and we have to put Sammy and Jasper in my room. They’re all brats when put together. Renny knows his name and comes when I call him.
He is precious, adorable and absolutely darling.
You shouldn’t. You’ll get me going and I’ll become even more like a mum swapping notes.
So…do you have a problem with moms swapping notes 🙂
No I don’t but it is just so mummsie. Only women do this sort of thing. Now I am doing it 😉 I understand women better now.
Beautiful kitten.
Oh yes you are just like a mum (well a dad) with a new baby thinking everyone should love him too lol Only we DO love your new baby, personally I can’t get enough of him, so keep on posting photos and telling us all about him 😉
I wonder how many times I’ve posted photos of our boyz lol just like you every chance I get!
You might start a trend of us all posting our cats as babies 😉
I would LOVE that! You’re lucky we rescued so many as adults or I’d really take up some space here…
Your boys were gorgeous kittens. This is mum-talk 😉
